Please try to ignore/do not respond to obvious bait.
Love ya, Cherry
>>9181751
I'm pretty sure nobody does that as long as it doesn't look like bait.
>>9181635
Ugh, the coord I did after this is much better. But I must say I like when I tuck in my shirt even though I saw someone recently say not to do that?
Anyway, my first coord is garbage. I fully see that.
Also concrit is welcome and I know my hair is not great in this.
>>9181786
I don't have any concrit, but this is definitely an improvement.
>>9181786
This is a lot of improvement! I like it. My only concrit is maybe a hair accessory or necklace? But that's a nitpick
Where'd you get your petti?
>>9181786
Your hilarious defending of it in previous threads is almost painful. You got super butthurt people didn't like it.
>>9181795
Link to archive? I don't feel like looking, but you could be right.
>>9181786
It's only ugly to tuck your shirt in when your skirt has a 100% elastic waist. It looks sloppy.
>>9181796
>>8966993
mods deleted a lot of the shitposting about it in the thread but it happened. She got told it was too cheap and Halloween-Y and she bitched about it.
>>9181802
Nobody liked it because it was cheap and trashy. Stop being passive aggressive.
>>9181801
So stuff that is deleted here is still in the archive.
I bitched because the stuff I bought was recommended here in a taobao thread. Like yes it's cheap but an anon recommend it... so some people here aren't worth listening to because of too many contradictions.
>>9181808
>This mad
Nice to see you haven't changed and you're still super defensive and bitchy.
>>9181786
I would change the shoes to flatforms or flat shoes, and maybe consider a hair accessory. Otherwise it's much better
>>9181799
>It's only ugly to tuck your shirt in when your skirt has a 100% elastic waist.
Unless it's done in a way that makes the elastic waist invisible, pic related.
>>9181823
I wouldn't even really call that tucked in. I mean technically it is but I had to figure out what you were talking about for a sec.
Menhera threads will ever be successful if:
1. People stop replying to obvious bait.
2. If people can take concrit
3. If concrit is overly filled with name calling or insults
4. If Anon starts bitching about being called out on their insults.
Basically there's gotta be a balance between actual concrit and anons being able to take the concrit with out other Anons getting salty about not being able to call someone fat/ugly without Anons getting pissed.
>>9181830
*will never
>>9181830
Ugh I can't English today.
>>9181838
I was about to say, this sounds like a retarded 6th grader wrote it.
>>9181816
>your
>>9181842
Do you not know what ESL is?
>>9181808
So because it was recommended you bought it? Did you not have your own eyes to see how cheap they were
>>9181871
Everything on taobao is cheap, this is pretty common knowledge.
>all this fucking shit posting and no content
>>9181930
It's the menhera thread, what do you expect?
>>9181936
Exactly my point.
>>9181930
Isn't this old school chan from the CoF threads?
>>9181936
>attracks
and people who can't into English
>>9181933
>Stop winning then
U wot mate
>>9181948
Don't reply to bait good lord...
>>9181957
>>9181939
I think so. I actually like her style
I highly recommend not replying to comments lacking content
>>9181993
>>9181964
Would be so much better with a little eyeliner
>>9182003
>>9182005
>>9182013
>>9182016
>>9182020
Seems like Sex Pot wants to try *subtle* ero.
>>9181786
I liked your last outfit. I'll admit I didn't like the hair clips, I loved the red shorts though. (It's still hot out!) It wasn't fancy, but it looked nice to chill in.
You should paint your nails red with the new outfit, it would look chic.
>>9182044
Thank you! I have some glittery red nail polish but I need a red skirt to go with it I think, for a red option. Those shorts were the only red thing I had but I don't think I look good in shorts really.
>>9182068
Don't forget to ignore bait everyone!
>>9182084
>>9182084
Why did someone put a naked deformed midget on socks?
Not sure why menhera blogs are flipping out over the syringe lip gloss at spirit halloween of all places. It's not exactly something you could incorporate into a coord... unless you make a necklace out of it.
No review of how good the lip gloss itself is though I can't imagine something of true quality coming out of a seasonal halloween shop...
>>9182084
Don't forget to report posts lacking content too!!
>>9182086
>>9182090
>report posts lacking content
so we can't discuss menhera if we don't have an image? what the fuck is your problem?
>>9182090
>>9182094
That would count as content.
>>9182089
This is my post, I was hoping for discussion but it's being called bait instead.
You can go ahead and try to find a better discussion topic.
>>9182099
>>9182101
>>9182102
Pikarin is menhera, right?
>>9182106
>>9182106
Didn't she do a really racist video for kawaii pateen? even if she is we shouldn't support her.
>>9182106
I wanna say yeah but I can find very little on her exhibiting anything menhera related.. but seems to wear goth a lot.
>>9182107
>>9182111
To be fair, the only black thing about miss minaj anymore is her big fake butt.
She's all light skinned now like other black female artists who gain any amount of fame.
>>9182117
Yes but this is a non black person darkening their skin to look like a black person. That's black face. If a white person did this everyone would lose their shit.
>>9182111
>Nikki Minaj makeup
Why am I laughing so hard.
>>9182114
She calls herself a demon princess, and did a collab with the menhera-chan artist.
>>9182118
She just looks like ganguro tho.
This has been an issue for years that no one cares about outside of people who participate recreational outrage groups.
>>9182123
Yeah she looks ganguro but she was applying it to look like a black person. Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended I just think it's messed up she's literally doing black face and it's okay because she's Japanese. Weebs think Japan isn't racist because they idolize it, but Japan is one of the most xenophobic places on earth.
>>9182089
I just bought this stuff, pretty excited. Need to get liners for the mostly white socks. The black and red socks I got from Walmart the other day for 5$... they are knitty and warm.
I saw that lip gloss syringe. I myself was thinking of buying this set:
https://www.spirithalloween.com/product/accessories/shop-by-character/doctors-nurses/nurse-jewelry-set/pc/1921/c/1938/sc/1953/62263.uts?thumbnailIndex=13
Guys you're derailing. Racial talk is the quickest way to get a thread deleted.
>>9182139
But nobody is overreacting. Can you stop policing actual discussion that's relevant to a menhera creator?
>>9182089
I guess it's how when that lolita like dress popped up in hot topic girls flipped their shit.
To see a western brand doing anything remotely relevant to one's niche jfashion is amazing.
>>9182141
I'm not, I'm just worried because you know what the mods are like about race discussion.
>>9182143
Exactly, I'm amazed that >>9182138 found those socks in Walmart, so I kinda get them.
>>9182145
Not one post has been remotely b8 like and you're acting like we can't have any civilized discussion you don't approve of. Someone made an accusation, provided proof, and calmly discussed it with another person. You don't have the right to stop us from doing that.
>>9182106
>>9182114
>>9182119
A musician doesn't need to dress Menhera to make suitable music anyways, just look at all the Yamikawaii idol groups.
Either way, she's a huge Menhera-chan fan and there was a huge shitstorm when she got the wristcut bracelet that was banned shortly after its release (Conpeitou released it before getting Ezaki's approval).
http://matome.naver.jp/odai/2143535043497189201.
>>9182160
Either way, I'm gonna post some of her Menhera outfits.
>>9182168
>>9182172
>>9182160
That bracelet is cool. I bet something like that could be done with resin?
>>9182174
50% is with the same sweater so I think I'll stop.
>>9182157
On a more interesting notion then Halloween socks, I showed my landlord the shirt and he loved it. He told me it reminded him of an old American skateboard company he loved called Hook-Ups.
I looked it up, apparently they do lots of ero and like blood and nurses.
>>9182176
So far I've only seen that kind of stuff made from silicone and vinyl at horror brands (pic related is by VonErickson).
>>9182181
Your landlord sounds way cooler than mine, damn.
Also that brand looks cool and he has a pretty interesting view as I kind of think a lot of this stuff looks like skater gear.
>>9182187
I've seen those but never got one. The one from the link looks like a clear slap bracelet with blood and scars in the middle-- a lot different from what you posted. It actually gives the effect of having cuts on your wrist where as those just look like they could be any kind of red drippy stuff.
Got this shirt at a con the other day.
Its pretty menhera-able right?
>>9182259
It leans more towards gurokawa
>>9182266
You're right, I wish I hadn't posted so fast.
>>9182277
It is the menhera/gurokawa thread...
>>9182278
where are those tights from? reverse image search just brings up her..
>>9182368
>using reverse image search on this expecting to come up with the tights
k
>>9181939
so i guess her hair is such a rat's nest she can't do it any other way..
>>9181939
I really like this girls hair and make up style. I think poofy buns are so cute. I really liked when they were popular in OTT sweet, jealous she can use her real hair for them!
>>9181786
Good outfit, but fuck your hair. Seriously.
>>9182181
That's a direct rip-off of more than one Junko Mizuno piece.
On one hand, I kinda appreciate the homage coming from a westerner and the fact that they tried, but on the other, how fucking lame.
>>9182505
Haha, I'm the opposite. I love her style but I hate her hair and often her makeup. She'd be so much cuter if she wore a wig imo
>>9182181
Whoa I never thought I'd find someone who had even heard of that company. I bought a knockoff shirt of theirs in 2005/06 of an anime girl Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange. I wanted to buy more merch from the original company but alas, I guess they might not exist anymore? Will post pictures when I come across it.
Otherwise. From what I remember they were just parodies of famous films with an anime girl in lead. Kinda generic desu.
>>9181786
It's cute, but red sneakers and low twin tails would have made the look cuter.
>>9181939
This girl just 'gets' it, she never looks like someone trying out jfash to me, it just looks like it comes naturally to her. All of her outfits look like they could have come fresh of the Harajuku streets.
>>9181939
I don't like the way she paired pink with black/white, but I usually love her coords and her hair is cute.
I'm putting together my first coord and I'm a little bummed that cherry cheesy doesn't have any tights/socks really in black/red/white colorways but whatever.
what I"m trying to ask is wheres your favorite place to get your thigh highs for darker menhera looks?
>>9181987
where2cop
>>9182673
what are you talking about? she makes alot of blackxredxwhite color ways for a good bit of her socks and stockings. You must be a newfag huh?
>>9182691
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/funky-fruit/item/pm-021pt/
>>9182714
Then maybe buy them on time next time? She keeps preorders open for forever, why couldn't you get some??
>>9182716
I'm just getting into menhera and wasn't around for her last preorders? I'm actually preordering some of her other items. Sorry for getting your bloomers into a twist.
>>9182719
So you ARE new. I wasn't even the person who first responded to you, just confused why you keep whining so much.
>>9182720
Not really new. Just now actually dressing in it. I just wanted to know where other gulls like to get their thigh highs?
>>9182726
Then why wouldn't you lurk the threads to see? we often post links to stuff like that. First you were just getting into menhera and now you changed it to you're starting to dress in it but you've been in it.
All of your posts say you're brand new and don't know anything.
>>9182728
>we often post things like that
Yeah when 90% of the thread isn't trolling.
>ur new meme
Gross.
Can you guys recommend me some cute menhera/menhera-esque people on instagram? I'm currently only following kuua_oyasumi and would like to follow some more people
>>9182773
I found stuff in the menhera tag on instagram
>>9182773
Maybe look for the IG's of brand models? A lot seem to have those these days, looking in https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/%E7%97%85%E3%81%BF%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8F%E3%81%84%E3%81%84/ helps too.
>>9182745
Sorry you got called out on being new.
>>9182538
The company was popular back in the mid-90's. Nah. They don't really produce anything anymore.
>>9182716
Because some of us don't have credit cards and can't tell the electric company, "I'm 25 short on my bill because I bought new socks..."
>>9182831
>Not having savings
Well you don't deserve to be splurging on fashion if you can't even manage to have a savings account you can pull a random $25 from.
>>9182838
Nope, some don't have savings. Just bills.
>>9182843
Right so you don't deserve to be splurging on fashion if you're that irresponsible with your money. In fact splurging on stuff is probably what got you into the situation of no savings.
>>9182844
>you don't deserve to be splurging on fashion
Are you their mom? People can be irresponsible if they want.
I do it all the time and I'm fine.
>>9182858
That's fine but you can't honestly say you deserve to bitch about not being able to afford things when you can't save. It's really simple, if you want to be able to buy things right away you save money for such an occasion. Show some self control and you won't have to whine about not being able to afford things you want.
>>9182673
I was very happy to get a pair before they sold out.
Listen Flavor still has some socks in stock on otakumode. They have black/red/white... the playing card socks and the medicine socks. They are like... 35-40 dollars though, but they are black and red.
I am curious when she'll get new socks in stock and if she's planning on some new designs. I know the shibari tights will be back in stock soon, don't know about socks.
>>9182871
I never interpreted what they commented as bitching. It is true that Cherry Cheezy offers more designs in pastel then she does black/red/white. It is also true that all the black/red/white is sold out and anon apparently needs some socks...
And there are good reasons people may not buy clothes on a instant whim.
>>9182714
Okai...damn listen i was only saying she did have those color ways, you didn't have to come off defensive and bitch at other people thinking they were me. And i didn't know you had money shit or had just started to dress the fashion. That is though no reason to get snarky.
Also i wasn't saying newfag as in a way to offend you i was asking if you were new to the threads/fashion. That was all. Not everyone is looking to offend you darling.
JFC it's like everyone is fucking "triggered" and so easily taken offense.
>>9182889
You asked why someone might not sign up for a pre order...
And a true savings account shouldn't be to buy fashion. A proper savings account is for emergencies: medical expenses, fixing a car, and school among other things.
>>9182892
Most adults I know have savings for actual emergencies as well as savings for something like a hobby, traveling, etc. I asked that specific person, not for a general poll on why people can't buy it. Someone got their panties in a bunch and decided to whine about how they can't save money so I told them it's their own fault. It's simple.
>>9182896
Nobody is getting their panties in bunches.
You for some reason took it as somebody whining about not saving money. You are whining about them not saving money.
>>9182898
But they literally were complaining they didn't have enough money and I shouldn't expect them to. They even said "not everyone has a credit card" like that's the only way someone can have spending money.
>>9182904
You misinterpreted that statement.
>>9182916
How do you know? Was that you? Because if so firstly why are you replying to a question not asked to you, and secondly why do you think anyone who has disposable income must use a credit card to get it?
>>9182920
Why are we discussing finances when this thread is about menhera.
Someone can't afford something? Oh well, move on to the next topic guys.
Wish I could post content to help but I'm on hold at work so I don't have time.
>>9182928
Ask the first idiot who felt the need to chime in about how they were triggered I expect adults to have savings.
>>9182920
Yes, that was me.
Your question was harsh, especially if the girl had turned out not to have money at the time the preorders were going on.
I know many who use credit cards to afford such things when they cannot wait on a payday. I don't agree with credit cards personally, but I know many enjoy having a credit card to make such purchases if they do not have cash saved.
I wasn't trying to give you the idea I think disposable income must come from a credit card. That was unintentional.
>>9182940
The original girl said nothing about not having money, just that she was only now starting to dress in menhera. You're an idiot too.
>>9182943
Apparently everyone is an idiot in these threads.
What if her answer had been otherwise? Would you have lambasted her?
>>9182948
If she expected pity for not being able to handle her finances yes.
>I can't be an adult and save so you have to feel bad I can't buy my fashion
>>9182957
Well... please don't assume the poor ask for pity.
I guess a few people expect it, but they are bad apples.
>>9182970
I once again refer you to the post that whined that not everyone can afford $25
>>9182368
Reverse image search would bring up the source as well since she gave an outfit run down on her blog.
http://www.dobusuchan.com/shop-c1j7v
>>9183018
Question, why do you do these dumps so quickly? You should space them out otherwise you burn the thread out and have less content to use in another thread to combat shitposting.
>>9181939
Yep!
Personally, I think she's kinda.. Unattractive? Not ugly, but not super pretty.
But it kinda just makes it better, because she makes up for it times 100 with her outfits, and she isn't "relying" on her looks.
I alos love her poofy buns, and I like the fact that she wears her hair like that with so many of her outfits, like it's her trademark thing
Sage for OT rant, I just really like her and think she deserves more attention desu
Would it be okay if I post my first menhera coord? I know alot of it is really not great and I know atleast some the areas I can improve but I'd like other peoples opinions
>>9183142
Go for it anon.
>>9181808
No one here is worth listening to because we're all anons. You don't know if I've ever worn menhera, maybe I'm just someone with a pathetic life who likes to pretend I know what I'm talking about. You have to develop your own sense of what's good and what isn't.
Tried in the BST already: does anyone have some of Cherry's clothes that aren't being sold anymore? Really regret not buying some of them when I first got into the style.
>>9182020
Is this anemia o whatever her name is
>>9181993
This is terrible
>>9183239
This is so fucking bad
stop
>>9183239
Ditch the sweater.
Grow out your hair.
Your coord will instantly be a lot better
>>9183239
Anon this isn't menhera. I encourage you to look at more coord photos, get some real pieces (shopping services are your best friend) and try again
>>9183259
thank you for the actual concrit I can't grow out my hair it become way to time consuming to take care of as it is the most uncooperative hair ever but I was thinking a natural style wig cut into the "menhera cut" maybe and I see where you're coming from on the sweater
>>9183266
maybe try and find a looser top if you want a more menhera silhouette? Also maybe purple socks? A wig would help a lot too.
The thing about the sweater is that it's too western. cute for normie wear, not menhera
>>9183239
I'm sorry, but your hair is hideous. Also that outfit is so frumpy. Heathered colors like the purple of your shirt and sweater are not menhera-y. A T-shirt that can't make up its mind on whether its fitted or loose only makes you look unkempt. Decide on a color scheme. You are all over the place. If you keep the socks and shoes, go with the white/pink/black.
You don't even have to have long hair, just jesus christ you look like a tumblrina in the worst way. Here is an example pic of hair that would work.
>>9183260
I've looked through the old threads on archive but there aren't a lot of coord pics there I tried tumblr and instagram and found a lot of shit and not much good where else might be a good place to look for coord photos?
>>9183269
not that anon but thank you this is the pic i think im taking when i get my next hair cut. is there a specific name for this?
>>9183276
it's ok mixing the colors if they're the same hue but i feel like dark purple heather then the pink cuffs and then light pink on the socks are too many shades. good start though. i like the skirt!
For example pic related is a much more sort of cohesive color scheme
>>9183291
the pink socks were actually the same colour as the cuffs they just got really washed out in the pics but i think see what you mean the pink and purple should be about the same saturation right?
>>9183239
Saved for shitposting bad coords in future threads. Thanks for the content!
>>9183302
yes thats exactly what i mean!
>>9183302
Yes. And not clashing textures like the heathering.
>>9183307
Ok thank you for explaining that I admit my background is punk so clashing textures and varying colour saturation was kind of part of that.
>>9183234
Yeah, the one that even tags her rave outfits as Menhera.
>>9183273
Not the same anon but it's a asymmetrical bob.
>>9183186
Prove it.
>>9183354
thank you anon!
>>9183239
This is a man with those hip pads to make it look like he has curves.
>>9182278
How does she make it look so thin/tapered in the front? It doesn't look like it's tucked in or anything.
>>9182970
I have the hoodie version of this top that i'm considering getting rid of. It has the design on the back. I've worn it a few times, but you really can't tell. Anyone interested?
>>9183725
looks like she changed it in between photos honestly.
>>9183797
I know it's the same sweater because I have it too. But I guess she might have just pinned it back to take the frontal picture then undid it for the back.
>>9183835
That's what I meant. I didn't say she changed out of it.
>>9182111
Wait.... Appearing tanned by using darker makeup is waisist.... But Gyaru styles with heavy glam tans, ymanba and kuronuri is ok. I call bait. I can't honestly believe /cgl/ would curr about such bs. "rascist", I don't think that word means what you think it means...
Seriously disappointed right now.
>>9183187
Fucking hell, you really do bring you own level of salt to 4chan. Stop posting if you have nothing to contribute except diatribe.
>note: you might not know this, but people on here are pretty fucking adept at spotting newfags and swiftly ignoring them. You might have gathered this if you spent some time lurking.
>>9183858
Oh, okay. I completely misunderstood you. Thanks, anon.
>>9183868
Anon, she isn't doing gyaru makeup. She's doing a tutorial on how to look like a black person.
>>9182111
I don't think it's racist because she's not american, she obviously didn't mean for it to be blackface. Not the whole world knows what kind of things are racist in america. But this video made me dislike her anyway because she's doing a fake voice like she's in a kids cartoon, and the make-up looks really bad.
>>9183998
>blackface is only racist when Americans do it
Troll confirmed.
>>9183985
The tutorial is not about how to look black...
>>9183998
>because she's doing a fake voice like she's in a kids cartoon, and the make-up looks really bad.
You are new to Pateen, aren't you? Because that's 90% of the videos no matter who is doing the tutorial because the target audience is teenies.
>>9184020
It is a non black person doing a tutorial on Nicki Minaj(a black person) in which they significantly darken their skin to look like her.
>>9184010
I didn't say that, people outside America usually don't know what blackface is. That's not part of our history and only some young people around me know about it because of the tumblr posts every year around halloween. She's just doing a make-up tutorial to copy the look of a popular artist, she's not trying to look like a black person
>>9184028
>she's not trying to look like a black person
>literally darkens her skin significantly to look like an actual black person
Yeah, troll.
>>9183871
Right?
I'd wager 90% of anons in these threads don't wear menhera. And a good chunk of those same anons don't wear anything related to the fashion side of this board.
>>9183985
>a black person
>nikki minaj
Why nikki go all light skin tho. Answer that miss "ugggh but it's racist"
Okay, it's fucking racist. So what.
>>9184037
>okay it's racist
>so what
You serious?
>>9184033
Did you not read the rest of the comment? Is it so hard for you to comprehend non-americans don't know every single detail of your racist history? Besides if she was trying to make herself look like a black person she would have made her skin a lot darker.
>>9183728
any pictures of it?

She was trying to look like nicki, who has light skin for a black person(but it still a black person). I get you're a massive weeb and nothing any Japanese person does can be considered racist to you, but here in the real world people acknowledge Japan as one of the most racist countries. They have ads using white peoples noses as something comical, gaijin are treated like a circus freak everywhere but Tokyo, and you need to accept that's real life.
>>9184047
I'm half indonesian I know they can be racist af. I'm saying people are ignorant about blackface and there wasn't racist intend. She should be criticised and learn from her mistakes but it's not the same as a white American doing blackface.
>>9184050
I hope you realize you sound racist too, saying its okay for one person to do blackface more than it is another person to do it just because of their race.
>>9184040
>what is sarcasm
>>9184040
Yeah cause this thread is supposed to be about menhera, not some racial crusade.
>>9184052
This is either bait or you are retarded
>>9184066
Then why am I getting constant responses defending Pikarins blatant racism?
>>9184062
>trying to convey sarcasm about racism over text on a website that is notorious for racism or using racist statements as b8.
Endless summer.
>>9184044
Yeah, I won't be home until late tonight so I will try and get some up as soon as possible tomorrow.
>>9184073
>implying sarcasm was something rare on /cgl/
You shouldn't be the one to talk about summer.
>>9184276
It's not rare but when you try and apply it to something like racism on 4chan of all places you're setting yourself up to fail. Use some common sense ffs
We're talking about a place in which you could wear a nazi SS uniform to a fetish ball and likely get away with it.
It is shitty, yes. Unfortunately, if there is any country in the world a model would make a video like that... I'd expect it to be Japan.
One of the reasons I'd never want to live there.
>>9184344
Yes and yet people are still defending her and saying it's not racist.
>HINT: if it's from Japan and has to do with anything other than Japanese people it's probably racist
>>9184344
>We're talking about a place in which you could wear a nazi SS uniform to a fetish ball and likely get away with it.
You can do that even in Germany tho as long as it doesn't have the 卐 anywhere, best example for that is the german band Nachtmahr.
>all dat people not knowing that Kawaii Pateen's management decides the video content, not the models
>>9184413
In Japan, you can wear the 卐 symbol.
>>9184473
She still agreed to a racist video.
>>9184073
Yet here you are bitching about racism on a site that is KNOWN for racism.
Congrats on derailing the thread.
>>9184476
You can do that in most countries actually, more so the US, hence the KKK not being illegal because muh freedom of speech.
>>9184484
Newsflash but famous people do awful things all the time and calling them out and hating them for it does nothing.
>>9184484
>implying models have a say in jobs that were given to them by their management
>>9184504
it's a buddhist/hindu symbol.
>>9184513
>Good models do.
Only if they want to get fired by their agency.
>>9184562
Do you just have no idea of the different levels of models and think it's all one thing...?
>>9184513
>murder is on the same level as racism
Strawman as fuck.
Also racism isn't illegal like murder. You're being extremely over reactionary.
>>9184586
>racism isn't illegal
It is some places.
>>9184593
Okay well obviously not in japan or murrica. Please talk about menhera as this isn't your fucking blog.
>>9184579
Pikarin is just one of hundreds of idols, it's not hard for her agency to simply replace her if she doesn't want to do some job.
>>9184605
If she were truly pretty she wouldn't have this problem
>>9184028
but there still is black face for comedic purposes outside of north america, just like it is used for comedic purposes in the western world.
and it's still racism, because theyre basically appropriating and making fun of black skin
plus there is a black population in asia, mind you, and im 100% sure they get affected by this stuff
>>9184607
Does racism somehow have something to do with mental illness in fashion? No, it does not. Two separate topics.
>>9184616
Not the same anon but there are motifs related to Japan's national socialism (pic related) and other cultural stuff in Menhera tho as they cause suffering.
>>9184621
Fair enough. Just keep it fashion related -- other anon is clearly on a crusade.
>>9182095
Where do I get those socks?
>>9184809
pretty sure they're from cherrycheezy
>>9185116
I'm breaking down and using a shipping service. I am thinking of using White Rabbit Express. They have higher fees, but seem to offer reliable service. If anyone has other suggestions for a good shipping service, please let me know.
Otherwise I'll post the items in a couple weeks.
>>9185719
I want more western looking art for this stuff.
>>9181646
Do they just carry the lollipop around and never eat it?
>>9185891
You mean more semi-realistic, this kind of art style is quite common for manga targeting adults which Enyakora does.
>>9185882
I use fromjapan a lot and mostly use them to get menhera goods (someone that works there is probably wondering why ive bought so many thigh highs)
I like their service, I find it easy to use and they'll bid on stuff or buy from places like mecari too
>>9186258
Ah, yes. I've mostly seen japanese guro type art, well before I found out about this fashion.
>>9186368
Seconding Fromjapan. They're super reliable and their English is good. They've even emailed me about buying items that are damaged just to check if I still wanted to order it.
Can we get an official "menhera" shop list? Or I'll make one up if no one else does so where's everyone's favorite places to buy from?
>>9186598
"Official" menhera shop list I mean
>>9186452
>>9186598
Something like this would be really helpful. I've only been getting into the style recently and all I really know about is CherryCheezy and Listen Flavor
I'm looking to start selling jewelry soon, and members themed stuff is just really me, any feedback design wise? (They're both very rough, especially the necklace bow since that's not sealed or done using the correct paint markers)
>>9186745
Menhera* even, autocorrect doing its thing there
>>9182030
And now as hoodie too.
>>9186991
Like half those shops dont have anything in stock or are closed though...
>>9182128
I'm not defending it, but Japan doesn't have the same cultural history with blackface or blacks in general. I'd say their concept of race itself is different, the US situation with race is somewhat unique. There are so few black people in Japan that if you lived there you'd only see them in photos or see an odd tourist.
What I mean is while to us blackface is "oh my god horribly offensive and racist", it's unlikely a Japanese person would even have the context to see it that way, I doubt she or most Japanese people see it as anything other than harmless dress-up. The historical discrimination against blacks is just something that happened in faraway countries to them and they have no real reason to care about it.
Again, I'm not saying I think it's completely okay, but Westerners tend to project their racial issues and concepts about race onto countries that it doesn't really fit.
>>9186993
You are obviously blind then because the only closed one is Lolita Syndrome and that's because its releases are soldout within minutes.
I'm thinking about doing a menhera nurse outfit around Halloween and I wasn't sure which shoes and nurse dress to pick. Which do think would look better?
>>9187095
The first ones look better heel-wise.
>>9187103
Do you think pairing the first heels with the second dress would make a nicer outfit?
>>9187109
I think first heels with first dress as the reds look closer. second dress is all black so the darker red heels go with it more.
where are the second red heels from btw?
I'd really love to incorporate some dark woods circus stuff into a coord but have no idea how to do so. any suggestions?
>>9187223
Looking at it more, I see what you mean. I just want to make sure things don't come out tacky. Thank you for the help, I appreciate it.
As for the shoes, Bodyline, but you can find them on Cosmates as well.
>>9187095
I agree on using the first shoes, but I personally like the 2nd dress better. 1st just looks tacky. Reds look close enough and since the otks have a completely different red I doubt the shoes/tiny cross would be an issue.
>>9187259
Hm, maybe I should get both dresses and see how they look worn with everything else.
Idol has some minor faulty clothes on sale right now.
http://idol.theshop.jp/
>>9186745
I like the designs, but I'm not sure how well the transparent bow would work, since its, well, transparent.. But it looks very clean and neat!
>>9186745
I think the necklace would be better in if not a solid colour a more opaque colour and The eyepatch look like a good idea but no the best execution the embroidery thread looks glued down and the eyepatch is a little too plain maybe a small ruffle around the edge
>>9187563
I'm trying to work on seeing if I can get different types of acrylic cut to work around that but I'm worried the colour wont come through and drawing on the top layer leaves it more open to the elements and looks lumpy so I'm also thinking of adding an edge to it so you can see its a bow
>>9187563
Like I said, they were test pieces, so there's marker behind the embroidery where I couldn't be bothered to find chalk or use a thin line to go over exact , I like the ruffle idea, I was worried about it looking clunky, but I shall consider that
>>9187095
second dress 100% the breast bit on the first one is far too maidy, I prefer the heel on the first shoe
Found this cute-ish eroguro shirt on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Sweet-Lolita-Manga-Printing-Punk-Blouse-Harajuku-Chiffon-Tops-C12-/222251568494?rmvSB=true
I like these socks/tights. Not sure if this could be posted here... But it seems to be Lolita with menhera motifs.
Last one.
>>9187752
This theme has been around in lolita for ages
Thought this was cute. 2 dollars for charm.

>But it seems to be Lolita with menhera motifs
.. Guro lolita? Because that's probably older than menhera
Cherrycheezy put up new preorders and put some old thigh highs up on sale it looks like
>>9187798
ah! thank you for the heads up!!! I'm really into those stiched up tights
I really want this.
>>9187861
Can you stop already?
>>9187811
>yamikawaii
That seems to be associated with this style.
>>9187825
I think those are thigh highs actually. I grabbed the bruises and bandaids thigh highs that went on sale since I missed those preorders.
>>9187861
this meme is killing me
Lolita Syndrome announced they will have a -20% sale 18-25th of this month.
