Leggo, seagulls.Let's have a unpopular opinion thread where we don't actually end up off fucking topic, aight?>Really hate SweetI fucking hate sweet lolita so much, I much rather hang out with an ita.
scene needs to make a comeback
>>8330992X2 boxxy needs to quit that animal hosting gig she has and should be a convention promoter
>>8331005boxxy?havent heard that name in a whilewhat shes doing these days?animal hosting??
>>8331016http://animalist.com/host/catie-wayne/
>>8331016you know how many mid-20's/late 20's guys would HNNG at a woman who just randomly did this todaywww.youtube.com/watch?v=Pctbu0XWlZw
We have several threads where blogs are mentioned so let's have a thread for blogs only. >your favourite blog>blogs to recommend>blogging in general>Is the big time of blogs over, and has everyone moved on to fb and tumblr? >Is starting a blog now worth it?>What to people want to see nowadays? What would YOU like to see in a blog?
>>8330269with all the nulled themes out there there's not much effort needed although you then have to deal with the fact that some people making the nulled themes like to leave little goodies inside. with that said you could always buy the theme or use free ones.
>>8330284>The follow me links all currently lead somewhere too, unless you're trying to say the links are broken? (in which case I will fix/change that)There's literally nothing there right now.I think that the top menu bar looks so much better now. If you need to add more options later that's great, but leaving broken links just frustrates visitors. Adding a link or two to your "Links" soon would a very good thing to do.
>>8330407That's really weird, because this is what it looks like for me. Can anyone else tell me if it's blank? If it looks that way for everyone I'm not really sure what's causing that. In which case I may just end up finding a completely new layout cause this one has been a little annoying to work with.Also I took some time to re-format the list I had into a spreadsheet, does this work better? I just stole the formatting idea from the taobao spreadsheets.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YYl5y010HLVm8LHN76FKwRUpz3LZAI9Z2Mi3b2RIzcA/edit?usp=sharingAnyways, yeah you're right about blank/broken links being confusing and frustrating, I'll remember that for the future when adding/removing things like that.
>>8329545I started using Google Friend Connect to follow other blogs and it seems like people use this to exchange comments/discover blogs? If I comment on someone's blog, usually 50% of the time they comment back. There are also facebook groups for it but I don't like them as they are too full of "norms". That is to say, I think the people aren't really interested in kawaii things so they are just commenting because it's in the group rules. A friend recommended it so I gave it a go for the last few days but I think I'm gonna leave. Also more than half my comments are me replying to people so it's really not that many ^_^
>>8330229Wordpress doesn't allow ads if you ever want to go that route (or even affiliate links) and I heard that it's favourited in search results because of the connection with google/google+ comments. I haven't had a great time with blogger, it deletes posts/whole blogs sometimes but since I use ads and I don't want to pay for hosting then I'm stuck with blogger for now.
Post bad Lolita outfits and bad handmade goods.
>>8329963I wonder what her wardrobe looks like?
>>8327887I-I I think I want to be the DIY princess...
>>8329963I follow her because its fun to watch people make stuff. A lot of her stuff isn't very lolita but lolita inspired I guess? I suck at sewing, so its nice to see little hacks for doing stuff like feeding ruffles instead of painstakingly pinning them all. I tried it out and it worked. Sorry not sorry?
>>8330198I know its a pretty bad dress and all... But this was kinda cute, not something that you need to post on youtube by any means, but cute none the less.
>>8329963if she only added elastic to the back, it would fit much better
Old one is RIP
This is so fucking horrible and trendfaggy and I hate everything it stands for.
>>8330307omg her foundation looks so grey on her. i bet with a little makeup and hair styling also fuck those shoes she'd look half decent
>>8330684i always felt like fashion has much to do with context, don't you?
>>8329589I never understand her or that flickr page either. I think they run a lolita flickr page too but it's full of itas.
>>8330952The lace veil and scepter are missing tho.
New lolita general, old one on on autosage >>8325303Menuette bouquet OP sold out under 5 minutes, jsk just a hair after. Who is buying out all these releases?
>>8331002I got it in the Harajuku store.>>8331004They apply sales tax, but take 10% off the total purchase price (excluding tax)
>>8330325Imagine if AP did an MTO for Chocolate Rosette or Misty Sky. They'd be drowning in cash just from the Chinese community.
>>8330988I think this only works if you have a tourist visa?
>>8331017Haha, yes. We're actually talking about writing letters for a Misty Sky MTO. However it lacks a driving force since it's not a recent release and there's not a lot of group hype. >>8331002There's also a 5-10% (?) student discount as well, I think you have to be a Japanese high school student to get it though. >>8331021I wonder if I can compound discounts?
>>8331023Don't forget your tax refund. They don't do them during their Grand Bazaar sale though.CG-sama, when are you coming to Japan? C-can we meet up?
Can we have a bad tutorials thread? Starting with Michelle Phan's "gothic lolita" makeup tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk6lWXSE5IY&list=PLC51BF7B835060976
>>8330751I never get tired of watching this because it is more or less her not even doing the makeup right and it only makes her a quick 15 minute joke instead of an ongoing insult.
>>8330770Same here, I wear glasses and when I wear contacts in my prescription, somehow it's a bit blurrier for a while when I put them in. I don't want to wait half an hour, so I usually put them in afterward. I never had a problem with that!
>>8330680What program does she use?
>>8330846She said what it was in her Lady Gaga video. Not too long after she started getting called out on her videos about face fluctuations when the program wouldn't work properly and she'd use it to try and slim down parts of her face.
>>8330464I'm wondering too. I really liked the effect.
i wish i had another hobbydo you ever feel like sometimes, sayingfuck this shit, im out?i mean, no one cares but, i feel that way sometimes.
Where'd the thread go?>Cons>Meets>Cosplayers
>>8330151There's a cosmeet going on today in Melbourne. And a japanese festival tomorrow too.
>>8330698what's so bad about him?
>>8330698Someone sounds salty.That you Beethy?
>>8330962Doubt that. He hasn't spoken about him in years.
>>8330962>>8330412Ahahah that Beethy guy, now he is nasty
bad makeup thread!used to be friends with this Lolita on fb, she'd always post pics with makeup like this. i sincerely hope she was joking.
>>8330896I think they mean how the lines look even and straight>>8330858Don't despair Anon, look at that shoop. She probably just fixed it up after the photo was taken
>>8330852We will never be free of the Levi eyebrow syndrome.
>>8330905
>>8330894
>>8330903Thats exactly what I mean. Im too tired to look for shoop, but as it is looks super good and Im mad. I have friends who can do that sort of stuff too and here I am, eyeball against the mirror, trying. qq
1,000Y Sale on Rakuten!
>>8330164Maybe something like white tights, black shoes, black purse, a big black necklace, black wig, white headdress?
>>8328666pics as requested. a US 5.5 measures 23cm exactly for me.>sorry for all the dust
>>8329919holy shit, this is actually really cute
>>8329919of course watch it come out on the English site while I'm out of the country for two weeks and don't want to log onto PayPal on iffy internet connections then end up missing my chance to get the color I want in my size.
>tfw your free shipping Bodyline parcel arrives faster than your $70 shipping heavy EMS Taobao parcelWhat is this wizardry. My Bodyline order got to the UK in about two weeks, my EMS parcel shipped at the same time but isn't going to be here until Monday. I think it's because their new quarter value declaration meant it cleared customs quickly.
Put your generic /cgl/ feels here. Cosplay, lolita, dating, anything. Any and all feels allowed. No main topic besides topic of feels which means ANY and ALL feels.
>>8330995absolute princess, you are entitled to feel great at all times in life
>>8330994if you truly were capable of sympathy nothing i do should be able to retract that feeling
>>8330915If it does nothing then why not just get rid of it and save yourself the hassle of bleeding every month and not having to spend money of pills or an IUD or having to empty a cup? No big deal for me to want it out. its my body. Dont see why it should be your problem.
Glad to see everything is going well with the feel thread. Thank gawd I made it an overall feels thread. Everything is on the railing. Good job me. /selffive
>>8330982>>8330989You're so fucking stupid like woah. >you're just pretending though, right?
New Help thread, last one is in autosage
>>8328098I ended up buying that exact stuff from dharma, I spent like an hour double checking everything to make sure I bought a dye that would possibly work this time.
>>8330340The coscraft images posted are from a UK based company that ships in 2-3 days. I'm going to assume this is a Britfag who is going to MCM next weekend with a last-minute idea and no time to do it in, so ordering from the states isn't really viable.
>>8330233I have thick waist-length hair and I get it under wigs just fine by using the pin curl method, I wouldn't worry about getting a 'bigger' wig just for thick hair because there are ways around it.My friend's Mami wig has the drills as separate pieces that you clip in from underneath with sliding pins, couldn't you find one in that style and just wear the drills higher up?
Help me, seagulls. I want to buy two colours of RIT dye (Evening blue and Kelly green) so I can get the dye colour I want HOWEVER I have not been able to find these two colours anywhere in store and if I wish to import them then I have to go through a government process as dyes are restricted imports. I live in Victoria, Australia, so if anyone could help me find these two dyes in-store, it would be a godsend!
>>8330114amateur does spring to mind.but for what you're going for its not too bad.the mask (cowl?) looks pretty good but could use a hood.Star looks well made and the stripes are decent.was it a kick-ass style captain 'merica you were trying for?maybe dirty the whole thing up a bit.
Are there any cosplay photogs on /cgl/? What kind of experiences have you guys had with personal photoshoots? I'm likely going to see if I can do one of my own now that I have a shitload more experience with a camera than I did the previous con year. Any things to be aware of?
>>8328244Lol you're fucking retarded... von wong got a model to cosplay, not a cosplayer to model
>>8330504There was more than one person in that series tard, and many of them were cosplayers (some were just regular staff who wanted in on the fun)
>>8328418Well, I happen to be one, a white male who falls into the not exactly successful, but somewhat known category on my local scene.(Birmingham, Alabama).
>>8330958is that from a lack of Asians in Alabama?
>>8331001Not a lack of asians,(We have a smaller population than most states) but it seems there are hardly any asian cosplay photographers down here.
New ebay thread-- share your buys, finds, anything that's cute or nifty. Reviews and links welcome.
Are you totally screwed if you have an unpaid item????
>>8328777What words do you search for when you look for mori stuffs?
>>8330796What?
>>8330796why wouldn't you pay for something you bought?
>>8330796I think they record you and leave it as a warning. It's what happened to me.
