since most anime takes place in Japan it makes sense that an Asian person would cosplay an Asian character idk lol

Doesn't all cosplayers come in these flavors?

>>9433106
What breeds do black cosplayers come in?

They've been like this for a while.

On another note, I hope he does a dj set. He does shows in SF pretty often.

sacanime is honestly the worst con ive ever been to

It's closing because they picked a stupidly expensive location.

>>9432310
we've known this for a long time, are you seriously just now hearing about this? anyway, stop being so self-centered. the closing of a single shop in an expensive location doesn't say anything about the longevity of the fashion, lmao. have you even stopped to consider how many baby locations are in japan?

"stop being so self-centered"

lol really?

Welp I fucked up the thread image.
Ah well, model san is good too I guess.

Has closet child's shipping gone drastically up? My order itself was 5300 yen but my total was 9400 yen. Doesn't that seem a lot for shipping?

>>9430878
That's a lot imo. Was it heavy? Like shoes or something?

>>9429423
Damn, I was hoping this was a shironuri thread, which only ever survive around Halloween anyways. Shouldn't you post this in the makeup general instead?

>>9429426
Ah, I thought about it, but I also thought since it's such a basic topic maybe even people who don't visit the makeup gen would be interested as well, or something like that.

Also sorry to disappoint you. OTL

I want to go paler than I am for a costume, but that would require painting my face, neck, chest and arms.

I'm an NW15 in MAC face and body with neutral undertones, anything too yellow turns me orange and anything too pink turns me grey. Would something like Kyolan's TV white work, or would I turn grey?

For reference, it's a Serenity costume from Sailor Moon, and I'd like to go Irish White- something like Nicole Kidman.

>tfw no /cgl/ gf

I take no joy in anything anymore, even lolita.

Please helpu me. I can barely force myself to play video games after work.

My prop is like 99% finished, but I'll be fucked if I make myself do that last 1%.

All I wanna do is watch 30 Rock over and over and over and...

I actually got a deadbug with one of the buttons for my cosplay

>important things to pack
Sanitary products such as deodorant, toothpaste, and soap. Trash bags. Safety pins. Tape. Small sewing repair kit.

>advice for newcomers
Don't act like a snotty little butch, be chill. Don't screech like a banshee every time you see a cool cosplay. Don't glomp.

>how to deal with uncomfortable situations
Honestly that depends on what kind of situation and what the context is.

>what behaviors are expected in the venue
Just respect personal space is a generally good rule. Don't touch anyone or props without asking. Don't bug a cosplay who is clearly taking a break and sitting down or eating. Sadly, the people who need to know this the most are the ones with no social awareness whatsoever so it's almost a moot point.

>horror stories
Don't have any that are really bad but have a had a few close calls. Watch out for dudebros. They show up looking to get laid and while most are generally harmless, some are very predatory and if you aren't in a group it can get sketchy

>>9422307
>Dudebros

Actually could you explain more on this?
I'll be attending my local con alone at least one day, although know about what types to avoid I seem to attract them without expressing the want. I'm not very good at escaping.

>>9422307
>Don't glomp.
Slightly related: If you ask a cosplayer for a hug (which is pretty acceptable if the cosplayer is in a mascot-style suit or something of the sort), hug him/her/xe gently. I've had some people squeeze the life out of me and it can easily damage the costume.

Rapiers are pretty thick in cross-section. Remember, most *actual* rapiers weigh about as much as a longsword, just drawn into a longer blade to pull the balance back into the hand. They're damn sturdy swords
also
>breaking swords
fuck outta here with that anime shit

Snazzy, what are you going to put it on?

But how was the competition and the cosplayers who participated at DCC? I couldnt see it because of the overcrowd

What's the deal with Homestuck fans? I recently started reading it, but my friends tell me I better not talk with the fandom because they are an unpleasant bunch who bully other people. Is that true, and should I avoid talking to them?

>>9420359
The competitions were great actually. It was really well organised and the people backstage were really involved with the competitors and there was this girl backstage that would make sure everyone's questions were answered and that everyone had a great time. There was also this guy that was really helpful to a cosplayer that fainted a few times. team chaos theirselves were also really kind and tried their hardest, everyone even got a small bag with food and water and the backstage area was really cosy. Normally I'm not this positive about dcc related things and I didn't know who team chaos was at first but this whole competition was a great experience. There are some minor things that could've been better but for a first time this was great.

The best way to apply a decal like this would be a waterslide decal right?

Why was the last thread deleted? I didn't follow it too much, but it seemed so tame. If that one went down then this one likely will, too.

>>9412578
last thread must have been deleted for a reason, probably because this is a thread that's more about people than it is about lolita

the last thread was nice but if that's the case the mods have a point

>>9412586
Probably because a lot of people were name dropping

I'll start: I find a lot of deerstalkers vids pretty cringey. I know they're supposed to be somewhat ironic, but a lot of the more "meme" oriented videos haven't aged well, and a lot of their actors seem try hard.

I don't think that plain tights (especially black or white) look bad in coords. Busy dresses and busy tights can make a coord cluttered looking.

I think that casual clothing cosplay can look good, but 95% of the time it's executed horribly and/or you can't really tell who they're cosplaying as. Or it's out of character for the characters. The majority of the Sailor Moon girls do not seem alternative/punk whatsoever. If you want to cosplay as a character dressed like that or whatever, why not characters from Nana or Paradise Kiss, etc.?


I don't care if girls dress up as fanservice-y characters, if it makes them feel confidant and good, then that's fine.
