old one died.What did she do to deserve this?
>>9171556>not expect them to have a specific set of organsWhat about gay people and straight people?It's not about "performance", they just like the D. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with all of this genitals bullshit, feel bad for sexual people.
>>9171541Body shaming is wrong, but trying to deny the health ramifications of being obese is just as bad as harassing someone for being fat. I really wish there was some kind of protocol the government would implement to lower obesity, like increase your taxes if your doctor deems you unhealthy and you aren't doing anything about it, or something like that.
>>9171578>>9171579this has to be a joke, it can't be real. i don't believe it
>>9171556>the people who can't empathize, just because you can't feel it doesn't mean it isn't real. how self-centered/emotionally lazy of you to dismiss the experiences of others.I empathize, I just think they need to focus on being alright with their birth gender instead of living a lie. No matter how much you make yourself look like a man and act like one, at the end of the day, you're genetically female and there's nothing you can do about it. What's so wrong with saying people should accept biological reality, but dress/act however they want? If we were discussing people wanting to become a different race, pretty much no would would deny a white person can't "identify" as Japanese and make it so. why is gender so different?
>>9171481She sounds welsh. Bet its newport
Interested in seeing photos from AX!>what youre working on>Wig colour/styling>armor
>>9170362What >>9170384 said, it barely resembles the class at all. And I agree, doing an alt class or promotion should be done more often (especially with some effort) and is also a great way to stand out from Lucina nr. 50pic related is the official concept art of the bride class (warming: it's pretty big, sorry)
>>9165642Theres something about this outfit that makes it look nothing like kinu at all....
>>9170727And by that you mean the extremely underwhelming ears?
>>9170887theres that and the wig? and something about the outfit too...

ITT: newbie tier questions for cgl related things
First time trying to buy something on Closetchild, filling out shipping information while looking at their guide, and confused over 'Please note that you must use half-size numerals not full-width Roman numerals.' It says it won't work if you enter things wrong, so I'm not sure what to do.
>>9171160Not that anon, but many arm sock tutorials advise you to cut a hole in a pair of the crotch of tights so you can wear them kind of like a cropped long sleeve top. I've never seen it in person, but there is some armpit coverage.
>>9171333Never mind, I was just stupid and I finally managed to turn up results on what this was all about.
I wanna cosplay one of the sisters from Kubo, but I've never attempted anything this hard before. I usually just cosplay stuff that I can sew (i.e. idol dresses, etc) that doesn't require any props. The most I've done in terms of hard props is huge butterfly wings, and after one day of wearing them at a con they were broken (this was in 2012, glomping was common and some fucking weeb tore one off of me and the wire got twisted) and I have no idea how to even start with the giant hat + armor + cape. Should I give up? Then again, I'll never get better if I don't try hard stuff out of my comfort level.
Does anyone have pictures of that one hagrid coord?? I've been searching for it but can't find it.
Bodyline thread, never4get editioni was wondering to anyone who has bought a body line tote, do they smell really..... fishy? my cousin bought me an antique clock tote which i plan use for normie wear since i dress gothic and it's pretty cute, but it smells like mr yan himself rubbed his sweaty ballsack all over it. anyone else got this problem?
>>9171036I had similar s&h costs ($12 airmail) but way fewer items.I got costume535, pan046, and acc1234 (maid outfit, short/thin petticoat, and wrist cuffs) if anyone wants to compare. US east coast for reference.
>>9171059Thanks, gonna try it out later. Let's see how much I'll get.
>>9171059Dif. anon, but tried it out anyway. Same stuff as you mentioned. 11,39€ airmail ans 22,37€ EMS to germany.
Probably stupid questions, but is there any way to see ONLY the products on sale?And does the yen trick still work?
>>9171589Nevermind the site isn't even working for me anymore
Anime Weekend Atlanta is about a month away.Anyone here going? >what are you looking forward to?>are you cosplaying?>advice for new comers?>thoughts on the con?So far had a blast last year looking to go back and have more fun this year.
>>9170763If my Wig for Launch actually makes it in time I wanna get a picture with you!
>>9171439Yes, definitely! More OG Dragon Ball cosplay please. I want to use the wig for Fanfan as well one day.
>>9164791First name begins with R, rhymes with "when"? Or do we have multiple salty rape fuckers in the comm getting banned from groups?
>what are you looking forward to? I'm really excited for Metamorphose being there! They're my favorite lolita brand. It's too bad I'm only going for Friday so I probably will miss all their events but I'll at least be able to see their stuff in the dealer's room and maybe buy some stuff. >are you cosplaying?I'll be cosplaying as Blue Tundra from Shimoneta. Yay for easy last minute cosplays!>advice for new comers?Get yourself one of those external phone battery charger things. They are a lifesaver. Trying to find your hotel in Atlanta without a GPS at 1 in the morning is not fun. >thoughts on the con?Well it's the only big con I've ever been to so my opinion may be biased but I think it's really fun. I've never not enjoyed it before.
Anyone know where some bank ATMs or places with cash back? I tried to find some with Google Maps last year but it led me to the middle of the mall parking lot.

>>9171551I'll be your gfHow fat are you?

So what is that MCM ISIS group actually about?
ITT: Lolita in media / lolita-esque music / artists that wear lolita clothes Some questions>When was the first time you saw anything related to lolita or jfashion on tv?>How did you feel about it?>What's your general opinion on how tv represents the fashion? >Do you remember any music videos with lolita stuff in them? Western or Japanese.>Any lolita-esque music you would like to share?Any example counts (even if they are ita as hell).
Oh no, because of this filthy cunt many people associate Lolita fashion with nymphet and ageplay shit, I fucking hate her.
>>9170947>she didn't ever have a baby with TonyNo shit-- she had a baby with Gavin Rossdale! Did you even watch their behind the music, bro? She wanted to have babies and her bass player did not.
>>9171393Why does that matter? Frankly if it makes you uncomfortable to still be with someone even though you know you have no future, then good for her for leaving the band. Gave her a chance to actually be with someone without the pressures of an ex hanging around.
>>9171448>drops everything cause babies>now it's time to be a sex symbol pop star out of nowhere!!It's cause her music was suddenly garbage.
>>9171547lol I think it's funny her adult life decisions make you so mad

>>9171246these days we have great video tutorials and such to help us
>>9171261well he got it "right" the first time, following youtube clips and all, but the first batch turned out very hard and heavy in the foam so he had to redo them.
>>9169347>Please review it 9f you can, I'm thinking of getting it.will do.Also a little addition on the new wyvern sword: Yesterday I managed to break it. The core. Will email Wyvern about it tomorrow about what the flying fuck, because it's obviously something should have happened with a core like that. May or may not it was just faulty or sometinhg
I can't find a decent looking Kidney Belt for the life of me. Max I want to spend is 130 American Freedom Coupons. Anyone have any recommendations?
>>9171374Oh, sorry to hear. Got me a little worried too, since I got a dagger from them last Drachenfest
Anyone else who worked for a Lolita store have any stories?>worked for burando store in San Fran>landwhale comes in>asks to try on dress>politely inform her of our policy against letting people try on the dresses who clearly won't fit them>"but how do you know it won't fit me if I haven't even tried anything on?!">bitch is too fat to even fit in full shirring>explain that everything is one size and runs really small>she throws a shitfit and demands to speak to manager>we don't usually have managers working the floor>when I tell her this, she demands I call up my boss so she can tell them the situation>do just that>boss straight up tells her she's too big to fit the second she reveals her dress size (which was 20-something)>girl storms out angrily, saying she's never been fat shamed so bad in her entire life
When the h.naoto store existed in SF I went there when visiting Japantown with the wife of one of my husband's good friends to attempt to befriend her. She wandered all over the store complaining nothing would fit her. The shop keepers were nice and made some suggestions and she did try on one dress thing but the graphic got too stretched. That in itself doesn't warrant a horror story except she then proceeded to brag about some Hot topic choker she was wearing to the clerks and how it was so cute and cheap compared to their stuff.
>>9166725It honestly makes so much sense since I worked in a boutique store and the amount of clothes that were ruined from foundation marks was insane
What are the brand stores in Europe like?Are they better or worse than the ones in the US?
>>9170862I just called BtSSB SF to subtly verify this out of curiosity, and they said that there is indeed a hierarchy among the sales girls outside of just a single store manager. You are confirmed for incorrect.
>>9171554To my surprise, the girl at the Paris BtSSB shop when I went was the sweetest retail worker I've ever encountered. Quite a shock, since Paris service people have a well earned reputation for being cold at best, especially if you're American.
Zero Escape thread, self posts welcome. cgl doesn't have spoiler tags so proceed with caution if you haven't played the whole series.

Because the other thread is saging >>9132153My friends and I are building a harem of cat boys for Anime California, does anyone have suggestions on where we can find tails that will attach well to boxers and preferably don't use pins?
>>9171197It shouldnt be too bad besides the arm
>>9170009Arts moo is what I use
What would be the best way to make the white stripes on this so they're even and crisp? I'm using a 4-way stretch 94% polyester material, if that helps
Can anybody tell me what the thing that hangs between his legs is called or how to make one
I'm hoping to make Pidge from the new Voltron reboot but how would I go about making the top? I'm torn between splitting up each colour and sewing it separately or making a white base and adding everything on top
We're just over a week out, who's going and does anyone need a room? I have some space available in the Hyatt.
>>9171052There was more party when it was at a hotel. Being mostly at the convention center sorta made it harder.
>3rd day here>don't even know whyThis is awful
Overall, I had more fun playing Pokemon Go with friends than anything else at this con.
Dead con was dead. Next year I'll bring friends and throw an open door party.
>>9171309Hopefully they'll consider moving back to a hotel in Orange County until it grows.
So this year I was really looking forward to Saboten because it finally seemed like they were finally listening to us anymore for what we want guest wise? I guess they are going for quantity of quality with their guest list. The convention has been around long enough and has enough attendance to get actual Japanese voice actor guests. Oh well it looks like its going to be the same old same old with Saboten.Anyways who is all going and what are you going to cosplay?
>>9171041Hey there anon, I'm sorry you had such a bad time at your second Arizona convention. Let me tell you though please don't give up on the community. Taiyou con is still on the horizon and I can help make your con experience even better. If you go to Taiyou con come find me and I'll help you out.
I met up without without realiZing it . Top fun
>>9171259No, this is probably my 8th or 9th con. I just moved here from out of state, that's all.>>9171332I have no idea who you are, but sure. I've considered joining up with a community but honestly, everything I see from communities just looks so toxic and catty and stressful. I'm not looking to live in some Game of Thrones bullshit where people are always shit talking behind other people's back. I just want to have fun and feel cute. I think it might have just been my own insecurities and anxiety that got in the way of me having a good time, but whatever. It's over and done with now.
I lost my badge but I don't really want to pay for a new one. Anyone want to give me/sell me one? Probably just for today or maybe Monday too. My friend has an extra lanyard so if someone even just photocopies the full event pass for me, I would be overjoyed lol. I thought I'd ask here first.
I've been strongly into anime and general weeb shit for 18 years and the closest thing to a con that I've been to is Matsuri. I don't see how this is worth the money for me, especially since I don't have friends to go with.
