Well New York is a special place. I've only ever worn lolita to school or non lolita related events. People here just don't give a crap and there are weirder looking people on the train everyday begging for money so dressing all fancy like doesn't even merit a second glance.

That does seems sort of expensive, although I guess it depends on what they intend to serve food-and-cake wise. If they provide some mid-range food (either restaurant-catered or home made by someone who knows how to cook), and perhaps a nice cake made and decorated at a local bakery, $40 could be worth it. If it's macaroni, lipton and Safeway cake, though, no way. That would be a $8 value max, and $32 would likely not be worth any extra entertainment provided.

You clearly aren't very active in NY because Tokyo Rebel as a brick and mortar doesn't exist anymore, and they probably won't exist much longer at all because they are not doing well financially.

I'm aware they don't have a physical store at the moment. They said they are trying to find a new one. Sorry I don't keep tabs on the financial status of stores I don't work at. I nor anyone I know who is into lolita has ever been yelled at by someone who isn't a lolita about their clothes. Are people in New York rude? Yeah, they are rude to everyone. Grow a thick skin or GTFO because people will be rude to you lolita or not. I have only ever had people be very nice to me while wearing lolita. Granted, part of it is where in the city you go while wearing it. I went to an art school so artsy neighborhood=people tend to be more open minded. You are right though, I am not active in the comm because I actually like being a lone lolita. I went to college with some of the members and while they were sweet girls, I can't tolerate them more than a casual hello how are you.

I think the rude-level went overdrive when the girls started asking me to take pictures of them but at no point did anyone ask to take a picture with me/ask to take a picture of me. Mind you I was dressed better than half of them and not all decked out like a clown in OTT Sweet.

Something similar happened to me during my first meet. I was sitting with a group of lolis who were talking about things completely unrelated to lolita so I just sat there awkwardly. They were friendly and nice but I felt really left out.

I didn't attend the next meet up, it was at a really expensive restaurant ;_; I wanted to go but didn't have the money for fine dining, but I was quite relieved someone remembered I existed and invited me lol

Usually the girls will be pretty nice and if they see someone who seems shy or quiet, they might engage them and ask them a question or something. That's really just common courtesy, but you can't really depend on that. My first meet-up was pretty awkward for me but the more you get to know the people there the less awkward they'll become.

Don't be scared of going. ALSO smile. I can't stress how important this is. People will open up to you more and even if you are quiet, other people won't think it's because you don't like them or are in a bad mood or something.

Look, you're criticizing someone for typing like a child, when you're post came off like a 7th grade "goth" mad at the preps for not treating you like the special snowflake you are.

Maybe they were bitches, maybe they were awful, but your most really and truly does make YOU sound like the immature child. Take a look at what you wrote, and try to look at it from another POV. Most of it is insults aimed at how the others looked and how they didn't read your mind about what you wanted. The closest thing I saw to a legitimate complaint related to them not giving you an opening to talk, but you know what? Sometimes you have to edge yourself in. Don't expect a group of "OTT clowns" (one of the parts you wrote that made you look like someone no one would really want to talk to/made you look like a bitch) who are already friends to know exactly what the new girl wants. Sometimes they'll be open to new people and do their best to make sure everyone feels welcome and sometimes they're close knit already, so you have to make more of an effort. For future reference, give specific, non-personal
examples of why you felt excluded, not "those bitches wanted me to take a picture of their uggo outfits and no one offered to take a picture of ME"

You sound like a twat. It's not "acting fake" to compliment people, it's common courtesy. Also, it's all very well for you to sit there and claim you were way better dressed than anybody there, but I wonder how many people would agree with you? You sound really up yourself, I'm not surprised nobody wanted to interact with you, especially if you sat there silently with your nose turned up.

Meet-ups are generally very busy, social events. To be heard, you have to make yourself visible. Talk, make an opening in the conversation for yourself. Ask to be photographed. Be FRIENDLY. You cannot expect others to do all the work for you.

But then again, maybe nobody wanted a picture with a girl who was going to call them "clowns". Or maybe your coord was just terrible and you're projecting your shame onto other people...

It really, really depends on the people you have in your local comm.

I might be "privileged" in mine, because I have a pre-lolita friend that's in it, but even when she's not there, we end up doing some cool shit by the time the underagers (who usually have to get home by 5pm anyway) are gone.
I think it works out that way with most groups - the people that end up hanging around after the majority is gone are the ones who are more willing to talk and do things that are not necessarily just centered around what the group's about.

Meets are getting a bit more organized now that there is a group doing the big ones, but they still have a ways to go. I think they're trying a little too hard, but at least they're sincere about it, and will probably deliver at least a fun meet, even if it isn't impressive.

I've come to loathe my local community. They're cheap as shit ($15 to go to a nice lunch is too expensive/a once or twice per year treat), flaky (10 people RSVPed? Expect 3 to show up, max) and refuse to contribute in any way. Even just bringing a dish for a pot luck - which they ask to do at every meetup, because they won't pay to do activities or eat out - is too much to ask.

These are all adults who are working at least part-time and all own plenty of brand. It's not like they're 14-year-olds trying to get by on their allowance or something.

Then when we DO finally meet up at a nice tea house for our yearly "splurge" of $15 tea and cake, they all want to leave right away and go to the mall that's nearby instead.

For almost 3 years a friend and I were the only ones to plan meetups for our community and we went above and beyond creating fun but cheap events, bringing food, games, and even contests with hand-made prizes for everyone. We never once got a thank-you, a compliment on a well-run event or an offer from a single person to compensate us or assist in the future. A year+ ago we both stopped hosting events because we were pouring too much time and money into them for nothing in return and not one meetup has been held in our local comm since, even though they're all happy enough to bitch about there not being any.

Local comm ain't too bad. It's sorta spread between Eugene and Portland though, which sucks because there's a two hour drive between them. There's like three or four really well-dressed goths that look like a million bucks every time they go to anything. The majority of the comm is sweet though, and about 3/4 of those girls have at least two facial piercings and that shit doesn't look good on anyone (except for one girl with cheek piercings and a nose ring that somehow makes them look goddamn adorable). There's also a few girls that make all their dresses/skirts, to varying degrees of success. Mostly failure. I'm lookin' at you, arm-warmers-and-a-pencil-skirt-with-lace-on-it girl.

We've also got the occasional weeboo in 'kodona' that's really just booty shirts and fishnets with brightly colored wigs and top hats and facepaint smeared all over their faces.

Oh, and since it's Oregon we have crazy activists asking us to do pictures of lolitas squatting and showing their bloomers for National Toilet Day. Also lots of requests to have meetups at burlesque shows and themed fetish bars.

They just decided to kick the people who had never been to a meetup or weren't from the area. It was kind of getting ridiculous.

The Chicago lolis are, if not friends, very well-known acquaintances of each other. It was getting difficult to talk to each other or get anything done.

Are there cliques in the Chigothlolis? That's a different question. I'm going to say there are definitely clear-cut groups. Some of the girls are friends outside of lolita and hang out a lot, and older and newer lolis end up with the same people at meetups. People often stay close to the person who brings then into lolita, and then there are these little side communities that form--my friend and I brought in about five or six people to lolita and we often end up in our own little group, talking about shit and eating cupcakes like a boss. We're not excluding anybody, but we just happen to gravitate to each other. The community keeps an eye out for people who are standing alone and makes a real effort to bring them into the meet-up.

I know there has definitely been friction between a few girls, but they're, you know, decent human beings and decided to just not antagonize each other at meetups and be polite.

there are two comms on my area, one full of itas that ask completely offtopic questions like "where can I take my mother to a spa?" or generally idiotic stuff such as "we are better that 'em hoes because we dress modestly and are innocent!!!!1!1!one!". Seriously, sometimes the comments are so retarded that you start wondering if they're actually serious (they are), and then there is the other one, mostly made of well dressed girls, all very nice and interesting.

I need anon's advice...
The community where I live is pretty dead because no one is interested in hosting meets any more aside me and I got bored of all the unexcitement and stopped.


But recently we had some newbie lolitas join the community and they are all excited to meet, so I thought it would be a good idea to host one again in order to bring the old ones and the new ones together and maybe revive the community a bit. Our older lolis have also expressed interest in attending

The thing is though,the new ones are young and sort of ita. One of them is very opinionated and shops from the local equivalent of Hot Topic and another is one of these new lolitas who think that lolis must have pink wigs, OTT style and is investing in wigns instead of a complete loli outfit. I don't mind OTT sweet as a style but I am not sure if it is suitable for my hometown. The older girls and guys on the other hand used to dress only in classic and gothic styles and in a rather modest way in order to avoid unpleasant situations.

So on one hand I don't want to exclude newbies because hey, most of us started as itas and if we didn't have older lolis or EGL we would have remained as such, but on the other hand I am afraid of how they are going to dress and that we are going to attract unnecessary attention because of them.

Any advices on what to do?

GOD... DAMN IT. I WROTE A WHOLE THING AND ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT.

Anyways, I said something that went like this:

A little patience goes a long way. If the opinionated one is into gothic, try nonchalantly posting an inspirational gothic lolita coord thread to catch her attention instead. Ask others to post some of their favorites too. If she posts ita, it'll be a good opportunity to explain why it isn't working.

For the OTT one, exercise her imagination by posting stuff like "OTT classic"! If she's that enthusiastic about OTT, then let her be. It can't hurt too bad, unless your city/whatever tends to beat up people for wearing unusual clothing.

Maybe share some KERA mag downloads too?

>> No.6280394

>>6280393
About the OTT thing, I think if it's done well it's usually a pleasure for most people to look at (no matter what style). Something messy will not read as clearly and will obviously get looks of disdain. Be very forward about helping her build coords. Suggest for her to post ideas on what she's building, and maybe you can guide her from there.

Mannnn, let me think.
I know he just got out of hospital for getting a sudden infection (pic related, hospital selfie), and has been posting rabbit porn all over Facebook recently. His obsession is getting worse. There are pictures of him holding rabbit droppings too in his albums.

I guess the most recent that I can think of is him turning up at a meet out of nowhere and just creeping around in the corners making everyone feel uncomfortable. A few of the girls announced they were hungry and left the main cafe we were at to go and get some ice cream/food (because they don't have much there) and he followed them on the sly. They only realised he was there after walking ages when from behind them he said he had already eaten and wasn't hungry - so why the fuck did he go in the first place?
I think he ended up leaving shortly after.

Other than that he just takes his camera everywhere with him. The girls never get to see the photos, but he takes a lot of unexpected sneaky photos as well as a selfie of him but with certain people in the background.
Recently he's been asking people to do photoshoots with him - but the only ones I can see him in are the creepy ones on his facebook with his cross dressing friend in a forest being a bit too sexual for my liking.

Oh! and he also recently travelled to a country town where lolita/egl isn't really accepted or popular and almost got beaten up or something along the lines of that.

He's a nice kid that means well, but has big problems.

I have no idea, but we've got two separate comms.
1. Secret smaller comm for more active members but I think it's just there because people don't want to be rude/mean and kick people out. I'm pretty sure it was created just to keep bloomer boy away.
Meets are generally organised in this one because everyone is comfortable with who is in it (mainly older lolitas as opposed to newcomers).
2. Large comm with all of the members ~ where a lot of newbies are added as well as people who are interested in the fashion and out of state lolis who have visited etc. It's where most of our discussions happen and every now and then a meet is organised generally by newer members.

To me it feels like the larger comm is more like initiation into the smaller comm - but it shouldn't be that way because all of the people in our comm are actually really nice and laid back. The only drama we have is with this one dude, other than that everything is totally sweet.

>> No.6280453

Surprisingly we don't really have any annoying loud itas that are noteworthy.

There are a few girls that are new and don't dress all that well. They all start out the same with their Bodyline, as well as asking if things that they've bought are loli-able but they generally keep to themselves and "evolve", so to speak, on their own over time by just being involved in the comm and seeing the other girls I guess.

On the other hand recently we had to lay down a bit of posting rules because it was getting a bit out of hand with the constant repetitive posts about stuff non-lolita related, reviews and "look at what i got from bodyline" (kinda like EGL) as well as things that could of easily been wall posted because they only were directed at a few people.
But now that that's stopped it's pretty sweet and everyone gets along fine - it's a pretty awesome comm.

I agree with >>6280393 newbie for the most part aren't bad people thy just don't really know how to co-ordinate unless they are dedicated about stalking the internet or someone shows them. My local comm was mostly itas when I moved there and I made it my personal mission to bring them up to scratch so that when they went out as a group they wouldn't be misrepresenting the fashion. They were pretty fun people overall and had good ideas for meets they were just poorly dressed. I showed up to meets in well coordinated second hand brand and posted all over about Taobao, comm_sales, and helped people out with auction sites like Y!J. Many newbies just don't know where to find good relatively cheap lolita clothing without resorting to ebay. (I got this as an honest question: "There are places on the internet to get lolita other than ebay and F+F?")

With me and a couple other well dressed lolitas joining most of the community is much better dressed and we all have fun looking fancy together! There are still one or two people who insist on being special snowflake itas but overall it's so much better.

I used to love my community. I really looked forward to meetups and seeing everyone and I always had a fantastic time. Then a special snowflake created a huge scene because she felt left out, picked on a couple girls (myself included), and soured the whole experience. She left the group, then came back a few days later and announced she was changing her style and sold all her lolita stuff. She definitely has a few screws loose. We also have an aspie guy in the group who can't understand the word no. He is clearly only there to creep on the girls. I had been a lone lolita for about a year and a half before joining the group and should have stayed that way. I have been slowly distancing myself from the group and at this point I don't plan on attending any more meetups. It's a shame that it's always one or two people that ruin things for everyone.

not much drama in my community besides this one girl that has been wearing lolita for MAYBE about 3 years ( 2 years ago she didn't even own any loli) who left, and now is back claiming she's been wearing it for more than 7 years. idk if this girl thinks we're stupid or what. we're all too nice to confront her and say "sweetie we remember your first meet-up and how you didn't even wear lolita because you didn't know the fashion, and your first D_L post too." I'm not really sure what sh'es trying to achieve. we have members that have been wearing it for 8+ years (who have never heard of her before about three years ago) and they're not treated any differently than anyone else, I'm not sure wtf the point of lying about this is...

Jealous fatty detected. I've never seen Lauri say a single nasty thing to or about anyone. And being in remission hasn't stopped her from getting plenty of negative attention, so saying she isn't getting ENOUGH is a silly claim.

Also, she is... what, 4'11"? I'd be shocked if she fits in the stuff people gave to her. But I suppose she should be passing it on instead of making money off a gift. Unless she's hurting for money due to paying for bills for cancer AND Parkinson's.

This is ridiculous. Lauri doesn't have any "bad rep" - there's just like 3 people on here trying to make it seem like she does, or making her have one. In my experience everyone either likes her, doesn't know her, or doesn't care (because they don't know her well). There are so many girls in Chicago that you can't know/love everyone, but I can't imagine anyone actually hating her.. Well, I take that back, because some Chicago girls can find an excuse to hate ANYONE (some of y'all are just NUTS), but you know, rational people notsomuch.

As for the MegaMeet, the prizes thing was insane. We waited at the bean a long time past meeting time (I was late myself and I still found people to get me to the right place), and prizes didn't even START to happen until about an hour after we got to the final location. About 4-5 hours after the meetup started, Lauri gets a text complaining that all the gifts are gone and why didn't she wait?? Why the HELL would you think you can show up THAT LATE and not miss out on things? The meetup time was very clearly posted, if you come late to the party you're going to miss out. DUH. Come on time and quit bitching. Or come late, and still quit bitching, because when over 50 people are meeting, we can't be stuffed to make sure we wait on your sorry ass.

Was the megameet run perfectly? No, it's impossible to run something like that perfectly. It never has been. No event ever has been. But it was really fucking kickass and run really well, I think. Lauri did a great job and we all had a lot of fun...or at least I did! But I'm sure people could find some nasty shit to say about every individual that day, because the kind of people who can find nasty shit to say, can always find nasty shit to say.

I've never seen ANY of the girls, and I know like 75% of the ones who go to meets, say or do anything remotely negative to a newcomer. We all try and be really welcoming. This is why when you see stupid rumors on /cgl/ about us nobody can ever list particulars about how somebody ran them off at their first meet. I'm very shy with new members (I'm working on it, being shy sucks) but there are a few girls who always go way out of their way to be super friendly to new people. I think it's usually the people who sit around staring at the wall and don't answer when 4-5 girls try and start a conversation that come on here and post about how we scared them off. If you aren't going to a meet-up to be social and talk to new people then just stay home.

You said the wigs are ratty and bad looking? then tell me why are these wigs so popular? I think I'd rather have these wigs then machine made ones that anybody can get. I would rather have handmade ones that I can call one of a kind. I think for not being a big name company I think shes done well in presenting her wigs.

I think its bad that other lolita's have the nerve to bash another for silly little things. I was so nervous the first time I went to a meet, and the few lolitas that have been bashed on here are actually the first people that talked to me and made me feel welcome.

I herd that the reason for lolita is to make girls feel pretty and cute, bashing lolitas about things like "that's not lolita" or "these wigs are ugly" makes lolitas feel bad about themselves and upset about what they do. And really you basher's should feel ashamed about yourselves, bashing others to make you feel better about yourselves. How sad.

Wow, you really must be new here. The wigs aren't popular and the Facebook page has under 200 likes. She sells them to her friends. When you have a business, you need to be prepared to hear negative feedback. I would rather have a machine made wig that looked professional, than a wig that someone took the time to make, but didn't take the time to nicely photograph or display.

Whoever told you that was the reason for lolita was wrong. Lolita is a fashion, and if you're not fashionable you get the CGL Fashion Police. It's no different than a star getting reamed on E! because of their poor fashion decisions. Lolitas who don't care about their wigs or style should not be dressing in such a high-maintenance fashion. Stop being lazy, and people will stop calling you lazy.

Why would anyone feel ashamed for protecting/pointing out the standards of an expensive fashion? Lolita isn't a place for the broken little girls of the world to congregate and hold hands.

And honestly, you are protecting the person who is the most-likely to stab you in the back. She is very nice on the surface, but I can tell you haven't been talking to very many lolitas outside of your immediate circle.

Well I wouldn't want to see anyone wearing a rainbow MLP wig with lolita either but I think the bob looks cuter in real life instead of in a shitty point-and-shoot photo taken at night in bad lighting but maybe it's ugly and I have shit taste. Don't know, don't care. Just wanted to show some alternate pictures of her wigs.

Also if you're gonna wear a wig of dubious quality that has no skintop and instead has that fake top part, you NEED to wear hair accessories to hide that.

I have two of her wigs and you don't have to wear accessories to hide anything, cause there isn't anything you have to hide.

If you don't have one don't talk like you do cause its not fair to the buyer to get bad information or for the seller to get negativity on a product you don't have.

If not, first, you sound like a 12-year old and second, you seem to know nothing about wigs.
Why shouldn't I talk and how is it not fair? I can see the wig, I can criticise it if it looks like shit. Granted, lots of wigs worn with lolita don't have a skintop, but the only reason that this is usually ok and we put up with it is that we wear hair accessories that cover that fake-looking top. If you're gonna wear a wig with that sort of fake-looking top where all the hair starts from the point in the center you NEED accessories. It looks like a party wig otherwise, how dumb can you be not to get this?

I never said you can't talk hey free speech all you want. But when people get false information from someone that doesn't own the particular product then its obviously not advice that should be given.

I'll admit I haven't been a lolita long, and I've only worn one other wig other then Gwens. But I do have two of hers and I like the ones I got from her, I would rather wear hers then the other one that I've wore.

Additionally as being a fairly new lolita I do not own many accessories, and I have complemented and asked where I got my wig.

That explains it. You are a newbie, and you have no experience with wigs. There is no shame in that at all, we all start somewhere, but that means that you are no expert on wigs and you can't judge - as is obvious- what is a good quality wig and what isn't.

Hmm. I dunno. They aren't presented in the best manner, but they're not as bad as they look in pictures. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos to prove it, but I was at the meet up and examined a wig she gave away as a prize. It was quite soft yet the fibers were thick. It's weird seeing it look shiny like in >>6283428 , but then again, I was seeing it under sunlight. It seems like she's seen the conversations about her and her business. I'd be a little angry too, but the best thing I'd do if I were in her place is to work on improving her business and public image. Little things like improving photographic quality and showing consistency (like any brand would), reaching out to a larger target market (rather than just selling them to friends who are likely to give out biased feedback), making personal fb page more private (seriously, that shit can ruin your rep), etc. She could really benefit on focusing on those things instead of talking too much about her personal life (as we've already discussed here), and I imagine that it would keep her small business running longer if she's serious about it.

Long time no post cgl.

Yes this is not a wig review post, but I feel like adding something useful to all this ridiculous and incessant drama my community is fueling.

All wigs have a tendency to have a shine under flash, which explains the shininess in >>6283428
Now I've owned far too many wigs since getting into this fashion. Cyperous, Galbanara, MintyMix, Lockshop, GLW, Fantasy Sheep, Lucaille, Alpaca (taobao).
Cyperous is by far the best, and you pay for it.
Galbanara- there have been a few people who've said it and I agree with them- they are great for 1-2 wears and start getting ratty and fall apart. I've only ever gotten Prima-H, so this was hugely disappointing.
MintyMix- my absolute favorite. They keep their shape for a while after a few wears, they respond well to maintenance and can decently return to their original shape. Can throw these babies around and not worry about them getting tangled too much. I suspect it has to do with the fiber coating, as they (the fibers) have this softness, subtle shine to them.
Lockshop- been a while, bought a hime wig when they first started out. Decent quality, got a little ratty after 2 wears. Perhaps they have improved, been wanting to find out but shipping is too awful right now.
GLW- their wigs were decent once upon a time, have a few classical wigs that I love, but if anything is ratty right out of the bag, it's GLW wigs and it only gets worse with wear. They start losing fibers now very quickly.
Fantasy Sheep- hit or miss, small sizes, wig held up but the fibers looked fake despite natural color.
Lucaille- nice for quick, cheap, large head sized wigs but start losing fibers after a few wears.
Alpaca- very thin wig, thin fibers, got tangled VERY quickly.

I also own a Gwen wig (pic). Split wig, detachable ponytails. Had a few of these from GLW and MintyMix and have to say this one is FAR better than any of the GLW ones I've had. It's not tangling with every little head turn, the base is full, the tails are long and rather luscious. The wig though is as soft as MintyMix wigs and feels more natural to the touch then MintyMix. I still like MintyMix due to less fly-aways, but unruly hair is just a common fact with ANY sort of hair so I accept it as coming with the territory. Gwen's don't have a coating to the fibers so they are thinner by a smidge than Mintymix, however the amount of wefts she adds maintains fullness for when you wear them.
The price she sells these for is low and affordable for being handmade, so I do recommend her wigs when on a tight budget. I've bought another handmade wig before from another girl (cannot remember the name, sorry) and it was more expensive and fell apart in the first wear! This wig is holding up pretty well thus far!
"Oh but tight budget= taobao right?" Wrong. As seen above, Fantasy Sheep, Lucaille, Alpaca, all from Taobao, have their set of problems that you have to risk. With shipping, the wigs come out to the same as Gwen's pricing. You can also go directly to her and say I want a wig in a particular style with whatever highlights with whatever color peeking out from under the primary color, etc etc etc.

So at this time, I'd buy from Cyperous, MintyMix, Gwen, and would like to give Lockshop another try.

The clips. She even matched the plastic clip to the color

He wasn't slapping people. He was throwing it. As I've said in a few posts, I took the fucking thing away from him and ignored him after he did it to me. I don't know how many other girls he did it to.

I generally treat him like a toddler because he acts like one. He does stupid things for attention and doesn't understand if you tell him "no", so I just pretend he's not even there and don't bother telling him off. I tried when I first joined the comm (which probably tells people who I am now) and realised how futile it is. I still don't understand why he hasn't been fucking banned.

I was one of the people that gave Lauri a few Lolita items. Just to clear things up, they were a GIFT, given freely and openly and with no strings attached. I felt good doing that for her and i think she felt good receiving the gift ... if she wants to sell the stuff she cannot fit into or that isn't her style so she can buy something that is that is FINE. If i don't have an issue with it, why would any of you? Lauri never asked for pity or handouts or anything like that so she really shouldn't be punished for something she didn't even ask for.
