>how tall are you
178cm

>Jfashion, or cosplay? If Jfashion, which ones?
Lolita

>where do you get your clothes (for both normalfag and jfashion wear)
For lolita, I buy brand in longer lengths, or I alter stuff myself (lengthen straps, add extra ruffles to hems, etc). For normalfag it's a lot of H&M and Uniqlo because I'm lazy.

>most helpful advice you can give to other tall girls
Don't be afraid to get stuff altered, it'll look better on you if it actually fits you properly. Also underskirts should only be used as a last resort they're actually kind of terrible.

>how tall are you
5'11" or 180cm
>Jfashion, or cosplay? If Jfashion, which ones?
Cosplay mostly. I like looking at lolita and Gyaru but I'd never wear it.
>where do you get your clothes (for both normalfag and jfashion wear)
Amazon, because I wear a lot of mini dresses and skinny jeans.
>most helpful advice you can give to other tall girls
For fashion, layering is a godsend when you're tall. If tights or thigh highs are too short for you, cut off the toes so you can pull them higher and wear them with boots. Opt for shorter sleeves or just wear wrist accessories to hide the fact that your sleeves are too short.

If you have proportionally large feet, Pleaser and its offshoots (Demonia, Funtasma, Bordello, Pin Up Coutre, Fabulicious) go up to sz13 US. Likewise, while Asian brands might usually be a lot smaller than US, searching "plus size" for shoes on Asian sites like Aliexpress will often net results with larger sizes.

For cosplay, don't let your height limit your choices. Most anime characters tend to be short, and tall characters often are designed and written to be the sexy, super confident types which not everyone wants to cosplay. If you really like a character who is canonically short, don't be afraid to cosplay them anyway. Also when ordering wigs, keep in mind, your longer torso might mean a wig that's beyond butt length on a model/mannequin might be just barely waist length on you, so measure before you order.

>For those of you who care to have your picture taken, what do you do about this?
I don't really do shoots, but I'd suggest making use of your environment. Pose sitting down, lounging, or leaning against something, or make up for the height difference using stairs.

>>What is a brandwhore?
To put it simply, a brandwhore is someone who's wardrobe is primarily or completely composed of brand.
>>Do you consider yourself a brandwhore?
Yes.
>>How does the term brandwhore make you feel?
It's kind of an elitist term, whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, I'm not sure.
>>Are there any characteristics that seperate brandwhores from people with a ton of brand?
Brandwhores are loathe to buy anything that's not from a large and well established Japanese brand and are looking to replace all budget friendly options with brand.
>>Are there ita brandwhores?
Of course.

this is kinda silly but okay!

>What is a brandwhore?
somebody with a decently sized wardrobe that has more brand than anything. somebody who only has two dresses, and they're both AP, is not a brandwhore

>Do you consider yourself a brandwhore?
kinda. i've been called one

>How does the term brandwhore make you feel?
it's silly and usually used by people who don't have brand to make themselves feel better
>d-don't listen to her, she's just a brandwhore!!!
>fucking brandwhores telling me that bodyline isn't brand!!!

>Are there any characteristics that seperate brandwhores from people with a ton of brand?
anybody with a ton of brand will probably be called a brandwhore. but if we're going to draw a distinction, it's probably in the attitude. somebody who's elitist and thinks brand is better, and fits the prior criteria, might be a brandwhore

>Are there ita brandwhores?
yeah. you can't buy good taste

unless you pay a personal stylist i guess

>What is a brandwhore?
Someone who's thrown out logic in place of labels regardless of what said labels are attached to.
>Do you consider yourself a brandwhore?
I am brand-literate but yet to fall off the deep end and loose my ability to reason based on the actual product in front of me verse the tag attached to it.
>How does the term brandwhore make you feel?
Weird. Because I want to say there is no such thing as a brandwhore, but then I keep seeing actual evidence of real brandwhores.
>Are there any characteristics that separate brandwhores from people with a ton of brand?
It's the lack of ability to judge the value and quality of an item based on the merits of it's construction, material and design. A brandwhore is very concerned with knowing where a piece came from / who it can be attributed to, while ignoring it's it's functionally a "good" item.
>Are there ita brandwhores?
Yes. I think most brandwhores are "intellectual itas".

hype!

ERD from IL, GR from IL, and MD from CA, how long have y'all been on /cgl/ and how into the board's culture have you been in? I don't wanna put in jokes you won't understand or appreciate with your gifts haha

>>9259909
that gif is wholesome

>Rooms sold out less than an hour of opening.
>Anything that's left will cost an arm and leg or a major inconvenience.
Would kill for a space in the Gaylord. Katsu I can live with rooming someplace outside of it, but MAGFest has too much going on throughout all hours that being inside the Gaylord is optimal.

The party that never sleeps

Probably won't even go this year 'cause everything is sold out thanks to all the fucking katsufags

Decided to skip MGC Experience this year. Program is not really interesting and yeah, they have a performer which is nice, but I'm already bored if I think about last year. So a performer will not fix my boredom.

It seems Terracon is still alive, recently switched management and are giving away tickets on their Facebook page. They also did an interview with AVO in which they claim Terracon will be different as it "offers a fresh look into our other events" and will also have karaoke and food stands next to the previously announced cosplay competition.
They also made a minor update to their programming which now includes having your picture taken with rodents, reptiles or birds. So... any thoughts?

Also here's the link to the interview: http://avo-blog.nl/2016/11/14/avo-blog-interview-illes-dijken-terra-con/

>Posting pictures of (WIP) /cgl/ items is encouraged

Either this or the Bea-puppet, but that one seemed to give people nightmares.

Dumb Lolita question. I have a really sheer blouse an I able to pair it with a skirt? What should I wear under it? Any examples of this done well?

How do people keep pic Lolita shoes looking nice? I swear every pair of pastel tea parties (or similar) I've ever bought has been chopped or scuffed around after one day of wear.

>>9255481
You could pust a vest or bolero over it. A carmisole under it might work.

The great 11.11 hunt is mainly over. What did you get gulls?

This was all on sale. I hadn't ordered in 6 months, I'm glad I didn't go overboard.
Though I'm gonna wait for 12.12 to maybe order more stuff before shipping (ss has 90 days of free storage so might as well).
>tfw antaina never on sale

hell yeah senpai I just got hella employed, time to spend money on superfluous things

>>9250652

Yeah, looking forward to it and Oakland restaurants.

Brought over 1000 commissions for people to see in my hotel room

Krakencon is always great

More of a cringe, but there's no cringe thread, but I'll kick it off
>Dressed as a generic maid at London MCM
>With a group of friends, nobody else was cosplaying
>Holding hands with boyfriend at the time, walking down through the bit where the Subway and stuff is
>Two girls RUN towards me, literally sprinting
>"HEY CAN WE TAKE A PHOTO WITH YOU?"
>one hands their phone to my boyfriend to take image
>other one does the same
>I pose for them because i'm too confused to say no
>they both run off straight after
>"Thanks! We're having a competition!"
I still don't understand what they were having a competition of, and I don't think they were in the con to begin with because they didn't have wristbands. I will never see those photos
