>>10907714 I agree, look up the parking pass and its real easy if you get the red deck or blue deck. I did this back in Feb at the ATL Comic Con. The deck will have elevators that go up to GWCC, at least the Red Deck did.

Something's been bothering me for a month, who decided it would be a good idea to do Friday-Mon for a con, but have their literal after party event be on a Saturday night, same night as a rave? I'm coming from out of town, so I have to drive on a Sunday but that shit seems fucking weird to me.

What are your thoughts on dark elves?

>>10910530 The difference is that it's dark brown, not an unnatural color like metallic or hot pink. You can't put body paint on for any shade that can be natural in the US and get away with it.
Also Frieren's skin only shows for her face (ears), hands, and a tiny sliver of neck and upper chest. It is really just face/hand painting to change you skin color for her and even harder to pass publicly.

>>10910625 My point is that I do not understand why you would want to see someone cosplay a boring recolor in the first place

>>10910632 because it's legendary
You can get two Frieren cosplayers face off and recreate the battle scene.
have you not seen people who cosplay the statue versions?

Haha whoopsie, looks like I let lil ol SuperFanCon slip through the cracks, and that's this weekend. Are they ever gonna have a consistent venue? They're on at least the fourth that I'm aware of, and now it's Dadeland Mall of all places. And after finally feeling ready to forgive them for their pathetic 2020 showing the week before lockdowns (like 40 fucking attendees total), I can't make it cause I'm moving. Oh well!

>>10909614 Looks like a seller badge, probably means she was behind a table for most of the convention. Lolita equivalent of pajama pants with a button down for work calls, why bother if it's not going to be seen
That said, could have probably cropped the pic to hide the shoes.

>>10910733 i'm talking about people who naturally have a waist equivalent to their bust/hips even at a healthy weight, in which case weight loss won't really help. a corset that's intended to take in the waist by only a couple of inches can simulate a proper waist without looking exaggerated

>>10910736 >getting cheap ones online can take quite a while Where do you live? Cheapass options from places can get to you in 14 business days. Heck you can even order from Amazon and pop out the fake glass and have your glasses fitted to the frames.
One time a friend of mine liked some glasses I was wearing for a cosplay. Told her I got them at Hot Topic and the next week she got them and took them to her doc to have a pair made for that frame.
Lolitas should just pick something neutral and olde style that suits their face shape. Wearing a chunky modern frame takes a good looking 9-10 coord to a 6/10.
I'm glad you thought it through to go for a common color though. That's smart. I've seen a nice dolled up girl in pink and white wearing THE chunkiest black frames and it stole the whole focus.

You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>10910681 I've had a very opposite reaction so it probably just depends on who. One sub-21 zoom was shocked when I told him I was 29 at the con, he was fine with it but I had to block him when he wouldn't stop asking me for nudes. Another 20y/o later I told him I was 30 after he was climbing all over my lap at a rave said he had no idea but still asked me to hang out after con was over.

>>10910671 Spoken like someone who knows how to live it up. I'll drink to that. There are so many cons where I'll be disappointed that I ONLY stayed out till 1, ONLY got X many photo ops, ONLY felt 6/10 tipsy. Then I read posts from people here, sometimes even at the same event, who wallow in regret about doing nothing. Is that a representative sample? No, but it does bring me back down to Earth. Even if things don't live up to my expectations, I always try and definitely take more chances than not

>>10910730 Ayrt and some people can’t tan naturally, which I believe is something you may be confused about. Of course most Asians won’t be type 1 but that’s up to genetics and not necessarily your race. Like
>>10910738 stated there was a combination of both. Sun damage wasn’t a worry in the 90s but if your one of the lighter skin types you can find that out for yourself.
Anonymous
>>10910738 AYRT, yeah, i think we're on the same page here! the reason tanning was popular in the first place was because social norms idealised paler skin as a holdover from when how tan someone was indicated how much field work they did, and lightening creams were extremely popular. gyaru rejected this norm by tanning their skin. the bleached hair comes from something similar-- bleached hair used to be banned from most schools and even some workplaces, and sometimes associated with delinquency. both come from a place of rejecting homogeneity.
but i mostly brought it up because the whole "it's racist to tan" thing is just feels delusional with the context that a lot of girls were using their own natural melanin and as a result of the delusion now gyaru has lost all of its subversive aspects and feels purely mainstream.

Quoted By:
>>10910727 >You should also consider the fact that gyaru depleted in popularity after Gyaru magazines started pushing light skinned gals with no extreme make up as their models. this isn't true at all. it wasn't certain substyles, it was a personal choice, many girls chose not to tan during the most popular point in gyaru because it was very mainstream during the 2000s up to 2010. the only real "style" that requires tanning is kuro because it's in the name. many of the ones involved in hostess culture, followers of ayumi hamasaki, hime-kei wearers and anyone wearing "pop gyaru" never tanned at all. even back in the 90s level of tanning different among gyaru themselves. gyaru didn't die during this time and flourished up until around 2015 where it slowly began gaining influence from instagram on the easily accessed global internet. that's what killed gyaru. not the lack of tanning or tanning or anything related to i. gyaru was only super rebellious for a super short time and then it became worn by attractive girls trying to emulate western trends they saw in videos/magazines. it influenced hostess/host and kyaba culture, music and many forms of media. the reason it's shit now is because of globalization and trend hopping due to tiktok. i suggest you actually do more research into gyaru and what it was and what it evolved into because the shit it is now is a natural progression from what it was in the 2000s.

>>10910730 Gyaru often wore foundation on their faces an tanned their face lighter. It was fairly known in Japan/EA that tanning caused wrinkles at the very least. A lot of gyaru used bronzer and darker shades from the US instead of actual foundation(as well as stuff that wasn't even makeup) to achieve the dark tone and makeup looks of the 90s. There are many resources and documentaries that showcase this stuff if you know where to look. I can link some that are available on youtube.
>>10910727 Most of what you're saying isn't really true and gyaru definitely was booming when less girls were tanning. It was the most popular "style" for a good decade, and was worn by many big popstars of the time. Gyaru only started dying when western internet was more easily accessible, so they could just copy western trends instead of inventing stuff. That's not to say it's not a shame, but what you're saying is disingenuous.
