My dream is that someday there will be an image board for lolita/jfash completely separate from 4chan. /Cgl/ is the best place left for discussing lolita mainly because the anonymous image board format is superior to all others (live journal, face book, blogs, etc.) Unfortunately it's embedded into a website like 4chan, which is basically a cesspool despite being amusing at times. Anybody else feel this way? I mean, 4chan is alright, but I feel kind of like a hostage sometimes.

I fuckin hate people who refuse to wear makeup with their coord or cosplay. Why would you go through the trouble of spending all of this time and money only to look like sickly tired horseshit? And it would be so bad if it wasn't for the hoards of tumblrinas rushing to their defense and shooting anyone down who actually loves makeup. I swear to god if I hear one more person say "makeup feels like lying" I'll puke. I'm sorry I don't naturally look like a magical Japanese fourteen year old I need some damn concealer.

True. Lolita has overrun /cgl/ at this point. The only cosplay stuff anymore is the convention threads and help threads, which I don't mind scrolling over, but it's kind of sad for them. I used to come here for cosplay back in the day, and it wasn't like this.
I think cosplayers deserve to get /cgl/ back, and jfash should get its own board. I guess lolita should technically be in /fa/ but lol no

People who whine about never "having money to do anything fun" but meanwhile have no problem producing more kids they can't take care of, can't commit to school to get a job at anything higher than fast food, eating out thrice a week, and in general having a really entitled attitude towards society for not giving them enough despite not actually having earned anything.

And I wouldn't be so burned about it if these slobs could stay off my radar, but unfortunately they've embedded themselves so far into my friend circle that I have to put up with their backhanded envy. Apparently I'm "spoiled" because I can afford lolita due to not having babies, finishing graduate school, and working my ass off. When I politely point out that I made choices and sacrifices to get where I am when they give me snark, they just throw excuses at me and make up bullshit.

There's this one girl in my comm with the annoying habit of buying pieces from sales and auctions, and then selling them again straight away. She does it with her costumes and figures too, but it's the worst with lolita clothes.

One day she'll be posting on every page about her new purchases, boasting about how cheap she got them for, and then next thing you know she's selling them on the sales comm with some stupid markup. Sometimes she doesn't even wear them first, and decides while it's at her SS that it won't fit, or she doesn't want it anymore.

She can't even afford to buy most of them and whines about being on the benefit and or not being able to pay for her orders.

Sorry the vent thread is in autosage, but damn this girl grinds my gears for someone that's just buying and selling.

Lolitas grind my gears mostly. They're the weeaboo equivalent of crazy cat lady. So socially fucked up in the head that they think dressing like a tiny child and yelling at other people for not looking correctly like a child.

They put on clothing for the sheer sake of yelling at other people wearing clothing.

4Chan is so dynamic that bad things from internet come to be known and discussed easier, instead of tolerated like in Tumblr. If I was to choose between witty opinions about a hobbie, and being in a separate community like Tumblr or Reddit... the answer is simple.
4chan shares "the worst " with all internet, you won't ever find a clean site, unless is an abandoned Lolita forum full of asspats.

I could see the reasoning behind having Jfash and cosplay on one board when /cgl/ was first established and neither were as big as they are now, but both have grown to the point where the board moves fast enough that it wouldn't hurt to split the board. /con/ could be re-purposed to an actual convention and cosplay board, and /cgl/ could be changed to exclusively Jfash.

Both boards will slow down, but at least less popular threads won't sink as fast, so there would be more thread variety.

I come here for cosplay because the only other options are Coscom and r/cosplay. Coscom has strict moderation and way too many newbs pretending to be experienced cosplayers and giving shitty advice. r/cosplay is more focused on oggling finished cosplays than discussing the hobby, and Reddit's upvote/downvote system is fucking awful.

>> No.8458710

>>8458555
Probably because babies grow a lot within a span of a month, and 18 months is different than 24 months. For someone older, a month is not as significant which is why I don't define myself at 230 months old.

>> No.8458910

>>8458555
Because young kids develop very fast in the span of a few months. You can have two 2 year olds who are both learning to speak and are about the same level, but one is 24 months and the other is 32 months. It's much more significant if you say 24 months than 2.

People who act like not wearing makeup and not being dressed to the nines is a big accomplishment and/or blog about it for attention.

There was this chick who went backpacking through South America and of all the things she could've blogged about, she blogged about how backpacking made her 'change her views' and stop wearing so much makeup. Half of the blog post was how about insecure she felt next to some chick wearing head to toe designer, not gonna link it because it's on Jizzabel and it's irrelevant.

Like, are you really so starved for attention that you can't not blog about looking normal? And it's mostly Americans who pull this shit too.

It's because Americans have gullible, pants-on-head retarded ideals about female beauty standards. Women in media are never seen without makeup, even when alleging they aren't wearing any. Even males wear makeup and or shooped now. So of course the average woman is going to feel incredibly inadequate when compared to media bitches via commercials, movies, billboards, magazines, and internet ads.
Not many understand that most average women are a bit saggy, have dark circles, have a couple zits, and stretchmarks.

I've noticed that watching American vs. UK media, American shows are full of good-looking people whereas UK shows are full of fat/ugly/old/normal people. Like in an American school series the ugly nerd is played by a good-looking person with unflattering glasses and a bad haircut where in a UK series they would be played by an actual ugly person. It's probably harder to feel good about yourself when above-average attractive people are constantly being portrayed as average and below.

What really grinds me is lolitas who think that they own the dressing rooms. I once went to a fairly small con few years ago, and i was pretty excited to hear there's going to be a lolita fashion show. I didn't really know about lolitas back then.
Suddenly, there the comes the group of salty bitches who think they own everything. I was fetching my things from the dressing room, (it was okay to leave things there if you didn't leave them everywhere in the room), and the flood of nasty elitist like lolitas came in. No kidding, they were almost literally looking down on others, while bringing their ~sugoi precious burando~ to the filthy, small dressing room that was just not good enough for them. So, i was getting my stuffs, and this one bigass ~super kawaii leader lolita~ bumps into me, and tells me that "if i don't have anything serious to do here, then get the fuck out, we need this room more than you".

So yeah, that was my first experience (and the only one!) with lolitas since then. Good job, random lolitas. You gave a really good image of others as well back then.

why in the actual fuck would you need to bring every single cosplay you have? You're going to be spending your entire con changing in the hotel room. And people cut corners to do this; for example, they tend to keep the make up on. Every one of their cosplays from "yaoi the kid" to "that guy from league" all have that stupid winged eye liner. I was browsing a forum once and I swear some chick was bringing 17 costumes to one con. And they were all casual cosplays like pajama versions or neko versions or a high school AU that required no effort.

Seriously, just bring two or three cosplays and rock them like the Bubble Bowl.

I'm really not liking the fact that a girl in my comm has been gathering a lot of negative attention lately. Especially with the way that people have been talking about her, she has been making my comm look really bad. My comm is pretty much super quiet and drama free otherwise, but with her videos and such, she's putting every single one of us out there along with her, whether some of us like it or not.

I really feel like she needs to be kicked out of the comm, but at the same time, she hasn't actually done anything that has personally attacked it. She's pretty nice in person, despite having her online persona being vilified negatively.

I just don't know what to do. She considers me as her friend, too. Maybe I should just slowly isolate myself away from her?

Problem is they have tapered ends and their length also pulls them a bit flatter. I'm afraid if you cut one it would be bushy and poufy unless you can manage to re-taper the ends a lot and then you risk it looking stringy at the bottom. The biggest reason they often look the way they do is that they tangle very very easily and people don't use proper wig styling products to tame them or keep them well combed and braid them to store them. They need constant amounts of attention to even look as good as they do on the site. They are the most high maintainance wig I've ever had. But the knock-offs are thin and scraggly.

Bitch I've been practicing for years and pouring a ridiculous amount of time and money into this hobby, I'm not your guidebook to be consulted. I can answer sensible questions like "could you recommend a fabric for this" or "how should I seal this part" or shit but if you straight out say you're going to copy my cosplay, get the hell out of my face. I stopped posting WIP photos online because I got seriously fucking tired of these questions. It's so unbelievably rude and the worst part is that people actually think other cosplayers are required to help their lazy asses out and get mad when you don't answer in enough detail. And if you do answer their question, they never fucking thank you or even credit you for your help.

When photogs accuse cosplayers of being drama whores. More photogs I know are shit talking two-faced catty bitches than cosplayers. They spend almost the whole shoot talking about how they don't like another photog's work and why they're better than them but most cosplayers will go days or even a whole con without talking crap about other cosplayers. The photog threads on here are out of control, they are even worse than Jessica Nigri threads with all the samefagging, trash talking, and defending themselves anonymously. They don't even have the excuse of being high school and college age girls, as most of them are middle aged men and some even married, with kids. If you want to be a drama mongerer fine, but don't talk shit about cosplayers when you are worse about it than they are.

THANK YOU. Photogs tend to be cattier than cosplayers and judge each others' work constantly, even more than the cosplayers I know. They're extremely possessive of their photos and usually demand to have their huge ass watermark plastered over it so that it covers half of the photo, throw a fit if you suggest a small edit and overall act like they're great artists and they painted this superb picture even though it's a photography of an OTHER PERSON'S WORK. They have the same rights to a photo of themselves.

I mean fuck I know fashionistas are usually catty as fuck when it comes to weight, but lolitas take it on a whole new other level! Never have I seen such rage and butthurt in even the most normalfag, high-end designer fashions! I don't know if its just because this is its a Japanese fashion, which makes it naturally on the small side and thus non Asians feel the need to endlessly glorify it and keep out the disgusting white piggus (ironic enough, I never seem to see this kind of mean, fat phobic behavior from Japanese or Asian lolitas!

This is completely untrue and if you actually believe this, you've either never spoken to a lolita or are a horrible seamstress.

She's so bad with money she can't even pay me back the $40 she owes me for buying all the father's day gifts. She's taking me out to eat once a month for a $10 meal, which is nice but really if you can't pay back your sister $40 how are you going to spend $400+ a month on baby necessities? She's back on birth control since I essentially yelled at her for thinking she was financially/emotionally ready for a child.

I truly believe there should be some IQ test or in-home evaluation done before having kids. But that interferes with "muh freedoms." If China can limit each family to one child (two if first-born is a daughter) why can't we do something to make sure our kids are at least not being raised by the government?

>too many smart nerds I know, male and female, never ever want to have children
Same here. I have a very intelligent friend who's going to be a science teacher dating an intelligent physicist who currently teaches undergrad physics. Neither of them want kids but at least they're going into teaching fields where they can help some kids. I guess if you're going into a profession where you spend all your time with kids (teenagers) then I can see why you wouldn't want some of your own.

>>8466313
A method of birth control people still don't know how to use properly. Maybe I'm being too harsh since my state is once of the lowest educated with one of the highest teen pregnancy rates. Pretty much everyone here is Catholic so instead of going to the public health center for condoms or birth control in fear of strict parents/family finding out they're having premarital sexthey just have unprotected sex and keep the baby when they end up pregnant.

I am sick and fucking tired of this mentality that is becoming common among cosplayers where they justify making a costume solely on "Well the design is cute, so I am going to do it!" For fucks sake, if you just want to make cute designs, don't cosplay a character, just throw together the outfit for every day wear. Then they try to give bullshit excuses about how, "I don't have time to watch anime, read manga or play video games, but I still love the character design!" If you are going to put dozens of hours into making a costume, you can put the 6 hours it takes to watch a 13 episode anime series, or read through a manga. The fact that there are asspatters all around who condone this mentality is what makes it fucking worse, and when ever a fan of the franchise gets upset when they see someone cosplaying from something they don't know shit about, they run back to their hugboxes about the big meanie gatekeeper fans who are trying to prevent them from enjoying something that should be for everyone.

In a Facebook post I tried to say that 99% of the time, a wig will look better than real hair and be so much more worth it in the long run. And I was instantly hit with these lines. I played nice so that I wouldn't get kicked from the group (it really is a helpful group) but really?

I fucking hate the people that say wigs are too expensive so they'll just cut/dye their own hair. Even though a decent wig can cost as little as $15, and a cut/dye job can cost way more than that and still look shitty (especially if you're going to a hair stylist).

No I went to a local con as space dandy, and this one guy everytime he saw me would go "Dude it isn't the same without the belt and ACTUAL shoes"

I reused some leather boots I had and put some flattened sheet metal on the fronts, I didn't do a wig and just let my hair grow to 6 inches and combed it back to look like a small dandy look.

Not as bad as the time I went as Kamina, but eh

There are only a handful of characters that can look presentable without a wig and even they often look better with one. I think wigs look better in most lolita coordinates as well unless you have exceptional styling skills and good hair.

It's one of my biggest peeves in the whole fashion. Wrinkled clothing is so lazy, and neatly ironed bodyline literally looks better than creased and crumped-looking brand.

>> No.8472408

This is one of my peeves too. Nothing looks good if it's a wrinkled rag.

Also, most JFahion styles are a package. The clothes, accessories, hair, makeup, nails, scene, posing, photos. You can't just throw on a lolita dress and neglect the rest and expect to look good. Even the light makeup tutorials are several steps and lashes, and hair or wig is always well-styled, nails aren't chipped, shoes and socks are correct etc. I see way too many people skimp on the details. Not a good idea.

Closet Lolitas. Those people who don't wear the fashion but are 'into it' and get on here and other places and discuss it with a bunch of absolutely value-less opinions. If you don't actively wear lolita fashion, your opinion about it means nothing to me.

>> No.8472458

I get that you should look polished if you're doing a photoshoot or going to a fancy event, but wearing a pound of makeup + false lashes + a wig + fake nails for everyday things just isn't practical IMO. For everyday looks, I think it's perfectly fine to just do something nice with your normal hair, throw on some bb cream, and head out the door.

this on so many levels. Like, anybody can cosplay i won't say they can't or shouldn't. It's a hobby open to anyone who wants to. But there IS a difficulty to it and costume making. you could weigh 300lbs and dress as Wonder Woman, idgaf, do it! have fun!

And baby-centric parents don't give a fuck about what anyone else gives a fuck about. Counting milestones by months with other mommies is the important thing.

You can do a pretty hairstyle without a wig. You can have a 15 minute polished makeup routine and care for your skin. You can wear unwrinkled clothes. You can tend your mani so it doesn't look chipped. That's what I mean, those ARE the bare basics to look polished, and even more so in lolita. They do not take a ton of time or require vanity. Think Parisian women and their effortless chic. They don't spend hours at the mirror but they make the effort to look polished. Less is just lazy and a bit slobbish. Throwing on a lolita dress and neglecting the rest just looks stupid.

I get treated like I'm a mangy pup who hasn't worked a day in my life, because I'm not as far ahead as my highschool friends. She bemoans to my face the hardship of not being able to afford lolita as much as she would like because of the mortgage on their inner city apartment she just bought with her partner that will be payed off in a mere eight years. And when ever I excitedly buy a new lolita piece she puts me in my place by flashing her latest purchases to everyone in the comm. She laughs at my hard work, inferring that I wouldn't know what it was like to work as hard as her or that my struggles aren't equal to hers.

It upsets me that she is trying to turn something I love so much into something competitive...

I ramble. I'm sorry. Basically I would just like some people who are well off to recognize sometimes they've got no fucking clue what a struggle is. And that to pretend that they do, is incredibly demeaning. I wish they would be grateful for what they have.

Anyway, people who have grown up with privileges stepping upon those trying to rise above their lot. That's what fucking grids my gears.

The well-fed don't know the struggles of the starving, that sort of thing.

To me, the worst kind of cancer is that crabs-in-a-bucket mentality when people try to drag you down with them because you make them insecure about their lives.
I grew up in a small town of barely 5k people, never had all the things my neighbours and friends had. i was also a bit ugly as a child so all my peers would always get swarmed with attention because their mums and dads dressed them in cute clothes and did their hair, and I only got hand-me-downs and the boy chop. They'd laugh at me if I didn't have the latest Disney VHS tape or whatever and one of their parents had even called me a monkey at some point because I had a unibrow and dirty clothes. My mum had been making ~€200/mo at the time which is extremely little for my country's standards.
Then by some stroke of luck I moved up, improved everything there was to improve, started earning more money and travelling more often. Every time I showed up in my hometown my mum would tell me all the shite they'd been slinging behind my back and one of the most common things is 'she thinks she's too good for us'. I didn't fall pregnant at 15 or marry a knacker so I'd say yeah, I am.
