/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I don't really have a comm, I live two hours away from the LA one and I have only been to one of their meets (the halloween witch themed thing), so I don't really feel a part of it. I would go to more meets and stuff, but I don't think there are very many, and I only find out about the ones that do happen well after they have happened. It doesn't matter anyway, when I do go out I can't talk to any of them because I am cripplingly shy.

I don't want to be a lone loli, but I am really bad at making friends.

Not that anon, but DDs on a 5' tall girl looks still like a padded 13 year old. A lot of the time it doesn't matter how big your tits are.

A few years back when I turned 18 I wanted to 'come out' with a sexy costume. I designed something as sexy as I was comfortable with-- short shorts and a low top- for a causal gijinka. Looked alright, not wonderful, but I didn't get any positive attention-- at all. I was in heels, lots of makeup, padded up bra (I have Cs) I thought oh-- okay, I guess it's not a good cosplay. But then I realized I was getting very odd stares. About 30 minutes into wearing it, a guy on staff who looked early 20s comes over to me and says in a very concerned voice "Excuse me, do your parents know you're dressed like that? You really shouldn't dress that way, it can make other attendees uncomfortable."

>that feel when almost 19 year old 4'10" girl
>never do any sexy character or cosplay again
>always be the loli

I can see your point, but that is your priority not everyone else's.

I will admit to taking shortcuts where I can so long as they don't take much away from the overall appearance of the cosplay. And yeah, the reason I do it is because cosplay isn't my life. It is a hobby that needs to fit around the other stuff in my life that is important. So as long as I can take a short cut and still have my costume look decent, I will do it.

It is because of that that I still enjoy peoples terrible costumes, well at least in person I enjoy them. After the fact I may look back and shake my head at the cardboard and trashbags that were used to make a sailor moon costume, but at the time I am just happy that there are people who like the same stuff as me.

and that is my confession for this thread. doesn't feel much like a confession really...
