/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>starting to get really good at cosplay and making cosplay friends
>same time starting 6 year schooling program that's going to limit my cosplaying, especially when I start rotations in a few years

It's not even a time issue because summer cons exist, it's all a "I can't buy this wig because I need textbooks and to make rent" issue.

>Finally find a CC cushion that has the perfect colour, texture and coverage.
>Except it literally does not dry or set whatsoever and so transfers really easily on to fucking everything.
>Ends up sliding all over my face during the day.

>barely getting into lolita after stalking the fashion since 2007
>after all these years i've learned you need a petticoat first and foremost
>dream dress shows up on lacemarket
>mfw i can only afford one of the other
i was considering getting a melikestea petti since they seem to be pretty good quality but the shipping to the states makes it horribly expensive for a petticoat. $89 seems insane for a petti. i dunno what do.
my gut says get my dream dress.

It took me a year to let my eyebrows grow out until they were perfect and I don't know why but last night I spontaneously spent half an hour plucking 50% of the fucking hairs out last night.

I genuinely can't figure out why I did it and they look so pointy and awful now. Jesus christ.

Link to the BH sweater? I lost my bookmark for it ages ago.

>Call Zen to try to make him feel better.
>Hangs up on me.

I got the bad end, didn't I?

Well, shit. I know what I'm ordering on payday.

I almost picked up the peach/banana hand creams today, but those damn Mini Pet pots won me over. My boyfriend got the banana though, becausue apparently it's 'acceptably manly.'

>strictly western comic artists at anime conventions are arrogant and condescending

I-I'm sorry you feel that way, anon.

I guess we don't actually have anime conventions in Australia, just general pop/culture conventions, but in my experience:

>Best
Australian-born professional comic artists who still come to conventions and just hang out, being cool guys. They're always really kind and inspirational. Ex: Mark Sexton.
>Worst
The generic 'Tumblr kawaii' scribblers whose work consists only of ironic/bitchy sayings and fat samefaces. They just sit around circlejerking eachother for their diversity the entire time. Ex: Mel Stringer.

Everybody else is just generally okay. No notable groups.

>ASL
22/F/Texas

>Received a package for SM today from AH

Oh thank god! Apparently some people who were matched to Sally were given your address instead of hers.
I'm.. Really not sure how to work this out, though. I genuinely can't afford to pay for another lot of postage right now and it's probably even more expensive from England to Mexico.

Nobody NEEDS to wear any kind of makeup..

>>8704301
For an absolute beginner, I'd recommend
>BB cream.
>Concealer.
>Mascara.
>Blush(*)
>Lip balm.

You can dick around with eyeshadow/liner, contouring, primers and colour correction stuff if you really want to, but that always strikes me as 'done up' makeup - The stuff you wear for cosplays, photo shoots, fancy nights out.
>mfw there are girls who spend hours doing EVERYTHING every single morning just to go to work.

*Combination cream blush/lip tints are amazing and save heaps of space.

I want to order a full routine worth of skincare products from Skinfood - And NONE of their lines come in full collections.

>I just want everything to match.

I've settled on the Honey Black Tea cream & foam cleansers with the Peach Sake emulsion, serum and toner. I'm also getting the PS BB cream and finishing powder.

But why couldn't they just make a fucking PS cleanser?

Why?

>Age/Gender/Location

>Something about you
I wear Otome, occasionally cosplay, sew for a living and play a lot of videogames. Not really a weeb.
>What you're looking for in a lolita/cosplaying friend
A buddy to do generic lady-friend things with?
>What you're NOT looking for in a lolita/cosplaying friend
Another 14-year-old boy who asks me if I'll make him a sissy oh lordy.
>Contact info
Skype is Hirsent. Steam is Rusty Shackleford.

pls play games

>Been with boyfriend for almost three years.
>Taking the pill the entire time.
>Have never missed a single pill.
>Missed one two weeks ago.
>Period is three days late with zero normal symptoms/spotting.
>Fuck.

I can get a chemical abortion (The two pills) for virtually free right now - But I would need my boyfriend to drive me to and from the clinic and keep everything hidden from my family.

We've spoken about it before. We both agree that I sure as shit don't want a kid for another 9 years; I'm basically right on the poverty level right now as I'm starting my own business. He'd probably be happy to pay for it, if it were necessary.
We both agree that it's a cluster of cells - It wouldn't be any more drastic than going to have a mole removed.

But I still don't know how it would affect our relationship.

I'm not scared or worried about doing it at all, I'm just worried that when the scenario becomes real, his beliefs/thoughts will change and it'll fuck him up.

I can order some pure ascorbic acid powder and do that routine for a week - But I'm dead broke and won't be able to afford the $15 until Tuesday, which will be EXACTLY 3 weeks and by then the chances aren't as high.

I mean, with Otome you can use a black piece in an outfit with a main piece that doesn't necessarily have black in IT. Complimentary colours are more prominent than matching colours, too.

>inb4 Lolitas do mass-migrate to the fashion and soon they're telling us off for not matching properly or 'following the rules.'

>Get viral stomach infection for ~2.5 weeks.
>Immune system compromised.
>Suddenly every nick, scratch, blocked pore becomes instantly infected.
>Big bright red, incredibly painful sores all over face/neck/shoulders.
>Look like a fucking tweaker.

I've been over it for the past week and have been taking a shit-tonne of various vitamins.
My neck and back feel almost sunburnt from the surface pain though.

What in the everloving fuck does 'What's good?' mean?

>I'm not basic enough a bitch to understand.

I just accidentally bought a 6-pack of clear inkjet ShrinkyDinks sheets.
>Amazon and their misleadingly named one-click confirmations.

The only question I have is can I dome the finished shrinkydink charms with resin? Or will the heat fuck up the plastic?

I want them to be fairly thick and have the potential to 3d layer shit above the main image. I was planning on pure resin charms and looking over my options when I bought them.

>tfw I want to dress my boyfriend up in aristocrat but he's one of those extreme man apples and nothing will fit his shoulders
we wear the same pants size but he could never wear my blouses and coats even though I have titties. man bodies are weird.

>Tfw want to meet people, make friends, and just generally have an awesome time
>Tfw awkward as fuck, usually stammering whenever I talk while being a nuisance to have a conversation with because I usually create a load of dead ends.

Maybe I won't be the only one
