It should be pretty self explanatory by this point, so fire away.
FW ink wig dyeing question... I’m trying to achieve a warm brown color- dark brown with a red tint (see pic related). I’m thinking with the white wig I have, dye it a light red/red purple (by not letting the pigment dry all the way), rinse and dry completely. Then dye over that with a dark brown. Or the opposite way- dye the white wig brown first, then go over with the red to tint it. Or I could nix the layering idea altogether and just mix a brown, red and purple, but I'm afraid that won't look as natural as it could. Which one of these ideas would work better do you think? Or something else entirely?
>>9509062
Going from a white wig to that shade all the way through is going to be too much work and with the money you spend on all the ink you'll need, especially if you're using a longer or fuller wig, so you may as well buy another wig.
FW ink dying is usually better for gradients, hilights, and tinting, not really changing the shade of the wig to something entirely different. Pic related was only at 2 bottles before brushing it out and adding more.

Thanks anon I didn't know that. Saved me from spending a lot of money unnecessarily. What would be better for that then? I've seen Sharpie and even fabric dye being used.

Con was kinda mediocre this year. Everybody's already talked about attendance and I noticed it too, but what was weird was that all of the local businesses were busy as fuck, and when I chatted with the people working there they were shocked to hear that the con was kind of quiet. I think maybe people were just spending more time hanging out with friends near the con than actually at the con.
The gathering was tiny but I had fun roaming around with the group and being the drunk old guy trying to play senpai.
One thing that was actually pretty good IMO was the dealer's hall. I really like that they're shifting more and more to small companies making original fan products, because it means there's actually stuff there that I can't just get on AmiAmi. I got some pretty cool KemoFure loot.
Oh yeah, Kaban dude, I have that pic of you and QT Serval. Want me to post it?
What do you think lolita will look like in the future?
Will The Rules become more dated and irrelevant?
What will/should become a new substyle/theme?
Will UTKs ever make a comeback?
>>9495445
>Will UTKs ever make a comeback?
For me they're always been here, since OTKs always hit me UTK

Fat or tall?
>>9495445
Considering that sailor had a boom like 5 years ago, was followed by nun some years later and has been lately do tue the China boom in Japan, maybe country will evolve too?
Lifestyle thread?
What do you consider the requirements or tenants of 'lifestyle" lolita? Are there any particular hobbies or activities that you think lend themselves to lifestyle? Are you a lifestyle lolita, or have you ever thought about trying it out?
>>9488492
Gangbangs
People who are lolita (have lolita as their main clothing style and don't wear something else unless necessary)
Do people even really practice lifestyle lolita anymore on any broader scale? Maybe it's because the community is fractured since EGL died but I hardly see people who claim to be lifestyle now. Then again, I also rarely see people who wear lolita daily like people used to, versus coordinates for special occasions
In EGL's heyday, lifestyle was typically defined as someone who
-Wore lolita regularly (every day if possible, with exceptions for situations where they couldn't wear it)
-Subscribed to the idea of Lolitas being polite, reserved, feminine, as promoted in some of the essays in GLB
-Had hobbies that were considered refined/feminine/polite, like embroidery, reading classic literature, etc
I'm AP fan girl getting disappointed on every release print after print and I'm thinking about buying more Baby as a result. What are your favorite dresses? If you can accompany pictures with the names of the dresses 'cause I don't know many of them and I want to learn more!
Also I found bit disappointing that there's less dresses on sale from these brands. Or maybe it's the illusion I'm getting from that I need to search A/P and Baby separately.

Who is your favourite lolita model?
>>9515524
I love Risa, in and out of lolita. I want to marry her, I want be like a sister to her. To see her live was my dream come true.

>Who is your favorite lolita model?
Her business with the Leighs left a bad taste in my mouth but god damn I still love Misako a lot. I know some people say she's robotic or emotionless or that her smile is weird but I think she's adorable.
I also really liked IW's Model-san, even if she kinda did remind me of Tom Felton.
alright /cgl/
In need of some inspo.
What kind of costume would be great for someone who is:
- Nordic male
- 6'4"
- 180 lbs
- 6'7" wingspan
- wide shoulders
- low bf/toned build
- experienced in acrobatics, parkour, and martial arts
Ideas I've considered are
- Slender Man
- Pyramid Head (Silent Hill)
- Abe Sapien (Hellboy)
- Some kind of viking/martial artist
What other things work for someone who is tall & slender/semi-muscular?

>How was the con?
Its been a long time since I went to a con, brought cosplay and never wore it..10/10 tho would go again if I can afford it
>Meet any new people?
Actually yes! but mostly mutual friends of mine
>Get any cool stuff from dealers or AA?
AA was awesome, hope everyone sold a lot of their stuff
>Planning on hitting up Colossal East in September?
This is actually a really bad time for East Coast because we already have DragonCon and AWA in Sept
>>9508920
Had a great time, barely got around to cosplaying, spent a lot of time with friends and in the waterpark. I'm exhausted but it feels like even nearly 5 days of con was not enough to do everything I wanted to. I hope Colossal East is good but I don't want to travel that far.
>How was everyone's con?
My first con outside of Michigan. I thought it was good, although if I go next year I'd definitely consider staying at the actual Kalahari, since getting to/from was a pain, even with a short drive.
The convention did feel really crowded. Never recalled Youmacon feeling that cramped at either of its' previous locations.
>Meet any new people?
Yes. Met some people through my friends who also attended, and met some other people in the rhythm game community. One of them was also at the friday meetup (and I actually played against them in the DDR tournament.)
>Get any cool stuff from dealers or AA?
No.
>Planning on hitting up Colossal East in September?
8 hour drive... I have severe doubts. Next large one for me is probably Youmacon.
Would I go back again next year? Probably will.
