>>8894263Oh thank you! The nude shoes are adorable. One size too small for my size 10 foot damn it. But I did find these in the same store and I might get them.
I found a shop that sold lots of Ravey Neon clothes.I saved tons of stuff as bookmarks but then my Computer completley died. Now I cant remember anything so If anyone knows the shop name Let me know.

In honor of Street Fighter V's release lets have a SF cosplay thread
Should we expect half ass and under finish SFV cosplays in honor of the game? Inb4 casual.
>>8874540Typically you sacrifice accuracy for function. I've noticed in cosplay in general are that people who can actually move like the character tend to have lesser quality outfits

>>8894841
Anyone have stories from con's they've been to? Can range from cool to cringey.
>>8885167Not any more, no. AX switched to Eventbrite last year, once the line opened on day zero, they cut through it within about two hours. It got to the point where a lot of the staff had nothing to do, and my buddy who was one actually got into a little bit of trouble because he missed a shift.

Previous one was bumped off the board thanks to a certain someone.Discuss cosplay plans, outfit help, fabric prints, etc.Has anyone done the album art outfits?
>>8894640Can't have the orange feeling weird by herself. Gotta have everyone in a joke costume
Off note. Anyone attempting to get the Polaroid camera that 7-11 is coming out with ? None of my friends are staying in Japan till July, so no luck on my end.
>>8894815I never really saw the point in getting a Polaroid camera when my phone already has a pretty decent camera on it but gosh darn these cameras are so cute. I'm undecided about this one.
>>8889232Seconding what >>8889257 said about Ascos. I'm the anon above who wanted their Victorian Umi. It just got shipped today, and I can post a review of it if anyone is interested. The pictures from my SS looked good though.
>>8894815Going to Japan at the end of March for concert shenanigans and other LL events, and I'm looking to preorder this. I honestly want the bag it come with more, as it will hold any instax camera of that same model.

>>8890572Maybe we've just gotten too used to the limited normie fashion that guys usually wear.
>>8890599and deviating from the norm, at all, is assumed to be for sexual reasons.(which i think reverses cause and effect but that is another conversation.)in America, masculinity is not based on being looked at the way femininity is. so drawing attention to your looks is seen as effeminate, and guys who dress cute are extra weird because it's okay for women to be childlike but not men.>pic to contribute, more Uri
>>8889621shut the fuck up, men in the jfashion comms are literally slobbered over. Half of the mediocre dudes I've seen have slews of girls willing to be their armcandy. You have an advantage if you are not fat/old looking white man, you really do, and you're the one letting some bitches opinions stop you. So sorry if you're ugly and someone automatically assumes you're a predator, that's a given, either buck up and learn to dress up and ignore people or give up. We're not here to play patty cake and pat your ass the entire way. Other people's opinions are not your business, it's your money, so if you think I'm picking on you then whatever.

>>8894795Not according to several qualified doctors and dermatologists.
>>8894779Mine has eczema, I know how irritating and painful it is to hear them pick/tear at skin.If it's not e/p or diagnosed, it could be an issue that's being exacerbated by him picking at it. I would bet if he managed to leave it alone for a month and avoided things that would cause drying(ex long hot showers) it would improve.As far as exfoliating and moisturizing went, coconut oil and oatmeal helped my boyfriend(did nothing for the itch, but he wasn't flaking and smelled delicious). I'm not a "natural nut", but in delicate cases your standard OTC products probably won't do much to help.Too much constant steroid use can also make it worse, which sucks.
>>8894802>several qualified doctors and dermatologists still cant determine what it is and find the right treatment for ituh huh.
>>8894729I tried the Neutrogena light cleansing oil in the blue bottle last year. After using it for a few weeks, and trying the double cleansing method, I decided it wasn't for me. It took off all my makeup nicely, and my skin was dewy (bordering on greasy), but it broke me out. I don't do well with mineral oil, maybe? I also tried Simple Micellar water, but it seemed to break me out too. I'll look for the Holika gel. Thanks! >>8894762I preface this by saying I'm not trying to be salty, but using a baby wipe and then my cleanser has done the least amount of damage thus far. Over the years I have tried things like Ponds or Noxema or the Neutrogena makeup remover, and they either made me itchy, or broke me out. I know it's not a good choice, which is why I'm asking for help. It's just what's working right now. If you have specific suggestions, I'm open to them. I can Google this shit all day, but it doesn't help me in terms of how to apply the product to my skin type or knowing what precautionary measures to take. Sorry. I'm not dumb, I just don't know what's better. >>8894772Time between products and one at a time is the rule I always try to follow. Everything listed are products I have been using for at least a few months, except the toner, which I just added this week. I'll add it to my morning routine too, thanks for the direction. I'll also look at Cerave. I'm not sure why the Cetaphil didn't work for me, but it was the only product I had changed or added during that time period, and the problem stopped when I went back to my old cleanser. This was two or three years ago, though. Not terribly recent. I changed my regimine from Neutrogena to Aveeno in September of 2015, but haven't made any other modifications.
>>8894779If you're sure it's not some sort of infection, fungal or otherwise, try lanolin. It's in nipple cream, and does wonders for dried and cracked skin.
Post here if you take commissions or want to request a commission. If taking requests, post a couple examples of your work.If requesting, post your measurements and a reference picture of your request.
>>8894311Certainly; I do my sewing work out of my own home, too. But $300-$500 range is generally what you pay if you go to a professional alterations shop, which is why I mentioned it. My wedding gown alterations were $500 at a shop, and even as someone who has worked as a professional tailor before I preferred to pay someone else to do it. That was a fair shop price for the work it needed, and given the extent of the work, the importance, and the price of the gown, I was also willing to pay that for the security of going to established business with a storefront versus someone who worked out of their home.
>>8893894The thing is, I posted all of that. If someone was interested, they'd have contacted me already. Its not unreasonable that id be a bit upset that I've found no one despite posting all the right information across many sites. And it's also not unreasonable that I won't clarify which post is mine when people are jumping down my throat for expressing so.
Any recs for a jedi robe commission? I figure I'd ask here for leads first before trying to sort through all the Star Wars costuming resources.
>>8894641Check the 501st. Tons of resources and commissioners.
>>8894315bodyline has them tho
Old one in autosage >8887848Post feels.
feels when I started a new really strict skincare routine to cure my back, arm and chest acne in the new year; I get good results and start getting excited and make a backless, bare armed cosplay only to have it come back EVEN WORSE and on my once clear face after getting the contraceptive rod put in, on top of that also getting thicker body hair...everywhere. Pretty much ruining all of my cosplay dreams
>Go to schools entrace exam>There is at least these people:>Gothic lolita>Might-be-lolita>Steampunk lady>Anime gal wearing AoT hoodie>Cat-eared ita>Pass the exams>Never see any of them again
>Starts Lolita comm.>Buncha people join (All nice, friendly).> Happy at first but then realizes no one owns or buys Lolita stuff. Ever.> Group insists they "identify" as Lolita>Sits at 10+ people gatherings and is the only one in Lolita for two + years running.
>>8894663Shit. There was a girl just like that in my old comm. She also claimed to have back problems, so driving farther than 30 minutes was impossible without breaks, and she HAD to drive long distances, to make sure we didn't go on highways. Drove/rode with her in the car twice, then never again.
one of my friends bought and sent me an accessory i've wanted for ages for my birthday, and i'm so super happy that someone cares for me as much as she doesam buying some stuff now to send her as thanks, but i don't know if it'll convey how much i appreciate her
As a murcan, I've always been curious as to what anime conventions are like outside of the US.How would you describe the conventions in your country?I've always been super interested in visiting Brazil, Russia, and the UK
>>8894271>No panels.>Nobody interested in panels either.what? what do you guys even do?
>>8894506This makes me so depressed...
>>8894506does this also apply to AnimeFriends?
>>8894551You hang with friends and shop? Panels are like shit in the UK so no one really ever bothers with them, gives more time for photos + generally trying to hunt down everyone you know
>>8894506I am moving to rural MG next year (from Australia) so I had pretty much abandoned the idea of ever cosplaying again, this hasn't really changed my mind. Looking at the CCXP website though, I am surprised by how many major guests are attending. It looks to be on the same level to some of the US or European cons - more impressive than anything we have in Australia anyway.What's the average age like for cosplayers and con attendance in Brazil? Is it considered creepy for older people (say college graduates and above) to participate?
Exactly 2 weeks until the con. how's everyone planning on spending their weekend? and what did y'all think of the date changing this year?
>>8893842they had concessions open last year too,maybe they'll be open again this year so thats an option. >>8893833their volunteers are just random con-goers that want their badges refunded so they don't actually know a single thing about the con. They basically just stand at a door and check badges.
>V. Wi-fi and Electricity are not provided.why kami-con, why.
Glad to see that someone made another Kami thread. I'm looking forward to the Richard Epcar's panels, and the Kazha concert. Also going to try out for Anime Jeopardy (which I am surprised to learn is not until Sunday).God, I hope the dealers room is in a different place this year. The location last year was weird.
>>8887357I don't like the date change and it is the reason I am not going this year. I like them to be my Feb con, the con i can wear bulky hot cosplays to and just walk outside to cool down. It's too close to MTAC dates now. Also the guests don't tickle any fancy for me this year.
>>8894822Kind of a petty reason to not go, lol."You moved it up two weeks! Fuck you!"Also, it's actually been cold as balls here in the BMA (at least in the evening).
Post/Discuss CoF CoordinatesOld thread: >>8879900
>>8894725I didn't say it on the basis of the nose alone. I am a girl with a big nose myself. It's the combination of features.
What's with this recent trend of accusing girls of being boys/MTFs? It happened to Ukraine in the selfpost thread too. Not having traditional feminine features doesn't make someone a boy. Also it's like we can never win>thick legsONLY BOYS HAVE MUSCULAR LEGS!!1!>thin legsONLY BOYS HAVE GANGLY LEGS!!1!
>>8894792This, it's not just his/her nose. Her/His jaw is also really square, the thin lips and smallish eyes also contribute to the masculine appearance.
>>8891234I like her floordinates much better, her face always looks bad in photos and she has this horrible habit of putting a certain filter on her IG photos which makes it look kind of grey and dirty.
>>8894809what handles does she use or what are her social media accounts?
I want to see all the cute shit everyone's received!
KM from NV, I received your package today! But I'm trying to abstain from opening it since I haven't sent out your gift yet, I would feel guilty otherwise.
>>8894568I'm sorry for the shitty packaging! My university mailed/packaged it.
>>8894661Oh, the packaging is totally fine! Whatever's inside seems to be unscathed. I'm surprised that you (or your university?) used FedEx Express, actually. I feel like sending internationally must be pricey.
>>8894705My uni loves making things expensive for its students.
MD I just got your gift and I absolutely love it! I always talked myself out of buying a giant plush of my husbando and you actually got me one! Thank you so much!
