A little less AX dramu, a little more actual discussions.
(I have worst timing, reposting from dying thread)
wanted to know people's thoughts on this:
I was thinking of making a bunch of handmade zines (printer paper, staples) of scanned pencil, pen & brush sketches
quickly grabbed off google images, something like pic related, only anime style, arguably better skill
is printer paper + staples seen as too cheap nowadays? also I'm not sure about pricing, thinking of 5 A4 sheets folded in half (making a5) plus a thicker paper cover
another consideration is a friend I might be tabling with is selling their own zine, but it's perfect bound and professionally printed. I really just wanted something simple and fun, but I wonder if I should follow his suite instead..
>>9474609
Oh boy that sure is making me reconsider tabling there. Is it normally a profitable con to table at? London's expensive af and I'd have international travel costs as well, not sure at all if it'd be worth it like this.
>>9474804
>handmade zine
Rachel Morris tried doing that a couple years ago and it went disastrously, I think it'd be a lot easier to have them printed unless you've already had experience with binding or self printing.
Can we get a thread for sharing lolita and j-fashion artwork and illustrations? Unlike the draw thread where you draw other people's coords, we post existing artwork in this thread. I saw this beautiful series of drawings on my dashboard this morning.
The artist does not have the be Japanese (this artist is Chinese), but the drawing should depict a Japanese fashion
more songs like this/buy more brand/throw it in the bag?
these songs are so stupid but I love how stupid and goofy they are
You can also discuss general lolita themed music or even music that fits with lolita styles
I've been thinking about putting together a play list of songs that are similar to my Lolita aesthetic/that i like to listen to when dressed up. Have any of you done that? I'd like to hear if it's online somewhere!
>>9464143
i don't know what OP is but it looks terrible, here are my favourite youtube channels for music, it's mostly jpop, shibuya kei, bossa nova, bit of kpop and k-indie here and there, very cute!

MC Melod¥ Doll is basically a parody lolita rapper. Whether the songs are quality music or not is debatable, imo they're silly and tacky but I like them for what they are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3xnjksbhi8

Continued from >>9420290, it's only 150 images so have a look before you repost unless you have something specific to say about the repeat coord
Creative weird shit in the general EGL fashion family (lolita, aristocrat, ouji, otome, etc.). Especially Alice Deco/Nana Kitade type coords.
Starting with a dump of creative colorful coords as requested by anon in last thread.
First! A band from the future, featuring Alice in Wonderland character-inspired coords, courtesy Alice Deco. Included (next post) are the obligatory White Rabbit and Mad Hatter ouji

So I haven't seen anyone talking about this event on cgl and since Haenueli and lovelylor are going I thought there might be some interest.
>>9473878
But what event is this?
Here's full
Last thread autosaged. 2 months people! I spent the whole night watching a bunch of different unknown dorks on Youtube just recording their days and talking about how much fun their having.
>Hey guys, good morning. It's day 1! Let's go check out the dealers room.
>Here we are having some lunch outside.
>Panel time! I love Fullmetal!
>Pokey! Ooooooo
>Ok, let's go drop off all our swag at the hotel room
>Sit on the big nice hotel beds and watch Judge Judy on the day time TV.
I'm so excited, and I have no idea why this brought me so much joy and some much jealously.
Also, my pic. I've been going to AX for 4 years now and I've never seen the main floor THIS crowed before? Or maybe I'm just in a panel when it's happening. But eesh.

>I've been going to AX for 4 years now and I've never seen the main floor THIS crowed before?
Looks like the crowd waiting for the expo hall to open. There was a big rush last year.
>>9461225
Why rush? Not like it's any different all four days?
why do i have a sinking feeling that there will be somesort of politcally motivated fight this year?
also possible attack on convention ??????

Talk about your Comm here!
New lonk to the 420frill discord? Link didn't work last thread.
I'm kind of tired of being in my comm. Its not really the comm itself, maybe I'm just getting old. Im only 25. I work all week long and only have the weekends to hang with my kid, I feel bad/sad when I loose out on one of my days with her for a meetup since I have so little time with her and I'm not interest in momlita meetups because the other moms in my comm with kids around the same age as mine are obnoxious as fuck, weeby, and ridiculously immature even though they are in their 30s. Maybe I should just stick to having private meets with the close friends I've made in my comm who like my kid.
Not just that but we've had a big influx of new members who are between 17-21 and I am having a hard time to connect to them. They don't seem to have any concept of being an adult? I'm not sure how to describe it.
Anyone else feel disconnected to their comm? I use to be super active and I'm just not really feeling it anymore. I still wear lolita on weekends and date nights but the more time passes the more I'm content not interacting in the comm except for the occasional big meet like ILD
Sorry for the blog post I just wasn't sure where else to put this
Do other comms have some unspoken rule about liking each other's COF posts? I notice that any time a member of my comm posts to COF every other active member likes it, even if the coord is actually really bad. If you ever see a raging ita with 50+ likes they're probably in my comm. So far I'm going along with it because I'm paranoid about someone noticing my absence in the list and that causing drama.
Spring isn't complete without them! What's your favourite sailor release? Do gothic sailor coords exist?

I posted in the last thread but didn't get too many suggestions since the thread was dying, so thought i'd give it another try. I'd appreciate any suggestions!
I'll make sure to post some suggestions once more people post.
>>9454186
I think you would make a really great Tsubasa Hanekawa.
Post cosplays/characters you'd like to do, but are
afraid people won't recognize! This is basically a guilty pleasure Cosplay you'd absolutely love to do, but don't exactly have the motivation to make/wear due to it's popularity/scarcity.
>Obscure Manga
>Old Ass Anime/Manga you're not sure people will remember
>One Shot Series
>Cosplay so basic it's practically unrecognizable without a specific prop or other people from same series
Pic related I'd like to make and wear this to a con but because it's not exactly japanese, I'm a bit iffy about wearing it and people not recognizing him even though he's supposedly popular in Korea.
I'm pretty positive very few people would get this one. I never much got the idea that people really liked or were aware of Zombie Loan, despite it being a Peach-Pit series. I always really liked it though.
friendly bump

I still want to cosplay Tohru Honda, Fruits Basket was my first anime but I'm not sure anyone even remembers it.
Exactly 2 months out gulls!

Traveling across the country to have a mini vacation + Fanime. What should I expect as a first timer to this con?
If the convention is lame, what are some cool places around it that you would recommend? Thanks in advance!
>>9408471
Do you party?
If yes, you will have a grand time.
If no, you are wasting your time/money because the best thing about fanime is the party scene
