I just moved to San Jose from a bumblefuck town in Virginia and joined the San Francisco comm. Everyone has been cordial, but the only contacts I've been unintentionally keeping in touch with are younger girls. I'm fine having friends of all ages but I wish there was an easier way to get to know other lolitas around my age (I'm in my mid-late 20s). There's an event to visit a distillery for ILD, which is rad. Although I missed the reservation, I'm hoping that there will be more meets like this.

A lolita asked me if I was going to do the chocolate event for ILD, and I said most likely because I didn't have a chance to go to the distillery event.
>"ew alcohol disgusting!!!"
>proceeds to rant about all her friends that go to clubs and bars
>mfw idgaf about your social insecurities

One lolita in particular is still in high school and has been pressing me questions about my income and my spending. Uh, excuse me? If I'm not questioning you about spending whatever money it is that you have, don't question mine.

Another lolita wants me to drive her around to all of the meets - even to the ones I didn't RSVP to on facebook.

I guess I shouldn't complain, as I was a lone lolita up until now, but can't the world be nice and give me a few quality friends I can chat it up with?

I think the high school lolita is just trying to think realistically about the fashion since she knows its pretty expensive. Since she probably has her parents buy her stuff she hasn't had to worry about budgeting so she's just curious about how older lolitas balance the fashion with their particular income.
Its probably a bit rude but I can understand where she's coming from at least.

Not currently. We don't usually have a lot in any case, just isolated incidents here and there that blow over pretty quickly. (Though I enjoy the drama that sometimes comes from our sister comms...)

Only if something actually goes wrong. Meets are usually well-organized, if a bit cookie-cutter.
>Any creeps?
There's one guy who is borderline creep, but seems to be improving and hasnt given anyone any trouble.
>Any annoying weebs?
There are always one or two annoying young people, but since most of the comm are anime nerds, being weeby is better than being an ita.

As a comm leader myself, I don't really think I'm qualified to comment on that, haha.

Well if as I said in my first post, she probably is relying on her parents/an allowance to get these pieces. She's trying to think ahead about actually budgeting on a specific income where she can't cry to daddy for a new dress. While she's not being very elegant about it, I think she's doing the right thing by looking at how older lolitas manage their fashion within their budget.

>Any dramu?
No, nothing. It's nice and quiet. I sometimes wish we had a little drama, like, juuuust a little, tbh. I am a bad person, yes; I have been tempted more than once to post some members because their outfits were horrible or they were annoying ita weebs (got a few of these here). But in the end I am not enough of a drama loving bitch to actually do this.
>Any shitty meets?
Our neets are usually fine. I wish we had a fancy tea party or an event with burando or a fashion show, but other than that our meet ups are usually great! Depending on the host though, there is soetimes little social interactions. If you are e newbie it can be quite hard to make new friends.
>Any creeps?
Not really. We have a middle aged photographer who sometimes attends meet ups and is really annoying. He is very nice and not creepy at all, but he talks so damn much about his photography and camera and shit and his photos are not even very good... I feel a little bad because he obviously tries hard and is nice and friendly, but I try avoid talking to him because then you get stuck for the next hour with a sermon about photography and his life. No.
>Any annoying weebs?
A few, yes. I haven't talked much with them, and they aren't loud or obnoxious so I don't really know or care about them.
>Any obnoxious comm leaders?

>Any dramu?
not really. there is some shit flying around on /cgl/ involving a few girls, but nothing that involves the comm. Everyone gets along, and even people who don't care for eachother are civil towards eachother and act like adults for the most part
>Any shitty meets?
We've gotten a lot of noobs this year, and now they are starting to plan meets. I use to do a lot of meets for my city, but i haven't had the time/money/energy to do much lately, so I sort of feel like I'm passing on the torch. We'll see how they pan out. I try to give tips and advice because i know how hard it is planning and running a meetup. If I can, I'd really like to support these new members and go to their meets.
>Any creeps?
not in the comm itself, but there is a "photographer" at cons who tries to latch onto the girls. He's hit on me before and complained to me how he wants a lolita girlfriend. In fact, because of my position within the community, I unfortunately get a lot of that. But I don't let that shit fly, so again, it's not really an issue within the community itself
>Any annoying weebs?
sort of. like previously mentioned, we have a lot of noobs this year. But I chalk it up to them being young. I have hope they will improve. Some of them are more awkward then anything else, so they don't really bother me. Thankfully everyone I've met aside from a lewd joke here or there-since most of us are adults- no one is overly loud or obnoxious, or cause a scene in public
>Any obnoxious comm leaders?
May be biased since I am one, but no, there aren't. If anything, the only thing I can complain about is that out of all the mods we have, I tend to be the most vocal/active. Of course when there's an issue, we all discuss things together to find solutions, but the members tend think that I am the only person doing anything, so when someone doesn't like it, I get the flack. It's tough, but it's part of the job i guess.

Hey! Another east bay lolita here too. The comm is huge and since there's easy accessibility to brand might be why you're running into lolitas of different ages, from teens to even lolitas in their 40s. The younger girls don't mean any harm although I can understand your frustration. You should come to the monthly meet since this will be the first one since the MB fiasco and a lot of lolitas are more comfortable coming forward and hanging out with everyone.

Hope to see you at the monthly meet and/or ILD

there are a ton of cheap ass tasty ways to eat ramen. you don't have to settle for eating a cup of noodles twice a day.
My mom kicked me out of the house when I was 18 because I spent more time with my boyfriend then her, and my minimum wage job barely payed for bills. I use to buy eggs and frozen vegetables for cheap and add them to my ramen. I use to eat it as soup, or stir fry it, if i could get some discounted meat i'd throw that in there.

I learned the ways of a ramen master pretty damn fast. Most dresses I bought when i was able to get my own then only required me cutting things out like snacks, deserts, parties, or walking instead of driving to pay for a new $100-200 dress, but i bought the Milky Planet set at the peak of it's popularity for $500.

The point is, it's hard, but it's do able. The majority of these bitches who cry and complain still go out and get their hair and nails done, and go shopping at hot topic on the weekends and buy cheap shitty overpriced anime merch, and then cry about how they can't afford lolita.
