Are there any shopping services that still let you undervalue packages besides Japan Shopping Service?
Anyone buy from a brand called NyaNya? they realeased a Madoka Magica collab and I was intrigued. Not sure if I still want to get the dress judging by the pictures I've been seeing on xhs.
does anyone have any good alternative/ouji makeup tutorials.... im broke and cant afford to buy unique pieces so im just thrifting
How forgiving are favorite's clothes? It seems even the M-L lists 162cm height as a limit.>>10946895Check the buyfags guide
Is there a way to buy from the chocochip website https://chocochip-cookie.ocnk.net/ I may be stupid but I can't tell if they are still active or not, and if so, it looks like they just take japanese bank transfers as payment? Is there a particular shopping service that I would be able to use?

I've developed an ambivalent opinion on "line cons", as they're called around here. As much as we might gripe about them...why?>It's gonna take a long time to do anythingWell, yeah but how bout the opposite?>No lines for anything, anywhereIf that's the first thing I see, I wanna leave immediately. So I guess by necessity, line con is the preferred choice
>>10947483>>10947664I think I only started being a regular on /cgl/ in 2018 when it was already slow, so I never got to see it at full speed, but last year it feels like things seemed to have slown down dramatically. I guess just that many people abandoned /cgl/ for the 'cord in 2024, maybe because so many cons started having official discords post-covid.
>>10947984It's just not necessary for cons to be like this. It's a choice and shows bad managementI've been to literally hundreds of cons for all sorts of things. Only anime cons have line cons, and it's not all of them. It's bad management.
>>10948017That may be true for some cons, but others are just fucked. AX is the obvious prime example, the LACC is just woefully inadequate for an urban area with nearly 20 million people, and SPJA are in a catch-22 situation with it because if they move anywhere bigger they might not have the local attendees to actually justify the size, plus anywhere else is going to be harder to fly international guests etc. into.
Any landmines on here? Post inspo, aesthetic pics, outfits, hair, nails and general jirai pics
>>10946847You're right, thanks!
Why do western jirai girls have such ugly unkempt hair? I don't wanna wear a nice coord if my hair looks like shit. I at least try and make it look neat and fix my bangs. Imo jirai needs bangs and hair that looks like you did more than roll out of bed
>>10947264lmao lemme guess, jirai reddit?
>>10946777>thought it was solidified that ryousan is its own thing nowYou are saying that when ryousan as term is used for Snidl girls now in jp which looks nothing like the 2020s version.
Does anyone have pics of Many Hearts Afternoontea Set Up in different colors for inspo? Trying to decide which one I want

>>10947955this is the newfag that was promoting stalking people’s purchase history on lacemarket and messaging them to sell her their dresses. too bad that method worked out for her just to make a mediocre coord
>>10947955>>10947977she has some kind of sense of taste, I think that maybe with one of those lolita blouses underneat she'd be set
>>10947999Are you fucking bling

I would like to cosplay LGBTrump. What wigs would you recommend for that cosplay?
Wow what a quality thread... It's not like their dozens of trump hair wigs on amazon to choose from easily.
>>10946382I need a *QUALITY* one.
I dont think you have any intention of cosplaying this and are just shitposting
A wig with hair? idk. I'd be more focused on finding a hatsune miku binder
>>10946504Oh

I face paint my face white. What can I apply so it doesn't crack or go away easily with sweat?
How can I accessorize a small mink hide with a very tight leather black costume? I'm building my ren faire outfit and I just don't know where to put it. Costume is fully black leather with a shoulder cape so putting it on my neck would be too much. I've been searching on Google for some ideas but everything is women with them on their necks or around the shoulder larger ones. It has the clip so I can pretty much have it clipped anywhere, just don't know where it would look good since the costume has a pretty tight around the body silhouette.
Advice for cosplaying when going to a con by myself? It's my first time trying to cosplay, and none of my friends are going this year.
>>10947262I get my wigs from kasou, their typical wigs go up to a 62cm circumference. They carry character wigs for popular series but also a pretty big range of just standard stock wigs in a shit ton of colors
I'm trying to match these ears to my skin and the foundation keeps coming off. I tried putting loose powder so it would stick better but whenever I pat it with the beauty blender it just ends up like this. Please help!
How would you go about making a skibidi toilet cosplay?
>>10947987>we go to the bathroom together>I give you a swirlieyou now have a skibidi toilet cosplay
Imagine doing a cosplay like this at a convention and then hanging out near the female bathrooms...
>>10947987I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen more toilet or security camera head guy cosplays
Modern inspired by Victorian but we make it spooky edition.Last thread get archived: >>10851320Thread before last for some mysterious reason did not and is still listed on active threads (WTF jannies?): >>10756184Last two years these threads were barely active and and it took a year for each to reach image limit or get archived prematurely (WTF jannies?) but whatever.

>>10945768>>10945778It would be a shame if this thread died too soon, don't you agree?
>>10947951Yes, but 4chan had a fuckup loosing images months ago and never recoverig them plus no one posts in home decor any longer most likely due to economic hardships both in the USA and worldwide. These threadsused to be numerous per year. Now we have one thread going for a year in last 3 years. Meaning we are long into recession already.
holy shit cons suck so much nowadays, everyone wants to sell you something. Desperately need cons where there is no commercial area, just games and activities.
Yep, it's officially over this time. At least until two more weeks when it's more over. Then more over after that later, though it can never be *most over*
>>10948004What cons have you been going to?
>>10948008AX, Fanime, Dokomi, Japan Weekend, AniNite. Few games and activities, lots of commercial stands
>>10948009Every con is going to have vendors and people selling things, the more corporate and controlled the more focus there is on being sold things like AX.
What was your first cosplay? >did a closet cosplay from a hotline miami mod maybe 26 people played>most work I did was dyeing a stupid hat

>Ask a cosplayer to take a picture of him/her.>Refuses.
>>10940078>>Ask a cosplayer to take a picture of him/her.>>>Refuses.maybe they were a they/them
>>10946599How did you managed to do that? I've got a tactical cosplay and I'd like to try pulling off something similar
socially inept nonny grovels over rejection again what else is new
>>10940078If your cosplay is decent enough other cosplayers will go out of their way to ask YOU for a picture. Literally pretty privilege. If you're an uggo, why should anyone waste time with you?
This is why AI Cosplay photos will take over.
