Can we have another local comm thread?
Talk about your lolita community!
>How big is your comm?

>How often do you meet up?

>How well dressed are they?

>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?

I've just recently gotten back in to lolita and am currently in the process of rejoining all my old comms and building up my wardrobe. I didn't realize how happy it made me until now!

>> No.7266205

>How big is your comm?
Pretty big going by the Facebook page, but there are only about ten girls who go to most meets, another ten who attend mostly bigger meets and the rest mostly just lurk the comm page.

>How often do you meet up?
Not that often. Once a month if we're lucky.

>How well dressed are they?
The core group are really well dressed. Most of the girls who comm to the meets are beautifully turned out. There are a couple of itas but nothing horrendous. Mostly just chubby girls in poorly fitting Bodyline.

>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?
Not really. One or two annoying people who don't really come to meets and a couple of people who like to bitch here but nothing besides that.

>> No.7266224

I've been wondering lately, what really consitutes "a lolita comm"?

Is it all lolitas from the same city, even if they don't know each other personally? A group of lolitas knowing each other well and meeting regularly even if some live a few towns away? Being a part of local fb group or forum even without meets? What if you only see each other during cons? Can a comm encompass the entire country if there aren't many lolitas there?

I don't think we even have any comm, since the number of lolis in my area is a single digit, on better days... and we meet like once a quarter.

>> No.7266235

>How big is your comm?
A decent size. At least 30 on the FB page, and about 5-15 at each meet, which isn't a terrible ratio.

>How often do you meet up?
I personally don't go too often since the meets are often during the week and I work, but we have about 2 a month, sometimes more.

>How well dressed are they?
I think the majority are very well-dressed. We have two unforgivable itas (unforgivable as in clearly not trying and don't really want to) and two 'could use improvement' that clearly want to look nice and just don't have the money, knowledge or time (dunno which), which I can't fault them for.

>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?
Some. Not BtB-level, though we suspect someone has posted there about one of our members, they didn't use a picture but used some personal info that was exactly what happened at our comm. We have two girls who try to make every meet about themselves (one total ita and one mod), by being loud and generally obnoxious and that is annoying enough that it keeps some people, including myself, from wanting to show up regularly.

>> No.7266241

Is this an Aus comm?

>> No.7266280 [DELETED] 

>How big is your comm?
Around 70 people on the Facebook comm, but only about 15 (max 20) people who actually wear the fashion and attend meets. There are lots of people who come to one meet and then disappear completely, as well as lots of cosplayers and weeaboos.

>How often do you meet up?
On average, every 2 months perhaps. But sometimes we have mini meets with our closer friends.

>How well dressed are they?
For the most part, not very well at all. But the (few) girls who have been into the fashion for longer dress pretty well.

>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?
Not really, but almost everyone seems to think /cgl/ and BTB are evil and that anyone who goes there is a bitch. There is this one girl who has posted 10 times in the past three weeks, 8 of those (nooby and annoying) posts were all in a row. The comm in general seems to have a hugbox mentality and is somewhat sheltered. I don't mind that but there are lots of weebs and even the majority of well dressed girls talk in Wapanese at our meetups. Unfortunately most of my favourite girls don't wear lolita or attend meets much anymore, but I made a new friend who moved here this year and our friendship makes things a lot more fun. I think some of the noobs judge us for wearing brand though.

I'd consider any organized group (fb, lj, etc) for the area is a comm. Meetups aren't necessary but being able to have fashion-related discussion is. If you're just a gaggle of lolitas wandering aimlessly throughout the city until you happen upon each other, it's not the same thing.

I think we're around 120 or 130. There's a big range of who actually attend meets though. Sometimes it's 40, sometimes it's 5.

>How often do you meet up?
In the winter there are usually like two meets a month and in the summer there can be a meet like once a week.

>How well dressed are they?
We have a lot of really well dressed girls but lots of newbies too.

>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?
There are a few people just starting out that post annoying stuff to the community, but no one really crazy.

>> No.7266627

>How big is your comm?
200+ on the fb page, but like others have said, we have this problem where there's a core group of only about 30 active members and 10 who go to meets regularly.
>How often do you meet up?
We try for once a month, sometimes more depending on what's going on around town.
>How well dressed are they?
The core group is pretty good. Some odd choices here and there, but for the most part everyone is cute and well-coordinated. Once in a while you get an ita kind of insert herself into the group, but they almost all stop coming after their first meetup. Good mix of brand, offbrand, and indie in the group.
>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?
Not really. We have some lolcows but they've all been pretty quiet as of late. Mostly just shitty "seamstresses" trying to peddle their crap and the resident nutcase drug addict.

>Terribly small. The last meet had 4 people, including myself.
>There's a meet... Once every two months? If we're lucky.
>... Some of them aren't THAT bad. One of them swears by Milanoo though, and she's supposed to be the "big sister" of the group. (We don't really have mods... We have one that checks in like, once a year.) I get judged a lot for wearing "too much brand", though.
>One girl called me a "drama hungry, brandwhore, bitch who has no taste in anything and who deserves to have all my brand ruined" because I didn't go to her friend's meet. (there was a different one I already paid for on the same day.) But I think she's the only one running around trying to create drama. I pretended to forget about it and treat her like a friend and it drives her crazy. Other than that we only see secrets about the "big sister" girl. I honestly have no idea who posts them, though, everyone seems to love her.

In short I really can't wait till I move halfway across the country in August. I didn't find out till after, but apparently the comm where I'm going to be living is really good, with a bunch of nice (and nicely dressed) girls.

The tea party event was a private party organized by another member. Most of the people attending were that member's friends. Someone's been trying to stir up drama when there isn't any and got their facts wrong. There's a Vendetta-chan in the state that keeps trying to create drama about the mod but it's all bullshit. That's the Bianca in the comments.
The Hawaii comm is a friendly group. They have meetups once a month, sometimes more if there are other events going on.

>> No.7267040

>How big is your comm?
About 200 on the Facebook group. Maybe 75-100 regularly posting on the group itself. Between 25-35 active lolitas who attend meet-ups regularly. This is partially because members on the Facebook group travel from as far as two hours away and partially because we have a lot of people who joined to facilitate interstate travel.

>How often do you meet up?
There's usually a big meet two or three times a year. Regular meets are probably every other month. And friends within the group get together several times a week in different, smaller groups, though not always in lolita.

>How well dressed are they?
Pretty well dressed. There's a range of styles and experience levels, but we only really have maybe two or three glaringly bad examples, and they tend not to come to meets all that often. Most of the time, new lolitas or badly dressed lolitas make friends with other people in the group, and improve through their guidance (for example, we have a girl who can't do her make up to save her life, but she's super sweet and open to criticism, so some people have taken the time to help her out and teach her how to attach those lashes and prevent eye shadow fallout).

>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?
A bit. Most of it consists of people complaining that they're being left out of (non-existent) cliques because they weren't invited to so-and-so's lunch outing after work on such-a-day. Overall, there's less than I'd expect, given the large number of people active online. I mostly avoid the particularly annoying lolcow types online because I lack the patience required, but they're typically not as loud in their bitching in person.

I get what you're saying but this part seems so condescending, most 20-somethings (unless you mean late twenties) are poor and in college, or even if not in college poor nonetheless because it's hard to get a nice paying job right after high school. You need years to build up experience and then you get a better job.

Agreed. There's a difference from an adult without a car for feasible reasons and who otherwise is entirely functional, and adults who act like they're children.

We have some of those in my comm, too. I made the mistake of giving one girl a ride once, though I hadn't met her. Someone essentially just volunteered me and I was nice and gave it a shot.

One time this girl came to a meetup at a tea house, not a fancy one, but not a super casual place either. She was wearing a too-small AP jsk and no blouse, with her bright purple bra showing like 20%. Not just straps, but I could see all the outer edge.
I was like "Psst! Your bra's showing." and she said "Oh, it's okay." Bitch, that is not okay. You're making all of us look bad. I don't remember who it was or if she ever came to another meet. If she did, her bra was at least mostly hidden.
>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?
A little drama that's super boring to any outsiders. A few people sometimes seem to get dragged into the drama of a nearby comm, but I don't even really know what's going on with that.

Don't be disgruntled, tell a mod. I know at least two are willing to come down harder on stupid shit but for being branded heinous bitches.

>How big is your comm?
Facebook page has 200+, but actually active members are closer to around 50.

>How often do you meet up?
Once a month for sure, usually more. Depends on how busy the people who typically organize events are.

>How well dressed are they?
Core group is really well-dressed, mostly Classic and toned-down Sweet. We did recently have a pretty big influx of newbie itas, but the ones that have stuck around have been steadily improving, so that's good.

>Any dramu? Lolcows, etc?
Not much drama. Used to be a couple of girls that caused drama all the time, but they've fallen out of the group/j-fashion, so it's been smooth sailing for the last few months. Every now and then something will come up, but we usually just gossip about it for a little while and then move on. Plus a lot of us go on cgl and the other wank comms, so people are pretty wary of spreading rumors/talking shit.

I really love my comm--I don't have many female friends outside of Lolita, so I'm lucky to be so close to the core group in my city. Some of us hang out a lot outside of Lolita, and a lot of us are also cosplayers, so we go to conventions together as well. It's really nice.

True. People should at least name their region/state/province. It's so ambiguous otherwise--half of these could apply to my comm, haha.

True, but my comm has an unwritten "No cgl" rule. I bet a lot of other ones do, too. What I wrote would probably be recognizable to someone from my community if I gave a region, and there aren't all that many of us.

Any info on a Pittsburgh lolita community? I've tried to find a facebook page but no luck.

Does anyone have any experience with the Cincinnati comm? They look pretty chill from their facebook page.

Fresh from the FB:
>"Will there be any meet ups in February? I want to do something with you guys for my day n.n but not actually celebrating my day lol I just want to go to a meet up"

Mine is super open about cgl, and a lot of people go on it, so the opposite can be a good reason not to post too openly.

There's quiet a few comms in the SoCal area. I recently joined up a few months back and hit an event and a meetup. The more I'm meeting girls, the more I'm liking them. I was nervous at first, but it's been pretty nice, and even finding at least one or two others who are on CGL. I haven't really meet any lolcows in my immediate group, But I did just join a little bit before that one chick that tried to scam fairytale boutique got banned from multiple comms for harassing members and mods.

I love SoCal, most of the different comms are typically pretty chill but you do get the occasional drama. Which honestly can be pretty fun to gossip about, as long as your friends aren't directly involved. I've been part of several of the SoCal groups for almost seven years now (mainly LA and SD) and while people come and go, the core groups have been pretty good throughout the years.

The girl you're referring to isn't quite right in the head, but everyone got so fed up with trying to deal with her (she pissed basically everyone off by being completely unreasonable and throwing hissy fits all the time) that she's now banned from almost all the main SoCal groups. Kind of sad, really, but she brought it on herself.
