/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

we've had plenty of room inspiration threads before, and a lot of magazines show cosplayer, lolita, and gyarus rooms

>>6781694
There is no such thing as a "gyaru room" and it has nothing to do with cosplay, lolita or j-fashion.

What a slut. And ugly feet on top of that.

>>6781694
I understand people in Japan are in small residences, but fuck this makes me want to throw out everything I own and get one of those big houses with minimalist furnishings.

>>6781694
This makes me feel claustrophobic.

My bedroom's a mess atm, so I'm washing and reorganizing a ton of stuff.

Also, if you're looking for cute things, try checking out a Daiso Japan if you have one in your area. Everything's $1.50(unless otherwise marked, but like 90% of the store is $1.50)

They actually have a lot of cute stuff for cheap. A few things for example, the magazine organizer, Alice in Wonderland photo album, and stationary set.

They also carry a lot of household stuff, and things like cute boxes(large and small) I just picked up a couple boxes to help sort fabric.

You can have fun while still being on-topic.

/cgl/ is not a teen girls magazine.

>>6781696
gyaru's room, not gyaru room. as in a room that belongs to a gyaru. i know a persons room is not directly related to fashion but we've had far less relevant threads thrive before

>>6781707
unfortunately i dont think theres a daiso anywhere in my state even. ive been considering taobao for some cute little furnishings but havent actually commited to buying anything yet

>>6781724
>Oh well, we've had worse!

This is not a valid excuse. Please stop trying to turn /cgl/ into your all-purpose women's club.

>>6781724
Yeah. From what I can tell they're pretty much strictly Japan and California. Thy started up in Norcal and have just spread like crazy recently. i follow their facebook and they seem to be opening a new shop or two every month.

Also, to make things a tiny bit more relevant, but how do people go about organizing their lolita and cosplay stuff? Sewing stuff, etc....

Maybe less cute room, and more, how do you keep your /cgl/ stuff organized?

>>6781735
I barely have any space. I have all my thread, ribbon, and misc notions in a craft organizer under my desk. My sewing machine stays in the closet when not in use, and I have one of those rubbermaid organizers in there to store fabric. My dressform is in a corner of my room when not in use, and I put whatever cosplay is hardest to store (because of petticoats or whatever) on it. Wigs get stored off of heads, in their bags, in a drawer. If this damages the style, I touch them up before I wear them again. Inefficient, but all I have space for.

As far as storage goes, Target has all kinds of these shelves and storage things that all connect and stack. i love them because you can stack them pretty much any way, so theyre pretty easy to find space for and they have those cute fabric drawers you can put in them to keep things organized

>>6781776
I've seen those around.

Also in a pinch, they sell wire organizing cubes. I use them around the warehouse at work to organizing stuff on the packing table.

AH i have a huge folder of cute rooms i've been saving since i got my laptop, i'll go ahead and dump a bunch!

>>6781716

i'll join in with the few ive saved up

>>6781813
wholy shit
my room has those exact same walls

>>6781814
>>6781694
oooh my god, these rooms seriously make me shudder, how could anyone live in such a dust trap
why are all of the japanese rooms always like
>STUUUUFFF
>STUFFFFFF
>MORE STUFFFF
>STUFF WITH GLITTER ON IIITTT
it's so claustrophobic

>>6781835
is this better? i have a variety of rooms saved, a lot of them are cluttered but not all of them are.

>>6781835
rooms like these make me feel better about my room. sometimes i feel like such a hoarder, and then i see these and feel a little bit better

>>6781841
yes, infinitely, haha
I just don't understand it, some of them are like hoarders-level but if everything was pink
wtf

>>6781694
Holy cow, this one is one step away from Hoarders

>>6781835
It reminds me of some of the collectors threads on /toy/

Those threads pretty much taught me that spacing out your items looks 1000x better then craming every figure you can on a single shelf.

>>6781848
Right? What's the point of having cute things if they get swallowed up by a sea of crap...

>>6781868
Throw in some fabric, and you've got a cosplayers room the night before a con.

do you guys have any cute/creative solutions for storing your dresses and excess clothing? outside of a closet i mean, mine is terrible cramped so some of my clothes need to be stored out in my room

>>6781875
you are the hero /cgl/ deserves

>>6781879
Storage totes underneath the bed, and the space bags/vacuum bags.

>>6781874
thanks for sharing this, its super cute!

Thank you for posting these, I'm really enjoying them

>>6781894
How avant-garde. I really love how they're bringing nature in and showcasing the antique ceiling beams.

>>6781879
A friend of mine lived in the attic of a house with a very steep roof, and she had a clothes bar that ran from one end to the other under the point. The bottoms formed kind of a cloth ceiling. Not very practical unless you live in that kind of house though.

>>6781707
Every time I go to Japan I end up buying a shitload of stuff from Daiso, sucks that there are some things that are too big to take home with me.

my room is actually a huge mess right now, but all these pictures i'm posting are making me want to clean it up and make it all cute hahaha

...so should i even keep posting pictures or

>>6781921
Please do ka-san, they're cheering me up after a pretty shitty week

This is making me wonder what charity stores are like in Japan... given that it's such a consumerist/trend sort of culture, where do the clothes go when ladies want to get rid of them / pass them on? Are there charity stores full of out-of-date that-was-so-2002 lolita?!

>>6781835

>>6781850

Japanese houses are usually pretty small, if you've seen a typical kid's room, it's already pretty squished with just a bed and a desk in the room. So if a snap came from a Japanese magazine it's likely to be kind of crammed.

Personally I like looking at the snaps for organisation ideas or ways of storing things, but I can't comprehend living in such a tiny space either.

>>6781933
lolita clothes probably end up in closetchild or just sold in auctions online.

>>6781921
ahhh okay anon!!

>>6781933
actually from what i know, charity stores aren't really a thing. i think some stores (like spank, etc) make money off of used clothing, but i know for things like furniture, electronics, appliances, they just got thrown away. like even giving someone a used item is considered rude, i think? there's a group of people who go around and will take still-working things from the trash at times when people are sleeping.
this is stuff i learned in a japanese culture and society class i took last year from my professor who lived in japan for a while, so it could be totally wrong and/or out of date so please correct me if so!

>>6781972
Wow, that's really interesting... does Japan have a trash/landfill problem?

>>6781985
i'm actually not sure, i'm sorry!

>>6781985

They do, that's why they started segregating the burnable rubbish, so they can save on landfill space.

Suddenly I hate my room and I need some kawaii shit. :|

I think she's said this is actually a corner of her home office

Butthurt anon, get your shit together. If you're going to post messy and disgusting rooms, at least use the ones of actual 4channers.

Or better yet, pictures of Ashley's house.

Ooh loving the forest ones

Thanks ka-san and others, sad anon who needed cheering up is leaving the thread now much happier

>>6782107
ahhh i'm glad you're feeling better!!

>>6782060
I don't know who this Ashley person is but I have heard about her and her ugly house before. It always kind of startles me fore a moment because I think you people are talking about me, but then I remember that my room is wide open and usually more or less spotless.
