Saw this girl today walking around at my school.
Good fucking lord. I'm not even a lolita and I knew she looked bad. She didn't have a wig on and her hair was frizzy and everywhere. Plus her dress didn't look like it fit her at all. I wanted to take a picture, but I was embarrassed just looking at her.

Have you guys ever seen people in cosplay or lolita walking around your school?

I wear lolita to school, but I don't wear wigs and have decent hair. Plus, I lean more towards gothic, so it's easier to tone it down where necessary and not look like an idiot.

I wear lolita to college very occasionally, and I know that another girl there is also a lolita, though we never talk. She's in my comm but I don't think she's gone to any recent meets as I've never met her.

There is also a girl who wears a Lost Prophets hoody and a hideous, cheap wig that looks like it might be a Sephiroth cosplay wig. It's always a huge cloud of tangles at the back.

I can see if it's an everyday thing yeah, but tbqh I don't remember the ridiculous shit people wore in high school or in my undergrad based on a day-to-day basis. Unless I really think about specific instances, for the most part I don't remember because it's so damn unimportant.

Only one time have I seen a lolita in public. Not exactly at school but in a college town. It was in Tucson, Arizona about a year ago now maybe. She was kind of a fatty, walking up Oracle in her $5 see through dress which I think she was wearing a hoop skirt with rather than a petti, long uncombed wig and flimsy ass "parasol". I assumed she was going for ott sweet but god it was awful. It's too bad I was in the car at the time or I would've gotten a pic.

It's actually not that shocking that lolita is some of the weirdest shit around. A lot of the alt fashions you'd expect to see around seem to have died out for the most part/only exist on the internet. I don't even see scene kids in public anymore let alone lolitas.

[Anonymous No.7166711]

This weekend I saw two lolitas in Target. (I'm a lolita, too, but I was out of uniform because I was running errands.) I think they saw the recognition in my face or something, because they smiled at me. One of them was a chubby girl in OTT sweet with really unflattering wig and the other was wearing a shitty replica (I was several yards away and I could tell it was a replica -- that's how bad it was). I wonder if they knew as we exchanged glances that I was thinking very negative thoughts about them.

There's one lolita that I know of at my university, I actually think I recognized her face from /cgl/ when I first met her, but she's not an ita or drama-magnet or anything. She dresses very well.
There's also another girl who I think wears mori - if not, she at least has a Liz Lisa bag so I know she's interested in J-fashion.

Well, learning Chinese won't help your Japanese speaking skills, because these languages are very different phonetically, but the many characters (kanji) are the same. (That's why japanese people can recognize some characters in the Chinese text, for example, or Chinese can read some street signs and such in Japan). So it might help a little.

[Anonymous No.7170074]

Actually, learning Chinese makes Japanese much easier to learn. Some words the Chinese and Japanese both share, such as the word 'prepare'; in Chinese its jun bei, in Japanese its jun bi. Or 'telephone', in Chinese its deenwa, in Japanese its denwa.

[Anonymous No.7170077]

>>7170057
That's expected of a Japanese class. Doesn't make it okay, but it's expected. Your professor is a real trooper, to be sure.

I still feel bad for my Chinese professor though, having dumb asses constantly offending you, asking you about a different country entirely as though it's the same thing. Working to instill a "China and it's language is important to the future" attitude rather than "this is Asian so it'll go great with my anime and shitty cosplays".

We have to go to a legit Chinese restaurant and order and stuff in Chinese at the end of the semester and I am just dreading the inevitable "WHERE'S THE SUSHI/RAMEN ON THIS MENU?" "ITADAKIMASU" "~*OISHI DESU NE!!!!*~"

It's actually diànhuà and zhǔnbèi, so not pronounced so similarly, and the characters are only the same for those who write with traditional Chinese. Most Mandarin speakers only know simplified and will probably not understand.

Mandarin is the standard version taught so it isn't going to do you much good for Japanese if your teacher doesn't teach you traditional characters also, which most don't.

Kanji are only the same if you are taught traditional characters. If you are taught simplified characters then you won't be able to read them. If you're taking Chinese in uni you're most likely to learn Mandarin using simplified characters which will not help you for reading Japanese.

Mandarin using simplified is the most commonly taught and is also the most commonly used, most of mainland China uses this version.

If you're taught Taiwanese Mandarin, you'll learn traditional characters. If you're taught Cantonese(which isn't commonly taught, at least not in the U.S.) you'll use traditional characters also.

>who has the time to sit around on campus and not even do any work or go to class
In my experience, fedoras and overgrown mallgoths are either in the sciences where the pretentiousness eventually gets beaten out of them by hard work and all-nighters, or in some field that allows them to bullshit around for a few years before realizing they have no future. One of the worst fedoras I know went on to major in philosophy where he only had one hour of class a week and bluffed his way through most of the reading. Consequently, he had a lot of time to sit around being pretentious. The few things he did manage to learn only made him worse.
I know it's not fair, but whenever I see some asshole just hanging around doing nothing for hours I assume they're "studying" philosophy.

While I've certainly never dressed like that or fished for attention that way on campus, I will say that some geeks are really nerds at heart who never have to study very much until they get to their harder classes in their major.

I do know a group of guys who sit around on campus 3-4 hours a day between classes and just sit around playing yugioh and arguing over geek trivia. They have jobs, but those are mostly either weekend or night time jobs and they primarily do their studying later in the evening.

I have seen people like the girl you're talking about though. One used to wear umbreon ears and party city wigs to school. I wore a costume for a costume contest on campus and she started complaining to me about how everyone had better wigs than her all the time. She was only on campus for a couple semesters and then just disappeared, never to be heard from again, other than the occasional facebook status about her bjd collection or her money woes.

At my school, whenever I go down to the Honors College to do work in between classes or eat, there is, without fail, a group of guys loudly arguing while playing Magic the Gathering. They're all in harder classes, too, so I really don't understand how they get the grades to keep their status.

There's a cosplay club as well, but it's really cool and only dresses up on campus for things like running tables, awareness events, advertising, dressing Disney or Pokemon for kids that come to big campus-wide events.

However, there is one guy that sometimes wears a fursuit on campus and another girl that wears a pikachu hoodie with pikachu ears fairly regularly.

The dudes that play Yugioh are really smart and at the same time not complete jerks. A little awkward yeah but not like most of the people in the clubs who backstab/pick fights.

The ita girl is also rude as far as I can tell. She talks badly of other girls, mostly hipsters or girls who wear that kind of clothing. I have no idea why.

There's a gang of furries who don't dress up but they do talk about their kinks and fetishes to whoever is listening.

The bitchy girl I mentioned before is the worst though since she just goes about starting crap on purpose before falling back on her looks or how "different" she is to get by.

Just as frat boys can do incredibly well in med school, people who seemingly have no life aside from their nerdy hobbies might actually excel in their courses.

>tfw I'm not one of those people....

Remember when having nerdy hobbies pretty much always meant that you were also intelligent? Too many people with no skills or positive attributes migrated to the nerdy hobbies.

Oh no, I'm not saying they're dumb or bad people - in fact, a couple of them are my friends. I just literally have no idea how someone can maintain a 3.5 gpa with advanced biomedical engineering courses without dedicating every waking moment to them, and have room in their brain to know a complicated game's rules so well on the daily.
I only say this because for most people in the honors program, we also have jobs and are the campus leaders in student orgs, so hobbies are a luxury.

I live in Holland Michigan. Saw a girl down the street from me wearing Moitie. I've never seen another good lolita in West Michigan so I freaked out. Too bad she got in a car and drove away before I could say I loved her dress.

Holland is conservative and Dutch as hell, but I know some cool, quirky people from there.

[Anonymous No.7175716]

I agree with the other anon about the brows. Pluck them into a neater shape, trim them down and fill them in with a lighter brow powder/mascara. A light, golden brown or a milktea shade would suit that wig very well. The wig itself goes with your coloring nicely. I would suggest that the next one you buy have chin length layers to frame your face. It would soften your features/jaw.

Contouring/highlighting your face to soften it and applying blusher to the tops of your cheek bones rather than the apples would also help.

Might I suggest checking out gossmakeupartist's channel on youtube. He has lots of good tips and tutorials that are really handy. It really helped me hone my skills.

EIther way, you've come to the right board. I know a lot of Lolitas who are great at makeup, but some cosplayers I've met are amazing. You wouldn't believe how much they can change their features.

Also, did I mention I really like your coord? I like the way you brought out the red and your shoes are really cute. Simple, casual stuff like this is my favorite.

Aw man, I was just in Holland (and Saugatuck/Douglas) last week and really wanted to wear lolita but it was so cold and shitty that I changed my mind. But feels good to know there's more lolitas in the area!

You should be wearing suits since you're a man, not little girls dresses.

Yeah, I'm slowly trying to get my girlfriends to wear lolita with me. I have them obsessed with wigs now, I guess that's a step.

[Anonymous No.7176553]

>>7175739
Holy shit! Another lolita in the area? Yeah, it's been shitty and windy, if I didn't have to work and go to school I would hibernate indoors with some sweatpants and the xbox.

We have a rather nice community in MI. You should try a meet some time.

[Anonymous No.7177039]

>>7176624
I've been to a meet up before, I'm part of the MI frillitia but it's hard getting out to the other side of the state to see you ladies! I'm not the tea party sort really, I'd just love to chill and have a beer with some of the girls.

[Anonymous No.7177051]

I would be down for this come my 21st birthday.
Also, considering it's difficult for me to find the time between school and work to get to meets that are only 45 minutes to an hour away, I feel your pain. I can't imagine having to drive hours for a meet.

OT, but what does 'Dutch' mean in this context? I ask because I'm a Dutch person from the Netherlands (the one in Europe, that is) and we're not very conservative at all. In some ways we're your Republican party's liberal nightmare. Sure there are some more conservative areas where dressing oddly will get you disapproving stares, but our country actually has a huge and thriving lolita community.

I guess a century ago we were a lot more conservative and puritan-ish, and the colonists just held on to that way of thinking. It's interesting to think about, that when I would move to an American community that considers itself 'Dutch' I would not have anything in common with them.

Grand Rapids area anon here. I'm surprised there seem to be a lot of you nearby, I've never actually seen a lolita around here.

>>7178948
This area of Michigan has a high Dutch population, a lot of businesses are owned by Dutch families. Van Andel being the big one, if I'm not mistaken they are known for funding the Republican party. But I'm originally from up state so I don't know that much about the area yet.

I'm actually a Chicago loli who was up on vacation. I used to have a second house in Douglas and lived up there on and off my whole life. I go back whenever I can. I thought all the lolitas were upstate!

I just meant that there are a ton of Dutch people there (there is also Tulip time and all that), and it's also a very conservative area.
I didn't intend to imply a correlation/causation.

I go to an art college so naturally I see a lot of interesting things - cosplayers and people wearing j-fashions.
I've seen homestuck, night vale and other tumblr trends (massive flower crowns, faun makeup).
I've seen two lolitas at school, one which I met while I was also wearing lolita (aka best feeling ever).
I've also seen other j-fashions, visual kei, taobao stuff and a girl who looks like Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's number one fan.

[Anonymous No.7179862]

There's this one girl at my school that looks so cute starting from her shoes, but once you keep looking up she's a train wreck.
She's obviously wearing lolita-esque clothing, but her face, her hair and her accessories are just sad.
She has this unflattering hime cut with super wide side....things.... And she wears this hideous, shiny maxipad headpiece with this shitty ass lace on it. Sometimes she also wears these cheap, black lace cat ears. (I think Bodyline sells them)
Shit's atrocious.

[Anonymous No.7179955]

Once as I was leaving a building from one of my classes this homestuck passed by and I recognized the shirt or sweater and while I only got a glance of them I'm pretty sure they were gross as there was something off with their appearance.

[Anonymous No.7180138]

I was at Kennesaw State for a day and I saw a Zorro cosplayer walk by.

Later I saw a TERRIBLE lolita.
I'm not even a loli but I knew she looked a mess. Frazzled mint wig, skirt a lace monster and riding up in back. The bodice barely fit and the skirt was too short on her because of it. I don't remember what the socks and tights she had on looked like but they were stretched really bad and her shoes looked scuffed and mismatched.
It was so hard not to run after her and say "Hey girl, I know what you are trying for. Lets go get you some new stuff"

I hate seeing people that want to do something cool and fun and just fuck it up sideways like that.

Pic related. I think she was going for something like this but it was messy in every way it could be.

I wear lolita to uni every day, but I've not seen another one. Then again, my uni has less than 1000 students, so it's not all that surprising. There might be some lolitas on the Acting courses, but they wouldn't be allowed to wear it to class so I wouldn't know.

I did once see a girl in Chinatown wearing Moitie. I freaked out a little to myself, but I didn't approach her because she looked like she was on a date or something and I didn't want to interrupt. I also used to see Homosucks at college quite a bit, although they were just in themed t-shirts/hoodies rather than full cosplay, so they weren't too embarrassing.
