Is anyone going to get the first release from the new western indie, Murmures de Rubans? Putting their "faux fur" controversy aside. I think that this design isn't cohesive and needed a lot of editing before they put it into production. Looking at the samples, I wouldn't buy it as is. I feel the same about a lot of Lady Sloth releases. I'm not even talking about manufacturing quality here, why are western brands designs aesthetically like this?
>>10973906the only people willing to try to be a western lolita brand are insane crazy people often have eccentric taste
I don't think there's a way to style this that won't be ita. The piece itself is ita out the gate
Western indie brands, especially new ones are usually just ran by some autists with a special interest. Sometimes they are just anime enjoyers so their designs are weirdly flashy and nonsensical. Also most of them don't have any idea what they're doing and end up getting in over their heads when their final products don't end up looking like the dress they drew.https://www.instagram.com/honeycathedralclothing
>>10975066excellent idea, poor execution. pick high quality materials and craft, pick a photographer that can at the very least manage to make your black hair stand out from your black head thingie, pick a super qt model, yes including qt lolita hair

>>10974362Dungeon Crawler Carl for sure. I will be one of the 1000 of them
>>10974172Any Guardians of the Galaxy/Cosmic Marvel cosplayers going this year? Planning to do Star-Lord again and would love to meet more fans of the movies and books, everyone I've met so far has been awesome.
>>10974764Yeah, that’s prob an easy one. Spider-Man just came out and that’s an easy store bought costume too. Maybe some Odyssey.>>10974854Dungeon Crawler Carl costumes have def been getting more common but until the tv show it prob won’t be THE costume of the year.
I was the guy who did Leeroy from Dark Souls last year. I recognize you, army man. I've spent the last 8 months doing this insanity, I have one more weekend in town to tackle it. All I need to do is finish the sword seams, blast it with spray paint, and rig the shoulders. Even have a cloak set up for it.
i will only be here for the last day :(staying at signia
5 months of the old thread and not much has happened.Summer cons have been and gone and once again everything is fundamentally different. I don’t think we’llGo back to pre lockdown glory.Ho hum.Theres a few more bits and pieces before con season is over but I cba looking them up this time.
>>10974935How bad was it? Seen fewer of the usual post-con photo dump posts on Instagram from Kita this year, and more people who previously attended skipping the con entirely
It wasn't too bad. Creeps galore as usual. Heard some disgusting comments coming from Jefferus again.I don't know he hasn't been banned from events yet.
>>1097503430 year old dead weight NHS worker unable to drop a beef
>>10975045Did you ever manage to lose that weight? I hear you can pay for it now
>>10975024Not that bad honestly. The really bad parts were mostly down to Warwick. They double booked the venue with a youth rugby league so there was a normie infestation and they also are knocking down a lot of the accommodation so much of it was unavailable. People were moved to Arthur Vick.From the con side they responded to the later by giving attendees an easy way to report the Rugby players and the uni to their credit was pretty responsive about dealing with them.The duck was also closed this year for a refurbishment which was not great. The union offered a replacement take-away duck but that kinda sucked.The bigger issue with the con was that you had like 5-6 quizes running any one night I get that it's down to whoever puts events down to have alternatives but at some point you gotta start culling them. They also inexplicably scheduled events for 60 minutes giving no gap to move between panels.Despite all this it was still better than 2024, though Kita hasn't sold out since the end of the pandemic.For the Warwick problems not sure what they can do, they can try moving but I know from other cons that finding venues is currently very hard. There aren't really many suitable venues once you get bigger than the smaller hotel cons Amecon has basically downsized permanently.More broadly most of the bigger fan cons in the UK need serious renewal in their committees, you can see the average attendee age each year and many committees have at some point expressed they are getting "too old" for it or dropping without anyone much younger replacing them this isn't a Kita issue though.
Who’s going? Who’s excited? Cosplay lineups.This is my 4th year going solo so I hope to be able to organize a meetup this year or something. This con has otherwise been enjoyable every year.September 3rd - September 6th, Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus Ohio.
I'm also going solo again, organizing a meetup would be nice. I met one of you a couple years ago, a surprising amount of you guys go to this one it seems. I'm always kinda surprised at how fun Matsuri is, even solo, I swear I like it more than Colossal anymore.
>>10974795i hope the rave is better this year, it was kinda lackluster compared to the previous 2 years.
>>10974839it could’ve been me you met anon!
>>10974897Oh I am almost certain it was you lmao. If I see you again this year you can have a drink on me homie.
They opened up an extra room block for the Hyatt I guess. Can't deice if I wanna cancel my room at the Sonesta for it but if you any of you care, shit's open. Would imagine the con is bigger this year too if they sold out of every room block to the point they had to open a whole extra one.
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

>>10975068Why are you so pissed off dude lol you're acting like i raped your family or something.
hihihi /cgl/, just here to get some thoughts down ^-^im waiting for a haruhi cosplay to arrive, but im kinda worried i wont look as cute as the other cosplayers i see on tiktok and elsewhere on the net. im sure this is a common thought, but its a big one nonetheless. i guess it sorta leans into my sense of imposter syndrome - i dont think confidence suits me at all. i think that the second someone looks at me in cosplay theyll know im faking something.when it all arrives i may post some pics here so yall can lmk what u think ^p^any thoughts or similar experiences ?
>>10972098>HarubinKEK! I'm surprised whoever was giving this out did not get sued and raped in court by Kadokawa.
>>10972507If I remember right, it was drawn by schoolchildren who liked Haruhi and was probably not worth their time.
>>10972510Honestly, that's probably why Kadokawa didn't sue. Then again, Japanese entertainment companies go after almost anyone no matter what their age is.
>>10972276Things just never change to be honest here.

Texas thread died about a week ago or so... RIP, not OP of the previous Texas thread but the anon that had revived it briefly in October. Meant to revive it again this month in-time for it to reach 1-year-plus status, but had totally slipped my mind and was already too late by the time I had noticed... oh well, let's try this 1-year challenge all over again, shall we?UPCOMING NOTABLE EVENTS (for the next six months):Anime Frontier - Dec 12-14Ecchi Expo - Dec 12-14Ikkicon - Jan 9-11Ushicon / Komoricon - Feb 6-8 (both in Austin, Komoricon happening on Feb 7 only)AnimeVerse Houston - Feb 13-15WeebCon - Apr 3-5Anime Dallas - Apr 17-19Otaku Odyssey - May 8-10Riverwalk Anime - May 23-24A-Kon - Press X to Doubt (World Cup will be in town during Jun-Jul)Discuss topics about Texas cons here, including ones that have have happened recently such as Anime Impulse Dallas.
>>10973710The desperation of AM is laughable. They're already begging for people to pre-reg next year. They are posting photos to show that it is empty when other people show walkaround videos of how empty it is. The rave photos were pathetic in how many showed up.AM needs to admit that it is in shambles. A shell of its former self. They won't admit that Dreamcon has taken its place.
>>10973251Are there any with Japanese industry people, like directors and animators, coming to any of these coming up? Are those announced shorter to the events?I want to go to San Japan because they had quite a lot of good industry people the last two years (Studio Trigger, JP VAs, JP DJs), but I don't see any announced, or at least not yet.
>>10974394I thought the same thing looking at SJ's current guest lineup for this year. They usually announce the biggest guests in August closer to the con's start date, so I wouldn't FUD just yet.>DJ'sThe DJ lineup this year is very disappointing to me. I saw Find The Rabbit when she played at San Japan two years ago and mainly remember her for fully stopping her set to take a selfie with the crowd before resuming. Just for that, I'll likely not be going to the con rave this year since she's here again.
>>10974408Thank you, that is good news. Hopefully there will be good news soon.Last year's DJ lineup was 10/10. I can't believe they got DJ Tako from m-flo, how did they pull that off? I didn't know about YUC'e before that night, but now I listen to her music regularly. She was really good. The others were pretty good too. I wanted to keep going all night but eventually my body needed rest.
There's like at least 4 different anime conventions happening between the San Antonio and Austin areas this weekend, and I'm willing to bet that Colossalcon Texas will be the one to come out on top.

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.

>>10974917ever since I started noticing the oversized prints in sweet I can't enjoy them the same
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.
>>10974890/r/Ouji is worse because its the less active corpse so I have to see the same public embarrassments every time I check it.
>>10974875It makes total sense. It's just like every fashion or style trend, things swing back and forth, and when the previous fashion was so over the top that it's literally called "Over the Top" it's not surprising that it's followed up by a return to the basics. I think it's especially true because OTT was pretty hard to stomach for outsiders and new people as well, it was a gradual progression for most people I knew who wore it. On another level though, I think another big factor is that zoomers were exposed to fetish material much more heavily and earlier in life and it's a much bigger part of their worldview. I think they may be repelled by sweet and its substyles because it's popular with crossdressers, sissies, ageplayers, etc. and they can't disassociate it from that. Fetishization of goths is also huge in their generation and maybe a lot are going for more gothic/gothic-inspired "oldschool" stuff because it fits with that. Another factor may be that they're more comfortable wearing alternative styles in normal life than we were, so they may be gravitating toward styles that are easier to wear and more practical for everyday activities. I saw that in our generation too with the lifestyle lolitas I knew, they always leaned more old school than the mainstream.
>>10974890Not even that. It's just full of newbies who are so fucking illiterate that they go on there to ask if the "VAT and Duties included" shipping option... It the one that has VAT and duties included. That is legit something that happened. Or that one girl who wants a fully custom dress for less than 150
>>10975002The comments sections are just as bad a lot of the time
>>10974952True I'm not buying anything pink and skipping all prints with teddy bears and keeping knees hidden because I will kill myself on the spot if a normie or even worse one of them thinks im a sissy or ageplayer

>>10975025It settled in to itself, no more being taken aback by how spread thin everything became. Yes, the character is all but gone though one of my manifestations here >>10971439 finally came to pass, if not in the way I expected>AFO 2027will be held at the Hyatt Regency OrlandoFrom Holmat 24, this is what I wanted. Waaaaaaaaaay better venue just by virtue of looking cool
>>10975026>no more being taken aback by how spread thin everything becameThat was my biggest gripe with it. Everything going to the hotel by 8 or whatever felt off. Decent spot to hang out but it was so small. >Holmat at GaylordIt's such a nice hotel. I fucking hate that that ice show is there every year so we'll never see it happen. >better venue just by virtue of looking cool
>>10975027 (me)Fuck I pressed enter before I could finish my post.>better venue just by virtue of looking coolthat's an underrated aspect though and one reason I wish we'd get a con at the Florida Gaylord.
>>10975027>>10975028This year I'm gonna have to run some stuff by my crew cuz speaking DESU we flushed all of Saturday night down the toilet on an idea I knew was a fail from the start and it was. Comes from how spread out everything was. For 24 though, I can remember the exact moment feeling my soul getting bled dry: the huge uncanny, empty parking lot walk>>10975027>one reason I wish we'd get a con at the Florida Gaylord.And mine is: the famous con actually at a Gaylord, Katsucon. Unless something changes, I'm branding it the unfriendliest least welcoming con of all. And I say this in full acknowledgment, that Holmat day people aren't a basket of rainbow sunshine either
>>10975029Oh yeah the Gaylord there is nice but I've been there for MAGFest which ironically is one of the nicest crowds I've seen. Gave me old holmat vibes, minus the Christmas stuff of course.
What are some good stores/brands to purchase wigs from? As with anything online, its hard to avoid aliexpress dropshipped trash.I'm not just looking for exclusively cosplay wigs. I'd like some that I can wear multiple times and will last a long time. I intend to take good care of them.
