I swear to god I'm not baiting, but I got so excited and was just about to buy these before I read the description. How likely is it that I'm going to be seen as trans/fakeboy/"appropriating" if I wear these socks online and irl? In lolita and out of it. I don't live in a super liberal area or go to gay bars, but the other subcultures I'm into have have tons of people straight out of tumblr. I'm not really much worried about being attacked or "caring about people's opinions" I just hate constantly getting asked about things enough already and I don't want to attract that crowd.

I'm bi and I have no idea what you're talking about, what's special about those socks?

Just wanted to get some inspiration for a possible event. Post some sweet coords!
Would also love to see Sweet Lolita photos from events. I tend to see a lot of gothic/classic coords

Don't know what to do with the hair yet, but how's the Eren Jaeger cosplay?
Generic
get a wig.
Use the sticky and lurk more.
>>9504416
You should probably lose weight/gain muscle. Look too fat for the character
>>9504439
I'm working on that now, thankfully I'm still young so it shouldn't be that hard. Plus AWA isn't until September so I have time
How do you feel, knowing that buzzfeed is showing you guys up.
This is what peak cosplay looks like.
This is what you should be aiming for.
No one man should have all that power
fuck buzzfeed trying to fuck up cosplay
''
Hmm, maybe I should read Bezerk, and ideas where a good site to read Bezerk would be?
You may not like it, but this is what true craftsmanship looks like.
It helps a little that the babe doing the cosplay is smoking hot too ;)
>Fanime Hires lack luster guests, employs mostly volunteers, charges for the arcade and is ran for profit but also as cheaply as possible
>AX charges for the arcade, concerts and even the masquerade in addition for the badge. Bag check also cost money
Everywhere else outside of CA does not charge for big guests or the arcade yet CA loves piling on the charges. Why is it like this?
This might shock you, but cons around the globe do this. Stop attending them or research conventions you want to attend to see if it's shit or not. Even just asking around might tell you if you may enjoy a con elsewhere.
Because Fanime is shit and AX can get away with it because of its popularity and size
Because CA cons can get away with it. Don't like it? Don't go. Or fly to other cons.
Bitching on cgl isn't going to change a damn thing.
Please, try to help at least 3 people, or everyone else will be discouraged to help you.

Just done mine. Suggestions please? I'm into anything desu, Animes, HQs and Games

Rin from Ao no Exorcist
>>9492225
I really like Torhu for you but a lot of your ideas are good, Wicke and Galko would both be good fits for you and Kanako Mimura would too plus you've got your choice of costumes.
A few people also suggested Mei from Overwatch and I have to agree, but it's not on your idea list anymore so maybe you're not into it? Which is fair.
>>9492024
Yeah man I'm feeling the Greed, simple and sweet with a good design.
Megacon is in 1 week. Are you ready?

Also does anyone know what the wristbands look like this year?
I remember last year someone on this board had vectors and images of some of the wristbands.
>>9483386
Eh....the new owners have really proven they don't give a shit about the attendees, the vendors, or the alley.
>>9483387

Coords that are not quite right.

WTS: Atelier Pierrot Princess Bustle Corset Dress
Looks more grey in the stock photos, but it's black in person
I bought it secondhand, but it doesn't really seem to have been worn by anyone
I haven't worn it because I can't come up with a coord for it, I mostly wear sweet, this was kind of an impulse buy
It's a gorgeous dress, but it's just not for me
I'm looking to sell it for $230 plus $8 domestic shipping (usa), but I'm open to reasonable offers
Please feel free to ask questions if you have any

feedback on lacemarket @anja_elisabeth
a while ago in one of the proto-lolita threads, some anons were complaining about the loss of the connection between lolita and vivienne westwood. Use this as an inspo/discussion thread for coords with VW pieces (other than just shoes because, let's face it, that's still pretty common)

dress on the right is VW
