/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I kind of want it. I can see that selling to more of the pastel goth crowd, though.

So much second hand embarrassment.

This is pretty awesome.
You know Deerstalker does all of the sarcastic lolita videos right?
You're not supposed to take this necklace seriously.

It's just so unclassy. Can you imagine like, a cute sweet lolita coord, and they're wearing a necklace that says "brandwhore"? It'd throw the whole thing off. Not to mention, to normal people, it might look like advertisement.

>>6947521
Just because something isn't supposed to be serious does mean that it's good.
Also, their videos are cringey as fuck.

It's meant to be a joke. You lolis have absolutely no sense of humor.

>>6947536
But it's not even funny. It's just embarrassing.

The whole thing comes off as tryhard and ~omg so edgy desu~ Their videos did the same thing. Also, they need to learn how to properly utilize recording equipment.

I'd buy it. I was considering getting the rings, but the necklace is kinda cool. Haters gonna hate.

>>6947547
the rings are horrible, unless you are going with the hip-hop kind of vibe MC Melody is doing then you will look like a retard try-hard. The jewelry is a cool idea, just... something that does not look good on anyone irl. Or tell me, how are you planning to wear them?

>>inb4 whatever
I like Deerstalker video because it is not supposed to be taken seriously.

this is so amazing, i want it.

I think it'd be best worn with an outfit that's entirely Bodyline and/or offbrand

How do you get those kinds of necklaces made? I like the idea just not with "brandwhore".

>>6947920

an outfit entirely of replicas

>>6947922

they're laser cut acrylic

>>6947924
Ironic Lolita. New subcategory.

if it said burandowhore i would want it

>>6947931
Let me know how serious you are about this because I can make it happen. Though that pink plastic would have to be special ordered.

>>6947944
im pretty darn serious here.

Fuck you guys get butthurt over anything that remotely strays from your little lolita fantasies and rules.

It's a fucking necklace, and quite frankly it's funny in it's context. People out of the lolita community/circle don't even know what the fuck lolita is, so why get uppity about a necklace that's a satirical in joke?

You take your fashion too seriously.

>>6947952
I'm not even a lolita and I want this. I think it works for gyaru and other fashions where brands are a big thing.

>>6947946
I can order the plastic and make hte vecotr, but can't actually cut it until Auguest. I'm across the country away from my laser cutter. I can add hearts at the end or something too. Anything that can be vectored in corel, flash or illustrator can be done.

>>6947955
>I think it works for gyaru and other fashions
Honestly? I think it works better for gyaru, because I personally can't see it in a lolita outfit.

>>6947955
Definitely, it's satirical and funny and the whole point of it is to laugh about it. I'm a massive brand whore myself but I don't see the term as an insult unlike a huge chunk of lolitas do.

>>6947957
August, just in time for my b-day then. :)

lol xelyna is so fucking embarrassing I can't even

>wears a necklace labeling themselves whores
>get mad when strangers and men call them whores
>"b-but it was just sarcasm... ;___;
I can see it happening now. Any self-labeled feminists buying it? What was that about objectifying women again?
>laughingcunts.jpg

>>6948007
it's "brandwhores" which is slang for being picky about brands, or designer-obsessed, etc. the term "brandwhore" or "labelwhore" is completely separate from "whore" and "slut"

/r9k/ is a few boards over, retard

Bahaha! Please tell me this is available somewhere! I think I need it in my life XD

>>6947931
Or maybe if it were whatever itbis in Japanese?

>>6947944
Another serious buyer!

>>6948118

ブランド ホーア

or

ブランド 娼婦

>>6947944
I'd go for burandowhore too, but not in pink.

Ooh, what if it came in spiky gothic font.

>>6948054
>because normalfags and strangers know what 'brandwhore' really means
and nah, they'll think you just whore yourselves for brand. Tata~<3

>>6948277
>>6948007
YOU WOT M8??

>>6948184
>>6948118
>>6947931
it doesn't work in pure Japanese. nobody will get it.

I think 'burandowhore' is the best formulation. just the right amount of whateveritis.

>>6947536
Just like MEMES LOL are meant to be a joke. Yeah. Shits immsture and tacky and cringeworthy.

>>6948277
Mainstream fashion lovers may get it too tought

At least where I live, being a brandwhore just means someone who is obsessed with brand names (not necessarily lolita, obv). A google search yields the same thing, so I think most people who see it are going to get the general gist and not be like OMG LOL U ARE PROSTITUTE????

>>6947957


can I just say that I love that you listed corel?

anyways I think it's funny. I'm considering getting one and being like stupidly ironic hipster brandwhore bitch with it to be funny because like... I've got a brandwhore's wardrobe but I'm totally not gonna hate on peopke wearing indie or offbrand or whatevrt because fluffy people are all wonderful and lovely.

then again, I've also crossed past brandwhore being an insult. like if someone talks about these mythical bitchy brand whores my only real response is to laugh and explain that bitchy people are bitchy no matter what. so yeah. I'd wear the ironic shit out of that like I do with my Helvetica one.

I started this as potential necklace sayings and it evolved into pick up lines:

Oh My Mana!
NO BURUNDO, NO LIFE

Baby, baby, baby the stars shine bright ohhhhhhh

Damn gurl where youse from? Cuz youse Angelic Pretty!

>>6950773
this made me cringe

>>6947547
I have the bling yen necklace and I love it, plus it gets a ton of compliments (especially from people who don't know lolita at all). I've been thinking about the matching brandwhore rings but I find those kind of multi-knuckle rings hard to wear, and they're a bit too pricey for something I won't use a lot.

>>6947528
this so hard.
their humor videos are okay, but tbh even lovelylor is funnier than them. not to mention the tacky as fuck fashion videos they make.

>>6947952
Shut up

>>6948007
Calling yourself a whore is hardly anti-feminist or objetification (if you are a feminist yourself and your objective is to face your opressor who objectifies you). Reffer to slutwalks and girls showing tits in them.

Sage because I'm being stupid for replying to obvious /r9k/ but can't help but post this.

>>6951529
Definitely seconding this (even though the anon you're responding to isn't quite getting the meaning of brandwhore). It's just repossessing a term used to shame and redefining it or it's connotations.

>>6951557
>It's just repossessing a term used to shame and redefining it or it's connotations.
But this is wrong you idiot.

We shouldn't be trying to repossess or redefine anything, we should be trying to get rid of it entirely. Tons of words that people tried using the same logic for in the past still are used in derogatory ways. It doesn't help anything.

>>6951591
Or, hear me out, care more about issues that really matter. You sound like those parents of mental challenged kids who waste time picketing movie theaters because some movie they're playing used the word "retard."

Go watch Vagina Monologues you cunt.

>>6947463
the problem with this kind of things is that is autoreferential, obviously they do it relying in the video and the efamous status of xelyna and the au community, and is the tacky part; when they try to make an internal joke massive and sell it.

>>6951591
The thing is, they are not derrogatory in nature. Being a whore or a slut is only considered an insult because society shames and hates on sexually active women, therefore a word that calls you sexual is derrogatory. Getting rid of them would only leave us with no words to describe these people.

We should also start applying slut and whore to men who are promiscuous/have lots of sex.

>>6950773
you need a second hobby

>>6951612
>We should also start applying slut and whore to men who are promiscuous/have lots of sex.


I think some people do that. We just call them manwhores.

I met xelyna at a picnic once and she was actually the loudest, most embarrassing lolita ever.

>>6952134
You should get on her friends list and read her psychotic rants about Japan and how she thought every vk bandman was in love with her.

>>6952172
Care to CP some?
Hasn't she been back from Japan for at least 5 years now?

>>6948737
They would. I've heard that term outside of the lolita community. It's not something that's unique or original to lolita.

Personally I think it'd work great with pastel goth - or really just anything that has pastel in the colour palette and isn't super serious or cutesy.

What's ironic is that the necklace isn't brand- so why would I buy it if I were a brandwhore?

>>6952210
Congratulations. You found the whole point of the joke.
