Is your comms know-it-all dictator starting to get on your nerves? Or perhaps your local community is sweet on the outside but gossipy behind everyones backs? I have no idea, but basically this is a lolita comm rant thread. Gossip gets bonus points.

Ill start
>I'm getting really fucking tired of these fashion shows where despite saying they are accepting people based on their coords, some of the outfits are absolutely hideous bodyline monstrosities placed on a semi-good-looking nobody who happens to be friends with the organizers. I realize I'm not beautiful, but I dont appreciate their method of picking girls. (especially since the show was for some nobody-gives-a-shit normalfag event..... SIGH)

The New Zealand comm, specifically the Auckland comm was a huge disappointment to me. My friend got into lolita fashion recently and she got me into it, but I'm only a lurkfag at this point. But after seeing pictures from the local comm's last few meetups, I've lost my motivation to buy burando. With very few exceptions, this comm is made up of itas, and it's disheartening to know that if I want to go to local lolita events I'll have to hang out with a badly-dressed group.

If I did get into the fashion properly, I wouldn't be in this comm, but the problem is that I'd still be associated with them because it's a small area. Case in point, there's one fatty-chan that I've seen around a local mall, and she's got the most hideous co-ords 99% of the time (example, why on earth would you wear black and white striped kneesocks with an outfit that has no other white in it, just red and black?) and my mother saw her once and said "isn't that the fashion you wanted to get into? It looks terrible!", and I had to explain that no, this girl just had bad taste. But I don't like the idea of people seeing her and associating her with my fashion.

(Also, guess who I would find on the comm's facebook but E. You are a terrible cosplayer and an even worse lolita, and nobody wants to hear about your second-hand bloomers. And for the love of all that is holy, fix your lipstick or don't wear any, I'm sick of seeing it smudged across your face).

The photos from the picnic meetup were a huge turnoff. Why do so many of the members bring their young children to meetups? And there were only one or two girls with good co-ords. Everyone else just looked plain bad, especially the girl in the lavender dress (Bodyline? It was low quality anyhow), who I've dubbed 'the purple people ita'.

Well I guess thanks for saving me some money, Auckland comm. I'm leaving the country in a few years, and if my new local comm isn't a steaming pile of disappointment I'll get into lolita properly there.

People are excluded from meets when they don't understand that just because you're wearing something out of the societal norm means you act out of the societal norm.

I was new to one of the larger groups last year and the reason I now get invited to smaller private gatherings with the supposed 'popular girls' is because I made sure to look polished, take advice and act on it, give compliment sandwiches when people asked me for my thoughts and not spend the whole time discussing myself or my bedroom habits.

If you are moving to a new group, treat it as you would the first 3 months of a new job- be on your best behavior and keep your mouth shut.

My local comm is split between teenagers who don't own any lolita (except wigs) and 30+ women who are eternal itas. And a massively creepy brolita/ouji who thinks lolita is a fetish and keeps wanting girls to pose for him thrown in the mix.

The only well dressed girls are tumblr hugbox fanatics so there is no hope of anyone getting con crit.

Holy shit anon, scrape that sand out of your vag, will you?
Even without being in the fashion, I'm sure lurking here enough has taught her at least decent coordinating and such. That's like saying that because you aren't a master artist, you can't say any art is bad. Or if you're not a head chef at a 5-star restaurant, you can't tell me this food tastes bad. Its really not that hard to know when bitches be clashin' colors, have cheap lace monsters, etc. A day on this board can teach someone to do better than that if they pay attention.
I wouldn't want to join an ita comm either. Comms are like a tiny loli family group for lolitas, and I wouldn't choose people that look like trash as my loli family.

They can lurk all they like and have opinions galore but unless they are donning the frills they are just sitting on the sidelines throwing rocks on the playing field.

>>7444891
No. This is the worst comparison ever. For lolita, you do have guides and can make it at least nice-ish on your first time. Sex isn't bound with that much rules, and someone who never experienced it can't know jack shit.
However, wearing lolita on top of knowing a lot theorically will really help you understanding the fashion and applying it better.

tl;dr : if you lurk a lot you can make it ok, but actually wearing lolita will make you better at it if you have good basis. In lolita as in everything, practice makes perfect.

Posting purchases was never complained about before she made up these rules - just back seat modders having a whinge. I get the impression haul threads pretty common on other comms?

The BS about 'attacking' companies came in after she banned a former friend for having an argument with her. The official reason was that she was going to post mean things about Selina's indie brand that she worked and modelled for free for, but there was never any proof to back up Selina's excuse.

Opinion question here. I'm really worries about my comm. We have four admins: only one ever comes to meets; she's young and lives a little far but she tries her best.

There are littler groups within the community that get along better than others (partially dictated by the area you live in, partially dictated by age group/uni/etc.), you just have to talk to everyone and figure out who you want to be friends with. There's a LOT of girls in the community, so you'll probably find at least a few to hang out with.

I would too. You can pick and choose among the good ones who dress well but if your comm is full of bad dressers, it kind of defeats the purpose of a fashion comm.

I don't think it's a bad thing, she sounds like a perfectionist and would probably be very good at co-ording, but I wonder if her high standards are a product of lurking rather than experiencing the fashion first-hand?

And that's all well and fine until most of them start coordinating and building a wardrobe and find that it's a bit more of a challenge than just sitting there critiquing from the outside.
It's easy to pick on others' efforts but I don't think it's that relevant when you have no effort of your own.
I'm sure many wannabe Lolitas have plenty of opinions but I'm not in the habit if listening to anyone not even active yet in the fashion.

I think it's fine to have opinions on what you like and don't like, aspirations too. If the local comm isn't for you then be a lone lolita or travel occasionally for bigger meets.
But a big post ripping a local comm when you aren't even really a lolita yet just smells a bit too much of jelly to me.
Not of their style, obviously, but of them just doing their lolita thing.

I'm not debating the benefits of lurking, learning or having high standards.
But surely you've seen the ones who do that kind of critiquing and then show up looking less than stellar themselves once they actually get into wearing things? It's much more common than a princess and the pea syndrome where one lone noob has such impeccable taste, generous budget and perfect hair, skin, shape and everything else that her locals are so far beneath her once she deigns to actually get active. That's pretty rare.

Cut her a break, it's a rant thread. It's the first time I've ever seen anything of the sort regarding this comm, so it sounded like she just wanted to get it all out in one go. I don't sense jelly from her either, just a lot of frustration and disappointment. I had a very similar situation when I first started out in lolita - the only comm in my area was terrible and there were no other comms in the near vicinity. It really did kill my motivation to keep building my wardrobe.

>> No.7446916

>>7446891
I've seen noobs doing the kind of critiquing where it was obvious they didn't know what they were talking about and then show up looking terrible sure, but I've also seen lots of new lolitas who took the time to research thoroughly before they started show up to meets and outshine older lolitas. All the experience in the world can't save someone with bad taste in general, and it won't change someone who had good taste in the first place much.

So what did you do once you got your first coord together? Or did you wait? I'm kind of curious. I wonder why she doesn't just either dress up with her friend or be a lone lolita unless she really wants (or maybe has) to wait several years until she lives somewhere else to even start dressing Lolita?

>>7446916
I think it just gets up my nose when it's someone who doesn't even plan to jump in for a while already calling it 'my fashion' and harshly critiquing those actually doing the wearing. If she shows up well turned out someday then bully for her. I'm not saying she won't.

Okay, the ambassador thing. Can someone explain the point? I've been following the JLA Facebook and reading posts from a few of the ambassadors and what not, and I really am baffled. Everything so far looks like a way for Misako to get lolitas abroad to pay for her to make appearances in their community, as organised by her chosen ambassadors. Is that actually what's going on? Or am I just really jaded/not seeing the whole picture? Because I really haven't seen any ambassadors reaching out to other communities or the public at large, which is what I had assumed would be the goal of having a representative for each country or community.

I waited until there were some better dressed lolis in my area and we ended up forming our own comm (the old one had died out).

As for anon, I kinda got the impression she was going to join because her friend wanted her to, but she realized the comm wasn't what she was looking for/wanted to be associated with and didn't want to spend a lot of money on something she wasn't going to enjoy. Probably didn't help that her mother's first impression of lolita was a bad one. People on /cgl/ make fun of people whose parents won't let them wear lolita and tell them to grow up/be more independent, but that's not so easy when you're young. And I personally think it's silly to move out for the sake of a hobby if you've got a good home life otherwise. Either way, I hope that she finds a better comm when she moves.

I have a feeling a lot of people doing the bitching are under this assumption. I'd like to think most people who are experienced enough know what it's like to try to build a large, cohesive wardrobe and they know it takes awhile before you can put together "interesting" looking coordinates (and even then, after awhile they still look the same). As well as knowing that "shit I just want to be cute today fuck the hassle".

I really feel like half the people bitching about boring, "shit" coords (where one item is off or the petti isn't perfect, or the bag doesn't perfectly match) are girls with armchair lolita opinions who probably have nothing in their own wardrobe outside a cheap bodyline dress or two. That's why I don't give half those opinions the time of day, unless they're from the fucking Russian comm, then I'll excuse them.

Do you mean the one in this weeks secrets? That wasn't about fatties stretching brand, it was about alteration of brand and it was just the girls opinion. She never said it was fact or that everyone must adhere to her line of thinking and the kicker is that she isn't even an entitled skinny bitch like a lot of people seem to assume. She followed that post with another explaining how she bought the Sugary Carnival JSK but couldn't wear it due to her chest size I think but instead of altering it, she sold it back into the community to someone who could wear it. Another thing is that she never said 'you can't alter brand because I said so', in a previous post in the same thread she'd said that you can do whatever you want to these clothes because they're yours but in her opinion altering is wrong.

I don't see how this line of thinking is any worse than being of the opinion that replica's are wrong since the same excuses are used for both. I'm too big/too tall/too small for brand so I need to get it altered/a replica. I'm just saying that a single post in a much bigger conversation was singled out and people are jumping to the wrong conclusions about her intentions.

Yeah, there are reservation issues to deal with and if a venue can accommodate a humongous group. For events at restaurants, you need RSVPs and then have a waitlist for the eventual conflicts to cause someone to drop out.

Like I'm planning an afternoon tea meetup and I want everyone to come, but the venue has limits for a certain price and if I allowed more people to come, we need a minimum $2000 combined purchase without tax & gratuity to get the room. So for the cheaper tea options, I'd need 77 people attending (this is a group with less than that number in our FB group, so need to invite neighboring comm lolitas + their guests) or 67 people for next tier tea service.

Hey I know we're friends, but I am too dealing with the same thing. I'm hosting a tea party next for our comm and we're having it at an Austrian Tea House setting. I'm in contact with the event planner for the tea house about renting out an event room. The place wants a $100 an hour for a minimum of two hours which totals to $200. If 15 or more RSVP'd for the event then yes we would rent out the space since the party is large enough for a private event. You need to have economic sense when you host an event. It doesn't make sense if only 5 lolitas show up and you're renting out a space for $200 for a two hour use that can hold 40. Currently the number of lolitas that have RSVP'd does not warrant renting the space, but it is an option when our party becomes too big. We're here for the tea and to socialize and not for renting the space.

I think the Brisbane comm is...okay...but they tend to go to more bars/pubs and drink. I tend to prefer more meets involving art galleries, high teas, picnics, etc. Something to make the whole day seem like it's in a different world/time period as opposed to just going to have dinner and a drink which i can do any day, wearing anything.

The girls are nice but i'd say half dress well and 1/2 dress like....well they dress like shit. If you check out their Facebook comm pics and compare the "Lolitas" (i say that in quotation marks cause most of them sure as fuck aren't lolita) from the Spaghetti House meet to the High Tea Meet, the Spaghetti girls look ita as hell, while the High Tea meet girls look much better.

I've even seen a Lolita wearing flipflops in Brisbane! I know it gets hot and humid but farrrrkkkk I haven't seen the Sydney comm girls but i think the Melb girls, and Adelaide girls are better. Not perfect but better. Maybe because Brisbane is just more of an overgrown country town. whatever.

First is the lovely Marie at ODIP.

Then there is the resident bitch Sinny. Tormenting cosplayers and lolitas at every chance. Also had drama with Marie(ODIP) that was all over livejournal a few years back.

Then there is the melb brolitas and aristocrats. Most can't dress for crap, >>445168 but the one that does has a seedy side. Victor is known for his love of young lolita meat, preying on every Lolita under the age of 18 even though he himself is pushing mid 30s. But his behaviour in this department goes uncheck because he knows how to dress. Why kick out the one person who makes the male side of the melb community look good to the rest of the world.

Don't forget our resident secret maker, pitting everyone in the community and other Aus states against each other. This secret maker has been around since the early days, ruffling feathers at every chance.

Then there is the Melbourne Facebook mods carefully covering up all the drama with policies >>7445149
