>See girl in lolita walking on opposite side of street
>want to go up and compliment her on her wardrobe
>can't be bothered and feel too awkward to cross the road and say something
>awkwardly stare from across the road instead

I wonder if she though i was weird for staring or knew i was secretly jealous of her outfit?

>>9262811
If it wasn't her first time out in lolita, she's probably used to the stares.

>have to briefly leave meetup to pick up medicine from nearby pharmacy before it closes
>ask if anyone needs anything from the store before i go, apologize to meetup organizer and say i will be gone just a couple minutes, say "be right back!" to everyone, etc.
>leave
>get my meds and some tissues for a girl with allergies (outdoor meetup)
>come back seven minutes later
>nobody is there

Not sure if ditched on purpose or just bad at communicating.

Former staffer here, no updates from what I here. However, Bonnie has resurfaced on her social media (instagram, at least). Not sure if any charges are being pressed against her since she's deleted the staff facebook group, and even the hoshi public group that was planned on being changed to a community group.

I'm really fucking disappointed. I hope she gets charged for ruining the convention the way she did.

Deets?

Former staffer here. There's no higher upS. There's only a higher up and that's the con chair (and possibly her significant other who probably knew about this and was benefiting from it.).

Executive staff is trying to talk with a lawyer right now but it's a really slow process. There's a lot of residual anger.

Con char has blocked almost all executive staff on social media and is dodging calls and e-mails. It seems she's also been in the process of scrubbing all traces of Hoshicon clean.

Tower of God

I'm not going to post a pic cuz I would get torn to shreds but I have definitely improved my cosplays. For my first cosplay I did something way outside of my skill range, had a floppy "spiked" wig, and wore really worn out non matching sneakers. The pictures of my fist cosplay horrify me...

I went from drooling over Milanoo and $50 ebay dresses to buying and wearing burando on the reg in the period of a few months. Still working on building up wardrobe staples but I think my taste has gotten a LOT more refined. It's encouraging!

First two costumes were a mix of:
>terrible fabric choices
>wtf is up with these seams
>unsealed body paint
>horrible prop, no sanding and shitty painting
>no makeup or posing skills whatsoever
>party city tier wig
>a-at least I've hemmed things and am not missing any parts, that's good enough, right?

Now, after about ten years of cosplaying on and off, I routinely surprise myself with how skilled I've become. My seams are nice, my props at least look clean if they aren't super impressive, I can typically eyeball things accurately, and I've gotten SO much better at styling wigs, doing my makeup, and posing. I still have progress to make, but for someone who only occasionally engages in this hobby, I've definitely improved quite a bit.

Cosplayer here, looking for (male or unisex) scent recs for semi-daily basis.
Low- to mid-end. My visual influences are mostly 1950's greasers, 80's pop (think George Michael), new wave, and some synth. I tend to go for citrus-y scents in soaps, schampoos, etc., but I also like jasmin.

My HG perfume is Hanae Mori Butterfly. I don't know anything about perfume but I just love it. I have minis of several other perfumes that were given to me as gifts but I don't like any of them as much as I love HMB. I've recently run out and I'm hoping to get more soon.

I'm a perfume noob but I want to get into it. Any suggestions on how to start learning and finding scents that I'd like? Currently I'm using some body fantasies bodyspray (sweet peony fantasy) I got in Japan and I love it but I'd like an actual perfume.

Oh jesus I really want >>9207786
The hair is giving me Creamy Mami vibes and I love it

Someone last thread mentioned how they miss CCK but not so much the trend of people hauling everything from the shop.
I agree. I found the artist when I was a few years younger and remember telling myself I'd grab something, but never managed to before they sold out. Then I saw YT videos with chicks showing off like a million CCK items and it's like.
Ah. There you are.

>>9207926
Me too! I know anon didn't enjoy the art style so much but honestly I kind of find it refreshing
I have a thing for simple-cute art styles, I like the curvy lines and expression

Anything high collar. They look like utter shit on me.

lolita

Baby, IW, and this local vintage store that sells a bunch of 60's blouses from Japan

If I exclude OPs that can't be worn with blouses, it's almost 1:1

I usually go for wovens made from lightweight fabrics, I love the sheer chiffon trend so much

Old school blouses, especially the ones with the really gathered sleeves, do not look good on me

will dump some creepy prints

"creepy" or "disturbing" is also a personal feeling, so what kind of print disturbs you or makes you want to lock your wardrobe at night?

Go to Anime California, it is one of my favorite conventions.

I've only ever been to Animethon and Otafest in Alberta, but Otafest is superior.

Kotoricon is my favorite small anime con in nj right now. It has a lot of shit for such a small venue. Animenext at atlantic city is a big contender and while it was fun all ive exprienced was the fun rave, the HUGE gameroom and the turn based larp which honestly wasnt my thing, more of a danger room guy.
