Trap HereI'm planing on cosplaying Goth 2B soon and I'm looking for shiny boots similar to the ones on the pic on the right, that are in a mans size. I also want to find better fake boobs than the ones i currently use. Preferably latex without being too huge, I don't want to look like an obvious troon or those shitty crossplayers. Make up will be done by my gf.
>>10972121>you were just looking at the crossplay onesi mean most of the other ones weren't of much use in my predicament, but fair
>>10969479would you cosplay 9S for me?
>>10972466no i think his design looks stupid
>>10972474Would you do it for anon if you didn't think the design was stupid?
>>10972474whatever, you’re a hag and you could never pretend to be YoRHa model 9 type S (the S stands for [Shota]
To counteract all the moids here and the overwhelming spamming of slutty girls, here's a thread dedicated to the cuties who cosplay. Emphasis on the "cute" part. Bodybuilders cosplaying just to show off their abs are just as bad as the girls who only do it for onlyfans.
>>10961519so what
>>10956330Bingus is a afab woman, not even ftm
>>10879519Good. We need more of them.
What are your thoughts on these cosplayers?
>>10968375my man you didn't even bother to change the filename
>>10968375Not bad but I have seen Gumball and Darwin going harder than some high profile singing Hazbin Hotel ones.
They look like they’re having fun
>Ctrl+f>No momocon 2026 thread.Let's fix that! What's your plans and cosplans? Any panels you're looking forward to? Guest? Events? Seems like the guest list and events this year is hella stacked.
orgies, orgies everywhere
>>10972080>I took a bunch of photos with my film camera. Ill post em once developed.Thank God.
I got to take a picture with my waifu :)
>>10972117I learned that, I added extra little scenes thinking that there wouldnt be enough, turns out its the opposite! The players always took their time (not a problem) and did a lot of impromptu roleplay. Another is how big the parties were. I am hard limiting to 4-6 players next time. This time it was 2 players dominate the game and the others have middling or no impact. Things to learn for next year.
Did anyone else get a pair of chicks surprise dropping cutesy little plastic figures while in the arcade saturday night? I'm guessing it was an invitation or something but I was running on two hours of sleep at that point.
I made my own Rise Kujikawa cosplay from persona 4 dancing all night, it was my first big sewing project and I had a of of fun with it!!!

Blue dominant coords are the best coords!
I don't tend to save other peoples cords so this is from an ad I think, but I just like the simplicity,t he gobelin fabric, and the boots. Lolita boots are the cutest.>>10972386Adorable! Matching skirt/jackets sets are so great.
>>10972382
Okay really what do we do with these fine people gone? Where has everyone started shopping at since they closed? The convenience they offered by having local stores to sample fabrics in person instead of ordering online hoping the color and material works was a blessing and I am lost without them
>>10972341Usually online though I'd be careful with using online stores as they're usually a flip of a coin between legit items and downright scams.
>>10972341I used to work at Michaels when joann's shut some of the customers immediately went to our store thinking their shit was there or we where going to take over their locations. many still complain that their gone.
>>10972341Reminder: You do not hate private equity enough.
>>10972347They have a tiny ass isle of "the basics", that also happens to be located in a Wal-Mart.
>>10972349CRE rent hikes post Covid basically crushed these kinds of businesses

>>10968760it's not much*
this thread is so dead, shame /cgl/ isn't what it used to be.
I remember a random post about wondering if older series would ever sell and I mentioned I would love to do a Fatal Frame print and another anon said they would be elated if they ever saw Fatal Frame stuff. Now with the remake out, maybe more people could get exposed to it.That said, what older series would you like to do art for or would love to see?
How updated is this list? I think I see some dead links. I want to see what's considered best for book printing.
Meta thread. Let's discuss what the fuck has been happening to and within the culture of EGL.Some questions and thoughts that have been on my mind below, reply if you want or bring up your own ideas to discuss. -Why is ita mostly dying as an insult? Are we not using it enough, or is it past it's time?-Brand whore as a concept nearly disappearing in the west-gooning and its effects on our psychology, how it has stopped many of us from posting publicly-Ero is back, and becoming popular, but why? Male infiltration, or are we finally reclaiming ero as a community? -is Lolita even a community anymore?-is the jirai culture online our fault?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>10972302>Why is ita mostly dying as an insult? Are we not using it enough, or is it past it's time?My personal theory is that - particularly in American EGL culture - Conservatives and Democrats both participate in the fashion, but there's a definitive push from the left towards inclusivity, which translates to zero criticism of poorly disguised trans and by extension itas. In contrast, conservatives don't appreciate values that don't apply to them being pushed on them, and in the worst cases they lash out and end up banned or ostracized by local comms. Especially in the trans space there is evidence of abuse from predatory males, which makes it all the worse for genuinely transitioning individuals who want to find their community.Constructive criticism has been prevalent in the EGL space for a long time, as it has been proven to be one of the most difficult fashions to "pull off" and one needs a strong sense of proportion, color theory, and visual knowledge of the fashion's history consistently create successful coordinates. However, constructive criticism has gained a poor reputation after the popup of gossip sites, and the idea of publicly shaming peoples' coordinates has obviously pushed people away from the space, or at least participating in the space publicly. If you're wondering why you're seeing less gossip online, it's because no one wants their shit smeared online.Let's say we move away from the "safe space" mentality towards one of constructive criticism with the intention of genuinely helping itas develop their sense of style. No matter where they come from, itas are typically newcomers to the fashion and could use a kind word of advice when requested. And should they never improve, every person has the right to freely associate with whomever they choose to.
>>10972360>Brand whore as a concept nearly disappearing in the westI disagree, it's just a generational difference where millennials still value classic brands and zoomers have fewer resources and therefore choose more affordable options. Devil Inspired and other crappy brands also advertise way more on social media sites, versus AP, Meta, and BtSSB secretly requiring more money and effort to acquire.>gooning and its effects on our psychology, how it has stopped many of us from posting publiclyGooning sucks for sure but try avoiding your family and co-workers find your coords insta. Nearly impossible to keep accounts private with Meta's suggestion algorithm. Easy to get rid of and block unwanted strangers but when someone you know sees your ero or full goth coord when they're not used to it opens up the floodgates of annoying comments.>Ero is back, and becoming popular, but why? Male infiltration, or are we finally reclaiming ero as a community?Especially in con scenes but additionally in clubs, festivals, and etc. slut culture is in full swing. Ladies in barely there booty shorts, showing tummy and leaving little to the imagination. Ero lolita is the sexy option for ladies who still primarily "cover up" - and I'm happy that a refined, yet still sexy option exists for EGL wearers.>is Lolita even a community anymore?Are you my community? TF you mean? Find people on Insta and Discord and try being a friend instead of a salty bitch.
>>10972360I want to be inclusive and super lib but my lived experience of interacting with trans individuals has always been eventually negative. Men are socialized a lot differently growing up, so when I treat a trans girl like a girl and give them a compliment on their appearance, the male socialization kicks in like a sleeper agent and they take it as flirting and it gets weird, when girls just... compliment each other sometimes??? Or if they're in a relationship, the vibe will be so foul and they'll be really passive aggressive towards cis women/anyone they're not dating. When all that comes pre-loaded in a conversation, even mentioning that they could be ita is a fucking minefield
>>10972361>Find people on Insta and Discord and try being a friend instead of a salty bitch.I don't think they're asking this in a salty way, I think they are genuinely asking considering how /cgl/'s traffic has plummeted and the old places the lolita community used to use (the EGL livejournal group, facebook groups) have also died out.
>>10972363>I want to be inclusive and super libJust give up with that sentiment and admit that conservative/rw women were right about this. The big problem with lolita comms (at least western) is that it’s too inclusive and left wing. Lolitas complain about men in comms since there have been cases of men being creepy in meets but then are more than happy to let in trans women (men) in their comms, make it make sense. Not trying to be an asshole or say that you should lash out at transppl like a retard but I keep hearing about these unfortunate experiences with trans women everytime and female lolitas need to stop being afraid of backlash and just be more honest about the trans question.
Can we have one of those price check threads again? Personally I’ve quit lolita quite some time ago with many pieces just sitting in my closet (mostly moitie) and now that I want to sell my stuff I have no idea what’s the market value of all of it. For example, how much could I get for the Chandelier JSK in black x white? Also, if you have any tips on how to price things that would be greatly appreciated!
The best way honestly will be to put it on LM and auction it off. Moitie, especially pre 2018 stuff, has skyrocketed in price. If you own stuff that is fully shirred or pretty old/rare it can get to be insane if some collectors try for it. Crosscheck LM for starting pricing of stuff, put the effort into taking nice photos. Something like the Chandelier jsk is likely worth about 500 usd I think.
Also curious, as I have a 2012 Baby, the Stars Sweet Cherry and Berry JSK and Head Bow Set, Metamorphose wrist cuffs, and a 2019 Baby, the Stars Shine Bright Sweetie Gingham JSK and Head Bow set that I'd love to find new homes forWould love to sell them all together, but I don't know what to list them for

>>10970013if youre make another cosplay pls include MOAR butt pics
>>10967641>>10967638Damn, that's a great booty. Honestly the nicest ITT. Thanks for sharing.
>>10970804second, the mASS is quiet some
Hii first time posting on this board but I’ve seen others show their cosplays on here so I wanted to show my best picture I have. It was taken professionally by a stranger on a convention last month
>>10969281yeah, is kinda sad the state of things. smoothing skin here, a bit of relighting there, sureI just still hate the douyinslop makeup gimmicks of trying to make your head look half the size through filters. Done to a modest level it looks fine irl, you can just always tell when its done explicitly for the sole intent of living through a filter, bitch just do photos at a studio at that point
is it acceptable to make a thread on this board to try to identify a cosplayer? Didn't see anything about it in the rules, and never posted on this board beforePS: wtf is up with these captchas
>>10970721>she farted so hard she did a backflip
>>10944756Do we have 9S cosplays?
She is low tier compared to some chineses and japaneses.But when compared to americans she is pretty good.Most of the female americans are fat and ugly.
>>10965083Emiru is good but Belle Delphine is the best cosplayer in the world
Wait, Emiru as in "homeless Tifa"?
>>10965129Is he fat old and balding?
>>10965086Quality ? Are you retarded? That’s clearly an Amazon plug suit plus an unstyled wig straight from the bag. You just like her face.
>>10965755Hate to break it to you anon but she's 30 years old and has an active sex life. Aint nothing pure about that pussy no more.
Do you guys ever like to go through YouTube and watch con and cosplay fandom videos from before the 2010's?It's a hobby of mine. It makes me sad.https://youtu.be/vc2Zj1C_uKY
>>10967777>>10967778Wow there, ease up on the hate, bitch. I never said I'm happy that normies invade cons. I like anime and I'm a nerd and I like people who have sewed their costume or show otherwise effort and are nice. My point was that everyone doomposting about big cons is forgetting that there are a lot of chill places still.>getting into anime, cons, and cosplay before it went mainstreamDon't tell people what hobbies to have, moron, and those were the best times, precisely because the hobby was free from normies. Most likely free from you as well.
>>10882742>people who've been doing cons since before 2009 still kind of sideeye animecons.comNot being a con person and never having gone to them I don't know why, I only ever used them for con photos.
>>10954711>unironically said it's one of the most political animes out thereHasanabi is a massive retard and the voting populace needs to be screen for autism if they actually take away real life political messages in fucking one piece.
>>10967847an imminently fair criticism, but even those people aren't really all that different. Even without the social media presence, people still do that social thing of wanting to appear important/cool at least as much as actually having fun. That sort of behavior totally predates tiktok>>10967834>Not being a con person and never having gone to them I don't know why, I only ever used them for con photos.Its kinda related to what >>10967847 was talking about. There's doing stuff for the love, and there's doing stuff for ancillary reasons. clout, networking, set up gatekeeping, imagined authority, etc etc. After the biggest cons either hit 10 years or crossed about 20,000 people, all sorts of websites and community chains started popping up. Some were genuine, some... did not feel as genuine.
