Are you supposed to seal Rustoleum? I was told originally that EVA foam with plastidip + a rustoleaum primer+paint wouldn't need to be sealed, and by and large the colour has held up well, but over time a thin film does come off and is pretty noticeable on my fingertips etc. Should I be going over it with something else before I wear it the next time?
I figured I'd make one. I only ever come back for cons I'm going to. Any of you men going? Yeah I know it's expensive. And mostly drunk. But I enjoy the atmosphere and laying by the pool during the day. I've been serious on the diet and exercise train. Should be looking good enough for my Krauser cosplay in a month.
>>10911699Let's set a new record anon! Me and my homies love SA's!Sick animes are great in general.
>>10911702Even if I needed a spot this year, I wouldn't have bothered with the Facebook group. They never answered anyone, and it got too sad after a while, watching all the "I'm not even desperate bro" posts
>>10911702Nah, I got plenty of money to spend. To pay for our rooms if we get openings. If anyone here is selling a room from Thursday night -sunday morning I'm down to put good money or it.
if you need a free room just go to the closest villa by the road that one last year was easy to walk in and drink for free and eat their food they didn't say anything when we walked away with 12 shots
>>10911682Comfortable bed aside, not having a hotel room means not having a shower for several days.Absolutely fucking disgusting.
another attempt at an appreciation thread to discuss this beautiful Austrian cosplayer. things to discuss:>her cosplay>her gravure sets>photos she herself poststhings not to discuss:>her nudes>drama>her flaws
>>10910163that anon is triggered because she doesn't just spend all her money on useless shit but also invested some of it.
she cute
>>10911817Very. I guess she has something in the works.
>>10911829a JAV?
>>10911844Yeah, mine.
last one hit bump limit
>>10911859You didn't even actually look through his social media and made a very wrong generalization about what he posts, and now you're saying people are sperging because they're calling you dumb? This isn't excitement. This is a normal day on /cgl/
>>10911859i get what you're saying nonna, but even when you look exclusively in google images, it's still weird. notice how all the lolita photos are taken at a very low angle, just shy of an actual upskirt creep shot.
It's obviously a troll
>>10911886God I hope so. I just googled him to check whether what they just said was even true and all but like two things that immediately came up were so obviously fetish content. I worry about that anon's ability to protect themselves if they aren't trolling.
>>10911814>"kinda cool"The very first image that appears upon googling him is this, complete with comments about sissy and infantilization kinks. I won't even disgrace my computer with downloading it nor your eyes by forcing you all to see it, but here's the link https://www.flickr.com/photos/30788655@N08/50113702977
Well hello, Florida Seagulls. It's been a slower year here, but I know you're out there and you know I'm out there. Our local scene keeps on with one location change after the other doesn't it?

>>10911841OK, good. You don't have to be a *completely* smarmy cunt. Cause otherwise, I was gonna leave it at that. In those 50+ cons, there were ones run by university anime clubs and held in the library that felt more professional.>Your payment methodYeah, any form of card payment at all. I could have even overlooked that but "service fee" for Zelle is the one that really made me suspicious. Superfancon isn't great either, but there was one one year they held it at Xtreme Action Park which is something different. So yeah, I'm not gonna go to bat for subpar trash where it feels like vendors outnumber attendees
>>10911849You're complaining and getting about a small event that might be for only 200 people on 4chan. Nothing you said implies or shows proof of a scam. Don't attend if you don't care for the con, and don't call things a scam because you have some tinfoil logic
>>10911698I when to Orlando Anime Day with some other gulls and we had a good time.
I am trying to hit a lot of cons in Florida this year. Anyone willing to trade a spot in their hotel room for bartending services? I can mix some drinks.
>>10911918It's a small one day type of gig.
May 17-19, 2024Are you going for the whole weekend?What are you cosplaying?Is your cosplay done or are you con crunching?Are you hosting a panel or working a booth?Going to the rave?Favorite part of the con?Any other activities you’re looking forward to?
>>10911867 true i usually style my own wigs because the same thing happened to me its not that hard i think its more fun ngl
>>10911846https://fb.me/e/3h416U76u
I am a vendor at C2E2 right now, my first real convention.I looked at going to Anime Central and decided against it - I'm glad I did, this thread is embarrassing.
>>10911906isn't minki a snitch
>>10911906Thanks! Are they ok with people from 4chan?
It really really really sucks when you find a cosplayer who is genuinely cute (left) but then photoshops their face into looking like aliens (right)Please please please for the love of god rely less on editing
>>10909875It tastefully covers her armpit.
>>10909869Id bang an old lady.
>>10909869didn't know shoop works irl too. What a time to be alive.Also if you can't tell if something is shooped to hell and back you deserve to be disappointed by reality.
>>10909866On the other hand, there's a tendency for people to overblow how edited Asian cosplayers are on Western media. North-east Asian cosplayers obviously have the superior facial features to match the appearance of typical anime girls, so a big part of that is self comforting/cope from those with Caucasoid features that don't want to believe it. Understandable, since if you ever go to a cosplay event in East Asia, the difference in authenticity is very stark. Some of those cosplayers look literally like an anime girl come to life, something that you will basically never see in the West.
>>10911914well, looky here if this isn't bait
Recently I got a crush on slav women, they're fucking goddessesName: ksana stankevich
>>10910611Personally I like it better when the bra fits.
Anime and manga artists obviously base their female characters off of slavic women's faces and now they provide us with the best takes on those characters. As Elton said, It's The Circle Of Cosplay. They also look the most elfin.
>>10911479
>>10911479Idk anon, every woman posted in this thread has a big Caucasian nose, protruding caveman brow ridge and deep-set sunken eyes. Pretty sure that anime and manga artists design their characters to specifically ERASE those features.I get that you're comforting yourself through the tactic of cope, but at least open your eyes and see whats literally in front of you on your screen, lmao.
>>10834168>>10834170This girl showed up on a Japanese show where they randomly interview foreigners walking by. On the show her face was really blurred like in her photos, but her real face looks insanely different, basically no correlation to her shopped photos.Its kind of cute seeing Japanese comments on her Youtube videos shocked at how different she looks. Basically politely calling her a gorilla in the most Japanese way possible. Hope she never translated those comments, lol.

post hideous dresses
>>10907026It looks like a black trans dick intruding upon the rest of the flag, a good metaphor for reality.
>>10904276i like the maleficent series from aatp, at least in terms of design. haven't seen it in person so unsure on the quality.
>>10904594holy shit this is awful. i love it. i'd buy it if i came across it
Not ugly, but I swear every single person who's new to lolita owns this thing and I'm getting sick of seeing it in beginner's coords without a blouse, a petticoat, shit accessories (if they're even wearing any) and shit shoes.
>>10911909the brand name itself is hideous
Anime North is only a month away, anyone else going but not buying a ticket this year?
>>10911875I'm not an ironic weeb. I just ended up dropping everything i picked up this cour
>>10911880kys ironic weeb
>>10911860are you jelqer
>>10911898Will there be jelqing in the truck?
>>10911905Yes, jelqing and gooning all night long.
What's the best community? If you could just magically wake up already living in the city with the comm of your choice, where would it be and why?Are there any comms that you feel are too far gone and better left given up on to dissolve by their own internal squabbling?
Phoenix unironically.
>>10911876ayrt, and yes, me too. That's why I prefer the current year for anime. I prefer having multiple great animes to watch every season over having one or none.
>>10911891But you're wrong. What "great anime" came out last season?
>>10911872>she thinks all cartoons are for kidskek. this thread is fucking garbage anyway, who cares.
>>10911900Have you watched anime this and last season?
I lost my nail inspo folder on my old pc so I'm starting with a mini dump in hopes of other anons dumping as well :)
>>10906769nah, it’s a hand deformity
cute thread, I'll bump
>>10906818I've done it a few times but they're pretty sloppy. Look okay from far away though.
>>10911899You color matched that grey perfectly and I think the cross looks really nice
