/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Alright, are July and August that unbearably hot and humid that I should try going in December? I'm originally from Texas, so hot/humid isn't new. But I'd like to wear lolita for most of my trip.
>tfw dream times of the year to go are Sakura Season or October, but I'm a teacher.

>tfw bought burando and room owner had to cancel for personal reasons

They offered to give me the room but I passed. I didn't need to spend the extra money but damn I'm hurting missing my first tea party.

I'm really starting to feel my age when it comes to not being in a serious relationship. (Serious as in marriage down the line in a couple of years) And I know I shouldn't rush into one just because I feel lonely and old, but that's exactly what's going on in my mind.

I don't seem to comprehend why it's so easy for people around my age to be in long-committed relationships turn-to marriage; while I'm here single again on match.com for the third fucking time.

I just feel like there's something wrong with me and that I will end up married to some divorced guy who already has kids from his first marriage.
Hell, I'm actually kinda pretty and in good shape, have a BA with a full-time job
Why can't I find my "soulmate"?

>tfw put in order for damaged dress and unused Angelic Pretty purse that goes on sale in roughly 5 hours
>tfw as soon as you order and refresh the shop puts out more stuff

I keep refreshing every 5 minutes or so both hoping and dreading more stuff being released because I've already selected my plan and paid for my items.

I'd wear all of these without changing a single thing. I'm so incredibly salty I missed this era. I wonder how pre-2006 lolita is doing in japan. Probably not that much better than here considering the prices they go for.

I wasn't that much affected by the news since I personally think these magazines are shutting down because they were in paper format and internet is the way to go now... but she's sooo sad. It made me sad and teary-eyed.

>tfw you see two dresses on mercari slip out of your grasp while you wait for your SS to open

That was pure pain.

I got a new computer after mine crapped out, and I lost all of my /cgl/ reaction pics in the process. We haven't had a reaction pic thread in a while, so.. reaction image thread? reaction image thread.

MY pov is that CoF has made this pissing contest out of the fashion to the point where only OTT coords get acknowledged and more tone-down coords overlooked.
It's really sad to see lolita in the west become what it is, I joined the fashion when pastel split wigs were the biggest trend and I hated it because lolita is supposed to look like a fashion not a costume.

Thanks anon. I hope I'll be able to do it without that extra step . I don't want a pixie again. It took me a lot of time to have my hair mid-length.

It's not even Thursday and I'm already exhausted just trying to get everything done around the house and pack. I wish I had the energy of a teenage weeb again.

I'm really stressed out and it's my own fault for being a lazy shit
> have big assignment coming up that I have 3 days off spread over different weeks to work on
> literally did jack shit and I don't remember why
> have to hand it in on monday and it's stressing me out
> have lots of stressful dreams like getting pets that I forget about and become close to dying and forgetting my laptop on the train
> regret
Why couldn't I just have done shit in time so I wouldn't be dealing with this. Worst is that it's a synopsis I have to use for one of my exams so that's why it's even more stressful for me.

>tfw live close to a major city comm, but far enough from the middle that going to meets is 45-90min drive generally
>want to go but slowly handling fear of driving, not ready to drive on the insane city freeways known for traffic and shit drivers
>no frequent meets regardless
>have no lolita friends to talk or hang out with
>have been building up lolita wardrobe since last year
>nowhere to wear them and nobody to wear them with

I feel like I'll never have a friend who is into the fashion.

>recently picke up art again
>really want to get better and improve myself
>at the point where I'm not beginner-tier terrbile, but nothing special either
>feel hyped and want to work on my skills

>tfw none of my friends are into art
>tfw I don't know anyone anymore who draws
>tfw no one can help me
I couldn't even manage to have a popular tumblr or FB page, so I can't even properly interact with people on the internet because no one cares. Internet and online tutorials are nice and all, but I wish I would have *one* friend who likes to draw animu so we could talk about their newest art untensile purchase, help each other out and draw together. But tfw not even any online art friends.

Lolita feels:
>got part time job to buy Lolita
>work mostly Fridays and Saturdays
>mfw almost every single meet up in the past few months were on Saturdays
>mfw almost every planned meet up up to summer is on Saturdays, with only like 2 exceptions so far
>have money to buy burando, but no time to go to any meet ups
I went to a meet up once this year, simply because of work. But I can't quit my job either.

tl,DR
>tfw either no friends or no time to enjoy hobbies

I spent the last year digging myself into nearly $10k of credit card debt, of which my 1k tax return will barely scratch the surface of, so I don't get to buy any new goodies. On the bright side, I'm starting a new job soon and will fingers crossed be able to pay off my debt by next year. I'm ashamed to say that a good chunk of my debt came from buying lolita when I shouldn't have (the rest came from my SO and then me being alternately unemployed and still needing to eat).

My AP Twinkle Doll LP hasn't updated in it's shipping since the 28th. Should I be worried, or not?

Also, seeing that some of the IW LP's had the bambi JSK in it, I'm regretting not getting it so much :^(
