I haven't been to enough cons to awnser that, but in my opinon the most important aspect is the people. it's a social event's so the kind of people there make it.

if your really planning on it your gonna have to get a bunch of people and raise money, even if its a small event at first, i think if its very community based, and the type of people running it, are kind and very open and welcoming, it can become a great con.

>>9004736
No the people running it have to be competent at running an event. OP's picture if fro the infamous failure of Dashcon, run by Tumblr, that prides themselves on being "open, kind and welcoming" but that doesn't cover the cost for actually renting out the space and paying your guests.

>>9004691
>What makes a con unsuccessful?
Being the chair of a con and shit talking other cosplayers directly on the con's Facebook page.

I'm going to turn 20 soon and i'm so "scared"? I don't feel ready.
I know we all get old it's impossible to avoid, we all get wrinkles and all that stuff one day.
But i'm scared i won't feel "kawaii" anymore, (i'm not into supah ott pastel vomit, i used to be into that "kawaii loli aidoru" shit at 14 then moved onto "kawaii living dorru",..now i'm into lolita, and a bit more sane, i have a bit of 2010 sweet prints and a bit of old school, and "normal" cute fashion like kotakoti would wear in 2011-2012). I feel like i'm dressing "too young" and shouldn't (despite looking younger than my age)
I just want to be young forever...i'm so superficial. The only thing i do is crying since two days and thinking about throwing all my cutesy shit and "mature"
>tl;dr i'm growing up and it sucks balls

>>9000229
I know the feel, anon. I'm 25, don't feel like it at all and absolutely dread growing old. But if it's any consolation, regarding your fashion choices: Your age shouldn't get in the way of you having fun. 20 is actually a relatively average (if not below average) age for lolita so while I understand how you feel I do want to reassure you that you're definitely not too old for it.

>>9000236
Thanks anon dude. Same for you,we'll get over it eventually. Also doesn't help all of my friends are in between 2 to 4 years younger than me haha...

It is a bolero, btw.

Your money, your dress, your choice.

You bought it, if you can see yourself wearing it, do whatever. If you sell it, let the buyer know of what you've done. Beyond that, no fucks given.

what are some shops with hime gyaru/hime lolita wigs? i don't mind paying extra for a better quality wig

>>8996394
I put an ice pack on my vagina. Not even kidding.

I forgot fahrenheit exists and had a moment of shock and horror at that temperature

Reposting my question;

I want to start making something out of worbla. I thought you just made the thing out of worbla and you're done (plus sanding and painting etc. ofcourse) but now I keep seeing people using two layers of worbla with foam between, which would triple the costs.
Is this really necessary? Or only with some parts? Could someone please explain?

>>8993731
It depends on what you're making and if you're willing to line the back with something else or not.

I usually use the double method for things that you more likely or not will see the back of, like belts, and other things that "stick off" of the body.

You can just fold over the edges (think of how people who sew cut slits into fabric to make harsh shapes easier) for things like armor for the most part though. Line the inside with something black (usually) like foam, or a comfortable fabric. People double up their worbla to make the piece look "finished", but you can do the same with lining. The only downside would be it might be harder for you to attach straps, so make sure the fold over covers wherever straps would go, if you're making something that requires them.

An Anon was asking in a previous thread about waterproof body paint for pic related. I said I ordered a black "henna" marker (not actually henna, but FDA approved alcohol based body paint as an alternative to toxic coloured henna) and was waiting for it to arrive to try it.

I just got it in the mail. It works perfectly. It's a tiny bit drippy (nothing too bad, it collects slowly) and the ink does get on the inside of the cap so I recommend wearing gloves when using it and making sure it doesn't drip on anything, but it's very dark and stays on even when touched or wet. (also using a stencil would probably help)

Here it is in action:

First pic is obviously running water on it to show it's waterproof, second is after getting it wet and rubbing a towel on it enough to make my skin pink and it was still on. I'm not sure if it'll fade or bleed in heavily chlorinated water.

The black ones are currently out of stock, but the seller is really nice and if you message her she'll usually update stock or let you know when she'll have more.

I haven't tried the other colours yet (I wish there were more), but it's probably a good cheap (albeit not perfect) alternative to bodypaint for small-medium solid-shade tattoos that aren't too intricately detailed.

(sorry for the shill, but I'm hoping that Anon is still around and this might be useful to others anyway)

Reposting mine cause someone might be selling Fantastic Dolly.

http://www.lacemarket.us/author/funkbrothers/

are there other ways to put holes through domed resin pieces (as in just card/paper domed) other than a dremel? wondering if I'm going to have to invest in one straight a way

>>8970196
It depends on how thick it is. I'm assuming you mean to make a charm out of it? If its too thin you risk cracking it, If all else fails use bails.
