/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Some of the first photos I am showing are from the Chantilly and Atelier Pierrot fashion show on Friday.

I really liked Chantilly's bonnets. Too bad their red bonnet couldn't match up to my Meta Swan print. :(

That's it for now. I'll post some more from the Chantilly & Atelier Pierrot fashion show and also from the Indie Lolita Fashion Show from Friday too.

I hope other will contribute to this thread.

I only have shitty cell phone photos so I also hope people will contribute.

>>6851616
Why does Atelier Pierrot always do such shit makeup? I'm pretty sure I remember another con fashion show where they did this terribad lipstick too. They made this poor girl look like the corpse of a battered housewife.

wow. the indie show was kind of... lackluster.

>>6851654
Based on what the designers were wearing, one or both of them is really into old school goth fashion -- black lipstick, lots of dark eye makeup, long black skirts.

>>6851655
How so?

>>6851608
becka chu, look at you~

>>6851745
fuck off

>>6851745
good lord, i meant it as a compliment...
let the thread die in peace then?

from the indie fashion show

atelier pierrot

>>6851796
the mua for this needs to be shot

>>6851801
the designers are the ones that wanted the black lipstick...It looked cool irl to me, dunno what your gripe is

any more photos from the tea party?

>>6851733
eh, some of the dresses featured in the flickr; the baby doll ones that aren't even sitting properly on the plus-size girl and the awful pink cupcake print one, and the makeup for AtPi. maybe it was just one of the designers featured that is kind of meh-ing it up.

>>6851623
love this dress!

Here are some photos from the fashion show.

>>6852128
Bare shoulders and no blouses? Jesus yuck.
Wait, are those Disney princess gowns?

>>6851828
it's sloppy, looks like a 12 yr old applied it

>>6852153
well the models applied it themselves so...

The model was taking her jacket off.

0.1 second later, her headdress went down her head.

So much 2nd-hand embarrassment.

I really liked this print.

My friend had a whole bunch of pictures from Acen, and this is the only good lolita one I saw.
I just wish she worked harder to get the shape of the dress right, because the coord other than that is cute. But she has such a triangle shape... And it looks like that's only because she pulled it out so it wasn't completely deflated-looking. Petticoats, people!

>>6852226
HOLY SHIT A FLOATING DRESS

Oh, right. Whoopsie.

All these frumpy-ass models, yikes. was there no screening process or what?

I bet they dont even know how to walk

>>6852240
I only brought one petticoat with me due to no space in my suitcase (since half of it was shoes for the fashion shows).
It's the malco modes 582 btw. I prefer the more a-line/triangle shape but next time I'll try to pin the top layer up and see if that's better.

>>6851828
It looks very 90s and dated - the lipstick is applied terribly
The eyeshadow seems to have fared better but its far too dark for all of the girls
Maybe it did look better irl but I can only judge by the photos

>>6852241
HHHHNG Brothers Limbourgh !

>>6852263
see >>6852170

>>6852198
This is god awful, reminds me of a rag doll dress

>>6852271
I really liked the rest of that designer's stuff, no idea what was up with this particular dress

>>6852247
Which ones are the frumpy ones to you, anon? I modeled and I wanna know if I'm one of them, but I don't want to point myself out! ;__;

>>6852128
i like the idea but the material quality and the models' overall looks just isn't there.

>>6852297
probably my favorite from the indie fashion show

>>6852281
Almost everyone - there's two or three girls that look decent, but many there's just awful angles/bad dresses/bad makeup/too old/etc. These poor girls.

>>6852300
Here's another one.

Also if people are going to put my photos onto Tumblr or Facebook, remember to source them from my Flickr. I really appreciate it so that others will know my hard work. Thanks.

>>6852311
these pictures don't do her justice, her and this outfit were so amazing

>>6852247
I think there was a free for all application for models? The only slightly bad thing with the timing of the indie show was that they had at least 50 models, who are probably lolitas and the Chantilly presentation barely had any people at all in the big booked room. My favorite pieces were the ones by Mossbadger, but that's because I like painting prints. One of the designers admitted in the Q&A that she wanted to have a marriage of retro and Lolita design in her outfits.

PS here is a link to the Chantilly fashion show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-_7qBZZg4s

>>6852329
Is that elerronyar?

>>6852352
Yes. Paradise Rose now has a lolita dress line.

>>6852308
Alright, well in that case, who are the decent ones?

The squid print in the dress glows in the dark.

>>6852308

Yes, Barbizon Anon, clearly you can tell the quality of runway modeling skills via photos taken by a non-professional photographer. The angles aren't the models' faults. But we're all on pins and needles for your expert opinion!

Doing it wrong.

This is what she wanted to kill herself over? Buying brand doesn't equal a good coordinate, clearly.

>>6852402
Yeah I only do this for fun and to post OC. I get paid in hugs, high fives, and free pizza.

>>6852402
Frumpy Model-san detected.

>>6852428
She even has those replica shoes that I'll never own because of big feet

>>6852438

Sure.

Or a designer, or a friend, or a fellow photographer, or an attendee. We'll never know!

>>6852438
someone's upset they didn't get picked to model

I'm done for now. Going to post photos of the Tea Party and cell phone pics later. Hopefully others will contribute.

Leaving you now with a photo of me of my coordinate on Friday. It was already posted in the Daily Lolita thread.

>>6852472
You should do an up-do or a wig without blunt bangs, otherwise you look quite nice!

>>6852492
I know. I don't know how to style my wig yet.

>>6852472
I like your outfit! Could you try making a different smile next time though? Your face looks like you're smelling something unpleasant.

>>6852428

Is this chunlichan? she's my favorite chicago crazy to hear stories about.

>>6852170
Actually for the most part the mostly incredibly unprofessional MUAs did it, except for the people that had to wait for the last minute and do their own makeup.

The MUAs and stylists supposedly took notes the day before the show but everyone appeared to be sharing one book and a couple of them seemed to have no idea what was going on.

None of the MUAs had disposable applicators. Everyone ended up having the same applicator used on them. Several of them were so confused as to who was supposed to have what look that it took so long for makeup and hair that one or two of the models were forced to borrow makeup from one of the designers in order to finish up in time.

>>6852553
I was only referring to the lipstick

>>6852553
Sorry, I should have specified, I meant borrow the designer's lipstick.

>>6852553

I think there is some confusion about the indie show vs. the brand shows.

Brand = paid "volunteer" make up people. They were not MUAs or hairstylists. They did the shows last year too.

Indie = models did it themselves.

>>6852553
that sucks, and is kind of gross.

>>6852533
Sometimes I have a problem with my body language. :<

>>6852539
Yes. I did meet her during ACen. She's nice. I thought her Day Dream Carnival coord was good. My only problem would be the headdress. I suffered the exact same problem when I wore Meta Swan on Sunday.

I can't believe a Japanese brand had a model wear a JSK with no blouse.

>>6852569

Sorry, they are not trained beauty industry professionals. Acen and the designers would never splurge for that.

>>6852571

I'm sure she was nice. She always is and then goes around gossiping about you. The only time she looks good is when her sister styles her. Left to her own devices, she just throws on as much brand as she can.

>>6852572
That fucking train wreck.

>>6852576
I've done some amateur modeling with amateur MUAs and stylists and have seen more professional, sanitary work done by people doing it solely to fluff their portfolios.

They should have had people apply to be MUAs and stylists like they had for models.

>>6852608

Poor models. Everyone posts the derpy-looking photos.

>>6852572
i assume they were going for an ero sort of feel, but the bonnet chucks that out the window (in my opinion) and makes it like, "sexy bo peep"

>>6852572
Atelier Pierrot is often worn without blouses even in their ads.
However that outfit looks pretty bad, mostly because it's just ugly. Their stuff can be pretty hit or miss.

>>6852640
I agree, anon.

also, I cringe to think of how that girl would feel if she saw this. She was so happy to wear it.

>>6852247
most designers were short on models and we only had 5 minutes to do practice runs of the stage per brand.

>>6852658
My designer didnt even get to do a practice run with the models, all I got was a "be sassy" right before I went on stage

>>6852658
>>6852663
My designer didn't take charge and I had to come up with how we were going to walk/where we were going to pose and make sure the other models were okay with it, and ask the designer if that was okay to do.

>>6852673
Yeah it was disorganized. I didn't even know where to go until someone texted me an hour before the show

>>6852194

lolita maternity?

>>6852356
Seriously?

Notsureifwant

I mean, even if the jsk was on another model, it's not really a good look. I can't help getting the feeling that it's just a bunch of things that are currently trending in lolita and throw into a jsk. While it's better than some of the things I've been indie designers put out, it's just not working.

Shoutout to random lolita in the exhibit hall wearing a black coordinate who took a picture with me. I had on a lavender jsk. You asked me where the swap meet was and said you asked /cgl/ where it was so maybe you're lurking here now. You could have meant the facebook group, though.

>>6852472
Is this a joke? When I first saw it I thought someone had forced their boyfriend to dress up.

>>6852241
>>6852234
>>6852311
>>6852314

HNG
WHY AREN'T THESE ON MY BODY
AHH


but no this looked to be a totally pleasant and wonderful event.
Thank you for sharing what pictures you had!

>>6852760
She's not actually selling lolita clothing. The dresses were just personal shit, and the purpose was to showcase the accessories.

>>6852315
agreed, in person this was amazing

What I want to know is why no one is sounding off about the shit tea party.

>>6852882
Yeah, what was with the not having a raffle? That was pretty b.s., and my cupcake was pretty mediocre.

>>6852766
What's wrong with guys wearing lolita? When I dress up, it feels like I'm a doll or princess.

>>6852784
Oh thanks for clarifying.

>>6852882
I have to say after hearing what happened at the AP Tea Party last year (didn't go to ACen), this tea party was probably way better.

>>6852894
Decorating cupcakes when dressed in gothic lolita somehow doesn't click.

>>6852882
I was hoping for more Q&A but I enjoyed the food and talking one on one with the designers. They came off as very sincere. Eichi is forever my girl crush. Everyone at my table was cool. No raffles but they had simple gifts for all of us.

>>6852243
This one is a true Hoverlita.

>>6852241
I think this is the only dress I somewhat like. Even then, it's really... Meh. Like wow. These shows overall were really blah.

>>6852428
It hurts me to see such bad coords with such pretty prints. It just makes me think. I could do that print so much more justice. So. Much. More. Yeah, I jelly.

Sage bc not relevant

>>6852882
It was extreamly unstructured compared to the AP one last year. AP had a clear schedule which they said at the beginning. I was slightly unhappy with this because it didn't give me a chance to really look at everyone's outfits/talk to all the guests and attendees. Also disappointed with the lack of raffle though the gifts we did get were pretty neat! I was very glad to meet Fumiko ans she said my outfit was cute so I'm also glad with that!

>>6852472
oh man, I was wondering if this was you. I'm the one who posted your coordinate in the DL thread.
if I ever meet you in person you definitely have some hi fives and free pizza coming your way.
y-you are not just king of lolita, you are king of my hearto.

>>6852336
>>6852241
who did these dresses plus the painting dresses and please say i can buy

>>6852646
who designed this?

>>6852949
One day, we shall~

I'm about ready to post some Tea Party pics and stuff from my iPhone shortly.

>>6852901
Nothing is wrong with it at all, it just looks like you don't want to be wearing it and like someone forced you to wear it. It looks a bit sloppy.

Here come the photos from the Tea Party.

>>6853012
Rats forgot to mention, that I liked her crown purse.

When I looked at that photo of >>6853023 , it looks like a ghost lolita.

This was our table. I'm on the left wearing my Sunday coordinates.

uhhh is it just me or does kinki kitti/helena keep getting worse?

>>6852981
chantilly

This was the food served at the Tea Party. Chantilly gave us post cards and fresh scents. Atelier Pierrot gave us blank book. I was expecting the pages would be full of past prints they released.

>>6852978
mossbadger

she has a fb page.

Hrm. You didn't get photos of some of the pretty coordinates at the Tea Party, which is a shame. Mostly because while you did post a few of the better ones, the overall styling sense of Chicago seems pretty weak right now.

>>6853001
Sorry, I was the anon who took the bad picture! We were waiting in line for the indie fashion show. It was awkward in the hands of a person that doesn't know how to use nice cameras.

Ok the last few are from my phone.

I caught her at a bad time, but I liked her Dreamy Chandelier dress.

>>6853066
Did you just snap the picture when she wasn't looking?

>>6853062
It's ok. I haven't found any other pictures of me in my King of Lolita print that I've been tagged yet on the internet. :<

My friend from my local comm was wearing Grazia Crown which is one of my favorite prints. Sorry for the bad lighting.

>>6853069
We ended up talking before and I asked. This was during the seagull meetup on Saturday.

Here's Moon Night Theatre print from AP. This one and the previous one were from the Swap Meet on Friday.

Well that's it from me. Last photo is from the Chantilly and Atelier Pierrot fashion show. This photo has proven to be one the most popular from my set.

Don't know which con I'm going to next. Until next time!

>>6853027
This dress is so gorgeous. Is it Chantilly?

>>6853091
I believe it's from Juliette et Justine

>>6853091
no, juliet et justine.

>>6853096
>>6853097
Thanks, I saw it once and I couldn't remember at all. I love the sleeves.

>>6853032
I think it's getting way better. Not so much joann fabric shit, tons of awesome gothic/steampunk esque ruffle shit.

>>6853032
Looks like she gained all her weight back and then some, the shitty haircut doesn't help either

>>6853158
What diet was she on? It is one I do not want to be on then.

>>6852409
I'm sure Miyazaki-lolita isn't a new idea but damn if I don't get excited every time I see some of that.

>>6853066

She was in her booth Catscratchcute all day. She is super sweet and all of her coords are always fantastic.

I was one of the models in the Indie fashion show and it was so unorganized and awful honestly. Of course we didn't get to pick what to wear, but my dress was so unflattering. We had no time to rehearse and they basically said "just go on stage and do whatever" so uh... we did. I'm not proud of the photos from this thing.

>>6853057
There are 1-2 lolitas from Chicago that do classic or goth well, but they didn't attend the tea party. Chicago's style is rough.

My designer didn't give us much instructions or anything, but she was freaking out because she got put in charge of the music and her boyfriend had her laptop and couldn't find him. At first I was annoyed that it was so disorganized but she was so distressed she burst into tears and so I felt more bad for her than annoyed. It was still better than last year. There was a real stage and backstage instead of a tiny panel room and hiding the models in the fire exit.

The indie show really only had an hour and a half to rehearse, and a ton of people showed up late and still had to get ready.

The brand shows had all morning to get their shit together, plus a rehearsal the night before and it was still meh.

There was still a ton of disorganization for the indies show, but for what it was I think it went okay. It's not like they could have gone out and hired professional models, makeup artists, and choreographers.

Models with complaints - you should really be naming names. People can't get better if they don't know what the problems were.

>>6853568
I'm curious about what you mean by Chicago's style is rough.

>>6853600
Damn, that's just sad. I wish I could have run the event for my independent studies (management), but even if I couldn't, I wish I were around to help. I know sound designers and stage managers, and I actually enjoy delegating and seeing shit get done.

>>6853687
Name names privately on Facebook or email so this doesn't turn into a drama-filled anonymous shitstorm.

>>6853702
they have a thread on acen forums too so it goes directly to the designers and organizers.

http://www.acen.org/forums/index.php/topic/44782-lolita-fashion-show-independent-designers-showcase/

>>6852346
I really like this!

>>6852335
Scheduling was Acen's fault, not the show organizers. I was in the indie show and also went to the Chantilly show - and they had a lot of the same models, so I don't think the lack of audience for the brand shows was related to the indie show.

>>6852472
hey, can I just say you looked amazing in Swan Lake? I'm horribly jelly. thanks for hanging out with me and my boyfriend at the Let's Kill Krampus demo game, you're p cool.

>>6852539
She suggested once that I get a leg avenue petticoat, trying to be nice or whatever (the one I was wearing that day was handmade and not huge enough, but it wasn't like a fancy event or anything.) Since she's been in the comm longer than I have, and also I wanted to be polite, I didn't laugh in her face.
That is my only crazy chunlichan story.
Sage for sorta OT.

>>6853153
Agreed. She's been drifting away from lolita anyway and focusing more on Victorian Goth and steampunk looks.

>>6853855

She probably pretended to be nice while she wanted you to look bad, since she hates when people look better than her. If that coord says anything about her skills, a majority of the comm looks better than her.

>>6853893
>If that coord says anything about her skills, a majority of the comm looks better than her
And THAT is really saying something!

>>6853893
WELL she was a bit condescending, but I don't know. I kind of expected that being the new kid and all, so I shrugged it off, cause it's no big deal really.
I just thought the leg avenue petticoat thing was funny because I thought it was common knowledge that they're shit.

>>6853934
They're okay if you're 1) short, and 2) willing to modify/layer them to get the shape/poof you need each time.

>>6853934
maybe she just meant to layer them? that's common advice, layering leg avenue pettis. I think you're overthinking it much, but then again I think chunlichan is a sweetheart every time we've met.

Did anyone get photos of the girls twinning Milky Planet on Sunday? I saw them but couldn't catch them for a photo.

>>6853939
I'm really not short. I'm like... average.
Ah well.
I sewed up one for myself out of tulle just recently, but it's so poofy it feels awkward to wear.
sage again for being off topic again.

Can we get some photos of good coords from the con? I saw some girls walking around, but I didn't stop to ask them for pictures.

>>6852428
Isn't this the girl that got mad because Choke told her she looked bad?

>>6854044

lol i forgot about that! she thinks she's on choke's level and was mad that others don't think she's as pretty as her.

>>6852428
you seem to not realize I don't care what you think. I had fun wearing it so, yeah. I think cons are a great time to try out coords that might not otherwise work, since no one can really tell with all of the cosplay/Milanoo garbage there.
>>6853855
yeah I said that because you were new and it was a cheap alternative to wearing nothing. I recall telling you it was a good space holder to layer before you get another. Sure is 'crazy' to try to help you out, huh?

>>6853955
Thanks anon, that's sweet of you.

>>6852585
yeah...okay sure. I don't gossip but whatever. And yeah I totally admit I can't do makeup for shit. My sister really is the best at it.

>>6854123
yeah no. That was about 1.5 years ago. Funny how you keep on bringing it up.
>>6852571
I really enjoyed meeting you as well. My sister and I thought you looked lovely

Sage cause this is all bullshit. I'm only responding b/c I want to thank Funkbrothers for posting his photos.
Also, I was the one twinning in MP but I haven't a photo to post.

>>6854156
Don't gossip? HAHAHAHAhahaaa

>>6853822
Yes, thanks for letting me hang out playing Bang in the gameroom too.

>>6854167

mte. keeping so many lies straight must be clouding her memory.

>>6854156

I do think you care. You spent the time responding. Protip: cgl notices and will judge you. Get better wigs and start dressing in a way that flatters you. You're not a thin, fresh-faced 18-year-old Japanese girl who can wear sweet any way she wants. Admit that you buy things in order to be envied and move on. You bring the criticism upon yourself by acting like a loon.

>>6854156

lol you keep bringing it up. when can we see you in vogue, chunlimodelchan?

>>6854249
example of delicious modeling

>>6854280
choke will be jealous now

>>6854280
>>6854344
Well, you guys seem like pleasant people. Didn't she say she didn't want to bring this shit up? Back off the kid already, geez. If you think she's dumb, let her be dumb. No need to be so vicious.

Sage because whiteknighting even though I don't really know what's going on here. Seriously, right now it only seems like somebody mentioned her name and you guys all jumped. She came to defend herself and you guys jumped again.

Couldn't you possibly go about calling her out on her shit in a nicer way?

>>6854409
Sure, Mom.

>>6854423
Just because it's the internet doesn't mean you have to be an asshole.

>>6854409
She deserves it if she ever thought >>6854280 was sexy. I don't even know this girl but that photo is pretty rank.

>>6854439
No, it doesn't. Correlation does not imply causation, obviously. It's just fun to be an asshole to people who are drama whores. We are giving her the attention she craves. It's practically a good deed.

>>6854452
I'm not going to lie, that photo is unflattering as all hell.

Still, it's so mean. And if you're not against the problem, you're the cause of it, ya know?

>>6854468
Well there's some faulty logic for ya!

>>6854468
i'm pretty sure a crotch shot is the problem here. are you against crotch shots or did you cause it?

>>6854280
This girl put my friend through hell during DDC and caused drama all through Chicago. Karma's a bitch!

>>6854785
What did she do?

>>6854156
>I don't gossip but whatever
I spit out my tea.

>>6854792
Sent her threatening text messages because my friend got DDC and she didn't, then spread rumors about her to try to ruin her reputation in retaliation. She even tried it with me. I could go into more detail but I will spare my friend's privacy. How ironic that she is incapable of coordinating the dress she ruined several friendships over.

>>6854792

Different anon, but I think she threatened to kill herself because she didn't get DDC at first, and then tried to say her BFF purposely didn't tell her when it was released. It got crazier from there. Then she went around telling people these stupid lies about how her BFF and other friends were bullying her. She was trying to get sympathy from anyone who would listen.

Let me reiterate: she didn't want to live anymore if she didn't get DDC. Now she acts like the incident never even happened. I hope the coord above was worth losing her best friend over.

>>6854834
>>6854830

Yup, third anon confirming. This is the story I heard from a few sources who weren't even directly involved.

>>6854792

FYI to the uninformed in Chicago, she's been double-talking nearly everyone. Don't tell her a damn thing unless you want it spread to the rest of the community. Also, she totally posts photos of community members on here and acts like she has no idea why anyone would do that.

It's been put together that she has most-likely been behind a huge chunk of the Chicago drama. If she came to you with a story or saying that someone told her a rumor, she was the one who created it. Desperate and attention-seeking behavior is what she does best.

>>6854843
Isn't she still a mod for the facebook group though?
Because that's a shitty attitude for someone to have and be partially in charge of such a large group.

>>6854834
fourth anon confirming. I fell for her story like an idiot.

>>6854857

I am not totally sure what the case is, but I asked one of the mods because I was concerned when the drama started, and they were hoping that solid proof would come up rather than word-of-mouth stories. She is really unstable and would cause a huge shit storm if they tried to de-mod her because she went around to everyone crying that they were bullying her.

Can we become back on-topic? I want more ACen lolita/J-Fash pictures...

(WAS there anyone wearing other J-Fashions? I didn't see anyone. D: )

>>6854901
There was a mori girl on Friday

So with all this drama about this girl, either what "everyone" here is saying is true, or this another one of those instances where she rubbed the wrong person wrong and now they are samefagging and acting like their side is the right side and playing the victim even though they are now the bully.

I mean really, we see this shit time and time again on cgl. Ether hop on gtfo egl or BtB and start saying what happened with your screen names so we can see its more than one or two people, or shut up. There is no proof in either direction and I hate seeing someone getting slandered needlessly.

>>6854947
your opinion is invalid because you're anonymous

>>6852240
That Ahri behind her.
Please no.

>>6854830
Pics or it didn't happen.

chunlichan can be melodramatic but I've never seen her shit-talk people, only seen people bitch at and about her.

>>6854975
This. 4chan isn't your personal vendetta army. Why should I believe your side?

>>6854989
Because I heard she bought 100 dicks off eBay and sucked them all!

>>6854947
This. She's been nothing but sweet both online and off, and shes never shit talked anybody those times, just gave me some solid advice about building a wardrobe. Why so hungry for drama?

>>6854975

Kill yourself.

>>6855014

Because clearly your limited experience with her indicates the norm.

Unless this is chunlichan samefagging.

>>6855462
You have been harassing this poor girl for months on here. Let it go. We get it, you don't like her, but really, you sound like the cunt in this situation.

>>6855536
I don't know if you saw up the thread where anon said that she threatened and then attempted to ruin the reputation of anon's friend because they got DDC when she didn't.

>>6855536
Cunts. Plural. And harassing is a strong term to use.

>>6855536
Damn, I hope if I'm ever an asshole and try to ruin my best friend's life that people on CGL pity me. Congrats, chunlichan, you've perfected your victim act.

>>6855566
Where's the proof? This is all the word of some anon who brings this up every chance she gets. You fall too easily for someone's vendetta.

>>6855598
So you want screen caps of the Facebook conversations and text messages?

I'm guessing that you're "friends" with her, and she probably went crying to whomever she is pretending to be close with at the moment, so you feel like you need to defend her. If that's the case, good luck with that relationship!

If not that, then you're the one hungry for drama, since you seem to think this has been coming up every possible chance for months. You're either paying way too much attention to it, or not enough. I haven't decided.

>>6855598
I don't have screencaps or anything like that but I do remember there being some hubbub about it on btb.

Either way, if her reply in this thread is anything to go by she doesn't seem so pleasant. I've seen several girls who have had vendetta anions against them or have received criticism from here and they've all replied politely and with good character. This girl just grates me.

>>6854834
Fuck. I thought I was going nuts over that damn release. Good God.

And that is a pretty terrible coord. Hello the 90's are calling. They want their camisole worn over the baby-tee back. (except it's a blouse??)

>>6855598
>>6855536
Hi Chunlichan!

>>6855622
Oh snap! LOL

Makes sense, really, since she's in her 30s.

>>6855641
Holy crap she's in her 30s?
I mean I somehow knew she was older than me, but dayum... maybe it's time to stop behaving like a middle schooler...?

>>6855605
Oh look still no screen caps of proof that she threatened anyone.

Does this mean there are no more fashion show pictures? Did a video of the Atelier Pierrot show ever go up?

>>6855708
No, I guess others didn't want to post photos from the fashion show itt. I only posted a select few on here. The rest are on my Flickr set.

>>6855736

People want to avoid having photos of themselves posted on CGL.

>>6855641
I'm in my 30's too, and I remember wearing stuff like that in high school. It was all the rage back in the day. Now I'm all reminiscing about roller skating, hanging around the mall for hours, and listening to No Doubt and the Cranberries~

But why...why...why would you wear it over a blouse. Especially that one. It would get all lumpy!

>>6855708
Nobody wants to be her next target by outing themselves as the other half of a screencapped conversation. She already jumped the gun and made accusations last night that the friend of hers who took that photo was her "vendettachan."

>>6855740
basically - i have a lot of photos but i'd feel bad self posting/posting people i know

>>6855774
Exactly.

>>6855774
>>6855878

So why can't they block out their screen name, userpic, and sensitive info? If it's a PM, the only way they'll be outed is if the other half (presumably Chunlichan) posts their screencaps of the same conversation. And if she did that, she'd out herself as having had the conversation, just further proving it.

>>6855892
I mean that she will know who is posting caps because she will recognize the conversation. And most of us prefer to try to keep the peace.

>>6855899
If she already destroyed her friendship with that person, how will that matter?

>>6855927
The Chicago community has banned posting personal information and caps on cgl. Chunlichan is a mod and would be able to ban them immediately.

>>6855944

I missed the Chicago drama meltdown that happened a while ago. Can anyone fill me in on what happened?

>>6855951
Which one? There have been several. Usually involving the same people.

>>6855708
>>6855774
>>6855892
I think a big reason is that regardless of how right we really are that all of this happened, none of us want her to have us in her sights as her next target. She'll know who we are if we post caps, and then our lives will be hell. Why open that karmageddon on ourselves when we can all just peacefully ignore her when we can, like always? Proving it to cgl isn't going to make things ANY easier, so you can believe what you want, but for about TWO WEEKS after DDC our lives were absolute hell because of her.

>>6855959

I think it was when a secret appeared on BtB about Chicago lolitas. I remember there was a huge thread that got deleted.

>>6852180
The exact same face on every picture. I'm starting to laugh.

>>6855944
Good point.

So what has she even done to anybody? There's supposedly some message about a threat, but what did she threat? Did she act? Did the person give in? If nothing happened, why is this shit still going on? And why did the person with the message feel the need to bring cgl in to it? I have quarrels with my friends too, but I do t feel the need to rage in here and slander the person about it. Did she kill your cat? Because that's all I can think of that deserves this. If if you were the victim to begin with, you are now the bully. Didn't know putting on a weird dress meant you could disregard common decency.

>>6856231
You probably mean well, but come across as an ignorant white knight.

>>6855960
>our lives were absolute hell because of her

couldn't you have just, you know, peacefully ignored her like you said above? you don't need to let someone make your life hell if they're upset for whatever reason. everyone's losing their shit like chunlichan ate their first born or something. she flipped out and it was a dumb reason to flip out but it's not like she's manuel noriega. jesus.

>>6854935
I saw her too, she was adorable. I didn't see anyone in fairy kei or cult party or dolly kei sadly.

>>6853030
that girl on the lower right is so nice. I feel bad for her because people treat her badly because her coords aren't amazing and she's plus sized but she's actually pretty shy and super sweet.

and I love how Funk Brothers is the only one wearing full sweet. I wish I could have gone to the tea party in one of AtPi's older pink skirts.

how was the food by the way?? sandwiches and stuff?

>>6856285
I haven't posted in this thread yet, but personally she wouldn't stop texting me or facebook chatting me for 2-3 days. Even after I stopped responding. She sent me about 25-30 messages. First it was complaining about her "best friends" because they got the dress and she didn't and this somehow made them horrible, then it was complaining that they wouldn't talk to her anymore or accept her apologies. It sounded to me like her apologies were borderline harassment, like if she just kept texting that she was sorry than they should accept that and forgive her. Given how many messages I got, as someone who was not particularly close friends with her and who was not involved in any of the initial "drama" I can just imagine how many messages she was sending the people who actually were involved.

>>6856306
>that girl on the lower right is so nice. I feel bad for her because people treat her badly because her coords aren't amazing and she's plus sized but she's actually pretty shy and super sweet.

Yes, she was sweet. I liked her clock print skirt.

> I wish I could have gone to the tea party in one of AtPi's older pink skirts.

You should have bought something at the Chantilly/Atelier Pierrot booth and bought a ticket to the Tea Party. You missed out on the fun! My only complaint about my coord is that I needed a dark red bolero and a stronger headdress which I mentioned in a previous post.

>how was the food by the way?? sandwiches and stuff?

The sandwiches were good. One was a berry sandwich with raspberries, another was a cucumber sandwich, and the last one was with roast beef with a mild spread. The cookies at our table were not spectacular compared to the others. I think one table got chocolate chip cookies. So many varieties of tea.

>>6855740
True and it's understandable.

>>6856324
Shit, that's so horrible about how she was trying to apologize to people and expressed frustration with others.

>>6856396
Entitlement is the problem. Entitlement to have DDC, entitlement to act like a psycho bitch without consequences, entitlement to be forgiven no matter what, entitlement to spread rumors to punish her "friends", entitlement to harass them and other people guilt-free. I heard from several people that Chunlichan was gossiping to them. I am new, too.

>>6856324
Thank you for commenting. I think the most disgusting thing was how she contacted people she doesn't even know very well just to complain about a dress release. Contacted is being used lightly, as she obviously over-stayed her welcome on your chat feed.

And also, it should be noted that her friends told her that they wouldn't talk to her until she grew up and stopped making suicide threats. Anyone who has had friends make threats against their lives knows how painful that is. And all over trying to seek attention? *tsk tsk*

>>6856287

I saw another girl in fairy-kei but didn't get a picture, sadly. I wore shitty fairy-kei on Saturday because I was too grumpy to do my normal coord, haha.

>>6856394
You really have low standards if you think the food was good.

>>6853030
You have one of the most unfortunate faces Ive ever seen

>>6856670
i said good, but not excellent

>>6856689
yeah i know ;_;

>>6856689
He looks like he'd be a hot man, but doesn't make a very pretty girl.

>>6856394
Yeah, I really should have bought something, that pink jsk with the gold print was calling my name, but it was either spend money on Chantilly or get the Milky Planet rerelease and I picked Milky Planet. ;_; I wouldn't have been able to eat anything at the tea party either because gluten damages my intestines. Sounds like it was pretty fun though!

>>6855780
I want to see more lolitas at ACEN that I missed out on and more fashion show pics.

>>6857321
Laura looks so fierce

>>6857332
bcuz she is (◡‿◡✿)

>>6857332
She looked amazing! One of the people the black lipstick actually suited.

>>6857756
yeah...no.

One of the group photos from the tea party.

>>6857761
Oh, you saw it IRL too? Or are you basing your judgment on some washed-out photos?

>>6857756
DON'T TEMPT ME I HAVE BEEN A CLOSETED MALL GOTH FOR 12 YEARS

>>6857332
>>6857340
stahp everyone will think i am samefagging //////

Are there better pictures of this adorable IW coord somewhere because yes

>>6858066
holy St Patrick's Day (cute, though)

>>6858059
People please stop wearing those sandals with lolita it's not working.

>>6857765

Nothing against these girls, but I fucking hate being in these types of pictures because I'm so tall I'm ALWAYS in the back and you see everyone else's outfit and my face barely peeking over someone's shoulder with a smile-grimace because I'm standing on my fucking toes.

>>6858176
These kinds of photos always suck. They need to do it with small enough groups to stand in one row.

The second row from the back had to awkwardly squat the whole time. It was stupid.

Was it just me or did anyone else want to slap this guy for not bothering to learn how to pronounce Atelier Pierrot?

>>6856670
So, seeing how I never got to go to these brand tea parties, including this one, what did you think about the food?

Mind you that it's sponsored by the Hyatt...

>>6858380
I want to slap him just because of what he's wearing in that photo

>>6858380
Its not news that this guy is the shittiest MC ever. You should have heard him try to pronounce Rinrin's name last year.

>>6858380
Oh yeah that was bullshit. Before you go on stage you simply read though what you're going to say once and ask about anything you don't know. It was fucking disrespectful and I'm sure he thought he was being cute.

here are some photos of me since I don't want to post others without their permission.
This is what I wore on Sunday all day and to the tea party and it's probably my best outfit to date. The only thing I would fix is get a rhapsody-styled wig instead of the bob. My face is too round no matter what weight I'm at to really look good in bobs. Might also get a black petticoat.
In this outfit I'm wearing Colleen jsk by Atelier Pierrot, specifically bought for the tea party, with an offbrand chiffon coat over it. It's actually an old coat that I had that I never wore because it's a size small and I've always been a size medium until recently. The AtPi dress is also a bit short on me in the bodice so I added a waist-cinching belt under the coat to give it a more defined waist.
Accessories are from various offbrand sources, but the most noteworthy ones are the crown and socks. They're from Paradise Rose and Chantilly, respectively.
Btw if you ever go to Paradise Rose's booth at cons and see a crown you like, but would like to add spikes like mine has, just ask Lina to add them for you. She'll sometimes add them for a small fee for you and can have it ready as early as the next day of the con.

Sunday's tea party had a really good photographer. This is one of my favorites from the tea party that she took because it hides my round face lol.
Here I was talking to a girl about her awesome hat. She thrifted the hat and decorated it! I effing loved it.

>>6859291
You look lovely

Although I don't particularly like how plain the style of the wig is with a dress like that

Here's what I wore for the Chantilly fashion show. Apparently this skirt is a special debut at Acen, as Chantilly has never offered skirts of her prints till now! The belt is actually detachable so you could wear it with something else if you wanted to.
I EFFING loved the bonnet I got to wear! I would've bought it and worn it for my coord on Sunday for the tea party...if only money wasn't an issue! Her bonnets are super awesome!
Oh and Fumiko said I looked like one of the Kokusyoku Sumire girls on Sunday because of my bob haha.

>>6859300
Thanks anon! I know a "bigger" wig would've been better but the bob was all I had that fits the coord :c Rest assured that I'm in the hunt for a more fitting wig haha.
Another shot of myself on the actual walkway. Fumiko told me to be more "cutsy" and I was like "O ok!" but I don't really know how to be cutsy, as evident by the shot haha. IMO my coord was more gothic than cute so I felt really conflicted lol.
Part of me wanted to be part of the AtPi show instead but I'm just happy that I got to model for burando!

Here's the outfit I wore for the Indies Fashion Show. I've worn this outfit before so not much to say. Very typical classic outfit.

I like to secretly call the dress the Targaryean. No it does not have 3 headed dragons on it, but close enough. Thinking of commissioning Mossbadger for a Greyjoy themed dress when I have the funds.

Last photo: myself pulling a Nixon/Tony Stark before I exited the stage. I wanted to make the show a bit more relaxed lol. Got a few chuckles from the audience.
k that's it from me for now!

come on H... anon...
Clearly a Lannister Cord would be far superior
Though any GoT Dress...

>>6852207
this girl has the most gorgeous hair.

>>6859619
I'm glad you think so! Thanks for the compliment. It tends to get a little frizzy sometimes though. 0_0

>>6859627
my hair is currently ass length and i've been kind of on the fence about whether i should cut it a bit or not, but after seeing how nice you looked this weekend, i think i'm just going to keep growing it out for awhile.

>>6859627
you're welcome. my hair is currently ass length and i've been kind of on the fence about whether i should cut it a bit or not, but after seeing how nice you looked this weekend, i think i'm just going to keep growing it out for awhile.

sharing applicators/makeup brushes? fuck no. I dont want the herpes

>>6859642
It will be neat to see it, if I meet you in the future, anon!

>>6859331
Yea you're probably right, but I love the Greyjoy's sigil and motto lol.
>Kraken
>"We do not sow"
WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?!

>>6859331

That feel where I'm currently putting together a Cersei Lannister coord.

>>6859292
>>6859291
I fucking love your coords, your wig, and your face.

>>6859302
I hope the special order skirts come with that belt/waist cincher thing because when I tried one on, it did not. It really pulls the whole thing together.

>>6858059
Girl on the right was one of my favorites the whole con. Always had something awesome on every time I saw her.

>>6859302
>>6853088
>>6853012
>>6851636
all looked better than I've seen before (not that you were all bad before, but good job!)

>>6860240
Yea I thought the skirts would come with the belt too but I don't think it does, which is kinda silly. The belts are obviously made for the skirts so it's silly not to include them...But o well, whatta I know??
Also thank you for the compliments :)
>>6860241
Thanks!

>>6860286
You're welcome. :3c

One of the girls from Harajuku Hearts -- not Ellejay -- suggested a corset with the skirt. I have no idea how to make it work but I'm going to give it a shot since I impulse ordered a set.

bump

>>6853012
Does anyone know what brand she's wearing? I really like the look of this dress

>>6859291
Gorgeous, I love that chiffon coat and your outfit has such a great shape to it

>>6866453
Mossbadger.

>>6866555
Thank you

Does Anime Midwest have as many Lolitas attending as Acen does?

>>6868430
There are less lolitas at Midwest compared to ACen. However, they mentioned that several of the indie designers will be having their own panel at Anime Midwest.

any more pictures?

also intrested in more pictures

>>6870736

I doubt anyone is going to self-post, and only assholes post their friends to CGL.

>>6852472
love it. you look so elegant!

>>6858380
he looks like a fucking douchebag. this was their announcer?! they couldn't reach out to any of the chicago lolis or a friend in con ops to do it?

>>6871613
I get the impression he is some higher-ranking con staff douche nozzle.

>>6872425
He was actually super nice at the tea party - was acting as a butler but was good about addressing a problem my table had with the tea service. After that experience I kinda forgave him for the terrible pronunciation though he really should have asked how to say the names.
