this should probably be in the general help thread, but i get my lenses from Uniqso.
Used to get them from Pinky Paradise but they started requiring optometrist information and since im not a blind-chan i dont have one.

>>10112383
but since your friend actually has a script, either one of those websites would work for your needs (sorry dropped too soon)

>>10112383
Thank you! I would recommend against Pink Paradise anyway since they sold me fake I.Fairy’s a few years ago. I really don’t know how they’ve gone this far. Probably good you can’t order from them, you may have dodged an eye problems bullet.
I’ll look into Uniqlo! Appreciate the rec.

And yeah, sorry if I shouldn’t have made a thread for this...I used to lurk and post regularly but I’ve been completely gone for like 2 or more years, so I’m still from the time when there was consistently a Circle Lenses thread haha. That explains why one didn’t pop up when I searched.

Wanted to be vegeta but mom wouldn't let me dress as a Boy in the fear of me becoming a fag.
Ive ended up a fag.

Wanted to be Jim Hawkins from the Treasure planet, but I ended up being a cow boy shooting arrows.

the one your mom makes me wear when I nail her looks a lot like this.

this has some good potential for otome. however, that lazy oily hair won't work for anything. the main piece is very attractive, a cropped brown jacket would be so cute here. the nautical themed tights make little sense with the floral embroidery and appliques

>>10112250
nitpick the hat. but the rest is fine. glasses are cute, shoes could be a lighter red but w/e. love those bloomers.
the hat was such a bad choice I agree with it being posted here, but it's technically a nitpick.

>>10112250
Did she try do DIY a boater hat out of a top hat?

>>10112246
I feel like she's failing at shoehorning or legit colorblind. The dress being green and white, and the tights being blue and gold, plus what >>10112352 said about mixing floral with nautical, it's bad enough. She also needs a wig or something. I used to try using my natural hair, but it's thin and oily too and I finally realized that I NEED wigs. I would actually like sauce on that jsk, tho.

>>10112246
The worst part of this is her nasty bedhair. Looks like the friend of a lolita who wanted to "put on one of those pretty dresses", or who got pestered by a newbie lolita friend to wear something and go do a photoshoot.

Oh my god, the last thread died after like 4 posts, the shit show is over, go home

Nope, it's going to be dead after this year. Save your money, Stef doesn't deserve it.

Come on does no one here know anything about make up.its a cosplaying chan. Is it just all people in fancy dresses

>>10111649
Try posting in the help thread instead, this question didn't need its own thread.

>>10111469

Check out Salus! You’ll have to use a proxy but they’ll probably have what you’re looking for

>>10112097
I appreciate you, anon.

I have the same one! I've been thinking of a small magnetic handmirror or something small to do the same with. I'd consider glueing down or temporarily taking out the lil zippers on him though, they have a tendency to fall out as you prob know. I'm thinking white for the bag but a blue to match Sticky Fingers could look nice.
I can't wait for his Potekoro mascots and all the various keychains dropping for him in the next two months!

If your character has absolutely no merch, is it possible to order a rubber charm? Is that a thing I can do, or would I have to make a bulk order of 100 or something and somehow sell off the rest?

>>10111731
>What got you involved in itabagging?
I became hyperfixated on one character in a series because it was in a time of a major depressive spell for me and seeing him on screen always made me happy so I started buying more and more merch of him to make me happier. It evolved into a collection and then I found out about itabags and went from there.
>How much did your itabag cost you in total?
Not too sure of the price! I'm bad with keeping track. Probably around a little under $200??
>How much did you estimate/plan on spending when you first started the bag?
I had no plan at all except buy all the merch I could!
>Do you feel like it's worth it?
Absolutely. Seeing him still brings me so much joy.
>What's your dream itabag set up (holy grail charms, how you'd arrange them, holy grail bag etc.)
I don't really have anything like that! Though I do want to get into making rosettes and such because I think it adds a nice touch to bags. I also want to incorporate LED lights.
>If you could change one thing about the scene surrounding itabagging what would it be?
I'm not big with interaction with other people who collect and have itabags! It's really only me in my friend group who does it but it would be nice to meet more people.

TFW I've lived the life I wanted for me and no one else and I die in my brand

you might be the one with the problem anon.

no regrets

My group promoted auditions on Instagram with those idol promoter accounts (@netidol.news.reporter, @netidolobsession, and @idol__appreciation are some of them)
I think that's the easier way to find auditions? Without having to join a discord server (overseas idol collection is a huge one)

How do you feel about giving your group members homework (i.e. having them submit videos of them practicing at home)? It seems like some groups do this and others don't, but the ones that do seem to have better results from what I've seen. It would definitely help groups who don't get together as often, I think.

If anyone wants to co-edit, just email the throwaway in the name field and I'll get you in. It's currently a bit messy, but I'm trying my best to keep it somewhat organized.

>>10111266
Speaking of buying likes, nobody wants to talk about how Lovely Clover suddenly has 500 likes on a pic on her FB/insta when the rest get like a max of 5 interactions per post? lmfao makes you really wonder

>>10112378
I think it can be very helpful, especially if the members don’t get to meet up for practise all together as often as they would like to. If you only have one group practise all together before a performance, videos can help everyone get the moves right and then the group sessions can focus more on sync and placements

>>10111064
Is that a child?

>>10111095
it's a drawing, anon.

lately i've come to love the open-front dress/pinafore look, so i've been spending way too much time browsing sites for that + bustle-back dresses. sigh.

>>10112038
Green peplum JSK plus head bow

>>10112068

It's honestly really hard to tell, especially when you're describing that sheer chiffon (it looks faded because it's not opaque). If you look at mainstream fashion runways, a lot of them still feature sheer layered looks, so sheer fabrics at least still seem to be trending, and one of the easiest ways to achieve it is using sheer printed chiffon.

I get that lolita doesn't always go in for the latest fashion fads but Japan as a whole is pretty trendy, so you do get a few things like JetJ doing their own spin on printed artwork dresses (D&G I think?) and I guess we also get sheer dresses, including stuff like devore fabric.

We're never really sure whether polyester sells better or not, whether the customers who prefer polyester actually outnumber the cotton fans or not, since we don't have access to the sales numbers. Chiffon especially has its own appeal for being light and floaty, perfect for a fairytale princess look, which seems to be the "new" lolita look.

>>10112193
Oh fuck me this is what I want but I just bought the pink jsk aaah

>>10112193
Damn, I was hoping it was the peplum in red

>>10112303
Millefleurs makes nice ones, otherwise you just have to scroll through secondhand stuff until you find them since there's no good keyword. Most brands have released blouses like that though so they aren't too hard to find.

Have brand shoes always been such horrible quality or am I just unlucky? I bought a brand new pair of tea parties and they already have peeling spots all over from only one wear for three hours. I'm not particularly rough with my shoes but I do have to walk a lot.

>>10112295
Yes, to a degree. Bows that stand upright like the AP one on the left are very sweet in nature and would look out of place in many classic or gothic coords. That said, there are head-eating bows that aren't flat but aren't upright either, like pic related, which imo can fit in any substyle depending on the styling.

>>10112347
Sounds unlucky but also might be how you're treating them. Consider your environment humidity/weather and the amount of bending your forcing upon the shoes pleather. If you bend at your toes a lot while walking, you should consider getting leather tea parties instead.

>>10112303
Check out every gothic lolita brand you can think of

>>10111185
can she PLEASE get a hair cut. I love long hair but not when it tapers down to two tiny rat tails. just like 3 or 4 inches would be nice

>>10111455
it looks like shes in a prison or public school. not to mention the pose
>>10111460
i want a matching ouji acessory too :(

>>10112344
looks more frizzy than curly to me.

>>10112206
