I'll feel like a supercunt if I say no.

Get a replica.

My period is making me too empathetic.

Why haven't they approved any panels? San Japan is sending panel approval out today and they are a month later.

No music guest announced. All signs says there won't be one.

>>9059092
They've been approving panels little by little.

I work out on the reg now, mostly for health/functional reasons.

There is a relatively big part of me that wants to get fit to pull off muscular characters. Kamina/Simon is pretty realistic and not too lofty a goal. Maybe down the line, Mikisugi from KLK just to do the strip and whisper NUDISTO BICHO to other KLK cosplayers.

>dying your hair
don't do that
get a wig
and loosing weight really isnt that crazy

Accidently got a xl instead of a large. I didnt have time to send it back because the con was the next day, so i had to cut half of the armour by the side and put velcro in it to give it a better fit. All in all it came out ok

I received both of these wigs through trades. Not really sure what I can use them for.

I have a wavy brown wig laying around, would love some simple casual/comfy sugestions

>>9043674
Maybe Makina from Macross Delta for the pink wig? Although it might be slightly too short for her.

What's the best place to get a Sailor Moon wig? That wouldn't be too expensive

>>9042183
I prefer Arda wigs but if you're on a budget I'd check ebay!

>>9042183
I think kasous wigs on test has a nice prestyled one :) also ayanamisatoru on eBay although they don't have as wide of an inventory anymore so not 100% if it's still on there, but worth giving a look!

I met a guy at a con. He was introduced to me from a good friend, and he started talking to me about anime I liked so we became friends. We talked a little bit online afterwards, and had a pretty good friendship.

A few years later, we both got out of relationships. I hadn't been feeling satisfied sexually in a while, so I finally worked up the courage to proposition him. We decided to be friends with benefits. Once we started hooking up, we became really close friends. And, as cliche as it sounds, we fell in love with each other.

We've been together for 2 years now. It's the best relationship either of us have been in. We enjoy cosplaying together and going to cons, he loves my clothing style and lolita. I feel like I could be with him forever.

>I'm stuck in my apartment with my injuries for my birthday and ask him if he wants to come over
>"I don't think my girlfriend would like that"
>over a year of chatting and after 2 months of what was definitely flirting back and forth, he dropped on me that he had been with another girl the whole time
>we have a huge fight
>heartbroken, I stopped talking to him
>I eventually tried to reconcile months later only for him to start pulling the same flirting shit again
>I ask before anything else if he was still with that girl
>"yes"

I basically told him to fuck off and have avoided him ever since. I was fortunate not to bump into him at all this year.

wasn't able to go this year because I was out of town. what was so back about it?

Tickets were expensive, no game room, and on all days the showroom or whatever closed at 6/7

It's not even that bad. Like it's not really good, but not awful
I'm calling vendetta, especially since you only posted one picture...

Not a particularly great shot but

well what's the price range you're looking at?

>>9063764
$40 - $120

>>9063766
you can always search lacemarket for a purse or accessories or something, or a wig? depending on what kind of lolita she's into. make sure you take that into consideration tho, if you get the wrong style of lolita it's not a very usable gift.. also there are some good dresses on there for cheap if you know what she likes to wear
on the fairy kei side you can buy her a bunch of accessories off etsy (some cute ones there) or join a kawaii sales page on facebook and look for stuff. storenvy is a good place to look for fairy kei stuff too.

I've been running meets for 3 years, and no, pro photos are not expected. Just make sure to include everyone, be flexible, and work with whatever characters show up, and you'll be fine. Meetup pics are more for fun than showing off.

>>9062668
You have to contact one. You should have a dedicated photographer. preferably one you've paid. Just ask what their fee is and how many people. Shooting 3-4 people is chaos enough, throw in 30 and forget it

As a photographer I don't go to gatherings anymore because it's a cluster fuck as the other poster hinted at (and they aren't worth much artistically). There will always be a random taking photos do you could try asking one of them. If you've got any friends willing to help who also have a decent camera ask them too because you can bug them for the photos

I hate any kind of "lolita " video where they aren't wearing lolita! Like the fuck is that shit? People doing un boxings or rant videos and they are wearing fucking pjs. I came here for lolita goddammit. Updating consistently is also super important and it helps to have a cute house.

Do
>high quality video (1080)
>high quality mic
>good lighting
>simple music in the bg
>good voice overs
>cuts
>neat, simple bg
>wear the clothes

Don't
>fucking music box music
>or loud, complex music
>have vids longer than ~5 mins until you get popular
>single shot the whole video
>lolita transformation - seen one, seen em all
>messy, overly crowded bg

Please note, all of the above are my personal preferences and what I've seen be successful.
I wish there were more classic and gothic lolita vloggers. Obviously, if you're not, you're not.

>>9062029
I agree with pretty much everything you said except the lolita transformations. It's nice way to show people how you get ready and you could even make it a makeup tutorial based on the coord you're wearing. I would probably avoid using the word transformation if I was to make videos though.
People like to watch make up and get ready videos so I think it's a good way to get more people interested in your channel while you're also doing other things.
