/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Lately something feels just a bit off about my community, like I might be missing some big elephant in the room.
I hope it's just me being paranoid, but I don't want to accidentally step on any drama landmines.

Meets I've hosted/been a part of
>attending an opera (never. again.)
>historical home tour
>museums
>shopping (from malls to small businesses in affluent parts of town)
>lunch or dinner - usually sushi or at a tea room ("luncheon" and "high tea")
>art fair
>picnics/potluck
>bars (I usually go to low-key ones)
>crafting
>ice skating


I really want to have a meet up at iO in Chicago (I love improv comedy) and when I get my own place (because my current apartment is a fucking zoo), it would be awesome to throw dinner parties. My friend's family runs a local winery and I'd love to have a wine tasting meet up as well. I haven't been to a meet up in a long time. I wish that it weren't so damn cold out. I'm itching to have casual meets at small cafes and exploring antique shops.

mfw everything i own is in everyone's bottom tier..

Back by request. This thread does not belong in /adv/, it is to see how depression directly effects your costume choices, sense of style, and general attendance at events. There are many stressors within lolita and cosplay that can put a strain on one's mental health.

>does it have anything to do with Lolita/Jfashion, if yes, how so?

>if its unrelated to Jfashion, what's keeping you down?

>does your depression affect your style in any way?

>do you wear Jfashion less because of it? how often do you wear it now?

>what do you want, or what could make you happy?

>list your dreams, no matter how unrealistic they may be

>how are you feeling today?
