/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I feel completely used by my local comm. I organize every single meetup and nobody else bothers to organize as much as a lunch + tea meet. People always have great ideas, but when I encourage them to host they suddenly become too busy. Everyone idolizes a few comm members for their coords and photos but they don't do anything to help out, and if they're at a meet people just care about talking to them and being in with the epopular crowd.

I never get photos of myself from meets because everyone is too busy to take them (but not for anyone else), and when they're not too busy they're hastily taken and from deliberately unflattering angles, and I'm too awkward to ask for them to take them again. It's so hard to hold a conversation with people, I feel like I'm forcing conversation and really dragging it out but I just get one-word answers from most people, so I usually just give up and get over it.

I honestly don't think anyone hates me, but I feel used and taken for granted, and almost like I don't exist when I'm at meets. Maybe I'm just going through a rough patch and I'm blowing it all out of shape in my head.

Inb4 "bait", I'd actually really like to have a discussion about this.

Every other street style evoles and changes noticably, except for Lolita.
While oldschool and "newschool" are very different, the change took the best part of a decade. Outside of fleeting trends, change and innovation is so slow. We're so reluctant to accept new standards or ideas. Remember when polka dots were ita? Remember when tights were ita? Remember how it took until brands literally spoonfed us those two ideas that people started accepting them?

This isn't a "screw the ruelz I'm gonna make a bedsheet dress if I want!" thread, I just think it something that would be interesting to discuss. What keeps the fashion so rigid? What do you love/hate about it?

shit, I didn't realize that image was such poor quality. Also hunchbackin it big time.

Can we get another one of these going?

Post coords you're putting together, share advice, links, photos, blogs etc.

I wish twintails looked good on me. I try wearing them and I just end up looking like some sort of fetish model.
