/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>10396270
I had just posted this in the last thread before it died.

This is the first time in and long time I might actually be excited to see the JSK cut.

To the anon that mentioned the wristcuffs - I have a feeling Candy just put them in there for styling purposes, but it would be great if they would get rereleased again. US never got them recently rereleased like Japan, or the new colors of the Deco Heart jewelry.

This release is going to be hell...

>>10396292
It looks like it could be cotton so I'm excited for it. I'm also sad the US shop didn't get Deco Heart. Guess the anon was right that AP USA is the redheaded stepchild of the stores.

>>10396292

Damn...would have been awesome.

I honestly love styling anything with bunny motifs besides giant ear headbands, so I really want them to rerelease. I wouldn't be willing to do a Japanese phone only reservation but would definitely wait on the brand site to try and grab the pink, sax, or lav ones during a bloodbath to match my ott prints that include bunnies. AP would benefit a ton from a constantly updated "basics" collection like Meta has. Simpler sock, wristcuff, jewelry, and blouses and all would easily make them a ton of revenue.

>>10396297
The US site really sucks. We never got the Ice Cream Parlor MTO either, and it was painfully obvious that we needed one. I'm pretty frustrated at how badly it is stocked and ignored. I'm honestly finding it hard to be excited about anything when general items aren't even released at all stores.

I was trying to figure out if the new OP in the instagram post was cotton too. I don't really want to get my hopes up. It's hard to tell from the filtered picture.

>>10396298
General stock would be great. AP seems to have increased the frequency of new releases, but not the amount of production. It's pretty stupid that we have to fight over something as small as wristcuffs. It kills the magic of AP for me.

>>10396297
Look at the bodice. That's 100% not cotton.

>>10396298
Most brands should do a little of what Meta where they produce generic, non-seasonal stuff that they keep in stock indefinitely. It’s so much easier to stay brand loyal when you know you don’t have to kill a bitch just to get plain pink socks to go with the dress you bought.

>>10396297
It shouldn't be a surprise to people. Look at AP Paris's tea party's vs the SF ones. The paris store let's you make reservations on upcoming releases, so if you decide to give up on the SF store, try the Paris store.

>>10396270
That's not even good polyester

>>10396486
This desu. Especially when it comes to socks and generic jewelery, and wristcuffs. I just want some cute pastel socks, I don't wanna have to buy from shady sellers, or get ugly boring ones from indie brands, or settle with crusty used ones.

This shit cracks me up every time I see it on LM. For how long has this listing sat unsold now? 2,3 months at least? I've been seeing it for a good while now.
I get that it's cheap but who would even buy detached sleeves without the blouse?

>>10396297
Literally any time a pic of a new release comes up, somebody screams that it "looks like cotton." Bitch, you know it never is.

>>10396499
But we want to BELIEVE.

>>10396487
I've been looking at the Paris store lately. Do you need to do anything special to place an international order? Just a credit card/paypal and checkout?

Everything costs more in the Paris store and the conversion rate sucks for the dollar, but I'm desperate.

>>10396493
Who needs 2 euros that badly? Just throw them away ffs

>>10396508

Yeah honestly if they're doing international orders I'll definitely place reservations for the magical etoile looking jewelry and wristcuffs if they're being rereleased.

>>10396308
I feel you there anon. The US site has been tough to get new releases from and honestly things go *so* fast, you would think HQ would see that alone as a reason to treat it better, but some items just rot in stock forever. And SF rent isn't cheap.

>>10396483
>>10396499
There were a few nonprint cotton releases last year, so this could be one of them. Trust me, when this ends up being viyella I won't be surprised.

>>10396487
I wonder what happened - if it was firing Lynda (? I don't remember if that was her name) or what. A few years ago it wasn't so bad. It'll be having a 10 year anniversary in November and I doubt we'll get more than an ~exclusive~ keychain or rerelease of Holy Lantern or something dumb as fuck.

>>10396522
The US site only seems to get one of each of everything initially, while the Paris store clearly gets more than that. Rent isn’t cheap in Paris either, especially that close to the Louvre. Plus, some items rot on the Paris website forever too. AP just clearly likes Paris more than SF.

>>10396519
>>10396522
>>10396528
Well I just registered on the Paris site. I'm ready, anons.

I'll probably still fail, but I'm ready.

>>10396528
Could also be that more Eurolitas buy from AP Paris than American ones buyfrom the USA store because of customs bullshit and whatnot

>>10396528
Well, a picturesque Paris location that's a tourist magnet is way different than FiDi in SF. It's too bad they're not in Japantown, or a different area with a lower COL.
I still wonder if there was some sort of catalyst to the downward trend of the SF shop. Even trying to get an answer to my email from SF is a challenge whereas an email I sent to Paris was answered hours later and it was incredibly polite.

>>10396535
Best of luck! I hope you get everything you're going for.

I recently bought my dream dress and the seller has not dispatched it for over 10 days now. Should I give them more time due to covid or get a refund? How long is normal to wait for a dispatch?

>>10396560
Message the seller?

>>10396563
I have. They said they would post it 3 days ago. So I messaged them again this morning and they haven't replied.

>>10396560
>>10396576
Just file a claim. This should be in the stupid questions thread.

>>10396308
ice cream parlor wasn't a MTO, just a reserve so it still would have been a bloodbath

>>10396540
It's not location, because the SF store is in a super touristy part of the city. It's the same thing with the Baby store. It's in Japantown, and gets all the leftovers from Japan.

It's not their location, but that they probably don't make as much money from them. US lolitas are cheaper than EU ones, and have shittier manners.

>>10396605
I genuinely think >>10396536 has a point. Why buy markup when you can easily get brand from the Japan store without insane customs fees.

>>10396608
Can you order from the AP Japan store to the US though? I have a tenso address but AP Japan requires a billing address that is country locked to Japan, so I can't use the US address linked with my credit card? Unless I'm supposed to use the Tenso address as the billing?

(Sorry I asked this in the stupid questions thread, but I never got a reply).

>>10396586
I wish brands would do all releases as MTOs. They can certainly afford to. I hate bloodbath shit.

>>10396684
>They can certainly afford to
No, they really can’t. MTOs are balls expensive on the production side and a lot of brands don’t have huge margins. Why do you say that?

>>10396687
I guess I just meant AP can afford it. Their third world country factories are not expensive.

>>10396688
1) AP may be able to but 2) actually their factories ARE quite expensive to produce their product in. Please shut up if you don’t know anything about supply chain

>>10396689
Go ahead and explain how third world factory labor is expensive. There's a reason they switched to those instead of continuing to produce in Japan. To cut costs and increase profit.

>>10396692
You do realize less expensive and cheap are not the same thing... right? Also not all factories in China are the same price.

And if we are going to get real technical in you’re off base comments, China is a second world country.

>>10396687

Nayrt and I might actually be retarded for not getting this but how can a brand not afford to guarantee profit by selling an unlimited number of dresses for a price they can easily adjust to suit what they need to ensure they turn a profit? They just have to make the sample dress and decide on materials and pricing and not begin production until they know how many orders they have right? Sure for experimental releases they may not know how many will want it but better they not waste time or money making/putting the extra stock on sale right? For anything that would be a rereleased or in the vein of 2010s sweet style, especially jewelry, people will easily buy a MTO until space runs out similar to BABY.

>>10396694
I'm talking about Philippines and Myanmar. Not China. Those third world ones are dirt cheap and unethical as hell.

>>10396695
It ends up being a situation of how the product sits and what you do with it. From the factory's point of view its a mto either way, but the difference is you wait until you have stock in hand to sell vs selling it on reserve then ordering it. By waiting all the time to order you are pushing the wait onto the customer and that can be annoying. People already get antsy about ap mtos, and Jetj has ones that take like a year or something. If they wanted to do everything MTO, you would have to do seasonal stuff for the fall by feb or something, it messes with the timing of everything. Less hype too with releases that doesnt help, no one is that hyped over baby.

For trying to keep on top of things and release reguarly its better to order before and then sell when you have stock. Especially since AP has physical stores, they need to generate business to those stores to keep them profitable. They also have their sales and events that have exclusives that also need to be done on time.

Basically mto makes sense when its small amounts you make but large businesses struggle to see it working out well

>>10396684
Ignoring everyone arguing about this...
I agree 100%.

Just limit it to something reasonable, but obviously enough, like a max quantity of 5 of the same, identical item (So that in theory you could still get like 15 JSKs). Release scalpers would vanish.

>>10396708
NTA but I'm confused at how so many taobao brands do all their releases as preorders/mto then. It's not like taobao brands have a lot of hype (I think)

>>10396713
Taobao has the luxury of being way cheaper (they cut costs in quality and skill) and closer to their factories and have no interest in selling stock afterwards.Their leftovers are the amount of stuff they had to order anyways for the numbers to work. Say if you have to order 100 pieces, if you only get 80 orders you have to order 100 and hope the other 20 get sold later on. But this isnt what they want, because they are wanting the money upfront, it is more costly to have stuff not sold already as they are directly using it for their costs to make it all work. If anything it is cheaper to do MTOs since you get the profit from the beginning (like how kickstarters work) but the issue is that you dont really show that you are a brand that has products...you just have ideas. Its harder to build up a clientele or get into things a real brand does like having their stuff stocked in physical stores (their own or like kera) if you never plan for things to sit around. And taobao stores are on that line of being a bit sketchy since they always seem to be one step away from just disappearing.

Ap is way bigger than other brands, so they are clearly going for a different model because of their size. They want stock, they want to release often, they want people to do blood baths. They release every other week stuff, and do way more variety in products than any taobao store. Taobao brands seem to release 1-2 dresses now and then. Other brands either have a variety of having stuff in reservation and leftovers to be normal stock (baby, vm), do only reservations with some stock set aside for storefronts (Jetj, boz), or back and forth depends on demand like Ap does (IW, Moitie). For AP their Mtos are them using the format to generate hype, as they can afford upfront costs.

>>10396621
I did too anon and I am still no closer to figuring it out. Tried adding Tenso's to my card as a billing address, tried just putting in my address so the important parts would match, I'm stumped. I asked Tenso last week but no response as of yet.

>>10396851
It's confusing because AP Japan's site even says that people should use Tenso.

I'm going to try to email AP Japan, but I'm not sure if they will respond to an English email.

Heads up

>>10396946
As if the confirm-by-paypal system wasn't bad enough. I'm glad already have an account.

>>10396946
this seems like a little much

>>10396956
>I'm glad already have an account.
This, although I wanted to re-create it later to change my nickname (current one is unused with no sales and feedback). I can't trust Tenso with my personal data, and now LM mods want me to share it.

>>10396576
Since it is your DD, try one more time to ask for shipping confirmation, and gently include that you will file a claim if you don't hear back in a day or two. I hope it works out, it would suck to miss out on your DD from a shitty seller...

>>10396925
And here I thought I would never want to buy a yukata... these are too good to pass up.

>>10396865
Thank you Tenso very cool

>>10396909
I couldn't see myself wearing a yukata, but gosh, these are beautiful. Finally a good use for their painting prints.

>>10396909
There is a kimono thread

>>10396971
There has been an increase in scammer accounts lately. Honestly I'd rather have a strictly vetted system and I'm impressed with LM for stepping it up.

>>10397023

Gulls, in your experiences, which comms are the best? Not necessarily just best dressed either--factor in size, connectiveness, drama levels, etc. We hear all the time about the bad comms, so I'd love to hear about the best, if you could.

>>10397023
>complaining about lolita brand release posts in the lolita general

Jeez /cgl/ is cranky lately

>>10397024
As if this will stop them. You can buy a fake ID for like $5. I'd rather they would've done something against the sellers who treat LM like their shop front or spam their barely lolita related garbage but I guess that's hard if at least one of them is in their mod team.

>>10396909
Anyone else manage to get the Bosch one? it sold out extremely quickly

Tamie has a video with a recap about the Le Panier fiasco 2 years ago and speculations on what happened
TL;DR on the portion about speculations
>Le Panier is known for their very limited reservations in limited edition colourways
>Le Panier holds a reservation for IW's Rabbit Letter Sailor JSK, alongside MM's Farutetto JSK
>Le Panier limits reservation numbers to small amounts as usual
>All reservation slots filled for the IW JSK
>Rabbit Letter Sailor JSK could not be made because orders did not reach the factory's minimum order
>People get angry, message IW
>IW says that it was Le Panier who told them the dress could not be made
>IW checks with Le Panier
>noreply.mp3
>Le Panier basically just told everyone that the Japanese brands could not make the dresses and then bailed on both the burandos and the customers
>Tamie speculates that a similar thing happened with MM and the Farutetto JSK

>>10397002
God damn it.

I'll post here if AP Japan actually replies to my email, but their FAQ is a complete lie... unless they expect everyone in the world to have a Japanese credit card.

>>10397119
You used to be able to use Tenso and jus put in your own credit card with the only issue being if you select cash on delivery. When did that change?

>>10397119
You shouldn’t be getting that error if you put the tenso address in the ship to field. Double check where you are entering the address.

>>10397069
Finnish comm

>>10397124
>tenso address in the ship to field
I'm talking about the billing address field. The billing address only allows a Japan address and my credit card is linked to an American address. I haven't actually gone all the way through the purchase, so maybe putting the Tenso address in *both* the shipping and billing fields will work, but I'm guessing it won't.

>>10397123
I can use my own credit card, but I don't know what to do about the billing address since the country is locked to Japan. I'm not sure how it was in the past because this is the first time I'm trying.

>>10397129
Huh, well you could always try to put it in. I usually use Tenso’s buying service when I need a Japanese credit card so you can try that. Honestly, it’s been a long while since I bought from AP japan so I wish I was more helpful

>>10397137
I basically only got a Tenso address so I could have the ability to purchase instantly during AP bloodbath releases, so having a third-party buy for me defeats the point, unfortunately.

Thank you anyways, anon.

>>10397089
LM has been used to sell handmade since it’s inception without issue. Why would it change now?

>>10397129
Put the billing info the same as your shipping. Im not sure why this is hard for you to get, but they dont really check if your cc matches your billing address.

>>10397069
From experience, mid size comms. They don't have the numbers of big city comms but are still decently active unlike smaller comms. People are still interested in welcoming new people to the community and making new friends.

In large city comms people tend to have their cliques, and be kind of uninterested in getting to make new friendd. Making large meets is a pain because you need to find a venue to host a large amount of people and it's much more expensive in general. Big cities tend to have better dressed lolitas and much more brand to offbrand ratio.

>>10397184
Like I said, I didn't continue all the way through the purchase (I was just testing at the time), so there was no way for me to know if it would get rejected or not.

But I'll try this, even if anon's other reply from Tenso seemed to not advocate it.

>>10397184
nta but you're incorrect. most banks/cc companies flag any purchase that doesn't have your postal code. AP's PoS system probably has a similar check in place and will cancel anon's order. anon will just be wasting everyone's time.

>>10397165
no one is complaining about handmade related items, but some of these "decoden" retards who don't even know how to craft shill their ugly shit all day.

>>10397184
The isn't true at all. I'm other anon and I've tried using Tenso's address, both romanized and not. I've also added both versions to my account so they'd recognize it and I just get a different error. It's not being blocked by my bank, either, I did call to make sure. Honestly at a loss considering AP said this should be possible and clearly other people in the US are able to do it.

>>10397369
can you post a screen shot of the page where you enter the info?

>>10397370
Nayrt but here it is. (I'm this anon >>10397129)

Left is billing, right is shipping. You cannot change the country and there is no category for "State" either, so US addresses won't work.

>>10397370
>>10397378
In English.

>>10397378
>>10397380
anyway you can just put your real zip in but tenso info in the other fields?

>>10397389
Just tried. The normal, 5-digit zipcode doesn't work, and adding the 4-digit extension (US zipcodes are really 9-digits) doesn't work either.

>>10397369
And Im telling you that my billing address is the exact same as my shipping address and that is how my account is setup. I ordered from AP as recently as Feb.

My CC is not japanese.

>>10397389
You can't, I tried. It'll say your zip is incorrect because you have to choose a prefecture and the zip has to match.
>>10397395
Idk what to tell you anon, if it worked I'd have done it. Maybe it changed recently.

>>10396946
That's certainly not breaking any laws.

>>10396946
>>10397024
I’m also very glad.

>>10397089
Who’s going to get a fake ID just to sell on LM? You?

>>10397419
What laws?

>>10397419
Lmao how's it different than Tenso asking for your ID and documentation to verify?

>>10397419
It’s not tho

>>10397414
Put in your forwarding address. Include C/o your name. Your credit card will work if it's logo is displayed on the site. If not, your credit card is declining the transaction.

>>10397421
The people who scammed before and are the reason for the rule.

>>10397422
Tenso is a registered business that has to function under privacy laws and sure as hell has more security than some LM mod's inbox.

>>10397425
anon that's not how it works. like i said >>10397197 AP might have security restrictions in their sales system. usually you get flagged for fraud if your ZIP code is wrong and the site will decline the order.

>>10397434
They said censored for a reason. They probably just want your face on a photo. You’d be surprised how effective asking for that much is in stopping scammers.

>>10397442
Yes, it does. My account does not have my irl address and I just ordered in February.

>>10397395
>>10397425
>>10397454
Just to clarify -- you are using your Tenso address for the billing address and shipping address?

(And just because I'm curious, do you live in the US?)

>>10397446
Exactly.

>>10397482
I'm not the first anon, but I'm the second anon posts. I'm in the US using Amex. I don't use tenso, I use a different FS, but when I did before they changed policy, it was the same.

Check that you're not putting in the city twice. I've had that cause problems.

>>10397482
First anon here. Yes I am using tenso as the billing address and the shipping address. It is literally the same. I am not in the US, but Canada, but its the same thing.

Go to tenso and click on the hyperlink showing you how to add the address. The one for rakuten shows you with english labels so you can see what the postal code is (the one with the 7 digits and a hyphen), and google translate to find what the city is. The rest I put into address details and used the number they list.

>>10397446
If they take the effort to scam on LM out of all places that won't hold them back, but it will scare away any legit new seller who doesn't want to bother giving their ID to a niche page that doesn't even have a proper address and previously checked their mails once every blue moon. I'm just annoyed that out of all the things people ever complained about, the only action they ever take is to make it harder to register.

>>10397630
Paypal itself was a pretty big barrier to entry, before that I was used to selling places like Amazon that weren't linked to PayPal. I didn't get a LM for a long time because I was afraid to give away my bank info to a website

>>10397522
Other anon here, yes and I'm in the US.
>>10397482
This is what mine looks like. I'm using Visa debit and I confirmed with my bank that nothing is being blocked, nothing is even coming through.

>>10397482
Other anon here, yes and I'm in the US.
>>10397522
This is what mine looks like. I'm using Visa debit and I confirmed with my bank that nothing is being blocked, nothing is even coming through.

>>10396270
I think angelic pretty killed sweet with their low quality over complicated dresses. Make sweet lolita simple again!

>>10397664
It may be a stupid suggestion, but does putting the "Address details" all on one line make any difference?

>>10396064
I actually think it's quite useful. This situation alone is proof that if you're going to make a stand against bullying, your heart has to be in the right place otherwise it'll fall through. You can be contrarian but cgl loved to shit on that whole situation and now you're acting like you're above it?

baka. the absolute state of summer.

Hey gulls, since we're on the topic of Tenso, I signed up for it in 2015 for one order then didn't use it again. I've moved since then and I'm wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.
My old address is the verified one and I've updated all my info, but I'm still a little concerned the package could end up at the old address. Going off their FAQ I should be ok I think, but I'm still a little hesitant.

>>10397672
It does not, unfortunately. It loaded a little longer and I got my hopes up haha, thank you for the suggestion, though!

Do any brands still make cotton dresses at this point?

>>10397699
Sheglit and Victorian maiden does.

>>10397699

Innocent world too but their cotton is kind of thin these days.

Sheglit tends to be poly or blend.

>>10397688
I sent a photo of my ID with my name and address and they changed it for me.

>>10397664
Perhaps the problem is that you are using a debit and not a "credit" credit card? Sometimes, when buying things on Japanese sites, it will take my US credit card, but not my US debit card.

>>10397803
Yeah that’s a good point, debit visa isn’t a credit card. It’s not universally seen as one and they would have to specifically say they accept it. I don’t know any Japanese store that does

>>10397664
Yeah, you're putting the city in twice. The first address box is just numbers, like my screenshot.

>>10397831
debit cards from the US operate as credit cards tho.

>>10397858
They can, but they also don't, sometimes. Japan runs things differently than the US. When I go to Japan, some stores take my US debit fine and others will decline it and ask for a different credit card. It's not the same.

>>10397867
Especially Visa Debit.

>>10397698
Try what >>10397851 said? There's like 4 kanji that look the same so maybe they are right! Let us know if it works!

WTB BABY’s Tears of the Snow Princess OP in either pink or sax if anyone has it and is willing to sell. I don’t want black or ivory.

>>10397903
>>10397869
>>10397867

I'm giving up for now, requested it from AP Paris instead, but I'll keep that in mind for next time and definitely try a credit card. Thank you anons!

For anyone interested, BABY JP is shipping orders into the US via the San Francisco store apparently

Was trying to purchase something from CC. Looks like they added DHL for shipping to the USA.

This is good progress, but it sucks that I can't buy one item without paying $20 for shipping now.

I sent CC an email asking if all my orders that are on hold can be combined and shipped with DHL with added insurance. Hoping they reply.

>>10397978
They responded super quickly.
Looks like there is hope!

Better than Remambo. I decided to try them out and they said they'd only do DHL if I had my own account...guess I'll do surface mail or fedex

It's always the fucking hamplanets. Who is even still buying from her? The bodyline era has been over for a while now.

What happened to the Harajuku pop aatp contest? They said the would update it in a few days but they never did.

>>10397958
That's irritating. You're welcome I guess.

Just sitting here waiting for AP USA to release Royal Crown Berry...

>>10398224
It’s Memorial Day weekend. They’ll probably release it next weekend at the soonest.

>>10397726
Don't mind if I do
Meta best brand. So pretty, good quality, cheap, simple

>>10398228
Yeah, I guess it's just delayed but it's hard to tell when the US shop will get something since the releases are so inconsistent. Paris gets to put up a reservation almost immediately whereas US is like an afterthought.

>>10398254
My kindred. May your fantastic sale purchases be cotton and your comm members be surprised when you say “Its Meta”

>>10398254
>>10398292
>walks into thread
Is this a cult?

>>10398271
where DO people post dress reviews these days?

>>10398306
YouTube

>>10398304
Yes. Join us we have an easy to use website and surprisingly good products (but seriously Meta has been shockingly competent lately; I would suggest paying more attention to their releases if you are into sweet or classic)

>>10398254
>cheap
Unfortunately I always feel like all the stuff I want from Meta is more expensive than all the stuff I want from other brands. For example, right now from btssb I want kumya's cherry jsk and lace frill jsk which are in the lower 200s but from meta i want the kitten tulip and marine bear which are 300+. I understand that doesn't mean Meta is a more expensive brand, but it's an annoying coincidence. I wear a lot of their lucky pack skirts for daily wear, though.

>>10398324
Tragic. Most of the dresses I like are in the $200-300 range and often go on sale. the Kuma’s cherry one is cute as shit though and I don’t even wear prints much

Did I hallucinate there being a thread for upholstery-like coords? I can't find it.

>>10398552
>>10398552
Huh, I wonder if it got deleted because it had a cute intro post. The mods mystify me sometimes... it was entirely on topic

>>10398554
Maybe the intro about hiding from a grandma with T-rex vision was too absurd for 4chan.

>>10398256
i imagine covid19 is impacting the stock the US store is getting

>>10398552
>>10398554
It's on RBT and doesn't look like it broke any rules before it was deleted. Who knows? Maybe a crossboarder was mad it didn't pander to his fetish so he reported it.

>>10398554
>>10398580
like, what rule could it even have been reported under?

>>10398552

Well that makes me upset. It was cute and an excuse to post grandma kei. I was about to post some too...

>>10398584
I suppose if the mod was extremely dumb and didn't get the joke/read any of the thread they could have thought it was a feels thread misfire? but that is a stretch

>>10398554
>>10398555
>>10398580
>>10398587
The thread was probably started by a larping male or something. It smells like a robot or something to me, explains the weird intro.

>>10398620
anon, I...

>>10398620
scrotes can't fap to grandma-couch classic, anon. a scrote would've made a sweet thread requesting toy/childish prints

>>10398620
What scrote knows that we call gobelin print grandma couch print and then dumps like 50 beautiful classic coords

>>10398620
The "weird" intro was a joke about how classic florals look like vintage furniture. Keep up.

god i hate newfags. that thread was a shitty dump thread with no title and cringy attention grabbing roleplaying. (teehee i gotta run away guys!) of course it got deleted, weird rp threads like that aren't allowed.

>>10398672
Lighten up anon. I'm not new and I doubt the other posters are either. The caturday one was just as cute and it was aloud. and it was a FANTASTIC dump thread as far as images go. both op and other anons were doing great.

>>10398673

>>10398672
jesus who shit in your cereal

>>10398672
Your taste is shit and you should feel bad

>>10398673
i'm just saying it's not surprising it was deleted, you can't post roleplay threads like that.

Quit shitting up the general thread. The other thread got deleted, who knows or cares why, it won't un-delete it. Stop acting new and taking bait.

>>10398687
its not shitting up the general if no one else is talking about anything else

>>10398585
maybe the real grandmas were the friends we made along the way

>>10398687
introduce a different topic then, whippersnapper

>>10396493
That listing has been on LM since I started buying there, like 3 years+ ago... She's been "leaving lolita" for that long as well.. possibly even longer since it's been there since I started.

>>10397645
Pay pal isn't your bank info though. Yes, it is connected, but buyers/sellers only see your paypal info, nothing about your bank at all.

> AP's new release for 5/23

>>10398722
Uh, nayrt but giving your bank account info to Paypal is still giving your bank info to a website, genius

>>10398748
then just dont use paypal, genius

>>10398737
another day where AP releases some of the ugliest solids I’ve ever seen. I’m so fucking sick of beige/navy/mauve releases

>>10398737
i fucking hate these fugly bows.

>>10398755
The bows are some limp, forever 21 shit.

>>10398751
I don’t care? Like I said I’m not that anon, I’ve had a Paypal long enough to have lied about my age when I first signed up. Some people just don’t want to give their bank details to a website and you telling them the merchant doesn’t see their details doesn’t negate that

>>10398755
Headbows remind me of these Doll's Tea Party headdresses. Too simple tho, yet still cute.

>>10398777
I’d like these a lot more if they had just scrapped the dress and released these as a basic accessory in ten colors.

>>10398748
You can use paypaly with pre-paid "gift cards"/debit cards too. there are many ways to use paypal without your bank

>>10398791
Could you always do that? I think I tried a few times unsuccessfully before relenting and giving it my actual bank account numbers

>>10398791
I’m pretty sure you can only use gift cards if you first give Paypal a debit or credit card, or a bank account. You have to give them a real account before they’ll let you use any throwaway cards.

>>10398813
I don't have a debit or bank attached to my paypal.

this has to be gayest stock pic i've ever seen and i love it

how do you no paypal anons make online purchases if you refuse to give your info to any website? buy everything in person? physical gift cards always?

Well, it’s actually pretty cute in reality with all those mesh details.

Who else is taking part in the Moitie tea party tomorrow? What should I expect? I've never taken part in one of those online tea parties before, is it just going to be full of people lagging and trying not to talk over each other?

>>10398854
i saw this and thought the same.

>>10398859
I am! No idea! I figure I'll put some kahlua in my coffee and see how it plays out.

>>10398917
I like you anon, hopefully you’re on the same spot as me

>>10398918
*slot

>>10398854
This picture looks so much better than the stock photo. OPs photo made it look super scratchy.

>>10398846
I have one now but used to only use credit card. My bank account has thousands of dollars, my credit card doesn't. Same reason you should use credit not debit. You can dispute credit fraud easier and it's less devastating than an entire checking or savings account being breached

>>10398791
You can also just use your credit card if you are just shopping. I didn't give paypal my bank info until I needed to take money out of it which... was like years into having a bank account. I don't sell things

>>10398938
Actually I just checked and it still doesn't have my bank account. I misremembered setting up a paypal "bank account" to just hold the cash I got from someone so I could use it later through paypal.

In conclusion: just use a credit card

>>10398829
>>10398940
Then how did you verify your account for Lacemarket? Anon was saying its a barrier to entry. Which it is. Many younger users don't have a bank account, but can use a prepaid credit card or their parents card.

>>10398966
Idk maybe my account is old enough so its not an issue? I've never had a problem with using LM. Also, not to be rude, but if someone is too young to have a credit card or bank account and can't get permission from their parents to buy things online they... probably shouldn't be buying things online.

WOW YOU GUYS

>>10398990
I wonder isn'tt there any decline in qulity compared to previous versions. Anywys must stay strong and not to grab multiple colorways without a second thought.

>>10398990
I wonder isn't there a decline in quality compared to previous versions. Anyways must stay strong and not to grab multiple colorways without a second thought.

>>10398966
nta but when LM was first created all you needed to do for verification was link your EGL feedback from LJ.

>>10398854
Wow!! Your photo makes the dress look 100x better. I have higher hopes now for my jsk set

>>10398854
>>10399001
Why buy the dress if you don’t like it?

>>10398990
When I see this, all I want is Chick-Chan in every color.

>>10398993
The quality does look significantly worse. The pink bear and brown bear in particular just look like those squished dollar store plushies you find at the bottom of the barrel.

>>10399020
>Chick-Chan in every color.
PLEASE.

>>10399020
I didn't notice it at first, but there is yellow bear with pink ribbon too. Not sure if they all are going to be released tho.
Onto quality, I honestly liked their older bears a bit better for them having fancier ribbons and feet full covered in fur. Neo Milky has these white feet, which is probs good for Charlotte's Bear owners heh.

>>10399027
Chick-Chan is truly the most underutilized AP creation.

>>10399020
>>10399027
>>10399038
Unfortunately chick chan isn’t very popular in japan

>>10398854
Not sure if it's a filter kira imai used maybe but the mesh/ chiffon matches so much better here. The OP is cute but I'm just not a fan on how mismatched it looks in other pics like this display one, so it's still a pass for me sadly.

>>10398970
Yes, mine is the same, but it is a barrier to entry now for new users.
If they have the money, why are you worrying about how they are paying? That's irrelevant and you're showing your privilege. You don't need a bank account to use a prepaid card. If they don't pay, they'll get negative feedback like anyone else.

>>10398995
Yes, but that is not true now.

>>10398990
What is it with AP and their love of the word 'milky'?

>>10399037
Ap really trying to turn these into their own Usakumya huh

>>10397127

>>10399108
Its literally a scam security measure. People can't easily make a ton of bank accounts so it stops sock puppet accounts.

>>10399108
Apparently being a responsible adult is "showing privilege." Sorry not all of us live in 3rd world parts of the country

>>10399149
The worst part is I'm who they responded to and I've volunteered entire weeks of my life helping poverty level teens (including kids of illegal immigrants so dont try me) set up bank accounts lmfao. its not impossible by any means

>>10399132
>>10399156
It's still a barrier to entry. Especially with current situation.

>>10399116
Just the usual Engrish, anon.
They don't use the word like we do. They probably (for the most part) don't know that it can be used in a dirty way.

>>10398769
then those people don't get to buy shit online. Tough shit.

>>10398587
It's not even that. They switch out mods and jannies so much now to the point where they get over run with free tasks and they just straight up delete shit that gets reported 3 times.
They rarely seem to follow through on the false report thing. Mostly because in order for that to be true, the thread has to be extremely on topic.
Most threads aren't. Cgl is kind of different in that we *try* to have on topic discussion, but on other boards it's too common for shit to not be on topic for anyone to actually care about what's happening.

>>10398584
could have been seen as trolling outside of /b/.

>>10399108
But isn’t it possible for their parents to cancel the sale that their underage kid has done, so the seller is dragged thr the process of giving a refund and getting their stuff back when they could get rid of it already. Plus, what kind of privilege do you mean taking that they have money, age? They might wait for a while and get it, what are we talking about.

>>10399411
>But isn’t it possible for their parents to cancel the sale that their underage kid has done
I used to work for a company where we wouldn't cancel and refund for people saying their kid bought something. It's a pretty shitty excuse and everyone just talked about how bad those people were at parenting their kids.

Apparently Japan is preparing to lift its emergency measures for covid. Wonder if packages will start coming out of the void here soon.

>>10399486
Sauce

>>10399487
Google

>>10399274
That is the point. There is no security measure to prevent sock puppet accounts by scammers that ISNT a barrier to entry. That is literally the goal, dumbass,

>>10399461
PayPal will cancel transactions if I say I decided I didn’t like the shade of pink it was today.

>>10399486
I have like three shopping services keeping my stuff at their warehouses since the beginning of the Great Plague. This shit is completely fucked.

>>10399487
Literally just search Japan lifting restrictions

>>10399461
Wait, is that legally acceptable to reject the cancelation when buyer is underage? Just asking, but isn't there some limit for purchase, like teen has enoigh responsibility to buy $20 shirt, but not $300 dress.

>>10398990
At one hand it's actually great to buy directly from AP, no scalpers, no bullshit. At another I'm still into older Milkys rather than newer ones. What do?

>>10399504
Honestly been contemplating whether to return stuff or not but since things might be moving along here soon Im starting to have some hope.
Then again there must be a shit ton of backup with the mail.

Yikes, exactly what about this is worth more than 1k? https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m411804923

>>10399411
You are assuming a harmful intent. I'm speaking of the legit users who have money, but cannot open a bank account.

The privilege I'm referencing is the fact that so many people think it's easy to open a bank account. But in the US, not everyone has a street address so it is more difficult to get one.

>>10399572
why would homeless people need luxury fashion

What did everyone think of the Moitie online tea party?

>>10399595
I had a lot of fun! I’m really happy they chose to do that!

>>10399572
>The privilege I'm referencing is the fact that so many people think it's easy to open a bank account. But in the US, not everyone has a street address so it is more difficult to get one.
Again, I have opened bank accounts in the US for 16 year olds who's parents are illegal immigrants. It doesn't get much harder than that and it was mostly just a matter of explaining what paperwork the kid needed to sign. Yes, there are instances where getting a bank account is impossible but then we are at payday loan desperation levels of personal situations and you probably shouldn't be focused on buying a luxury fashion at that point.

There ARE issues with not trusting banks or not believing its possible to get accounts in some cultural circles in the US, but its more of a perception thing. bank accounts aren't loans. if you have enough money to buy a lolita dress you have enough to get a bank account.

>>10399116
it's a cute word

>>10399601
Oh, and I should clarify the 16 year olds were all below poverty level and one of them secretly lived in a van I shit you not. Again, perception not actuality.

>>10399595
It was fun but I wish everyone had an equal opportunity to talk (more or less).
The louder ones in our group hogged most of the conversation, we had a really annoying woman who kept inserting herself into every topic.
What's with the loudest people always being the worst dressed of the lot?

>>10399572
They are just being stopped from buying and selling on a community sales page to prevent fraud. In the grand scheme of things, CC, WW, swap meets and local comm pages are still open.

>>10399604
How, without a ssn or a itin?

>>10399609
Their parents, not them. Dreamers are a thing, anon.

>>10399609
Oh and the kid lied to us and the bank about where he lived... we only found out later after he stopped working for us.

>>10399610
So the kid opened a bank account in the name of their parents, no questions asked?
How shady can it be?

>>10399612
You don't need your parents to be the joint account holders, anon.

>>10399595
It was more fun than I thought! What were everyone's favourite coords?

>>10399606
I feel like with the size of the groups and the fact that people didn't generally know each other that's kind of unavoidable. Not to mention that not everyone's English was perfect which I guess would make you feel less confident about having to insert yourself into the conversation.

>>10399461
Any reputable bank will give you your money back if a child used your card without authorization.

>>10399572
If people have money but can’t open a bank account then it sounds like the money isn’t legit? Or they’re a fraud? How do these said people get IDs without a street address? You need an ID to do practically anything in this country, especially a bank account. Tl;dr none of what you said makes sense

>>10399637
>You need an ID to do practically anything in this country, especially a bank account.
Tbh it is far easier to get a bank account than a valid state ID. But then again, you need an ID for LM so maybe that’s point isn’t valid... anyhow whatever kid on this thread isn’t mad because they can’t buy on LM without heir parents permission just use WW or something

does wunderwelt sell their clothing to England

>>10399654
Yes, but it's better to using a forwarding company when using them to avoid paying high customs. another option is to try and shop in Atelier Pierrot whenever it's possible because they mark stuff down.

>>10399601
The fact that you had to help them proves my point. It is a barrier and it is difficult. And you mention nothing of people who live in rural areas that have a home without a street address.

>>10399502
Yeah, I had to deal with PP disputes.

>>10399517
I don't know and I don't work there anymore but the company had a legal team so I assume it was in our Terms of Service which is why I got to tell people no to refunds.

>>10399632
That's called doing a chargeback.

>>10399805
I was mostly helping because they were 16 and clueless, not because it was particularly difficult. And yes, there are instances where it is impossible to get a bank account. But see my point about the many other ways to buy second hand. It sucks, but opening up the LM group to tons of fraud just so a small segment of the lolita population can get access to one particular second hand sales site is not a super enticing argument.

>>10399608
Buying secondhand locally is more affordable, so that barrier is in fact more harmful to that subset of people. Just because it's to prevent harm doesn't mean it can't cause harm.

>>10399808
>Tons of fraud
Do you have actual data on how much fraud there was?
It was open before. Also not everyone wants to use PayPal as a payment method in the first place, it's caused legit sellers to not bother making an account and sell online elsewhere. I'm saying PayPal shouldn't be the only method to "verify" your account.

>>10399817
Okay, what do you suggest for fraud prevention?

Has anyone heard a release date for this? I looked at the Kera article but didn’t see one.

>>10399843
I was really excited about this dress until someone reminded me that the author or Wizard of Oz was kind of a creep about little girls.
I'm too scared to wear it and then run into a lit major who knows all about fucking Baum.

>>10399855
goddamit, this is why we can't have nice things

>>10399864
I know. I used to really like the movie adaptation. It's all kind of been ruined for me.

>>10399855
Oh no, really? I read all the dozen or so books as a kid and loved them, that’s why I wanted this dress.

>>10399855
I'm a lit major who wrote plural papers on Baum and the gold standard and I had not heard that. You'll be fine

>>10399855
I have never heard of this and can't find any substantial evidence beyond some bad quora lit anlysis online. What are you referencing?

>>10399875
>You'll be fine
No? The guy does come off creepy writing those stories.

>>10399877
People I know who mentioned this. I'm going to consult with my roommate though at some point because I haven't heard their opinion yet and they've read things like lolita and have better takes than most people I know. Plus I trust them and and I think they're smart.

>>10399819
Like I said, PayPal shouldn't be the only method to "verify" your account. Add an alternative method if you're stuck on keeping PayPal linked.

>>10399883
Is this just based on the content itself? There ar like 8 theories about what it’s a political allegory for (including the gold standard per my comment) and none of them involve “he’s a creep.” Wtf?

>>10399887
Right, what alternative method do you suggest (that doesn’t involve IDs because we discussed that)?

>>10399883
Wait, is this seriously what you meant when you said he’s a creep? What the fuck, you can’t go around accusing people of being creeps because they write children’s books about children.

>>10399921
>>10399925
It is kind of content based, but moreso that he wrote several stories about young women and seemed to have an obsession with young girls which is what creeps me out.

>>10399926
This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever read. Sorry he makes you uncomfortable, but sounds like you have no real evidence.

>>10399929
I'm not saying I had any evidence of this. My original posts mention that I heard this second hand from people who went to college and only read his stuff because they were in college.

I haven't even read his work. I just mentioned Wizard of Oz a few times in public settings and then I watched people have meltdowns over how creepy Baum is.

My concern is wearing the dress and then having to deal with people who think this way because I know the exist.

>>10399620
I think perhaps there could be more activities where the quieter ones could speak up. It's not really as fun if it's always the same few people talking.

>>10399930
It sure is creepy how Laura Numeroff wrote so many children’s books centered around a mouse...it’s almost like she’s uncomfortably obsessed with mice or something and wow it just creeps me out.

You’re a moron and that’s what you sound like.

I’ve never heard anyone say shit about Baum before, and while I didn’t study his books scholastically I do bring them up a lot because they’re a beloved part of my childhood. Sounds like you just hang out with a bunch of airheaded snowflakes who wordvomit whatever hateful bullshit they heard last. Have fun letting other people influence you so easily.

>>10399930
If people get meltdowns over a popular children's book then that's kind of on them and not on you.

>>10399855
Do you know that the author of Alice in Wonderland was an actual pedo? With how heavily present Alice is in this fashion, you should be opposed to all of lolita then too. The rest of us know how to separate the art from the artist

>>10399875
>lit major
how can you afford lolita lmao

>>10399934
Why are you comparing mice to young girls?
If anyone is moronic, it's you right now.

>>10399935
I say meltdown but what I mean is they just started rambling about how Baum was a creep who was obsessed with little girls.

>>10399975
Stop trying to twist this. Lolita fashion is a street fashion that started in japan that has nothing to do with young girls. It's mean for women to wear. Adult women.

>separate the art from the artist
Right, I should watch Woody Allen films cause I need to separate the art from the artist. What a weird justification.

>>10399922
Why are you asking me? Are you the dev and would actually change it?

>>10400003
>seriously acting like Alice isn't a huge part of lolita culture
are you new or just stupid

>>10400003
What have Me Too done to people

>>10400003
>rambling about some dead author when someone brings up a children's book

Yeah change your friends, they sound pretentious as hell. If my friend enjoyed a book that had a problematic author, I'd bring it up once and then just let people enjoy things. It's not like the actual story has any issues. I'm still waiting to hear their side on what's the deal with Baum.

>>10399855
Literally nobody is going to care or notice it’s Wizard of Oz themed at first glance. It’s still one of the most well loved movies of all time that airs on tv all the time.

>>10400021
get out

>>10399984
With the cushy office job I got when I graduated because all the other dumb bitches got useless marketing degrees

>>10400003
There’s a difference between documented sexual assault allegations and being like “oh it’s weird his children’s books were about children”

In case anyone was wondering what people were talking about when we said that the community’s obsession with ~finding the kinksters and pedos~ was going a touch too far, this is what we meant. After a certain point you are making up shit just to find problems,

>>10400006
Because you seem so sure there are alternate solutions that would work, to the point where you insisted they need to implement them for half a thread. I want to know what they are. Glad to hear there are options.

>>10400038
No u
>>10400041
Yeah this, just don't buy that print if it bothers your friends so much. Or get friends that aren't snowflakes.

>>10400021
The people who mentioned this stuff in the past were just randoms at parties - not my friend.
I talked to my friend and all they could come up with is that the story is an allegory for the gold standard. Which makes sense.

She went on to mention how apparently Lewis Carroll was accused of having a weird relationship with his niece but it turns out she grew up to be very old (around 90 or something like that) and when people asked her about that relationship, she said that nothing weird happened.

So both authors are fine in my opinion.
It was just some randoms who took some kind of issue with it and they might have been misinformed.

>>10400041
>making shit up just to find problems
I was more just trying to discuss it but everyone here gets super fucking defensive over this shit, hence all the previous replies about this so far.
Anyway - I'm concerned about that kind of thing because my dad is a creepy pedo so it would be hypocritical of me to just watch/read media that was made by creepy pedo's. It effects me directly. I'm not just trying to jump on some fucking Me Too bandwagon shit.

>>10400089
Again, it wasn't my friends who said this. Just some rando's at parties in the past.

>>10400099
if the potential makes you uncomfortable, don't buy it, you'll always be uncomfortable whenever you're reminded. either do research and dispel your fears or confirm them and don't get it, or just don't get it. i don't understand why this is so complicated.

>>10400106
It's not complicated, it was just a discussion.
It's over now, don't worry. You're free to change the subject anytime.

>>10400099
carroll's favorite hobby was taking pics of naked little girls. he was a pedo. get over it y'all

I've been struggling to put up some of my dresses for sale because I'm afraid I'll regret selling them and be unable to find them again down the line (being rare and old dresses). Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you decide on what to do?

>>10399817
>Do you have actual data on how much fraud there was
According to the blacklist, not a lot to justify ID checks.

>>10400140
I like to wear the dresses I'm thinking of selling one more time before I list them. If I don't feel good in it or if I can't see myself wearing it again, I sell. What good is a rare and old dress if you don't want to wear it anymore? It's better for it to go to someone that will love it.

>>10400255
I bought a dress from a seller that accidentally gave me awful feedback right away and we got to talking, apparently there are people going around "buying" tons of listings and giving bad feedback over and over? They went through multiple accounts to do so and she mistook me for one. It's likely not just straight scamming but general abuse.

>>10400129
evidence?

>>10400140
Yeah. The covid shit hit me hard and I lost my job and unemployment was backed up for ages.
I almost sold a dress I have that doesn't fit me but then I started getting checks rolling in. I didn't need to sell out of desperation anymore but I still kind of want to sell it.

I know I'd be able to fit into it someday.. but I could also just buy a different dress that fits if I sold it.

>>10400099
If what randos think bothers you that much then lolita isn't the hobby for you.

The Alice and the Pirates coord and drawing contest is back on, I don't know why they closed it in the first place. The deadline is now the May 7th, and they changed it so that you can submit your entry on Weibo as well as twitter (so lots of chinese people will be entering now).
The theme is 'pirates and blooming flowers in a dark style', for both the illustration and coord contests.

>>10400279
They were lolitas. Just randoms at tea parties. Sorry for not explaining in detail.

>>10400294
The prize for the illustration contest

Aatp have lots of cute dresses, I have no idea why they chose to give this when it's an unpopular cut and an unpopular colourway, but it's cute enough I suppose. I'll be entering regardless, I've always wondered how drop waist cuts would look on me

>>10400297
They don’t want the prize to be something that will actually sell. I agree tho, it’s not that bad.

I remember a few months back someone posted an archive of coord pics sorted by print, I think it was largely AP sweet prints. Does anyone still have the link to that?

>>10400099
We are defensive because it’s dumb, both from a historical and literary analysis perspective. It’s on the same level as lor selling toy factory because she thought the bear looked like it was smoking a joint.

>>10400296
Point still stands. Learn to stand up for you and your self expression.

>>10400341
Check archive. Someone was talking about doing it as a collective project and I think that’s would be helpful. Would love it for popular solids like Gathered chiffon

>>10400262
Can you not use Google?

>You can't provide criticism if you can't provide solutions
The requirement should not exist. You're the one who insists that there's so many fraudulent users without any data to support your claims.

>>10400405
The LaceMarket team said there was an issue so that is what they are trying to solve. And no, you aren't allowed to complain if you have no idea what you are talking about. If you did, you would have some other ideas.

>>10400408
Here's your you.

>>10400422
K cool, glad you spent two days whining and ultimately had nothing to say other than "this is bad but I don't actually have any constructive comments."

>>10400259
It's just one batshit insane scammer who made what you mentioned her job for everyone who called her out. She's the latest entry in the Blacklist.

>>10400408
They won't give you free brand for whiteknighting this hard, you know. This obviously is an issue for new users and they just make it worse while ignoring other worse problems people complained about for years.
And I have a solution: Actual moderation, timely contact, udating the black list if there are actual new scammers.

>>10400444
DA, but can you clarify what groups of people do you think to be discriminated?

Honestly, I am against this new rule too, but I do because I don't think LM mods can be trusted with personal info. Plus imagine buying from BST thread here so the third party knows exact names of /cgl posters.

When you have to send all your purchases through an SS to avoid customs.

Anyone else like to save print art from the AP website?

>>10400650
cuteeee
do you have more?

>>10400499
I feel you anon.

Anons I'm so fucking mad, I think I'm done buying 2nd for a while. Update on tag-chan

>file claim against tag-chan since it was 2 weeks since last contact with no updates
>Had to wait 3 days, the 20th goes by
>Get a refund on the 23rd from ebay, no word from seller
>Tag-chan contacts me today, the 25th with tracking. Wtf
Tracking says she shipped out on the 20th, but you couldn't have bothered to let eBay or me know?

Wtf am I supposed to do here?

>>10400671
Oops meant 4 weeks with 2 weeks of no contact

>>10400671
Are you in America? She hasnt contacted me either...

>>10400671
Nothing. Their fault, imo. Glad you got your item. I would of preferred to get my item rather than a refund...

>>10399637
You need more than a ID, you need two forms of valid identification

>>10400297
That's not a prize, that's a punishment

>>10400671
Same thing happened to me with a seller on LM, still waiting for the refund( it’s been 20days), I just gave her a negative feedback but I worry if she would give me one as revenge.

>>10400676
Yup, truth be told I don't know why any country is allowing shipping to US atm, we still haven't finished our 1st wave lmao

>>10400685
If she actually did ship, then I'm getting my refund AND the item

Like, I don't know how you would fuck up this badly, assuming this isn't some elaborate scam

>>10400346
>Learn to stand up for you and your self expression.
That doesn't have anything to do with what happened. I didn't even say what I did in response which wasn't anything because it was something said in passing, so like, I wasn't really part of that discussion. There were a lot of people talking at once, and I'm not gonna cause a scene at a party because of some person who thinks they know everything about a specific subject.
I just watched those people go off and it was pretty entertaining.
Like I'm not about to be make a spectacle like that person did. I'd rather watch other people embarrass themselves.

>>10400693
Then file a dispute about the feedback
After offering to ship the item back at her cost.
Or pay her again...

>>10400344
>It’s on the same level as lor selling toy factory because she thought the bear looked like it was smoking a joint.
I keep zero tabs on lor and I don't watch her stuff or follow her on anything so I never heard of that.
But that's something I wouldn't agree with. I also don't think that pedophilia and weed aren't comparable topics.

you mean June 7th?

Lewis Carroll was never confirmed to be a pedophile or anything of the sort. Yes, he enjoyed spending time with children and took photographs of them but it wasn't in that manner. He actually spent a lot of time hanging out with women his age alone, which was a hugely scandalous thing to do at the time.
