I wear this under everything.

>>9359023
Even your swimsuit anon?

>>9359015
I usually wear shape wear shorts or one that looks like a onepiece bathing suit.
Just having something smoothing out your shape is such an improvement.
I'm interested in buying a body dance tights, does anyone have any experience with those?

Cheap cons by NYC- CPAC, Liberty City Anime Con. You can take public transport to get to CPAC, and it's actually a decent growing convention. LCAC is very weeby, but it's in midtown so easy to get to.

There's also NYCC, but it isn't cheap. If you've never been it's worth going. Also, this year Crunchyroll is starting up Anime NYC in November, so I expect that to be good. There's not a whole lot of cons in NYC, but there's some groups that do cosplay bar events and hang out.

NYC is great because you can pretty much travel to any Eastern con through trains, so I'm jelly anon. Welcome!

There are a decent amount of meets and things and happen in the NYC area, especially in the Bryant Park area since Kinokuniya's there. They tend to pop up on the FB events.

Thanks for the for responses!

I'll check out CPAC when I get down there then! Getting to Jersey isn't very hard if I can manage the Long Island Express properly. I'm actually pretty interested because Rookiez iz PUNK'D will be there.

I actually went to NYCC in 2014 and 2015 but I stopped in 2016 aftemror the costs went up and the hassle of even getting the tickets became so tedious.

From where I from there used to be an over-saturation of conventions, it'll be a pretty interesting experience from what I can tell. And I actually saw Anime NYC on a list of cons but I didn't know it was from Crunchy so that's kinda cool to know.

>>9363506
I had no idea what Kinokuniya was until I looked it up. Definitely going to make it a thing to stop by when I get there.

I bought a hair tie from Wunderwelt's Rakuten last week, and this is the email they sent me:

Hello [my name]

Thank you very much for using Shop "Wonderwelt Rakuten Market Store" in Rakuten Market.
For the following orders, change procedure has been done, so I will contact you.

If you have any questions about this change procedure,
Please contact the shop "Wonderwelt Rakuten Market Shop".

And I mailed them right back that I'm ready to pay.
It's been several days, they haven't sent me a paypal invoice yet.
I'm getting concerned that I don't understand what they mean.

updated mail list! i feel like i'm at the point where i'm less bent on acquiring main pieces and more on getting accessories/filler to work with

>tfw newfags make a thread about other people's mistakes

meb

>>9311805
>calling some else a newfag for making a bad makeup thread, which we've had for literal years

????

>>9311809
OP made a mistake while creating a topic about mistakes

that's all

does anyone even do this anymore now that avatar fandom is dying

I'll never feel okay to cosplay Mulan and that makes me sad

This article is from 2015. The comments section has already told off the writer for being racist and having double standards.

But the thing that really stuck out for me is she called Korra an Asian-American. If you ever watched the show, the water tribe is based on the Inuit and Yupik. If you're going to complain about cultural appropriation, at least get your cultures correct in the first place!

I feel like in general, people are a lot less friendly at cons and less willing to hang out with people that they don't know. Which is a shame, because it used to be a great way to make new friends.

They aren't the ones you hear about. In a lot of trash fandoms, sports anime etc, people are still definitely in it for the fandom. But nobody's chitchating about decent but uninteresting animu character #5 character when there's sexyfemmearmoredvikinggenderbendboobwarcraftdragon.

If it isn't the cosplay moral authority speaking on behalf of the innocent cosplayers.
If you don't like it, choose not to associate with it, it's that simple.

Cosplay as whatever you want, but understand sex appeal obviously gets a level of attention that normal shoestring cosplay won't attract. Sex sells, gets used to it.

>Are cosplayers disassociating themselves because it's no longer niche?
no, normal cosplayers still cosplay, they just don't get the 6 figure follow counts the boudoir models will get and most don't care.

Florida Supercon - Gets a lot of shit for being a Broder con, but is probably the best convention FL has behind Megacon. Not all the guests are the most relevant, but there's a large variety of them and you're bound to find at least a couple you want to see/meet. Nice dealer's room, standard panels, friendly people. They don't always abide by their own rules, which is usually good for the freedom of the congoers. Not the most exciting atmosphere though; if you want to party you'll probably have to find a group and do it off convention grounds.

I feel like comparing AB to AX isn't really a fair comparison. They're on different con tiers in my book even if you consider it "large".

I wasn't comparing them, just stating i've been to a variety of large and small cons.

I'd love to compile some sort of guide to US cons full of the stark honesty only /cgl/ can deliver.

>>9350090
better to just bring it weapons check if you are unsure, but generally yes they do

>>9350090
is open carry legal at conventions?

>>9350090
Foam weapons need to be checked.
Wood weapons need to be checked.
If you're carrying a giant prop it needs to be checked.
If you're carrying anything that remotely looks like it could hurt someone it needs to be checked.
Weapons check all the things.
This has been your daily dose of weapons check.

>see OP and suddenly reminded of almost Grinching my giftees last year because someone decapitated my mail box and nearly got my mail sent back to China

I think I sent my gifts to the wrong recipients.

To continue where the last thread left off:
>>9328392
Received their gifts!

Santa's Helper is willing to lead White Day but needs help! Send them an email if you want to pitch in and help by assigning matches!

Anyone planning to attend AM or are you still on strike?

>>9316192
I'm still waiting for AM to get actual guests. No one cares about youtubers or cosplay guests.

>>9316202
John keeps cock teasing on the AM group about something big surrounding Sailor Moon but they've yet to deliver.

Did anyone else notice that voice actress for D.Va was quietly removed?

So, has anyone tried anything new in the past few days? I've been trying out this moisturizer from Etude House called Pure Water Baobab Cream. It gets my face really tight but other than that, no bad reactions.

Looking forward to trying the oil cleansers soon.

Am I supposed to wash my face before I go to bed and apply aloe vera to it? I'm not using any makeup, just moisturizer

Shit

>>9372463
something interesting there?

most of us generally make our costumes, so, fabric/craft stores. for accessories and wigs and whatnot, it varies depending on the cosplay

as for anime items, amiami is pretty solid

>>9370822
