>>10940008Both costumes look good. I like how the wig of the girl on the left looks. As for who is more beautiful, that doesn't matter

>>10940094Am I able to still spoil my giftee or is that frowned upon?
>>10940114There is no upper limit to how much you can spend. If you write that you want to join the $150 tier on your signup form (at the end, not as your joined tier), it's possible you could be matched with other people who also write that, instead of what you actually joined, if anyone does and it works for the event overall. The same goes for the $20 tier. Don't expect it though.
>>10940094Anon I used a read only mail unfortunately. >Additionally, you mention that you would prefer to [...] If any other people express the same desire, would you like to be matched with them [..]? I can't make any promises though!If anyone else expressed interest in it then yes!also I fixed the name/address a bit
>>10940155You really need to use an email that you can actually send from, remember you will need to send proof that you shipped your gifts! And there could also very well be other things that you need to be able to send emails about too.
I don’t understand why everyone dislikes them so much, it’s always so nice to talk to them. They’re so friendly and accommodating and when they come in with their cosplays, you can just see how passionate they are.

Does cgl go to cons in China? Going to one pop up next month in Taiwan along with the halloween cosplay thing
bro the entire dogfighting in this thread has nothing to do with cosplay or lolita shut the fuck up and post cosplay
>>10937888HOW DO I DO THIS
Some chinese girls are really pretty.
>Ask a cosplayer to take a picture of him/her.>Refuses.
>>10940078have you considered not being fat
>>10940078Couldn't be me
I had this happen at my last convention.I'd already been really scared of asking people for pictures, but finally I got the courage, and then the third person I asked said no, and after that I only got one more picture through all of the convention.I guess there weren't that many people cosplaying characters I cared about anyway, so maybe I wouldn't have taken many more photos anyway, but still.
>>10940113What happened? Were you unnerved because the 3rd person said no? Honestly, don’t take it too hard, they could just be tired
>>10940078I only refuse when I'm about to go home, changing back or I feel my makeup is off. Don't take it too personally anon. Most people are glad to be asked for a picture.

This thread is about cute furries/kemonos in lolita. Other japanese fashions are welcome too. Please move on and refrain from sperging out if it's not your cup of tea.
Even Misako enjoys the company of cute kemonos.
Western-style furries always look so goofy though.
cute, whimsical, and artful

Nooo don't fall off the board your so sexy ahaI got an email indicating Toys Donut Diner will be shipping soon! I'm excited. Has anyone who ordered DDC from the online MTO received theirs yet though? The delivery of that whole series has been so fragmented.Did anyone go for Travel Kuma-chan? Pink was the most popular online but red and black are my favourite.I hope they re-release the Fancy Border cardigans this winter
>>10939187>Has anyone who ordered DDC from the online MTO received theirs yet though?Oh wow I completely forgot about it. It was supposed to be shipped out in August, right? Yeah I never got mine.
>>10939187>>Has anyone who ordered DDC from the online MTO received theirs yet though?I received mine on the 16th. It arrived to my SS on the 9th and was shipped to me on the 10th.I believe the MTO was originally scheduled to be ready in August put it pushed back to September but with several delivery periods continuing into October based on AP Harajuku's Instagram posts.Pretty sure mine was part of the second delivery period.

I was considering buying this to make my Tokimitsu cosplay, should I just buy a fabric maker to draw in the number or is there a better way. Also I'm a complete novice

I'm cosplaying Leon Kennedy and I would like to have a handgun for it. What are the general rules for prop firearms at conventions? I don't want to build a prop and end up not being able to bring it anywhere.
>>10939709I knew a guy who made a very acurate prop of a M41A pulsse rifle for a con that didn't allow them, used it for the photoshots only, then took and printed a full-size photo of the thing and glued it to a flat cardboard for the con.a.k.a. "having a cake AND eating it".So, feel free to have a very realistic prop for the pics and a con-allowable one for the actual con.
>>10939666For the most part, so long as the gun has no moving parts you will get past security check without a problem. However, you will need to put in the effort to not seem like a sperg. Best bet is for you to have a woman with you waiting impatiently.
>>10939666Brother this question is ultimately solved by what con you are going to. Some cons are strict. Some are not. They all have slightly different rules. I have brought airsoft guns that were gutted and stripped down with no issue but had a dumb cop stop me about semi realistic non firing 3d printed props. So it all depends. Just be transparent with the con security and prop checkers because I am sure they will you a break since you are being dutiful and showing them what you got. Maybe try gluing the trigger into place so it can't move or at least stuff the inside of the barrel. I am going as Leon Kennedy too soon so believe me there are a lot of fun props you can use.
>>10939666Bring in a real gun and see if they notice.
What kind of shoulder holster should I get for a detective? to go under a blazer
Previous thread >>10803531 died from a lack of posts. Not all that surprising with how little there was to post about at the time. Personally I'm also somewhat done with /cgl/ and all the pointless con drama and have been focusing on other things. But now that we've got several conventions around the corner, have a new thread!Question of the thread: What convention are you looking forward to the most this year and why?Upcoming major events>22-23 Sep: Elfia Haarzuilens, a large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens.>6-7 May: MIA NL, a popular commercial anime convention in Gorinchem.>21-21 May: Comic Con Brussels, a large commercial geek convention in Brussels.>9-11 June: Animecon, the oldest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Rijswijk.>24-25 June: Heroes DCC, the largest commercial geek convention with a focus on dealers. >30 Jun-2 Jul: Dokomi DE, a large popular anime convention in Dusseldorf.>8-9 July: Atsusacon, Belgium's largest anime convention... I think?>3-6 August: Castlefest, a(nother) large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens with tons of great food.>11-13 August: Abunai!, the second oldest and probably now largest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Veldhoven.>12-13 August: Showmasters Comic Con Amsterdam, a geek convention in Amsterdam.Comment too long.

Are there any local brands where I can buy a cute winter coat for lolita? The sleeves of Japanese brands are not long enough for me
You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This was posted somewhere before but is an excellent guide on making the most of your con actually. It's not just about getting laid, half of it is how to have the best timehttps://wingman.live/blog/how-to-get-laid-at-an-anime-convention
>>10900752I don't go to cons to party or do drugs or normie shit.I go to cons to cosplay, walk around, buy shit, and go to fun and interesting panels Getting complimented on my cosplay and having it recognized is amazing and fills me with joy.Some of the best nigga's i've ever met at cons have been doing basic shit like panels or playing board games or chess or shit in a hall.
>>10938237>walk around, buy shit, and go to fun and interesting panelsThis sounds really boringCosplaying while partying is insanely fucking fun you should try itYou can do boardgames during the day. Night is for partying
>>10938232most ppl cant do that
>>10940112Skill issue, bot bro
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.
>>10934587Theyre all lying. Some of them believe its true. But they only think that because they fell for a lie. Also, volume and repitition are not evidence of truth
>>10939391>Lies, given in earnest, which are still lies regardless of intentsSounds like we're in agreement, aside from maybe mild semantics. Regardless of intent, the world would be a much better place without misery porn everywhere
Should I give people my personal instagram if I am not a professional cosplayer? I feel like when other congoers ask me for contacts, they probably don’t want to see my travel pics in the mix.
>>10940074Nobody cares about that, and if it's such a big deal to you, why not just make a second account?
Yo I think I saw you. pop con? Nice cosplay
Take three to a thread from last year that went well, let's try it out again. What keeps you coming back to cons? Even /cgl/, as small as it is, shows there's a billion possible combinations to explain: "Why?" Some answers, but definitely not all, would be>Cosplayingsolo, group, admiring, meetups, photography>What the event itself offersGuests, shops / artist alley, rave, game room>The social elementParties (unofficial), hookups, meet new folks, mutual friends flying in from different areas>Hanging outPeople watch, the weird experiences only cons can provide, that one time in the year "the gang gets back together"And of course any reasons I forgot to include are always encouraged. The floor is yours, gulls.
>>10939468not gonna happen, they are either there to shill there instagram, have a boyfriend, are underage, or will be orbiting someone way hotter than you from their gay ass friend group.
>>10939505Speak for yourself, nerd
Seeing friends again that are too scattered around the country to meet up with on a regular basis. And cosplay photography usually, sometimes while cosplaying myself. Room parties and hookups are just an added bonus that comes with the above two things. If a con has good guests from overseas, that's a good bonus too.
Wondering myselfI'm kinda in the "why I'm still doing this shit, I'm getting too old for it"- faceWell, maybe I get the cosplays done that I have planned next yearBut propably, I won't>>10939468SameBut I kinda gave up already>>10939505Can confirm
>>10940003>I'm kinda in the "why I'm still doing this shit, I'm getting too old for it"- faceBasically everyone who tells me this is under 25
