There was a Musashi cosplayer that I saw at Katsucon this year that I wanted to take a picture of. But I missed my opportunity to do so, and now months later it still bothers me that I didn't get that pic of her.

Sometimes I'm just too lazy to post them anywhere, to be honest. For me taking photos is a way of letting cosplayers know I like their cosplay.

>>9597122
I don't know, I just got worried since I had no idea how to pose and got a few chuckles out of people when they were taking them
My worst fear is that I end up in the bad cosplay threads or in some vendetta post on facebook

At this point, I've been reaching out to normie coworkers to at least have someone to spend time with, but I have to tone down all my coords. I have no problems dressing cute and going out alone in public, but I get lonely. And if my coord doesn't look complete enough with wig and makeup I get discouraged and stay home since I have no obligations to meet anyone.

Would it be weird or entitled to message the organizer to ask why I wasn't invited? She actually told me she was planning this meet months ago and asked me for my input, so I was looking forward to it for a long time. I've only ever had pleasant interactions with her and I can't think of anything I might have done to put her off inviting me. I always pay on time, have never flaked, am quiet and polite and I don't think I'm horrifically ita...
Or should I just let it go? I really want to make more friends in my comm but stuff like this makes me wonder if I'm unwanted and should just stop trying.

>>9597897
Ha! Called it!

>>9597762
Tfw I was the guy venting in the feels thread and got called a feminist bitch

>>9597154
If you're overwhelmed then think about her job, hobbies, and interests, and get her something practical based on those!

>>9597969
Personally I would deal with it in one of two ways,
1: I would ask politely, this hurt your feelings and if there is something you have done in the past to upset them it would be good to know what it was so you can either apologise or move on.

2: Plan an amazing meet, rent a nice venue on your own dime, get catering, decorations, and tell everyone about it. But when the day comes for people to arrive you have either a friend or someone hired to stand at the front with a list of names. If their name isn't on the list they don't get in and "oh sorry guys I guess I forgot to tell you that this meet is private," then you sit within view of them eating delicious finger foods and sipping tea.

You will not that one of these options is a lot more mature than the other one, but I think both are equally good.

>>9597969
If they asked for your input, I imagine they meant to invite you and goofed somehow and are now too embarrassed to admit it.
I would message them, and see if it's anything you did (if so it gives you a chance to apologise) and if not, it gives them a chance to say sorry for messing up without having to do so publicly.

Ouch, I feel bad for you. Personally, I would bring it up with her alone or via private FB chat. If this happened once (that you knew of), it could happen again and again and again. Best to get it out of the way and nip any misunderstandings in the bud.

"Hello, X! I wanted to know if I have done anything to hurt or offend you. I noticed that I wasn't invited to a meet recently, and I wondered if I've done something wrong. You've always been very pleasant when interacting with me, and I can't remember if I've done or said something in poor taste. I'd just like some clarification! :P"

>>9597154
This made me so happy. I use to have a friend like this and I miss it so much.
I'm sure you'll find a great gift.

>>9598072
Haha yeah option two isn't really my style but it's fun to think about. I'd probably get lonely in there, though.

>>9598092
>>9598096
I think I'll try messaging her. I'm so worried I'll come off as weird or passive-aggressive or entitled, though. Most likely she just forgot about me but yeah, ouch.

>>9597777
Hey, anon. I've gained a few lbs recently from being lazy/depressed too. One thing that's helped me shed a bit is drinking a cup (or two) of coffee or tea when I feel sad. The warmth of the drink is soothing and the caffeine helps me feel a little happier. Not recommended if you have a sensitive stomach/are sensitive to caffeine, obviously. And it's best to drink tea/coffee without milk/sugar/honey. Then it's only like, 5 cal a cup.

Larp feels are /cgl/ feels, sue me I fucking dare you.

I had one particular lukewarm idea which she has turned into the hottest shit ever. Elf-chan is great at spreading her hype to other larpers beyond our friends group. This might be admirable, but right now it feels like it's backfiring at me. If that idea becomes a group and I decline to take part I fear she'll judge me.

Gulls, I'm pretty sure it was a local cosplayer (and she's finally gone, not sure if fired.) but I have no idea what she might hate me for, I'm literally no one.

Also

>I had a jumpsuit on. Long sleeve, long pants, and you need to pull it down to pee, obviously. I also had a camisole on, but maybe it was skin-tone and she saw me through the door crack? Why was she even looking...

Very true, but this isn't that. If it were, I would have immediately adhered to whatever dress code policy HR said was in violation, or I would understandably be the one on the chopping block. We have no dress code, and they were as confused as I am. If it helps, pic related.

A couple threads ago I wrote about my new bf's ex-gf who's this relatively popular local T&A cosplayer and how I'm an insecure baby so here's more on that.

>having to deal with the fact that I'm so intimidated by a girl who doesn't even know I exist lmao

I hate this and I hate myself for even putting so much thought into this. My boyfriend doesn't even care about and I feel really secure in my relationship with him, I don't think she's going to steal him away or anything. I just keep mentally comparing myself to her and in my head I'm always losing.

>>9598344
I'd be so irritated in your position then. Wish there was a way you could find out who's reporting.

>>9596903
I don't have anywhere else to go talk about lolita but I hate cgl. It's full of delusional gulls and meaninglessly salty people.

I wish I had a local comm or just someone who is interested in lolita near me.

>>9597762
Oh jeez, I remember that conversation in your screencap. Feels threads at that time were shit up with r9k trolls so often.

>>9598360
Anon, I have a local comm and I come here because there's less than one meet a month and online discourse in any of the lolita Facebook groups is worse than here. There's nowhere else to go any more, I wish we had somewhere like LJ again that used usernames instead of having to pick between real name only and 100% anon.

Hopefully they realise that it's the same person crying wolf over and over and stop listening to her. That sounds super annoying and kinda creepy, though, especially the peeping in the bathroom stall. Like even if you were buck ass naked how'd she know? Can you point this out as harassment to HR? If they know who reported you, they know who was peeping.
The worst I've had to deal with is coworkers who think anything but sports and partying is dumb and treated me like a freak for seeing the newest (or any) Star Wars movie, and then the one weeb who sniffed out my powerlevel and clung on to me, following me around to show me children's anime on her phone because she REALLY wanted me to cosplay the main character. That was... fun.
>I'm not even a cosplayer

Hey, now. Getting married isn't a hallmark of being an adult, and neither is popping out (or adopting) a kid. As long as you're responsible and paying your bills/working, you're an adult. You're allowed to have hobbies! Doesn't make you any less of an adult.

lately i've been feeling really bummed about how i've only recently "learned" how to be pretty. like how to style my hair in flattering ways, what clothes look best on me, how to do my makeup, etc.

i feel like i wasted my earlier teenage years looking like a dumpster fire when i could have been cute knowing what i know now. i'm sure lots of people feel the same way about their awkward phases but damn. i just turned 18 so i have this weird feeling that i've wasted my life being a miserable awkward wretch up until this point because it's kind of the "yay you're an adult now" hallmark.

>>9599143
>only 18
Fuck off retard. You have plenty of years to be pretty.

>>9599164
that's a little aggressive but thanks anyway anon

>>9599143
>I just turned 18
Oh lord.

Being cute is 100% wasted in high school. Being cute as an adult for other adults is where it's at. I know high school still feels sort of important to you, but that's gonna fade hard and fast. Just take the knowledge you have now and apply it. There is nothing to regret.

>wasted my life
You haven't even HAD a life yet, just the formative beginnings of one. Look at it this way, you get to shock everyone you went to school with when they see you looking cute as fuck.

>>9599143
Jesus christ how pathetic. No one cares what you looked like at 14, you whiny baby.

>>9599164

>all of these bitter old gulls embittered by the presence of youth

>>9599205
Projecting much? Or is there something wrong with your reading comprehension?

>>9599205
I'm 18 too and though that anon was being ridiculous.

>>9599219
>implying that you're not projecting your anger onto somebody more youthful than you because you're a bitter hag

>>9599229
>complain you wasted life at 18
>someone calls you retarded
>OLD HAG LMAO
I called her out and I'm a 21 year old male. I'll be fine aging but she has at least 7-8 years before decline.

>>9599172
thank you for your support anon

>>9599202
>>9599225
>>9599251
i'm none of these anons >>9599205
>>9599229 but i'm wondering why you think it's so silly to be both insecure and young? they're not mutually exclusive things.

>>9599256
It's expected to be insecure when young, but acting like your life is practically over at 18 is ridiculous even by immature teenager standards. When I was 18 I was looking forward to (and insecure about) the future, not pining for the past.
>not the person who insulted her btw

>>9599261
sorry, i think i worded things badly by saying
>i just turned 18 so i have this weird feeling that i've wasted my life being a miserable awkward wretch up until this point
what i meant is that i wish i had spent my formative years better, not that my life is entirely over. i understand though.

>been poorfag for most of my life
>saved up as best I could
>usually had to use money to help with bills, food, etc.
>finally have a well paying job working for my uni
>more financially stable
>planning out my first full lolita coord now

I'm really excited that I'll be able to buy and not just look longingly, it's a good feel.

>>9599251
>retard! you're not allowed to be sad that you weren't as cute before because you're 18 and not old! reeeee!
>I called her out and I'm a 21 year old male.
Feeling so inclined to insult an 18 year old chick because she's bummed she didn't look cute in high school. Also as a 20 year old male, you're just sad. This is just a feels thread, no need to be a dick because you need somewhere to take out your anger.

>>9599269
She made it sound like she wasted her youth but she hasn't. Not my fault she/you are retarded.
It's a feels thread and I felt it was a stupid post so I replied. What's the problem?

>>9599269
Anon, he's an autist, or retarted himself. No use trying to reason with him.

>>9599272
NAYRT but it's called "punching down." The fact that you felt like you needed to bring up how you're an adult male making fun of a teen girl online makes you seem way more retarded.

>>9599287
>you're an old hag jealous of youth!
>state that I'm not
>cant believe you brought up your age
Lol alright.

There's nothing wrong with cosplaying as your older. Enjoy it while you can and don't sweat having a kid. After going through the whole pregnancy and now raising a toddler, I always encourage people to just do what they like and just havs a kid when they're ready. Kids are exhausting and emotionally draining.


My husband and I still cosplay, and we've done a bit of family cosplay. I'd like to make Inko and Deku (in the all might kigu) and I have fabric for Chichi and Gohan(still need goku fabric)

Also feel
>go fabric shopping.

>plan to use it to make a new dress and such.
>tell my MIL about my day amd sjow her my fabric.
>she says she likes it, wants to use it to make seat covers, and asks me if I need it.

Yeah, because I totally don't need the fabric I had to drive an hour away for, that I bought TODAY, and specifically said I was going to use for a specific project.

She can either go buy it herself or give me the cash to go buy it for her.

Wizardry.

>>9599830
Yah keto is pretty neat but I lost 80lbs without and had plenty of bread bro.

>>9599832

Well seeing as how I don't think I've had a single meal in the last five months that didn't involve noodles or rice, and I have a medical condition that predisposes me to serious injury while doing stupidly basic shit, I'm gonna take the route that has lots of reference material, a set of simple rules to follow, and can be supplemented with exercise that won't cause me to partially dislocate my hips.

But that's neither here nor there.

Omg hang in there anon. I worked a 70 hour work week this past week so I can feed my con addiction. Doubles every day with a break in between shifts to sleep, they end at midnight and I had to be back at 5am. Wasn't pleasant but I managed.

>>9599858
It's all good, just saying you can eat bread and lose weight.
I'm also doing keto and it's a lot of fun. Taught me how to cook.

periods sound horrible in all honesty

>>9596999
Hi, if you're my person I was talking to.
There was a lot I didn't tell you, some stuff isn't so great, and I'm having a lot of problems. You seem really nice but like you're having your own complications so you don't need mine too. I don't want to be dumping on you, you need someone supportive and happy, and I'm just not that person right now.

For the record, I thought you were really awesome, and really nice to me, and if we were closer I would have dated you in a heartbeat. None of this is because you're boring or unattractive, it's because I'm just really sad right now and some serious stuff is happening and I just need to go cold-turkey and cut all ties to get through it.

I hope you find what you're looking for!

>>9599919
Someone on my comm page just chided me for asking about a type of petticoat while "there are actually important things happening in the world", referring to Charlottesville. How dare I talk about lolita on a lolita-specific community page, I guess? Or maybe how dare I have thoughts that aren't 100% about the current happenings of a country on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
I get that this shit is important to many people and agree that it needs to be discussed, but that doesn't mean we need to drop everything else and can only use the internet to talk about this one subject. Part of me wants to wait until this blows over, then when this chick is back to talking about the latest AP release and give her shit for that because People Have War In Their Countries, how dare she concern herself with frivolities! See how she takes it when she's on the receiving end.

>>9599989
They kind of are, yeah.

>>9599906
Never ever trust your period. You should have learned that in the first years of having your period. In case of doubt always use protection cause you'll never know what that fucker of period is up to.

It's fine, I'm used to it. Do what you need to, and good luck.

But anon, we have to care about it if it's in America! Sure children have been starving in Africa for at least a century now, and yeah the Charlottesville events don't affect any of us in the least and I'm fairly certain most Americans couldn't point us out on a map, but if the yanks are doing it, by golly so should we!

Off topic of cgl.... My husband just found out (and the whole company for that matter) that they all lost their full time jobs today.... And all people care about is their fucking point system! What about the employees who had no choice here!? Selfish bastards. Feeling so fucking great right now....

I was talking to a guy online who's also into cgl related things, we were getting along really well I thought. I sent him some money to help him along with his cosplay. He ghosted me though, now I'm back to being sad, broke and lonely.

>>9600248
>sending money to randos online
By the way I'm a Nigerian Prince, tell me your bank account numbers and I'll wire you millions of dollars!

>>9600317
Well we had been talking for a long time and I considered him a friend. I don't really regret sending him money, more like I'm lonely and miss having someone to talk to.

>package from CC passed through customs without fees

>>9600055
I wouldn't even mind so much if the people doing this were into social justice and (international) politics in general, but they're not. They're completely ignorant of local issues and have no clue about our country's foreign policy on pretty much anything. They're constantly talking about American politics but I bet you a brand dress they can't name more than five of our own major politicians without Googling them first. I know for a fact that several of them straight up forgot to vote in our last election, because they laughed about it at a meetup. They only care about politics and social issues that are currently trending on twitter, and if it involves any more effort than writing an angry status update on FB then they're not interested. Fuck that.

>>9600248
This makes me feel good since I remember all the guys gulls take advantage of for money and brand

>>9600347
nayrp but feeling good about other anon being sad? you sound like a shit person.

>>9600248
>>9600323
Your heart was in the right place, but I think it really shows what sort of "friend" he was by just taking you money and ditching you. Not to mention he should be able to work on his own cosplay by himself/find means on his own to fund his interest/hobby like the rest of us do. You're not a bad or dumb person at all anon, but please just try to be more careful in the future, you don't deserve to be hurt like that. Being ghosted hurts, but even more so when there was a lot of time invested into it, so try not to feel too bad about things, okay?

>>9600347
So basically because of someone else this gull deserves to be mistreated and you delight in it. You're a piece of work.

>>9600248
It's cool same thing happened to me. No big deal, hope they got their dream burando I guess.

Some people will unfortunately jump through a lot of hoops to get financial or emotional payout from people. I had a close group of gaming friends for over two years - we talked/played nearly every day until one of the friendlier, more outgoing members scammed the group out of nearly a thousand dollars with no warning, and then disappeared.

You know. Honestly it's best to remove yourself from them unless you can drill it through their heads that discussion about your mom is completely off the table.

My family has pretty much treated me like a scape goat my entire life and pretty much just doesn't care if I exist. I tried to keep up a relationship with my parents and they just don't care that I exist. Nobody in my family has contacted me in over four months even though my parent live like, 30 minutes away and my dad is retired and home daily. The only reason they ever talk to me is if I make the call and set up visits.

> "get married and have kids in your 20s" scam.
The joke is, that's not the scam. The scam is "fool around and find yourself and wait until your 30s/40s to get married". Getting married and starting a family in your 20s is the sensible advice.

>>9600703
Dreams are dumb as fuck, sorry. Stick with current for a career. Maybe in 10-20 years if you save enough move to japland and teach English much more comfortably.

>>9600777
Wrong. Kidding married is a scam and kids are an 18 year investment that don't pay off unless they make more money than you and you need help retiring.

>>9600777
Get married in your 20s, get divorced in your 30s.

I'm 26 now and 2/3 of my older friends are either divorced or disappointed with their relationships.

>found lolita custom content online for my sims
Now excuse me as I dress my sims up in burando and wish it were me.

>>9600785
That's an awfully objectifying way to look at another human life. Do you consider yourself an 18 year "investment"? Have you paid out dividends to your parental shareholders?
>>9600801
The high divorce rates are part and parcel with the cultural scam of avoiding marriage until late. No need to work on a relationship or improve yourself, just jump on the next boat. A selfish mentality that thinks of what one gets out of the relationship before what one puts into it.

>>9600731
I'm so happy for you anon. We get so many bad feels and girls with EDs in these threads that it's nice to hear someone get out of it.

I ate like always but my weight dropped down. Second one was when I started cycling more, I burned more calories and I didn't even realize my dropped weight. Third time I fell badly sick and hardly ate anything but that won't be your case.

There could also be something medical problem with you. Almost every time I have visited doctor they say everything could be "solved" by just eating more or going to therapist (wtf). You just have to get them examine you well, your weight loss for no reason is not normal for a small person.

I'm 24 and married and this is the dumbest thing I've read in a while. Everyone I know who got divorced (most of my family) were on the "gotta get married and have them kids!!!" train. A few years in they realized they never wanted to marry the person they did, they just wanted to be married period.

Do I think we're magic and divorce proof? No. But at least I married someone because I wanted them to be my partner in life, not some checkbox with a pulse.

Also fuck kids, we'd rather travel and enjoy our lives.

>>9600703
I am teaching in Japan and this is great for me, but I didn't have any better options back home so that's my key reason for accepting and of course, all the lolita. I say keep your awesome paying job and if it gets too stressful or you feel like you need to try something different, apply for a position in Japan then. They don't only hire high fresh out of college kids, so don't worry about it and enjoy where your life is now.

>My feels
I was heartbroken and lonely before--see>>9597144--, but hanging out with my normie friends hasn't been too bad and they don't seem as weirded out by my jfashion choices. Maybe people aren't too bad after all. Besides the guy I was dating, he was bad and I feel so happy I broke up with him. I can spend all the money I had on dates I wanted to take him on myself with no guilt now.

>qt3.14 gf is like on the other side of the state
>I miss her so much
>School's starting up
>Spend my money I was saving for burando on books and boring shit
>Sleeping for 13+ hours
>Not ever leaving my room
I'm just tired at this point. I feel like shit. I wanna an hero, but even that feels like too much work. I never leave my house, so I don't ever really get dressed up anymore, but my clothes are the only thing that cheers me up at this point. That, and my gf, but she's far away and we haven't talked in a few days and idk if she's busy or it's my fault for being lazy and not calling her or what. I have not clue how to do long distance relationships and I feel like I'm failing at being a good gf. I have a couple of appointments today, but I really just wanna cancel and stay home and watch anime and cry into my ice cream. Hell, I haven't even sat down and watched anime in a while now. Things I like just don't make me happy anymore and I feel shitty.

Communication is important, anon. Do you talk to your girlfriend every day, or every other day? Do you text her at least? You have to keep communicating when you're far away from each other. Kill two birds with one stone by starting a video call with her and get dressed up for that.

I feel like it doesn't hurt to message them sayin you really love that dress and would be happy to make up the difference in shipping, but also understand if they don't want the hassle. If you are polite, it should be alright and the worst they can do is say no!

My depression has been getting worse for months and lolita is the only thing keeping me alive right now. I'm seriously considering killing myself after DMC because I honestly have no reason to live anymore and at least I'll have two days of being sorta happy before I finally go.

Holy shit that's specific, you could be someone I know.

Reach out to your friends anon, there are people who want you here.

>>9601527
Probably not I'm a just a nobody. I like my comm but I don't think anybody in it would consider me as their friend. I'm pretty shy and socially awkward so we haven't really bonded. As for actual friends I don't really have any. I only have my girlfriend and she would be much better off without me.

>>9601534
No, she wouldn't. She would be miserable if you killed yourself. Talk to her, and let her know how you are feeling.

>>9601534
Another UK lolita here, I'm a nobody myself and my comm is full of really great established lolitas who have known each other for years, but after 3 years I'm finally getting close to some of them. DMC will be a great opportunity to meet new people and to make memories with members of your comm too.
At the end of the day though, there is more to life than lolita. Your girlfriend is not better off without you, and if you reach out she will support you. Please talk to someone - especially a medical professional if you can.

I'm going to worry about you all weekend anon.

I've been saving for a dream dress for a while now. My dad got himself into a financial crisis, and I used most of the savings to pay it off. A reasonably priced listing came up for dress, and now I'm a bit short. I asked my father about paying me back now that his situation is better, and he went on a rant about how much money he spent on me as a kid. Goodbye dress, I hope someone nice gets it.

Also I recently saw a lolita and her boyfriend was fixing her hair in public. mfw will never have that.

>>9601547
>She would be miserable if you killed yourself.
Absolutely, you'd probably fuck her up mentally for years. This "they're better off without me" logic is ridiculous.

I just want to ramble since I haven't told anyone I know what I'm working on: I have two more weeks left to finish the surprise couple cosplay for my husband and I. So far I've been cool as a cucumber and I hope that by the end of this project, I won't turn out as pic related.

I started on the hard part: the props, and I haven't worked with a lot of EVA foam till now. Using all sorts of ghetto methods (hair dryer instead of heat gun, I know) since I'm trying to pick my battles of buying this or that. It's been a real learning adventure, and I don't expect the end product to be 100% since it's my first time doing these things, but it's been so cool so far. I'm crunching around work time and day offs to get these cosplays done, and I can't wait to surprise him with these! We've cosplayed before, and I'm sure he'll be over the moon about it.

>>9601625

I have never felt more complimented in my whole life.

It feels like having a popular kawaii tumblr is a time investment similar to having a part time job.
You've got to:

>make sure your original posts are tagged in as many ways as possible to get the most views/likes/reposts/etc
>manage your image and "brand"
>send yourself daily anon asspat messages to improve your image and look popular
>comb social media looking for inactive accounts to repost/steal content from

This micromanaging your social image shit is time consuming and it sucks. I'm not even sure I want to be popular this badly. Sometimes I just want to fuck off and go read a book for awhile.

Part of me wants to just try and move on from it because I've met a wonderful girl as a direct result of needing to branch out from my old group and because I know people are getting tired of hearing me constantly dwelling on it. But, part of me also wants to confront them and so thoroughly dress them down in public in front of all their friends for all their backhanded two-faced bullshit that I ruin their weekend like they ruined most of my year. I just don't know whether I'm too emotionally weary to keep caring for much longer or still too furious to let it go, and that is a very weird mix of emotions.

Across the floor I spotted someone in a 2B cosplay by herself. I was cosplaying 9S, also alone. I swear, we stared at eachother for a full minute, but neither of us had the guts to go over and say hi. I eventually lost her in the crowd and that was that.

>>9600987
Anon, have you tried using myfitnesspal or another site to track your calories/exercise? Getting some hard numbers can help you in two ways. First, if there really is something wrong with you, your dr may be more inclined to look into it if you can say "hey I'm eating 2000 calories but not gaining weight." Second, it'll give you a better handle on what you're actually eating or how you're burning it because it's very easy to overlook something. My very thin friend had a problem where she suddenly lost ten pounds and couldn't figure out why since she was eating right, and was on the verge of going to the doctor before she made a list and realized that she'd been burning it all off because she'd been jogging more than usual.

>>9601874
If I were Asian it'd be likely, but I'm not.

>>9601873
Bitch I had a fandom popular blog for a while, and if you gotta do all that to get noticed you're flat out producing bad content. I will gladly say that continually havin to produce good content, reply to real messages in a timely manner, and always be aware people are reading into everything to do IS a pain, and for me less valuable than its worth. Hence the "used to"

What dress was it?
And if it's any condolence, I'd help fix your hair, make sure your petti is all good, and tie your waist ties for you, so try not to get too down about things! As cliche as it is, there definitely is someone out there for you, so just make sure you take good care of yourself until then so that they'll be wow'd when you meet them!

>>9602226
I completely agree. Would rather they said they're done talking, I find it a lot less rude than being ghosted. I won't even pester for a reason from them. Having some closure is appreciated.

>>9598358
I mostly felt embarrassed and unsure of myself for a long time. I didn't understand what about my actions or personality made someone want to go after me, because this company is full of other women with pastel or whatever color of the month hair who dress like me and cosplay. I also got the hint that trying to find out definitively who made the reports would have gotten me in hot water, so I didn't push it. I'm content knowing I'm probably right, and that she's gone, and not on a high note.

>>9598697
They did, eventually, and I told them my suspicions as well, about my leg, and that I expect privacy when doing normal stuff on the toilet, in a closed stall. Never got called in again.

There is nothing they can do about their obligation to keep all these reports made against me on my employee record, though. And I'm pissed about that. What if I don't get a chance to explain or get the benefit of the doubt from the next person to read that record?

That's a really pretty print, and I like it in red as well, so I can definitely see why you wanted it so much. It's unfortunate, but try to stay strong like I said before. Something good will happen to you soon, I'm sure of it!
It might not mean much, but if you need someone to talk to or vent to about things, I'm right here!

Thanks again, I'm lonely so it's cool to have someone to talk to, even a random anon on 4chan.

You're totally welcome, so don't worry about it. I get like that too sometimes, so I know how those moments are when you really want/need someone to just talk to and can't really. If you wanted, I could also drop a throwaway at any point if you wanted.
Not to rub it in or anything though (literally the last thing I'd want to do), I wanted to know how you would've coord'd that dress from before, since you did have something in mind, right?

>>9602171
Nayrt, but any tips/advice?

It feels like every time I come up with something someone's already done it better.

>>9602422
They're an ironic trend going with the vintage sportswear trend among students in my area, but I've never seen them on a teen.

I bought something on lacemarket and paid the same day. The seller still hasn't read my message a week later saying that I sent payment, but has posted new items on lacemarket. I'm starting to get worried because it is past the window of time they said it would be shipped post payment. :(

>>9602408
If you would drop a throwaway that'd be nice. Though, I really don't want to force someone to talk to me out of pure pity.
I did make a collage earlier of coord plans around the dress, I'll find it!

>>9602458
Nah, I wouldn't call it pity at all. It's more sympathy and a good deal of interest to tell the truth, so no worries. I just made it though, so it should be: friendlycglanon at outlook Let me know if there's any issues contacting me there, hopefully there shouldn't be.
If you're able to find your collage, you should definitely show me, since I'd seriously like to see what you had planned!

Can you just replace the screw? Or you could tell him a screw broke and tell him you'll pay for and replace it. That will make you seem responsible and trustworthy. If he notices and knows it broke after you borrowed it, it'll be obvious you tried to hide it from him and avoid responsibility.

This story sounds kind of weird. Are your parents paying for everything or you make enough to support yourself and brand buying?

I missed out on my ultimate dream dress on lacemarket for an amazing price just because I waited a couple of hours too long. It got snagged away right as I was going to buy it.
It never showed up in secondhand sales before, either. I feel absolutely devastated and stupid for not acting on it earlier.
I didn't know online auctions could make me feel this way. Take me, Mana-sama.

>>9602646

>>9602578
I make 52k a year, 24, no wife or kids. Preddy normal for the socially retarded.

There are crack addict hobos with kids my dude. Doesn't mean anything.

I really like wearing lolita, but sometimes I think about disappearing completely from the online comm because I'll never have particularly good coordinates.
I'm not an ita, but I never do anything special. I'm in a limbo of mediocrity.

>>9602680
I have this feel too. I dont wear anything grand enough to post on COF but at the same time nothing I have posted has ever been called ita, I just get a small amount of likes and usually my posts went unnoticed from even the 4chan COF.

I guess thats what I get for wanting to wear it as an actual every day fashion.

>>9602690
>that's what i get for wearing it as an everyday fashion
wearing it as an everyday fashion isn't an excuse to look mediocre lol

>>9602700
I dont think what I wear is mediocre, but its more "normal" less accessories, less poof sometimes.

mediocre literally just means average to slightly below average, we can't all be brilliant and pushing the envelope all the time. some coords just have to exist being good enough but nothing unusual.

Indian parents?

I have $3 in my bank account.

Should I spend it on lolita?

Hey Aris, can you help me with this combo? It's CH f+4~f, CDS df~b, b+3~f CDS 1, df+1,4 S! b+3~f CDS 1,2
Thanks!

>>9602760
Yes

>>9601906
Don't. They'll just laugh at you and everyone else will think you're crazy.

>>9602643
This happened to me as well.
I was talking to a really nice cgl anon, but I got really busy but then swept away on an unexpected family trip, but now I'm about to leave on another one and will be afk for at least 2 weeks.

If either >>9596999 or>>9602173 are them, I'm so sorry!
I don't know if it will be awkward to re-start talking again in two weeks when I'm back, but if you're okay with it, send me another message so I'll know!

>become vastly dissatisfied with life
>have had a general unease about my life situation since graduation a year ago and it's gotten worse in the last few weeks
>part of my dissatisfaction comes from not enjoying the hobbies I once enjoyed; they feel like a waste of time compared to the healthy/responsible things I could be doing
>I'm not only disinterested in the weeby things I loved, they annoy me to see
>entirely bored of lolita fashion blogs/blogs with fan or official content for my favorite fandoms
>checking cgl is boring (I used to browse it for hours daily and I haven't cared to look at it for 2 weeks), lolita groups on FB are boring, meets sound boring
>start to feel stupid about how much I spent on the fashion, on weeb merch, etc
>considering selling entire wardrobe in hopes of getting some of what I spent back

It used to make me sad to see people outgrow the fashion when it brought me such joy, but here I am. I'm half-hoping this is just a phase after all the time and money I sunk into this hobby, and half-excited to get money from selling my wardrobe to use on other things. I'm going to wait to see how I feel in a week or two before making decisions, because I don't want to regret losing some dream pieces.

This piccie is so WRONG

>>9599562
Awww
>>9599948
Yeah what the fuck?
>>9600332
That's why they do the autistic screeching, because they don't know what the hell they talking about
>>9599919
Sometimes the cringe is funny anon, but yeah, it's getting tiring, even for me and i'm a drama whore.

>be me
>Be into lolita but i get serious this year
>Want to change my wardrobe entirely
>Suddenly we go broke
>Whathappened.jpg
Basically my dad decided to save a couple hundreds of bucks instead of giving it to us like usual and now we have to choose between food or pay the bills, let alone hunt for burando.
I just feel so bad gulls. I can't work because i didn't finish my studies and they already take like 10 hours of my day. Guess i'll have to leave lolita on hold.

>saw Sugary Carnival skirt in lavender on Closet Child
>desperately tries to gather money for it
>gets the moniez, hooray
>have to wait till Monday to put money in bank to pay for it
>checks page to see if skirt still up
>sold out
>cries

Now this is the kind of content I like to see

>traveling in lolita (thankfully not by plane)
>boyfriend teases me thatI look like The Traveling Barbie Playset
>pink luggage, pink purse, pink everything
>afraid it might rain
>doesn't, but now just chilly enough I can wear my pink cashmere cardigan and carry my frilly umbrella
I'm totally expecting something to go wrong, seagull poop out of nowhere or something.

>>9603117
Your dedication to your aesthetic is admirable, anon. Have fun, and I hope you can continue being safely pink throughout your trip!

>>9603055
>I can't work because I didn't finish my studies
That's never an excuse though. Even if it's some shitty part-time job, you have no reason to complain your dad doesn't want to give you money so you can buy lolita this once. Learn to be independent.

>>9602966
It sounds like you're losing interest in hobbies because you're depressed, not because you're actually over them.

i guess that happened. still feels unreal desu

I didn't know Elle Woods posted on cgl

I really admire and respect people who dress in any type of alternative fashion. I love the aesthetic of so many different alt fashions but im scared of standing out/attracting attention so id never wear any myself.

>start taking photos of dresses I don't think I'll wear for sale
>get lost in how pretty they are
>decide to keep them

Welp. I'm officially a hoarder now. Or maybe that was twenty dresses ago and I never noticed.

When all your friends are slutting it up, but you just sit in your parents' basement wearing burando.

>>9603469
Pfff this is me. There's a few dresses laid out on my bed that I planned to list on LM today but I can't stop admiring them.

>>9602539
Just be honest about what happened.apologise sincerely, then offer to pay for it. That's all you can do.

What the hell is this?

Old feel but whatever:

>friend and I go to con as characters from same game
>friend is a bit more attractive than me and wearing skimpier costume
>expect her to get more pictures, totally cool with it
>group of dudes, one asks for pic with her
>later encounter same group, ask for another pic of her
>dude asks me to join pic with awkward half-apology that he hadn't seen me earlier
>realise my chronic bitch face made me look sad/jealous
>realise I accidentally became that cosplayer you take pity pictures of

It was weird as hell at the time but now it's just funny.

I have a few pieces of brand that I will never be able to fit into (due to breast size+have the ribcage of a hearty 50 year old man)
I won't sell/get rid of them because they're so beautiful, even if I can't wear them.
