Does anyone remember the story or perhaps comic someone made about NCN running away with PT and becoming somewhat of a power team in Japan?

>>9319981
What ever happened to maryjane? All I ever remember of her was how mean and awful she seemed, oh and the terrible dancing video.

Angela makes some pretty impressive historical costumes right now but >>9320692 is right, her parents still buy all her fabrics because she said something about wanting to be able to make costumes for stage or something but she didn't want to go to an actual university to learn because she didn't like some of the stuff she would have to learn on the course so she's teaching herself? Her parents apparently view the cost of fabric as being instead of paying for her to go to uni which I thought was pretty weird.

I follow her on youtube and I like her stuff but she's kind of weird about showing how she makes stuff, like she seems really reluctant to show how she drafts her patterns and how she makes her historical costumes like she thinks its some big secret? I don't know, but its weird.
I didn't realize she used to post here, any drama?

>>9320909
The way she convulses isn't attractive at all, and she keeps grabbing her boobs in an attempt to be sexy but she just looks like there's a demon inside of her that's about to burst through her skin, a la Alien

Does anyone know what became of ShayNii? We were about the same age and I was always fond of her. I hope she's doing okay out there.

>>9320835
>those eyebrows
>that front lobe idubbbz buzzcut
why

Troll tan/Annie supposedly got kicked from her comm for being batshit.
She took up photography and started shitting up /p/ until she was bullied off the board.
She also made some strange videos on YouTube. She used a name that was something like phox de la box I think

>>9320692
>Pretty sure choke is the only senpai that's actually done anything with her life

Scamming people with shitty wigs and tights and being pretentious as fuck about it, what a legacy.

>>9320903
I vaguely remember this. I wish I had saved it. I remember someone some of her art here too.

>>9320911
Pretty much what anon said earlier. For more details, you can read them on Lolcow.

>>9320953
I don't recall so much drama as much as she used to post her stuff on the progress board and wasn't always given the critique that she was looking for and made sheltered comments that weren't necessarily bitchy, but might've come off as pretentious/sheltered.

I do like her stuff, but I noticed more recently that she's admitting that her work is more historically inspired than recreation work. I think I noticed it more after a recent thread on historical costumes here blasted the inaccuracy of her work.

I do wonder though, she might be good at sewing and doing her own projects, but she would have to put forth the work to do stage or other jobs in the industry, and she seems to show no sign atm of becoming part of something. But she also doesn't seem like she's the type to do commissions or make a business out of her work. I know that she's shy, but I feel a little weird that it's starting to sound like she'll be stuck there forever always sewing and having her parents just pay to make her hobby her entire life.

>>9320956
Someone said a few years ago that she was trying to model professionally or do something with fashion. I think this was shortly after she broke away from that really bitchy girl, Meepy. I also remember Meepy's whining and ugly EVA suits shitting up this board.

>>9320982
She did her first commission piece recently, I remember her posting about it somewhere. I totally agree though, she might only be 19 (20?) now but eventually she'll have to make something of her life and really it'll have to be pretty soon.

I also think that there's less and less call for historical costumes? Aren't most stage productions these days modern plays with just normal modern clothes? I'm pretty sure historical costumes are used time and time again for loads of different stage shows or at the very least used season after season for the same show.

>>9320692
Miyu is like literally the only one who became a normal functional adult. Not crazy at all anymore. I guess quitting cosplay worked out really well for her because she seems happy and totally normal now and has a family and everything.

>>9320909
>that video name

Kek. Probably the grossest dance I've ever seen. She looks like Rehina George's lil sis 20 years later

>>9320989
Yeah, I think that she's learned a lot of interesting techniques and has taken the time to put effort on details and crafting, so I do think that if she does decide on going into stage work or something else, there's a place for her and can do a variety of stuff for modern clothes if she gets creative and applies what she's learned.

I just hope that she's not holding herself back or going to hold herself in the future from being part of the industry for something like, "having to learn things at the uni that you don't like". That's really part of the process, and she'd be lucky to have decent crafting skills on her side.

>>9320993
She does seem to be limiting herself somewhat to only really working on historical garments these days, she did a few cute things a long time ago which weren't historical but since then nothing else really. I suppose what I'm trying to say is a potential employer might look at that and think she can't do other things? Maybe won't want to take the time for her to learn? I don't know.

I think she seems like a nice person though, I just wish she would show how she makes more of her stuff because I would really like to learn.

>>9320065
If that isn't karma to be nice, I don't know what is. Charms was a real bitch and I don't sympathize.

>>9320998
I agree. It's like, she can show that she's great at crafting, but in terms of designing, it might not be her thing. She can make clothes though, so if she goes out to learn something more modern, she might not have so much trouble. I think where may have problems is it seems like she has a lot of time and works at her own pace. Jobs like that may not be able to afford as much time and she's probably avoiding it because it can therefore be stressful and put pressure on her.

>>9321007
I have noticed in a lot of her video's she will be like oh I just wasn't feeling this so I started something new. No an employer isn't going to accept I just wasn't feeling it that day/week/month they're going to need it to a deadline.

and she doesn't really have a lot of career options with this being her only education, I mean she could make costumes for stage or maybe historical reenactments or she could work to commission but that's about it, isn't it?

>>9320960
Who would've guessed idubbz would be a trendsetter

>>9321012
Yeah, as far as what I see. It would depend probably on whether her parents will keep on supporting her and whether she might ever bored and want a challenge in being part of something more than just her own projects.

Her posts are always nice to look at what she's doing, but I never really see anything else that she does other than sew and do her own thing. So pretty much the same as when she used to trip here, except that she does cleaner work now but has the same schedule as when she was homeschooled.

>>9321018
Okay, her being home schooled explains so much, like I always wondered why she didn't hang out with friends or anything, I guess she doesn't have any? She absolutely never mentions spending time with anyone.. That seems kind of sad really. I follow her on a few social media platforms and really all she seems to do is sew or go out buying way too much fabric.

Seriously, she did a tour of her sewing room and she has just SO much fabric but she's always buying tones more.

>>9320990

desu I am super happy for Miyu. Maybe more costhots should quit.

>>9320855
I saw all those already but it's just dudes posting about her. What makes her a psycho?

>>9321022
Yeah, she was homeschooled and then mentioned like maybe two or three years ago that she was going to college or planning on it, then I don't really know but it sounds like she might either be doing something online or taking a break.

She was underage when she posted, and her schedule because of homeschooling and her generally being shy gave her a lot of time to herself. She mentioned quitting going to cons because they were too stressful for her and she seems to like the whole sewing process more than cosplaying. And yeah, I can imagine that she must have a lot of fabrics over the years.

>>9321024
Idk about psycho but she's one of the people who kept on the whole Dakota Koti crusade when it broke out here. I'm pretty sure even Moot called her out once, if I remember the thread correctly.

>>9320971
Annie got banned from lolcow after making rape threats to herself and then reporting to the admin that he needed to delete her thread because people were making rape threats. The result was exposure and permenant archival.

>>9320990
Laura don't kid yourself, I know you still browse here.

>>9321029
I don't think she ever actually went to college, it seems she looked into it and then decided she didn't like what the course would make her learn, if I'm remembering right she didn't want to learn the theory side of it all.. Anyway she decided to just go straight into self education with her costuming.

I can't imagine many parents being cool with that, are her parents like those weird people who want to keep their kid at home with them forever?

>>9321033
Nah I'm not her. I have her on fb though.

>>9321038
Given that Laura told me herself that she used to regularly samefag here and and watched her so it countless times, I'm skeptical.
At any rate I'm happy she's well.

>>9321035
Lol maybe. She got media exposure with her Elsa cosplay and probably gets inquiries here and there from people and jobs, so I assume that her parents must also be trusting that she's doing good work and find her way on her own, not that I'm sure that guarantees that she'll have that chance on her lap for forever.

I also remember got blasted on her too because the media was freaking about her setting all the rhinestones on the whole dress but she didn't match the blues on her costume properly.

>>9321044
Wow, I had no idea that she got blasted here that often. I guess maybe that's part of why she dropped cosplay as a whole? Maybe she didn't like how high standards are? Rightly so, I don't think people should expect praise for subpar work.

>>9321042
I know I had a similar conversation with her. She was really honest about it with me. That was probably 6 years ago now.

>>9320909
Man i'm glad i have never gone to one of these contest things at cons.

>>9321048
No one threatened her or anything here, but people pointed out inaccuracies or issues with the way she did something and as I recall n
othing disturbingly bad. Maybe she did leave because people didn't like it, and people just generally get tired of the same gimmick or formula. People got like that when Kamui was doing decent armor but getting repetitive about her projects.

From what she said about cosplay, she liked more of doing her own designs than recreating stuff. Even her recent work, she can pick her own textiles, etc, or take parts of silhouettes she likes versus creating a costume to be accurate.

She also has hinted at having a lot of social anxiety, so she seemed less excited about cosplay because of the obligation to socialize at a con.

>>9321052
I didn't mean to insinuate that anyone here had been particularly nasty to her or anything just that if she was completely home schooled and wasn't really exposed to people her age she could be pretty sensitive because she's never been around people who say or do mean things? If you never go through that high school experience you're likely to be way more sensitive than someone who has learnt to take criticism and either roll with it or ignore it.

>>9320717
she went sober became christian and is a figure skating coach or something

>>9319981

Ai honey got giant implants and became another Jnig clone.

Anyone know what happened to tenlied and Voldie?

>>9321060
Ah, the good ol Apollo Smile route.

Though Apollo was actually a decent person, and left to train kids dance classes.

Also, girls in the cosplay community really need to lay off the goddamned meth. It's like they hit 27 and then either land a husband and disappear, or hit a wall and destroy themselves.

>tfw 31, male, non smoking, drugs never, alcohol rarely, still look 25,

There are better ways to expand your mind without drugs. Read a book, niggas.

>>9321078
Damn, I had forgotten all about Apollo Smile

>>9321078
afaik it was just lots of weed not meth

>>9321078

>>9320051
PT looks better than Charms now, times sure have changed

>>9320909
Wasn't she always self-posting and then replying to her own posts how brilliant she was?

>>9321092
>not destroying my internals with poisons makes me a fedora tipper.

You can still turn back now, ya know? Start eating healthier too. Clean living is bomb.

No one said you had to be a complete square and abstain from sex or anything.

>>9321101
Haha that pic the best I need that wallscroll in my life

>>9321111
>I need that wallscroll in my life
