Has anybody seen an apron with a back like this in real life? The top strip is really throwing me off, and I'm not sure how to interpret it because of the simplistic style of the games and it looks so stupid as just a plain strip across.

Can anyone help my find the panties on the right?

The closest I've got was "open side panties" on ebay, but they don't have the bottom part, over the legs

(thanks to who sent me to this thread)

Reposting, since the last thread ended pretty quick after my post.

Does anyone know where the pic related Kikuchi Makoto outfit (from Idolm@ster) is from? I know I've seen that dress before somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

David Hewlett fuckin' LOVES it. He was one of the nicest guys I've ever met, period, let alone actor.

>He's also good friends with everyone he worked with on Stargate: Atlantis except Momoa. Figures.

Actors who love their jobs/acting are usually the ones who also love being around fans.

I have a feeling it would depend on their fanbase. There's always those poor people who have the worst fanbases and probably don't enjoy how their fans act or the weird shit they do.

I can imagine that's a partial reason why Moot never really went to cons, lel. But I don't know much about his reasons.

Yes, I've been meaning to share this story on here and keep forgetting!

>Bruce don't give a fuck, thinks all this fussing over him is dumb
>takes selfie with Arrow guy
>sees the MichelinMan and runs after him
>handler chase him down

I thought Bruce Campbell would be a cocky asshole but he thinks the fans at cons are the coolest people and he's there to see them and not the other way around

I am sad, larpfolks. I think someone took one of my clogs at the last educational demo we did.

I will be strong though, and give an update on my ACL/BotN kit, as funded by ya'll. I actually got someone to take photos of me in the Cock and Swallow colors and they should send them soon!

Yup. You can see the plate and springs

A myth. An urban legend. A meme.

I met my boyfriend of a year and a half at a con. I really love him but it's a little embarrassing when people ask how we met

Most the boys I've met at cons aren't dating material so be careful though.

>>8660292
The closest I got to con love was when a girl invited me into her hotel room and we made out. Since I was being beta as fuck, we talked a lot and at some point, one of her friends returned to the room and after a bit of talking, I discovered they were both in High School. After that, I made some awkward excuses then sheepishly left. One of the most shameful moments of my life.. since they also thought I was in HS.

How did she even get a hotel room? I thought you had to be at least 18 to even book a room; I remember when I went to a con when I was 15 or so and I had to hobo it up with a group of friends. But yeah, after that, I decided cons were for making friends only. I wasn't that much older than her(I just turned 19, she was either a Sophomore or Junior in HS)

Asians, not even once. You can't tell who's a 25 year old who looks 15 and who is a 15 year old who looks 25.

Don't date at cons dudes, just find true love elsewhere then bring your gf to cons. It may be rude to ask a lady her age, but you could fuck up pretty badly.

I know I've seen historical dress commissions on cosplay.com before, or at least open commissions from people who have made historical dresses. You may have some luck there.

What is the 'average' prices to be expected for undergarments and reproduction clothing and things? ex. chemise, stays etc. Because on all the sites I've seen them sold on, a chemise is like $200 and stays are $400-600.

This is sort of historical-fashion related, a little lolita-related - There was a Japanese (maybe Korean?) brand that did semi-lolita, semi-natural-kei vibe that I LOVED called Moon Berry, but I can't find anything about them online anymore? Pic related is my favorite complete outfit by them. I really dig the prairie-Anne-of-Green-Gables vibe goin on. I know it's a long shot, but anyone know this brand or what happened to them? I adore this style and would love to find and wear it more often...

>which to avoid

Onicon. How is it even still going?

Planning to go to Anime Matsuri, Probably won't do a hotel there because I live about 40ish minutes away from the convention center, haven't thought much about other cons yet. Plans are to start working on my Gundam soon. Pep files are so confusing when not numbered..

My college shuts down anything that isn't the norm, that's for sure. It's usually like that at schools with higher numbers in Greek life. Been here for three years and haven't met anyone with similar interests besides a few girls wearing cat ears with SNK backpacks.

Why don't you pick a school that's good for whatever you're trying to major in instead of a place to sperg out with other weeaboos?

>> 8651648

Any art school ever. I'm a freshman in art school currently and almost everyone I've met is into anime or at least video games like Smash and Zelda.

I got an italy towel and now I exfoliate my legs really well before shaving . it's worked wonders for irritation and ingrowns

Would you mind linking which one you bought?

How to do I get really nice eyebrows? I pluck a bit underneath, but mine never look as smooth arched as other girls. Should I be trimming them? I feel like the hairs themselves are quite long.

I've ordered the first two and am hoping their measurements are accurate(length wise), and am putting off buying the others so I don't get ali-regret if they all turn out crap. I really want to dress like a victorian children's book character this summer though.

>>8646503
links?

I love it when people post their wishlists and big orders, let's get some ITT!

What do people think about the new Cosplay comp rules for Auckland? I can see a massive drop in entries with forms being due in three weeks before. Also I don't really understand the need to have judging the day before if they're capping the number of entries allowed? I think like doing one or the other would have been enough, doing both feels like overkill.

>>8639194
It sounded like the Wellington contest was very stressful behind the scenes so they have really doubled down for Auckland.

>What u thinking about?
Reika and WCS

Bumping with this, I think they did a pretty good job on Mabel's watermelon sweater outfit. The only thing is the stripes on the sweater are a bit too thick.

>>8634927
>>8635913
Stop bumping so quickly. This is a slow board.

>>8635927
Fair enough. Question though, why is it that SU is so popular to cosplay shit from, but all the other Western cartoons barely get any attention from cosplayers? Did all the Homestucks just grow up and miss painting themselves so they switched to the newest Flavor of the Month?

Bump because this thread has a lot of potential.

General tips if you care to pass:

1. Unless you can really do hair well, get a GOOD wig. The wig shouldn't be shiny and you will look more convincing if it's natural looking.

2. Learn how to do natural makeup. Drag makeup will highlight all your masculine features.

3. Groom your eyebrows. Don't make the arch too high or too filled in.

4. Cover your stubble. (Many suggest first use a pinkish concealer to conteract against the bluish shadow, set with setting powder. Then use your skin colored foundation on top and set with powder again.)

5. Put subtle blush (not too dark!) on top of your cheekbones to look cute. Dark blush under cheekbones will make your cheekbones stand out too much.

>How did you discover lolita?
visual kei -> visual kei related websites -> doll dressup sites -> /cgl/ when looking for convention stories.

>Why do you want to wear it?
i love the look. i wanted to wear it as a teenager, but i was broke. then i butched up because i did not want to have people make assumptions about my sexuality. now i am becoming more confident, and feel like it is almost time to finally wear lolita.

>What kind of research have you already done?
all kinds. i have followed lolita for over a decade. i know maybe as much as anyone can know without ever wearing it. i am less familiar with print names or famous lolitas, due to lack of interest.

>What aspect of lolita are you most confused or worried about?
1. makeup and coording. this is something i will need feedback on, so when i am ready, i will be coming to help threads for specific advice.
2. i am still insecure. currently i am over-aware of SJW and anti-SJW stuff, and of creeper/sissy fears. i am more afraid of judgement in the lolita world than i am of judgement from outside it, which is the opposite of what i feared before. no matter what, i feel like if i wear lolita, i will be a walking target for various projections.

>What's your height and shoulder/bust/waist measurements?
height: 168cm
shoulders: 40cm across
bust: around 82cm
waist: 78-80 cm

>What is your general hygeine/beauty routine like?
korean skincare inspired. clean shaven, lazy haircut, not good at hair styling. i sometimes try primer, foundation, eyeliner, and eyeshadow.

>How do you normally dress?
business casual, goth, and i have worn ouji and aristocrat.

>What lolita substyle(s) most interest you?
gothic and guro.

>What is your planned budget for lolita?
$0, i am still building my boystyle wardrobe.

>Post your favorite lolita picture and say something about it.
i enjoy theatric, othetworldly gothic looks. i would be more at ease in an OTT gothic coord (that i could obscure my features with) than a regular one.

>>8613046
thanks for the tips.

>2. Learn how to do natural makeup. Drag makeup will highlight all your masculine features.
i guess i should be focusing on natural makeup more, even though my interest is in gothic. i will try to wear more natural looking makeup in casual settings to git gud.
