I just watched that one, actually. Informative, but doesn't extend past the con, when I followed that info well into 2015

this is all you need

people who don't press their seams

you put all that effort into sewing it, just... spend five more minutes and turn the damned iron on

>cosplay looks flat and limp

Stories* amazing i fucked up the title

It wasn't actually a creeper, so much as it was super eerie and somewhat unsettling, but I stayed at the Saint Claire at Fanime a few years ago and the person in the room next to ours played clarinet scales for hours at a time all day with strange breaks in between. At first we didn't notice, but it started out very very low and slowly got higher one scale at a time.

Getting out of the shower in a supposedly haunted historical hotel and hearing soft, muffled, ominous clarinet music through the walls is TERRIFYING, just in case you were wondering.

>>9587775
that's actually really unsettling, how did you or no one else complain to staff? assuming he was doing it in the middle of the night too?

>>9586655
How many people go to the after party? I only ever see a few select few who actually go.

>>9586666
I'd say probably most of the people who go to the Sunday tea party go to the afterparty from my experience

>>9586655
Lord help me, I am not ready.

The other night I had a dream that Novala was the special guest but all he did was sit around smoking weed and writing poetry he refused to show anyone, then Kokusyoku Sumire performed a live but there were only like 7 people in the room for the performance (probably inspired by when barely anyone turned up to Omnia Vanitas in VM).

My real guess for the guest is another AP model, I don't think they'd announce another brand (even a small one) on the day of the event because it gives people no chance to incorporate that designer's pieces into their coords.

>>9586484
I'll be there all three days. It's a pretty chill con. Who are you cosplaying as?

>>9586484

I'll be there all 3 days as Kizuna Ai and Saki Asamiya! Mainly stuck behind a booth though.

Never been, I've been thinking about buying a ticket for the hell of it though.

Good

>Does a fashion inherently have to form strict rules to become successful, like lolita did?
It doesn't. I think the brands made rules surrounding lolita and a lot of girls took it and ran with them. I see a lot of people touting what is and isn't lolita as a sign of superiority. The ones loudest about this are often relatively new to lolita as well, scolding older lolitas or ones that haven't grasped the concept of the fashion yet. (Think tumblrettes that that threw on some Bodyline with no petti)
>Do you like old old-school? Or is it definitely a product of its time?
Both. I think I can both love old-school and see it for what it is. I don't think it'll ever go back to old school unless a certain gen of lolitas gets exhausted on prints and OTT. I feel like CoF/Chinese lolitas are taking the fashion very far away from old school at the moment. It seems to be an almost uniquely Western group that likes old school. I'm sure some of the Japanese are like that, too.
>If you're an oldfag, what year did you first see/hear about lolita?
Not as oldfag as most, but back when egl was lively on LJ. I'd love to go back in time and see parts of that, but I don't miss a lot of things that oldfags conveniently omit. No overseas brand like AP USA, difficulty obtaining it from Japan, doing bizarre things like buying sissy shoes for lolita, etc.

What's the earliest dress anyone can think of? I was in an old school thread awhile back where someone claimed to own a piece from the 90s.

Can some one grab me some water? On steps playing weeb music

>>9603837
I can bring and empty cider bottle full of tap water if you're in need. Heading to the steps now.

>>9603840
Dai joe boo. Managed to get back to room for supplies. Will be last man standing

I'm going Sat+Sunday. Probably regular clothes or at most comfy cosplay like sports anime jerseys etc.

Is it just me or is it strange how few people are excited for this one? For a convention this size LCAC has seemingly no social media presence. No meetups being planned, photoshoots, or anything. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong areas of the internet.

>>9597886
Well because AnimeNYC is a sponsored con happening in Nov and not run by thirst lord photogs with bad reps.

Also it has an overall rep of being poorly planned, panels being weak, events being boring or unorganized, and the location is pretty meh. Nothing to be excited about.

Classic, although some of their dresses can be used in a sweet coord as well. Some IW stuff is even right for gothic, but it's still a classic brand.

What are the major Japanese auction sites and what Shopping Services do people usually use?

>tfw been in Lolita for five years but still don't know how to buy from Japanese auctions

>>9592536
I was entering the SMASH comp but i'm gonna bail cause i'm not happy with where i'm at right now for my cos.

Otherwise i'm probably entering the karaoke comp!

>>9592536
Feelsbad, but I'm buying a bunch of cosplays in order to coast to the end of the year while I finish studying full time. I was kinda hoping I would be able to make something to compete with this year, but my ass is too kicked with other stuff lmao.

I'm looking forward to seeing cosplays from SMASH. It should be good. A lot of people I like are going.

>>9592536
I am trying to finish off my costume for Championships. I don't really mind if I don't win, I just want the costume to be finished already.
