Jesus that is some disgusting make up

I like the idea with the mirror on Ren's neck but I agree that the makeup looks like garbage. Aren't those the cosplayers who also do SnK that usually get posted on the bad makeup thread?

>>8707274
Yup looks like them

Not really fussed. I went to the last one and it was pretty dull.Yes, the venue was beautiful and it had shopping and a fashion show but I would expect more from an event, especially considering all the fun things you get at other events. They'll ahve to up their game a lot imo.

>>8695151
Uh what kind of fun things? It's my first big event so I'm not sure about how others are

Ugh I meant >>8695156

When has being physically inaccurate to a character ever stopped any attention whore from cosplaying anything ever?

Ikkicon is the epitome of average, its not the worst but its not the best. You should have a decent time.

Look into San Japan and AKon. San Japan is really great to attend and AKon is just the biggest Anime con in the area.

I personally enjoy Ikkicon. It's less crowded with decent panels and a nice dealer room. There's lots of great places to eat nearby and if it's after 10pm everybody's usually drunk (sometimes earlier than that lmao) I've always enjoyed it, but it's definitely one of those cons where the people you hang out with sort of make or break it.

Really? Because I'm not sure I'll be going with anyone. I'm moving to Austin for school, and I don't know many people there. Hopefully I can get my friend to come, but I'm not sure...
Is it an easy con to meet people?

This is from a western brand but I think it can pass.

Marks and Spencers often have cute things in in every size.

As someone who makes gowns, corsets, AND armor, armor is easy as shit. It's just time consuming.

>>8710116
>230+ hours
Somehow I doubt it took a solid month of 8 hour work days to make something so mediocre. Unless this person had to spend all that extra time transforming party hats into usable materials rather than actually ponying up a few bucks for real supplies.

>>8710431
Oh your one of those cosplayer. Why spend 5 bucks on a cone shaped object when you can buy 30 dollars of supplys and materials and craft them yourself for 3 hours. It's so much better.

i love these threads for letting me do everything my faggoty little heart desires

>i was going to post this in the mail thread but i feel you guys would appreciate it more
>sweet jesus im going to be broke at the end of the month

I have no bills to pay except for gas in my car, so about 75% of my paycheck goes towards lolita. So, roughly, $200 a month on Lolita?

I impulse buy sometimes, I did it with Nameless Poem and kinda regret it.

I need to work on a taobao order so I can get some bags and shoes, since I'm pretty limited.

My wardrobe is split 50/50 between AP and indie/bodyline purchases.

I see something I like, I ask if it'll work well in my wardrobe, then go from there.

>impulse bought first Burundo a year ago
>didn't even fit
>looked like utter shit in it

How do you determine when to buy something or not?
Say you find a really good price for a dress you've had your eye on for a while. But you've already used up all of your designated hobby money, or it's only the beginning of the new month.
This keeps happening to me. I always find good deals for good pieces, but I've only got a little left in my lolita budget. I just take the extra out of my savings, but it's getting a little ridiculous.
Obviously you have to decide with how much you like it, resale value, usual price. But it's tough in the heat of the moment, because it's not guaranteed to be there tomorrow.

>>8706325
>>What's your monthly/quarterly/annual budget?

around 150 euros now I've started school again

>>How do you decide which things to buy?

I decide on price and size especially and sometimes I'm looking for items to complete coords

>>Do/did you ever buy on impulse? If so, did you regret it?

yes and yes. I've a mild shopping addiction. I don't get into debts because of it, but sometimes I do overspend with impulse buys. I try to keep it under control, but it's hard

>>Any advice to offer with regards to buying?

only buy something you really love and take your time to think about spending, even if that means you'll miss your chance of buying it. it's not the end of the world when you couldn't buy it.

About that profession group being talked about from the last thread:

Totally into that idea. As shitty as facebook is, it does give the widest reach, and easiest platform. And allows for similar people to discover the group.

Good job anon, this can help newbies who come in here.

My fav collab piece is AP x Wish Me Mell Tea time Jsk. It is pretty adorable.

my favourite collabs are probably metamorphose x macross frontier, btssb x koitsukihime and aatp x akira

i own one of the koitsukihime collab pieces, it's gorgeous and exactly what i wanted it to be

good for him

as long as it is a guy, it's alright.
I hate it when girls do it though.
