Thanks anon, I thought so too. I bought it awhile back and never had the chance to make it tho... maybe sometime soon with all this extra fleece and minky I have

...You couldn't have posted this in the makeup general?

>>9309181
A lot of it is overhyped because this board is full of weebs

depends.

canmake, if i recall correctly, is pretty much drugstore-tier. for what it is, i like well enough. i feel like people get a wet pussy over certain cosmetics but in reality they're equal to maybelline, rimmel, etc, but in cute packaging and from asia.

>shaving my head
How long's your hair now?

>>9248436
Just touching the top of my shoulders. I've had extremely short hair before and I liked it, but I've held onto this relatively "safe" haircut for a while solely for the purpose of lolita and j-fashion and I really do wanna cut my hair short again but super short hair looks weird with most styles

>>9248358
wtf OP why go to extremes and shave your head? just wait a month and dye your hair back to your natural brown colour so it doesnt look odd growing back

>>9327767
you are simply getting older anon.

>>9327767
lol. u r an oldfig.

>Go to bbs first con, 2008, age 13
>Everyone there is college age, feel really out of place
>Decide I can't wait to be older and fit in better
>2016, now college age, go to cons
>Everyone is ~16, feel really out of place
>????
I don't even understand where these kids get the money to go to cons desu. I was a hoarder of a kid who saved up all my money to be able to go to one day of a con, and there are kids with decent cosplays, full weekend badges, staying at hotels and arms full of dealers room/AA shopping bags filling the con halls now.

No cosplay panels? Wtf?

>>9327085
THANK GOD FINALLY. I don't think that it's meant to remove fan panels at all, but most of them tend to be trashy and shameless ways for people to abuse having panels about themselves. The ones I've seen around the area rarely are even about discussing the anime or character itselves, so I don't see how they should qualify for a free membership when they also tend to ask for 5+ free badges to shove their friends in.

I'm sure that if someone sends in a panel with a decent following if it's a game show or somewhat relevant, they might overturn it. But then again, it's just saying that they are giving a preference to comp people for quality panels, not ask me panels when they don't add to programming.

The no cosplay panels is likely directed at people who do miscellaneous stuff. I could see some grey area they might need to take on "anime-influenced Western panels", but otherwise, this isn't a bad thing.

I honestly think that cons should be decisive about what they think qualifies for a free membership. Other major cons don't comp you anyway even if you do a free panel, so no one is banning ask-me panels, just ensuring that there's not a flood of underage signing up for a free ride.

I've personally just dealt with lots of fellow panelists whom I've seen abuse smaller community cons by bringing x amount of friends in there for panels that just have to do with them dawdling for free.

I can actually see both sides of this argument. For larger conventions it's difficult to provide diverse quality programming. For smaller cons, they sometimes take every single panel submission they get. Considering that volunteers are required to work 16+ hours at Sakuracon, I think that requesting 3-5 hours of panel hosting for a free badge is a little light. Then again, if you have people who won or placed in the costume contest last year, offering them a free badge in exchange for hosting a workshop/panel related to cosplay would be a smart move. If someone has qualifications that may be relevant to other attendees, such as a Japanese teacher at your local university, you might actually want to invite them to speak and give them incentives beyond a free badge.

Not all panelists are equal. Some have clout, credibility and content that your attendees want to see in a quality panelist.

This is cute, not a big fan of the socks, though.

Since OP obviously doesn't know how to start a dump...

People have been genderswapping male characters to female for years, I don't see how this is any different.

You think this could be swapped into a male but still be identifiable as Fubuki?

You could think of yourself as being the admiral dressed as Bucky.

If she (hell, anybody) makes me a free costume, I'll do a free full photoshoot with the works with her.

Anyone with a dslr thinks theyre a photographer these days even if their work is subpar/awful lol. Photos arent something youre entitled to and people arent requires to shoot, then edit your pics for free just because you already spent a lot on your costume. Buy your own camera ans force a friend.

Plenty of free photographers around. Go ask them.

Paying for a photographer is an agreement for, and hopefully this is what you get...

1) A professional photo. This can mean many things, but let's stick with the simple ones for all photographers. A well-balanced photo that consists of adequate exposure/lighting, composition/framing, and focusing. I say this since not every photographer is a user of photo manipulation/imaging software.
2) A photo delivered. A paid photographer better deliver at least their minimum promised photos, or they'll be lambasted to Hell and back! *cough - Lauren Pihl/Aoife Haney - cough*

I use to adore and aspire to he a purely old school lolita a LA Momoko. But lately I feel as if I look old and manly and note cute at all. I've only found myself to be pretty or beautiful in classic or Gothic.
>TFW i just wanna be a kawaii old school lolita like my old school novel hero
