I was wondering if I ever make a cosplay, I firstly understand what makes it bad. Even if I dress properly, make up, good wig, I feel like it would look bad anyway. I was wondering if it is something else, like face structure or just being ugly. Also not talking about cosplays that don't match body build or those that want to look bad ironically.
>>10972821no its a FG42its a german paratooper rifleifk it looks neat on her.
>>10972842I think anon was meme'ing. Also, the barrel is upside down...
>>10833478Usually the cosplay itself is great in those cases, the cosplayer just isn't the right shape for it.It's a show of skill in sewing and costume design but a fat girl can't be a thin girl no matter what she wears.
>>10830561>dirty ass tennis shoeshehehe joke's on you, I'm going as a member of the shadow wizard money gang, and big fly shoes are part of my aesthetic choice of footwear

Hello, I've been into lolita for a while and I've been wanting to actually participate now. The only concern I have is that I am a guy and don't want to bring shame or embarrassment to myself or others. I'm not trans or anything like that, I just enjoy the culture and such. I enjoy egl the most, so I'd focus there. It's not like I'm a stranger to j-fashion, I wear mode/karasu zoku, which already focuses on androgyny. Is this a good idea, or should I save myself and those in the comm from my karmic actions out of respect? Yes, Mana is a man, but that's different and I'm not him.
>>10974448just don't be creepy and wear what works for your body.
Rei cosplays not allowed here

>>10973847That's Cory in the White house second season. (Best anime ever)
>>10969438>Rei cosplays not allowed hereHikari, Misato, Mari or any other girl or woman from that show is ok?

>bf says he’ll take me to a lolita fashion store >ask if it is a sweet lolita, classic lolita or gothic lolita fashion store>he laughs and says it’s a nice store>go with bf>it’s kawaii fashion
>>10969615idk about you but the Lolita stuff I like looks like something a 20-something woman would wear in 1895, or something a vampire queen would wear
>>10969615
>>10917456That's why, back when she was still into it years ago, I always ended up buying my wife nice socks or stockings off of sites for stores I knew she had previously used to go with her lolita stuff instead of trying to do the bigger stuff with my lack of knowledge. Finding some stuff you can comprehend when you don't get the rest helps a lot.

>>10933778It's autumn
>>10934533the meteorological summer season starts on June 1 and lasts three months, until September 1.Astronomical summer lasts from the date of the summer solstice until the autumnal equinox, which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on September 22 or 23Where do you live where it's autumn already?Where I live we can still get heat waves until mid october at the latest. If I get past that point I finally feel like it's autumn even though it officially started ages ago.Also, to clarify why I made that comment; I don't associate hot weather with halloween, and it will be a few months (from when halloween stuff starts popping up in stores, not from now) until halloween is actually there.
not falling off anytime soon
>>10756720It hurts me to this day that I never got to visit the physical store....

>>10970286Doesn't seem like the community is there for these anymore. Very little excitement or hype chatter, and very few posts of gifts. It would be better off it was put to bed if there weren't enough people with their hearts in it.
>>10970368I agree, but even if only 2 people remain who want to exchange gifts, I'd help them connect. Even if it ends up being done in a way that doesn't resemble past events at all, maybe it'd all be done by email. And I don't think any new thread will be created, but if there's any desire to share things with /cgl/ this thread could stay up.But from the looks of it, the event seems to not have much of a future. I was thinking if anything could be done for people to go back and look at old memories, when new threads will no longer be made for the event each year. There probably would not be much interest even in that though to be quite honest.
Is this the last thread
>>10970377>I was thinking if anything could be done for people to go back and look at old memoriesFor what it's worth I for one would really love that, I've fallen out of J-Fash over the years so I haven't been participating or coming to this site much but curling up with a hot cocoa or a peppermint latte to read this thread every year and see all the excited posts is still a big part of how I get into the holiday spirit. It's crazy to think that it's been a decade since Uncle Travis, but if nothing else I'm really grateful for the work all the organizers have put in over the years to make this possible.
>>10973666Probably. But in all honesty, it isn't really my decision to make to end the event. I can say that I won't organize it anymore, but I can't say that no one will organize it. And if someone would want to organize it, I'd be willing to stay in an organzing role too. The issue is that there really doesnt seem to be much interest anymore.>>10973736I'm thinking there should be a centralized place for people to find the threads, at least. But I don't think people would be able to find it. So I'm not sure exactly how it should be done.On another note, the album still hasn't been updated with the images from this or last year, so that's something I'll need to do.
Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
>>10970669Yes
>>10902106OP's cosplay is insane, imagine the BRAPs
>>10970669>>10970673The millennials in "the geek crowd" as you put it will be like that, but zoomers onward won't be as much. Zoomers will just say shit because it feels good, so as long as you're not going out of your way to misgender someone who is clearly female-presenting they won't care what you say.
>>10970774Yeah I'm not a dick, I can get along with you if you act normal it's the people that make it their entire personality that I can't really vibe with
>>10902106The cosplay thing should be fun and doesn't need to be sexual but some normies decided to ruin it by making a porn with cosplaying an anime character. I somehow thinking to those who cosplay and do onlyfans vids by making porn vids while they cosplay anime character. I feel you sir
The title says it all, cosplayers that did awesome cosplay but their career were cut short, as they suddenly disappeared without any notice.

Tank9, a cosplayer and industrial dancer, went Christian and denounced everything:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1kmYvx4aQrEMonimusume/Chey/CheyenneA camwhore into anime and Nintendo, had a horrible case of anorexia, lost a magnificent body, seems better these days but has probably shaved 20 years of lifespan. Sigh, two sad stories from 2007...

Meta thread. Let's discuss what the fuck has been happening to and within the culture of EGL.Some questions and thoughts that have been on my mind below, reply if you want or bring up your own ideas to discuss. -Why is ita mostly dying as an insult? Are we not using it enough, or is it past it's time?-Brand whore as a concept nearly disappearing in the west-gooning and its effects on our psychology, how it has stopped many of us from posting publicly-Ero is back, and becoming popular, but why? Male infiltration, or are we finally reclaiming ero as a community? -is Lolita even a community anymore?-is the jirai culture online our fault?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>10972531If you're on this board you are ND
>>10972315>(ouji and jirai ain't it)Jirai no, Ouji just doesn't have the same same exposure in media that EGL does, ergo it won't be as popular because men already inherently aren't particularly fashionable nor care about fashion.
>>10972315>>10972570Ouji was never really "for men" anyways. It's a masculine style, but it was always for women first.
>>10972553Fair enough, lmao
There's trans people who are actually women and There's ones who aren't
What's the worst con you've been to? Bonus points for dead ones.
not exciting, just boring>visiting friends in sarasota, florida>they say there's a con nearby we should check out>we go and its like in a little hotel>it was literally just a dealer's room and nothing else>incredibly picky about buying stuff so my house doesn't accumulate junk>friends are low level hoarders while struggling financially so while trying to just chat i had to squeeze through the dealers room while they did multiple laps looking for cheap plastic shitafterwards i kind of lost the desire to hang out with those friends because their favorite activity was browsing. i like shopping well enough, i love going to vintage thrift stores to see pieces and try them on but with them it's just going to plastic stores.
Man this is an old one now. I think it was Anime Matsuri 2011? It was dubbed "Rodeo-con" because it was hosted across the street from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and it was one of the most miserable anime convention experiences I have ever had. It was extremely crowded, overbooked, and cosplayers were eventually told we couldn't enter through the front door. I remember a rumor after the fact that the hotel manager got fired over the calamity. The combo of us weebs + rodeo guests was a REALLY BAD MIX.2nd worst was when Heroes of Cosplay filmed at AM. Maybe 2013? Just really bad vibes, rigged cosplay contest, elevators being shut down only for production crews, etc. This was the con that led me to quit cosplaying and attending cons all together and make anime a more private part of my life. I was not a Matsuri exclusive. Oni-con used to be a decent time until it fell apart. Attended once or twice in Galveston after it moved. San Japan was honestly the best run con I attended regularly between 2007 and 2015 (last con officially being SJ2015 because I was feeling nostalgic, but I was no longer cosplaying). I remember being a lurker here and Texas cons and cosplayers DEFINITELY had a reputation for toxicity lol.
>>10973969I wonder if we went to the same con>Florida, 2008, summer time>find an anime con happening >I’ve been to two cons, friends have been to zero>get there and it’s entirely in a hotel ballroom >almost nothing to do, maybe 30-50 people max>one cute girl cosplaying as Haruhi, only real cosplayer>local sword dojo is hosting a tournament for the con >basically saves the con because everyone wants to hit each other with foam swords>good times had by allReally though, if it wasn’t for that tournament, you would’ve been done with the place in ten minutes.
>>10960283Dashcon.
