Can we take a moment to acknowledge just how SHIT the lolita community is in long island? I'm a new lolita, living in long island myself. And I want to go to a meet..but these people....

Familiar feelings about your local comm?

>> No.7318199

Yes, shitty comm thread please.

My local comm is atrocious. It's filled with ita weeaboos that can barely dress themselves and they always go to the same cafe for every meet. The food isn't even that good there.

My community really lacks in talent when it comes to dressing themselves. Most of them are fatty chans or skyscrapers who's skirts barely cover their butts and insist they wear AP. They aren't creative with their coordinates at all and some of them would rather waste their money on stupid shit over a lolita coat. I wouldn't mind so much, but some of the girls come to meets in coats that really don't go with their coords.

There's also this one girl who is so weeby, yet everyone in the comm seems to like her despite her obnoxious attitude.

I realise this might mean you are talking about me by process of elimination, but as I have been to a grand total of two meets and am not into anime I am pretty sure I'm safe.

I agree that everyone from the comm is pretty tall and perhaps should rethink their dress choices (i.e. not AP), but I think that we have quite a few well dressed people in amongst the poorly dressed weebs.

I live on Long Island! I'm part of the common facebook, but I haven't attended a single meet up. If you know Sierra, she's really great and sweet. I did a photoshoot with her once because I was friends with her boyfriend (now possibly fiance?) And she was really cool about letting me use her accessories for the shoot.

Also, nicole, the leader of the group I guess? Nicole Oliva? She's super nice, not a fan of the way she does her hair and make up, but thats your typical "theatre" girl. I did the macabre fair with her, thinking I'd get to wear Lolita, but we ended up doing some horror fest. It was cool, she was nice and it was a really fun experience.

You'd think that NY would have at least semi-decent lolita communities but all the ones I've encountered are horrible.
I know a few girls from the LI comm. some are really nice and sweet. I've only encountered one girl who can put together really nice coords. Some are ok dresses, but there's lots of shitty dressers. The head of the comm, Nicole (The girl with the creepy baby doll) is a total sweetheart but is just so borderline ita it hurts. Most of their meets are around Suffolk since that's where she lives so I tend to stick more around the NYC lolitas. But that's a whole other shitfest.

This is why I suggested that Amani would flip a shit if someone tried to make a new comm. If she flips a shit and bans someone for slitting up on a meetup and "highjacking" it I'm sure she would flip a shit over highjacking the comm.

But in the end it was a good thing because the banned girl decided to give in and join the ita group, and then MIA flipped a shit because she didn't want an elitist brand BTB whore in the group. Simply was like "dude chill, lets all get along." and the MIA unfriended everyone and went back to hanging out with the weebs.

I joined up with my community when it first started and at the time it was great! Good outfits, nice girls with interesting jobs and most importantly no weebs.

Fast forward two years and its weebs, teens, and ita's evvvvverrywere. One of our meetup pics ended up on cgl a while ago and while anons said my coord was good (thanks cgl) i had to agree with the person who posted it: Our comm looked like crap. Not to mention that we have SO MANY special snowflakes and everyone is being a whiny shit these days.

Can my comm be fixed /cgl/? I had hoped id meet people with a love for lolita and instead i found weebs and special snowflakes who wear lolita to be ~*Different*~

Suggestions for what to do when you're in a comm full of poorfags? I've been in the fashion for much less than pretty much all the members of the comm, but because I actually I have money to spend I feel like I'm outgrowing them. I don't want to abandon them for a "better" comm, but it's nice to be able to talk to other lolitas about their recent purchases, rather than having people tell you how their jealous of what you have.

Google steampunk, then google gothic lolita. If you can't tell by looking...

They share a lot of aesthetics but they're also super different. Steampunk can have a variety of silhouettes- pants, long gowns, suits, and is based around a mix of technology and victorian turn of the century fashion. Lolita is a mix of various period fashions but with a unifying, poofy knee-length skirt silhouette (for the most part), much more based on cuteness, elegance and a bit of a princessy look.

Anything more than that and just read the board sticky, it's there for a reason.

Most are alright, just... fat and the flat shoes aren't helping. I think I like the Chantilly one best, just give her a heel and give Midsummer a different pair, those boots don't suit lolita at all.

Christ, that monstrosity on the far left tho. What made her think those boots were a good idea? And the long empire waist dress+bonnet combo makes her look like a gothic adult baby.

That is why it looks so similar to me. To my mind steampunk always looked like a bit of a mash up of goth and lolita. The sticky didn't seem to have much information on the topic.

Fashion is not my expertise by any means. Lolita is beautiful and something worth looking at, but that is about as far as my knowledge goes here. Thanks for the protip.

My local comm used to have a lot of drama surrounding it. I knew the basics and was somewhat close through school to someone involved, so I didn't bother attending meets/getting involved in them. The drama seems to have died down though and I met a few of the members at a local event awhile ago and they seemed sweet, so I think I'll attend their next meetup.

Meanwhile, because of the drama I think they forbid their members from seagulling or something? Or at least keep a close eye on them. SO I guess if they knew I was here I wouldn't be welcome anyways LOL

None of these coords are very good
Left->Right
weeby cheap milanoo esque dress, sheer plain black tights(would look better if she had left the rhs straps on), wig is nice. Pretty ita outside of the wig, she could be a very cute lolita though

Not terrible, but girl should tuck the blouse in and should save the harlequin socks and bow for a different coord. The makeup application could use some work.

The cut of the blouse makes her shoulders look wider, little top hat, cheap lace wristcuff?, and the socks with white lace on an otherwise all black and gray outfit.

Girl needs some make up and her hair done, otherwise she looks fine, though the cut of the blouse collar looks slightly odd paired with the jsk.

Needs a bra desperately or whatever is happening to her boobs there needs to stop. Cute hair, the coord would be ok if the top part if it fit at all. Could use some brow filling and fake lashes.

I'm not really a big fan of sweet, but she's the most put together one. She should have gone with a one colour wig or pink and mint to match the shoes.

Hair and make up need work(hair needs more volume, she'd look nice with some curls or waves). The black and blue in this case don't really go nicely together, and the necklace isn't lying properly

no one intended to "hijack" anything , amber knew we were meeting beforehand( i made sure to invite her) and 2 of her close friends (dalin and rune) showed up.We wanted to go to the meetup location on time but dalin told us to stay put and left with rune without anyone noticing, so we went to eat at a diner across the street ( we had like 15 girls with us at the time ) and suddenly in the middle of our meals my phone rang and it was runes number so I picked up and amber starts yelling. Not knowing what to do I pass the phone across the table to Cadney and she breaks down crying. Amber tells her that a bunch if girls are waiting to meet her at the met and we have to go asap and amber makes sure to tell her to leave me behind, but everyone suggests I go anyway so we behind our trek over to the metropolitan museum of art where sopposedly a bunch of girls were already there (there wasn't a single lolita when we got there we checked for a good hour before amber arrived) and of course amber was late by almost 2 hours and arrived with 4 or 5 girls that were her close friends including dalin and rune. I find out later that they were eating lunch and had a seat reserved for cadney but of course she wasnt there and i have a feeling this is what initialy pissed amber off. I instantly go to apologize to amber (heartfelt sincere apology since at the time I felt like it was all my fault) and of course she stuck her hand in my face and walked away to hug Cadney and apoligize for making her cry / stress etc, we visit 1 exhibit in a super crowded museum it's really stressful and we leave .i get home and I am told off by Victoria and amber publically begins talking shit about me on FB with most of the comm following along and some of the mods present.

I think I should mention that I'm younger than all of the girls that participated, at the time I was 19. I really did not know how to handle this sort of thing.I'm generally well dressed and drama free until this event happened , and to this day I still feel like dalin and rune set me up and scapegoated me for kicks. They're both really fake and I'm pretty sure they make up rumors about me now from time to time just for kicks.
Oh and I was apologetic enough to beg rune and dalin via text and phone calls a few days after it all happened to maybe set something up so I can properly apologize to Victoria and Amani becouse at the time I thought that was the mature and sensible thing to do but they both just ignored me and rune wrote I was "blowing up her phone and she was 200% done with my shit" on
Facebook and that's pretty sad considering I thought we were good friends before all this shit went down. But that was probably as fake as her claimed knowledge of the Russian language ( I'm fluent , tried to speak with rune, she answered everything with "da" and In English with a fake Russian accent :/ but I played along cus I wanted to be nice).

I still don't get it but what you went through sounds like a lot of bs and if it happened that long ago I don't get how shit still hasn't been done about it considering how people have complained of this behavior for YEARS... like, no one stood up for you?

My brother moved over there (and bouncing to NYC every weekend) and as much as I'd like to see him again, I wouldn't mind going to a CT meet up as well (definitely not a NYC or LI one - I think I'd be happier to go site-seeing with family). Any cool spots to check out?

I'm a suburban loli too; just labeled "Chicago" for the sake of identifying the comm as we haven't split into city/burbs comms yet (not that we should, ugh).

I've been to two megameets and seen pictures from all four(?), and I am legit astounded by some of the coordinates. Although honestly a lot of those are the really young/new, or those from out of state (although not all of them, because DAMN some of the WI and MI girls are freaking awesome).

I hope we see more action in the summer once everyone comes out of hibernation.

>> No.7320176

Anyone know how the DC comm is? Moved to the area a while ago and I want to hang out with some other lolitas, but I'm a little hesitant after hearing about some of the other groups (nyc for example). Don't want to go to a meet only to find the group is full of drama and/or itas...

Haha, I'm about three hours south of Chicago. There could be a separate group, but it seems more centralized the way it is, and at least the metra goes as far as the Fox River. Besides, Illinois is already pretty segregated: there's Chigothloli which includes many 'burb lolis, there's QCA (they're not as active as they used to be), Central Illinois (which is struggling to be active), and a few (lone?) lolitas scattered around Southern Illinois (poor girls).

This is my comm! I'm not pictured, but from the description I guess I'm one of the 'skyscraper-chans' as I'm six feet tall. I do own IW long-length dresses that are probably more height-appropriate, but if I want to wear my AP I will.

I think Florrie and Elizabeth are good meet-up organisers, and I always know I'll really enjoy a meet if I see them on the going list. They've always been fantastic at making me feel welcome.

I think one of the strengths is it's mostly 18+, so there aren't really immature people. I've seen one comment about there being a lot of weeaboos, but I don't think I've ever noticed anime/Japan really being discussed. It may have been that (as this picture is a year old) they've now left?

Speaking of Francesco, I find it really weird that he seems to have removed himself from the community but is still being super active on the Facebook page.

Nah, Tucson's not bad. Dominique is retarded by Candice is the nicest person on the planet and even though she gets roasted on here, her recent coords have all been boring-to-good tier. There are a few more in the Tuc-loli group that are consistently well-dressed and sweet too, but no one can stand Dominique. I used to knock Tucson too, until I got to know more than just it's most vocal members.

Phoenix comm as stated is super sweet, accepting of newcomers and transfers, and fairly active, the downside of which being (as already mentioned) that just due to the sheer size of the comm there is a large ratio of ita weeb:actual lolitas. No recent drama though, not really anything worth talking about for a couple years actually.

Northern AZ also has a small comm, but I can't speak to their activity levels and the one picture I've seen of them was pretty rachet.

The only major players of the AZ comm you should probably be aware of are Juli (she's literally, no joke crazy and has a sever victim complex, but most people just ignore her now) and Kat (if efame whores grind your gears, aside from the attention-whoring she's ok).

A common reaction.

I never said you wouldn't, just that lolita encourages a higher level of bitchiness than many other subcultures. It's just fact.

Maybe you should look a little further than school and your retail work before passing judgement. Some social circles are objectively better/worse than others.

I'm so glad you came into this thread anon because what would we have done without your insistence that you know best. I'm just saying that the level of crazy I've seen in Lolita has been matched in such commonplace areas. As for other subcultures and social/circles, that's a whole other issue. The level of crazy far surpasses that of Lolitas. Perhaps you should consider that you don't necessarily know where any Anon you're speaking to comes from or what subcultures they belong to before passing judgement, love.

I'll admit that since it's a fashion community, it attracts a lot of women, who might love to be competitive. I'm just saying Lolita specifically, as a fashion, has nothing that inherently brings out bitchiness. People are crazy bitches everywhere.

In any case, you sound so sad and pathetic, so I'll stop arguing with you. You're gonna be sad and angry whether I answer or not!

Tell that to /cgl/ lolita threads. They're more judgemental than /fa/.

Terrible fanbase + easily baited = fanbase that gets picked on the most

I don't know if fanbase is the right word, but userbase- certainly.

Ugh I remember this. I was in the group that was with Cadney, and while we were waiting for the rain to pass and Amani called, she told them to put the youngest girl there on the phone and oh god. When the girl reported back to us she was kind of shaken up because she was basically interrogated about where certain people in the comm were and what 'actually' happened. She told Amani exactly what happened, and Amani was obviously not pleased. I bet she felt that since the girl was new-er to the comm she was easily impressionable and she just kept talking to her in this soft voice (the kind you use when you ask a little kid what's wrong) The girl's 17 not a five year old.
Basically, Amani interrogated a young girl (who could actually fucking dress herself) and I haven't seen her at a meet since.
(The museum bullshit is a whole 'nother story.)
