oohhh, been there, anon. It was something from a temp agency (not that I want to go back to that agency); I keep getting emails from the agency about new opportunities and I'm too chicken to check them because of my blunder.

Sorry for no advice, but I wish you luck

Are you me?

Minus the surgery. I really should have gotten it done sooner, but we couldn't get the insurance to cover it since maxillofacial surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure (and honestly, I think my orthodontists were slacking and probably fucked it up in the first place).

It's getting worse and I'm off my parents' insurance. I just got my driver's license and it made me feel so fucking ugly. I could have all of the brand, but it won't fix my face. I really envy people whose instagrams are filled with selfies.

I just want to be a kawaii-uguu-rori-desu.

If you don't mind me asking:
>Did you managed to get it somewhat covered by insurance?

>Or was it an out of pocket procedure? How much was it?

>What exactly did you get done and what was the healing process like?

Might ask more later. A specialist showed me a video of a typical procedure and it freaked me out in spite of being some basic 3D model, but now I need to get over my fear of going under the knife.

>Wardrobe consistency is an issue
I had this problem early on and ended up taking a friend's advice to stick with a specific color scheme. Still a bit out of place since it's a mix of sweet and classic :/

I really need to get on selling too. Wardrobe wise, I can come up with a number of coordinates within a moments' notice, but it does get repetitive and sometimes I still end up missing that one thing to tie the coord together.

I was teased about my pieces being out of date. I just really like 2008-2012 era of lolita fashion. Trying to add popular vibrant AP prints, but I really shouldn't be spending money on lolita for a while. I also feel like I'm a basic bitch. I've tried, but I don't really do ott lolita, and held onto the dream of being a daily lolita a là Momoko since I discovered the fashion.
I guess it's better to be boring than ita.

>Baby Paris is closing down

For real? Holy shit.

I'm glad I got to go the year they opened, but I'm sad that others won't get to experience it. I'm so sorry, anon. Perhaps you'll be able to visit Stateside or in Japan someday.

It really does seem like the glory days are over, and I know you're not the only one. I'm an oldfag taking a number of youngins under my wing, and it kind of sucks trying to explain inside jokes and lolita's history because they'll never be able to experience it themselves, and the way we share information is more micromanaged with social media.

I miss the relevancy of gothic brands, having films and musicians as part of the scene, and even logging into lj every day after school to see new posts. Those things made lolita feel like a real subculture. On the flipside, it's a lot easier to buy lolita now, and I'm no longer a teen pining for clothes out of my wallet's reach.

All I can hope for is that the "new" generation of lolitas/J-fashion kids will be able to make their own history and that people will still archive information as time goes on.

woah wtf life? I'm bummed out for you, anon. I really hope everything picks up for the better. If you ever need to talk, we'll keep the feel threads alive even with the janitors taking them down.

Most cons now have security[unless they are a dinky convention]. I would probably be mortified but notify the staff in charge of these things. Most cons are a family event and god forbid young children could have seen my butt. Ask the photographer for the photo of who did it to show to security.

Oh man. I'm so sorry, lolitanon. I'll be keeping you and your folks in my thoughts. And thank you for the nice thoughts, too.
