Any interesting events still coming up this year? I need something to numb my crippling depression
>>10976389Vienna Comic Con is in NovemberAnd Nerdiko in Rosenheim (but that's a very small event)
I'm all ready for Yunicon.
>>10974499Which days are you at Yunicon? I think I'll go on Friday and Saturday and stay in some hotel.
>>10976767Wasn't there also a con in Münster or something? I vaguely remember it being a very recent thing which was brought to life just a few years ago
Now that the dust has settled, do you think participating in j fashion was net positive in your life?
>>10976878>Now that the dust has settledFrom what? This place is dead as fuck. Are there only bots making threads here anymore?
>>10976884I don’t mean here specifically, but overall j fashion falling out of relevancy.
>>10976895>overall j fashion falling out of relevancyMaybe when it comes to EGL, but I feel like J-fashion is on the rise if you mean J-fashion in general and not specifically the more extreme sides of it. The number of Uniqlos in the US has only been going up in the past few years, for example.
>>10976923>UniqlosThat’s something you would unironically discuss on /fa/, here we talk alternative jap fashion.
>>10976895>I don’t mean here specifically, but overall j fashion falling out of relevancy.It's not falling out of relevancy, but the way j-fashion takes place has changed dramatically. Older styles have fallen out of favor or become incredibly niche, more recent ones are more hype based and closer to fast fashion than exploring a certain ideal. J-fashion as a term has been quite watered down with how quickly a trend can spread. I would probably even assume the demand for japanese subculture inspired fashion is bigger than ever thanks to how developed information exchange and e-commerce has become making cute clothes and respective media really accessible, but the way it's experienced is not comparable to the 2000s and 2010s. Jirai-kei is probably the best example what the average experience will look like today.For EGL it comes off as if the community has sort of split into half. One consists of primarily older lolitas who have already settled within the fashion, are taught through classic sources, mostly well informed and well aware of the fashion environment and their rules. The other seems to mostly consist of newbies, oftentimes on the younger side, who picked up inspiration through social media or online shops, are chronically bad at sourcing information on their own, flock to the first thing they see and call it a day. Although these types of people have already existed before, the total share within the community seems to have grown significantly and caused the other half to withdraw itself to trusted circles. It's not falling out of relevancy per-se but communities seem to have publicly withdrawn a LOT for said reasons.

>>10969438Does anyone have the asuka with the cheap bodysuit , nice thighs and the big schnoz?
have you ever found the pics of you cosplaying that you posted online or that somebody else took posted on a pornographic site?
>>10974800why?
>>10973935/a/ tourist here, this shit is great im laughing my ass off anon>what am I doing wrong guys?dont give up yet anon, you gotta use romcom logic use reverse psychology and say that you never wanted it in the first place, then he will be all over you
>>10968292no, but after some conversations from some people from different board I think I wouldn't even be considered to be put in second thing anywhere kek. Even if I'm gonna try one last time for someone to talk with me as Homura cosplayer this year
>>10969344I never wanted it in the first place so fuck you retard!!!
Im a man and Im a degenerate, so I dont mind if people jerk off to me.Pictures taken of me might be in cringe compilations, tho
What are some newbie questions that you are absolutely sick and tired of hearing? From "Where can I buy" to "why so expensive"
>>10976893It's already diluted as is, check out those compilation instas like @yamikawa_109 and @yamikawaii.tokyo and see what is labaled jirai there. Lots of random goth / punk / egirl eboy shit. "Jirai danshi" in particular is just eboy shit with eyebag makeup, I don't think it's really a thing outside of western circles though.
>>10976910>>10976915I would say it really was the peak of that particular style since brands like dearmylove and lizlisa was releasing things like that way till around 2024. Brands really start to ditch the pink x black starting from 2025.
>>10976801You forgot :>"is this lolita ?">amazon-tier maid cosplayA classic old as time.
>>10976909It's so pathetic to see.Men used to do sweet gestures for women they liked, now they virtue signal in hopes for a crumb of attention.
>>10976944The real thing to be upset about is that people aren't buying pieces and then modifying it themselves. Brolita was already a thing 10 years ago and back then men were men and did tailor work on their coords themselves.
>MAGfest is sold outI'm going to kill myself
>>10976019this is actually a major fuck up for a con. it means some retard actually dropped the ball when planning. selling out of BADGES (not rooms) in a few hours means A TON OF lost revenue. someone needs to get fucking fired.
Can't wait for people who bought badges to find out that they cut the two largest providers for their arcade.
>>10976887The story behind it is so petty and stupid>Save Point vendor who is partnered with Konami gets upset at Snow Phoenix for emulating Komani servers for their arcade>Save Point throws a big fit about wanting Snow removed from mag for emulating>Unknown how Snow responded to it all>Magfest comes in and says okay BOTH of you are removed
>>10976905Lame. I remember the year I went they had a seemingly endless arcade full of stuff for everybody, and if I wasn't from a city where I'm spoiled for choice when it comes to arcades I probably would have spent the entire con there. If they don't have it this year (or have a way shittier version of it because of this vendor fuck up) then I'm kinda glad I got cucked out of going by the pass scalpers.
>>10976870There are new waves of people coming in every single year plus people are panic buying multiple tickets for the hotel lottery. The convention fucked up, I'm not sure what they can really do to fix the hotel lottery bullshit.
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+
I wouldn't care what my kid sees in regard to the human body as it is. If my hypothetical son was anything like me, seeing girls naked was the highlight of my year starting about the age of 5 or 6.
>>10968220based kids
>>10968220Did you make sure to cancel the kids on instagram?
>>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
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
>>10975665Kinda weird to think that everyone in this photo is now 40-50 years old.
>>10975732Go to any modern anime convention and attend the cosplay meetups, they're basically time capsules and also one of the few places at modern cons where strangers will chat each other up freely.
>>10866322cgl is dead maybe because cosplay is so main stream, ppl just go to tiktokhow is this thread still up from 2023?I have no idea how you all still use cgl, or 4chan at all with the whole captcha thing, I miss typing, I miss finding buses and signs instead. I miss being a unique weeb.
>>10975920>how is this thread still up from 2023?The same lone shitstain keeps the entire board in a zombie state and refuses to let a single thread die or be revived
>>10975732go to small local ones. the people that go there are doing it for the love of the game.
Why do cosplayers do this with their female fans?
That's two men though.
w*men are so fucking scary. next time I see one out in the wild I'm blowing my head smooth off
>>10976855isn't the whole point of cosplaying to achieve this?

Rn im in the process of redoing the wig, but the clothes kinda bother me.Ill post some pics of the jacket, thats mainly what I wanna improve. I wanna add her little jewel thingy but I dont know how I could make it and attach it, id have to make a little pocket and I cant really sew. (beginner kinda, I started cos in 2023)also with her sailor collar, I dont know what color to dye it. I have tan dye, but I cant make out what the hell the color is in the anime. I will also paint the black stripe red.pleaseplease give me advice since it looks a little cheap, ill be posting more photos to show it. Ill post many updates as well!! :)
How was AX?
>no timestampyou're all gay, you act as if timestamps are like a sacrifice to 9 different devils, it's a date and a time on a paper you stupid faggots
>>10955347I have no tips
>>10975983here's your tip>>10974244
will you cosplay her again?
A while ago I cosplayed as Saya, but none of my friends know her, so I decided to post it hereI know it's not one of the best, but it was fun to use (I made the "ears" in a hurry for a party)
>>10976804another b8 thread? another b8 thread
>>10976809>>10976810I really don't know enough English to understand what you said.(っ- ‸ - ς)
>>10976804I replayed Saya no uta recently and cosplay wise you are kinda close, if you exclude the hair flips, although the hair should be greener and eye colours and the "dress" should cover more like it should be near the neck , but I guess it was just a short time cosplay Also damn but you look sick >but none of my friends know herUnless your friends are into the same things as you, better don't tell them what Saya no uta is >>10976816B8 thread means bait thread and in shorts word is supposed to mean "a thread that is made to provoke a reaction" but in this case it's basically some troll on this board that posts girl cosplays for trolling and shiet

You are so soo so cuteee!!! ^_^

"Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions.

feeling anxious or something. maybe regret? I ordered a bunch of stuff off 42lolita during the free shipping sale and I know it's going to look good on me but idk. It was $400 but i still feel like i want so much more for my coords to be complete. want boots, maybe riding boots? some rings would be nice. not pictured are some jabots, a gazing galactic coat that are still stuck in pre-order hell and some bat waisted paints that are on the way.i feel like i have enough to absolutely murder at the goth club and to get a not-normie pass at the local comm but idk. starting out i'm sure i'm going to feel inadequate with an ultra basic, incomplete look until i get more accessories and shoes more appropriate than my old chelsea boots.
>>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.
Tried it turn out its too big, gotta wait for the wig now
>>10973887sucks to be you lol
shit bait thread, shit bait faggot OP
>>10973845What that guy said
check this thread in the archives, top lel
Did the wig cum yet
