I know Tokyo Mew Mew cosplays became very popular after the manga came out in america and of course the crappy English dub, but was Tokyo Mew Mew a popular cosplay to do before the manga came out? This would've been 2002.
>>10977560Mew mew cosplayers were popular because of the coke.
Why post pictures if you're gonna pose and edit in a way where we can see literally nothing? You look like an unshapely pastel blob.
>>10977232Nah, any coord using an Amazon/shein dress is ugly and ita by default.
>>10977227somebody shop in an uggo face, to see if I have cute bias on lolita vs ita

What are your rare, unconventional or unpopular opinions in lolita fashion? I don’t like when girls wear gold tea parties in coords that have no gold in them, I see this particularly in sweet lolita and it gives off the same vibe as when itas wear white blouses with dresses that have no white in them, it just ruins the coord. Pic unrelated.
>>10976916yes let's heavily police staying perfectly on topic on a board with 3 posts per day
>>10974851I might be overthinking it but I think it has something to do with the attainability of the look.Not the affordability, the difference matters.We're now almost a decade into easily accessible taobao buyers and dedicated platforms, meaning everyone can have easy access to the wonders of completely costless chinese manufacture. Cheap production PLUS the sometimes dubious tastes of the domestic chinese market has resulted in the type of overdone princess-y dresses we've all seen folating here and there. Layers of see-through voiles, ruffles on top of bows on top of lace on top of ribbons that's going to look nice on the product shoot with studio lighting and a fan to keep the ethereal upper sheer layers all floaty. And it's going to look completely dull in person and be almost impossible to wear for anything other than posing with your arms up.In contrast, with oldschool, what you see is exactly what you get.There's no worries about how this layer will look in person because the build is a lot simpler. Not necessarily simple, but simpler than the overdesigned piles of frills we've seen pop up as hime styles. You know you can get close to the look you are presented with. Even the makeup doesn't require fifteen steps to make your eyes look larger (we're talking about chinese-influenced stuff, keep that in mind, the noob might not know it going off the product photos they are presented with but there is a huge difference between the type of results chinese and japanese practices and trends). It's something YOU can do.As a pre-packaged look, it can be very when you're two or three taobao disappointments in and haven't figured how to really build your own coords yet.WellThat or zoom-zooms fantasizing about the 2000s again. The lolita version of y2k I guess
I have print fatigue.I want to see more experiments in construction instead of prints being the highlight.
>>10977105The beauty of the old Moitie among other things is about their exploration of the silhouettes other than already standard cupcake. If pic related wasn’t from Moitie people would probably call it non-lolita/ normie dress, yet this variation is actually novice and refreshing.
I'll take high-effort trannylitas and brolitas over excuse-generators (I can't wear appropriate shoes because my ankles hurt, I can't buy a petti because it's too expensive, I can't wear a wig because I keep damaging my hair with shitty dye jobs, you know the type) and fatties.Low-effort troons and guys can fuck off forever. If you can't learn to hide your chin shadow and neckbeard that's lack of dedication and effort. Go away.
Like all things, normies ruin it.Back then people would go there because they actually loved animanga/comics.They would try their hardest to find passable costumes and make their own accessories, and even if it didn't look good, you would know they they put a lot of heart into it.They were quirky and fun and really played into the character they was cosplaying.They used to join in community activates, dance, really be an otaku, just watch anime together, etc, etc.And even if they were really shy (which they mostly were), they would still be there, for the love of mediumNow.The people going there were (would be) the same people mocking/bullying you for liking it.The people going there have only watched 2 anime and larped the rest.The people going there are the same obnoxious normies you would come there to get away from.The cosplays now are just an excuse to dress like a whore and a slut, they would purposely chose the outfits which are the most reviling, showing off 80% of their bodies and having their ass out.I fucking hate them, they ruin literally everting.Comment too long.

>>10976073you make many good points
>>10976073OK but has that made finding cosplay whores easier? Can I just walk up to a girl and offer her a couple thousand dollars or?
>>10977569>Can I just walk up to a girl and offer her a couple thousand dollars or?Even OF girls wouldn't take that. I've only seen two women at a con fishing for clients while in bunnygirl outfits, but clearly it didn't work, because they angrily stormed off from the later rave

Old thread is capped >>10868636This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheetThis is broken, now.

>>10976324These look like pretty solid first choices anon.Your first coord is will almost always have things to improve but unless you have a first coord, you will never be able to improve upon it.Do your best, ask for feedback and you'll look just fine!Post coord once you get it!
could I get some advice on wigs please? I've never worn one before but I keep seeing people on IG without them and it's...bad. Never bought a wig before, don't know anything about them. Should I get some from 42lolita and endure the long leadup and shipping costs or try epic cosplay wigs? I am male
>>10976697i have not bought wigs in years, so i do not know what the current market is like. however, gender matters less than head size. if you have a larger head, make sure any chinese based sellers have measurements listed. having to stretch a wig over too much cranium can make it look thin and patchy.
>>10976697Whatever wig you get, please take it to the hairdresser and have them cut it. Especially if it comes with the uncut long bangs.
>no aatp release all seasonchat are we cooked?
reviving bc the previous thread from a while ago got nukedwhat's everyone's thoughts on cosplay photography in 2024/the foreseeable future? it seems like the amount of bullshit we have to put up with as photographers in the cosplay scene only increases day by day and the cons outweigh the pros
>>10969031i love xiaohongshu and chinese cosplayers. they look so good
>>10969022I was at a con last year, went out for a smoke, and a perfect silent hill nurse sat down on the bench next to me, half rolled up her mask and was eating a chik-fil-a sandwich out of the box. I regret not getting a shot, it was iconic
>>10973814Taking pictures of cosplayers while they're eating is rude. Unless you get their permission, don't do that shit.

Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?Or is this another Switzerland specialty where everybody hates socializing?OR is it because I'm male?How do you even make friends at a con?I went to a convention as Chainsaw Man last October and while over 20 people asked me for a pic, nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people. There's another convention coming up next month and I'm not sure if I wanna go get photographed and go back home all alone with no new contacts or friends again.
What am I supposed to say other than compliment the cosplay? I already feel awkard asking for a photo with a stranger.
>>10908990>Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?Yes. I remember this always being the norm since I started going to cons back in the late 2000'sYou're sounding like one of those old people who pretend everyone used to be nice and openly talk to each other on the subway until those evil smart phones came along
>>10971179it's how i ended up in a couple of my relationships
>>10908990>another Switzerland specialtySmall talk doesnt exist in Switzerland. Especially on the german side. Not to mention conventions clash between english german and french, plus other foreigners and guests, so typical interaction is asking photo complimenting and going your way. Best way to socialize is finding other cosplayer of the same serie and see if you can stick with them but be ready to feel like a third wheel until you manage to get accustomed to how their group works. Unless you randomly strike as someone's absolute favorite character there's no way a random will stick around. That's another thing too, small talk don't exist and we also don't need more friends, so everyone is contempt of just being complimented and left alone. Other option is joining cosplay groups, switzerland has the "swiss cosplay family", although it originated from the french side they're going around and are very open.
What is the best way to get a gf cosplayer that is cute?Should I say: "wow, you are so cute, you look like a real life version of the character. do you have an instagram account to follow"If she replies: "yes", then she is an attention whore.If she replies: "no I don't use social media", then she is marriage material?BTW: The fat ugly ones i'm not interested at all.
WHO IS YOUR OSHIWHO HAVE YOU SEEN LIVE AND HOW DID THEY DOWHO HAS THE BEST ORIGINAL MUSIC
>>10977518I agree. It also helps that every member has been a part of different kaigai idol groups since 2020 and earlier. Before Dreamtique, they've had years of dancing, performing live, recording vocals, and making music videos in a group dynamic.
Im surprised no one has said anything about 4TEs return. What a blast from the past
>>10977525Only unfortunate thing is how none of them have star power. Boring.
>>10977536That's fine. They are just a cute trio. With no one having star power, no one has solo potential which means they will remain a group for the forseeable future. I think Pepper is the strongest in the group as a performer (stage presence, vocals, dance, looks) but I couldn't imagine her going solo long term. Just being a good center role in the trio.

What do you think of kids at cons? Good? Bad?Should more cons ban them, I've noticed actual porn stars at Comic Con dressed very revealing and selling their stuff there so maybe that should go 18+
>>10947633Mostly bad, but I do think they deserve the enjoyment of a con. I say bad because I keep seeing my current interest being cosplayed by children. I want to take a pic with all those cosplayers but not the minors
>>10947633I went to cons when I was 12 back in 2009. Had a great time
>>10974210Your a susser
>>10977493Are you sure? Anon seems perfectly innocent
>>10947633kids have the right to exist in society just like anyone else. I understand people who are worried about weirdoes interacting with them but honestly it's super cute to see kids dressed up as pokemon with their parentsi'd take them over the sweaty oxygen tube people
A member of our con staff got arrested at the con, and still nobody knows why. He was walked out yelling "That was YEARS ago!"In happier news, I was in the hospital with appendicitis and my bf came to visit me dressed as Shinji Ikari. The nurse with Tokyo Mewmew tatts thought it was hilarious.
walking by vtuber virtual meet ups because was too shy to get a ticket and wait in line.
>>10975209FUCK those are some nice tits.
Thanks to the movie, we are gonna see more Street Fighter characters at cons. I can bust out my Guy.
Are good feels allowed>Taking trek back to car>buff jogger notices me>oh shit are you supposed to be from X?>Stops to get a pic with me.
I continued on my cosplay a little bitA "little" bit
Because why notConnichi is around the corner - September 5 to 7 in Wiesbaden. Anyone going?Tell us about your con visits, your plans for the next months, cosplay struggles and everything else!Not sure where to go next?

>>10977316Yeah, pick a stand, ill keep you company
>>10977318Just meet me outside after the QA. I'm the RE4 Leon.
Hurry up fag, it's cold.
I'm on my way home now. Thanks for hanging out. It was fun and a great day in general. I also really liked your buddy's LOGH cosplay. See you around.
I continued a little bit on my cosplayA "little" bit>>10977324Someone did a LOGH cosplay last YuniConDamn, I should have visit it tooWell, at least I saw Takeo Ischi at Nerdiko
I have a black bodysuit and a 3d printer. Any ideas about what I can be for a family Halloween party?
>>10976938Mr. Game & Watch could be an easy option. Could get some black poster board / Velcro to make a head
>>10976938I'm probably too late but technically it's simple enough to still be made within 1 day.Pathologic Tragedian.White simple mask, black bodysuit.
>>10976938You could be a road centerline and pit two strips of yellow tape down your middle Might get a chuckle out of your boomer relatives

share images of your favourite maid cosplays, whether it be the cutest girls or the most fashionable and intricate designs.
>>10977102The eternal decades long question that no one will ever be able to answer because no one else makes them.
>>10977103My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
>>10977102>>10977103Make them. Maid costumes are easy as fuck compared to most cosplay shit.
>>10977132I am nosew :(I want to purchase one instead
>>10894894Good cosplay because I immediately recognized the character
It's about two weeks away. Any cosplans or lineups?
nero claudius and (hopefully) shion sonozaki are my current cosplans
>>10977459Don’t get me excited. I’ve enjoyed the GWCC AWAs but it belongs in the Galleria. Where are you hearing all this?
>>10977495courtneykeep in mind this is all overheard discussion shit so i wouldn't assume any thing's set in stone until it's written down
>>10977521I'll remain realistic but hopeful. Some of the last galleria AWAs were truly dreadful logistics-wise. Lines that took hours, crowded hallways, etc... The thing is, I felt like they had really improved all of this by the last one in 2023, as the lines were pretty fast and the venue didn't seem quite as crowded. From a logistics standpoint, the move to the GWCC makes sense, but I'll always prefer the feel of the waverly. If the issues with them could be worked out it would be great.
>>10977463>(hopefully) shion sonozakiYour priorities are messed up. Forget Nero.
