One time at a pretty big con a few years ago, I tried to sneak one of those super tiny Rilakkuma shaped bell cell phone charms into my sleeve. The seller was asking 5$ a pop for them and the whole booth was overpriced. He saw me try to take it and asked for it back, and I gave it to him. Spent a little more time looking around at the booth to try to play it off like I forgot it was in my hand, but I was so mortified I never tried to take anything ever again.
I'm thankful that the guy didn't make a huge deal, just gave me a look like "you know what you tried to do wasn't ok."
Still made me feel ashamed.
On the other hand I once knew a girl who stole literally dozens of anime figures from various cons by smuggling them in her bag. I don't think I would be able to live with myself if I did that, it's kind of shocking that people do that so easily.

Nope, she bought too many items to count and it was about 6 months later. I am thinking she probably just assumed all the money would be returned on her card and none of the people she bought from would lose any. She seemed like she panicked at first to give people money, but then she stopped caring after a while. Some people never even got paid back.

No, most of the reason they didn't get their money back is because the retard EGL mod wonderfinch kept making everyone feel bad for accusing maiko of scamming and instead of trying to get their money back from her directly, WF she was in contact with the police over the situation and to contact them, even though they do fuck all.

I was at a con this weekend and I was so, so tempted to steal from a stand in the trade hall because their shit was really overpriced and they were super rude. I probably could've gotten away with it since it was a big stand and they were constantly mobbed with questions. I'm sure I wouldn't have been the only one, but I couldn't do it.

[Anonymous No.7956430]

I don't think I could ever steal at a con because so many of the vendors are hobbyists that either pour their heart into making the stuff, or it's their dream to be a vendor.
Except for the big ones like Tokyo Toys or whatever, but they always have so many staff watching their overpriced merch like hawks, getting caught stealing weeb shit isn't worth the embarrassment.

I'm actually a recovering kleptomaniac, I think being busted for stealing things is the most undignifying thing in the world, unless it's literally a basic foodstuff like bread since then you can play the 'starving' card.
People caught stealing Naruto trinkets and disposable fashion are risking ruining their lives for a criminal record in the worst way.

They have to pay to import that shit and whatever other business costs they have, as well as needing to make a profit.

I only go to Anime Boston and I check the price of any figure I'm not familiar with on my phone to make sure I'm not paying a fuckton more than what I should for it. There's a couple of vendors that double or triple to prices, but most are reasonable. Of course, many weebs are cheap as all holy hell and pretty much every year, someone in the group I go with has to embarrass the rest of us by complaining very loudly about how they could find a given figure for soooo much cheaper online... when it's only $10-$25 less on the internet and when you factor in shipping costs, the prices are evened out, anyway.

This is only ever true of rare items. Buying on ami-ami or mandarake has been at least $20 cheaper for me with shipping costs factored in. A rare item I found on Mandarake ended up being almost $100 cheaper than at a con or on ebay. Take that for what you will.

I guess if you're one of those people who only buys from places like ebay or amazon it would make little different, but those sites are fucking you over anyways.

I do this at every convention I go to. I have multiple giant-sized alpacas that I've acquired this way.

Honestly, there are so many people walking around with merchandise, nobody will think twice if you walk away with something in your hand. As long as you are confident and you look like you are supposed to have it. Wearing sweet lolita, nobody has ever noticed if I picked up a big toy and walked off.

I would never steal merchandise from smaller booths or the AA, though! I try to only target merchants who have overpriced their items or are selling clearly knockoff items. I also steal from stores in the mall so I have a little bit of practice. But it really all comes down to confidence and not acting shady or suspicious. And honestly being white, probably.

[Anonymous No.7958230]

Items being over priced is not in any way a justified reason to steal from some one. They paid for that item, it's their right to price it however they want and if you don't want to pay for it, don't buy it. Simple as that. No one is forcing you to spend your money there, whatever they decide to price it at has absolutely no negative impact on you. It's not like it's something you actually need and they have a monopoly on it, leaving you with not choice but to steal for survival. Grow the fuck up and save instead of trying to justify your crimes by blaming the victim.

Big businesses still take theft out on their employees, though. So you're not hurting the big companies, but you could potentially be fucking with the livelihoods of the people who work for them.

I've said it before in a couple of threads, but the store I worked at refused to give anyone decent raises regardless of performance, because our shrink was so high (we were in an area that had no security, weren't allowed to actually STOP known shoplifters because of the risk of lawsuits, and we had a lot of people stealing on a daily basis). I was the highest paid non-managers in the store at $8.35 an hour; everyone else was sitting at $7.50-$7.75, depending on their position. My ASM once was offered a $0.05 raise, even though her assessment on all points was perfect, because our shrink rate for the quarter was too high.

It fucking blows. Especially with the economy the way it is now. I had a full fucking double degree at that point, had been fired from my other (almost as shitty) job for falling ill, and was stuck working there until something better came along. A lot of the women who worked with me didn't have the option of "something better" because they couldn't afford to go to college, and it was still an improvement over cleaning toilets all day.

This is so blatantly beginners and their ignorance, as the store owner knows that lolitas who have been doing the fashion for at least a while are too well informed to pay such an inflated price.

I had a similar experience with an indie fashion store in my area.

Said store decided to start selling wigs. I check out their Facebook page because I thought they might have some nice stuff. I look at the photos and they're all shock photos directly ripped from AliExpress and Taobao (picture related) being sold for $10-$15 each and this store was selling them for $70-$90 each.

People started buying these wigs up like hotcakes and I decided to send a message to the owner. I wasn't overly confrontational and I told her that if she's pricing them based on what her supplier is asking she's being ripped off and if she was the one overpricing them then I felt that was a bit dishonest of her. I even told her how much I would love to support her business because it was independent and local. She fired back with something like "that's just the way we price things".

I honestly didn't know what to do so I didn't really pursue it any further. People are still buying those wigs up and I feel really terrible though.

I really can't say because its a small town and it may come back to bite me. It Just makes me so sad because so many people would go in there look and may become interested in lolita, but be deterred by the price tag or beginners could get ripped off.

But then again, I don't think C will be in business much longer with business ethics like that cause really, no beginner will pay $400 for their first pieces, and no informed lolita would buy infanta for $400.

I went into UL to see that dress for lols and the attendant actually told me they got them made overseas, so no excuse for 'handmade'.

I haven't done anything really bad except enabling a milanoo ita.

A girl at my work decided to start lolita, so suddenly she was an expert on the topic and treated me like a lolita equal (if that makes sense). She wore her crappy ita tastic dress one day and I politely said she looked good and asked where she got it etc. she said she got it from Milanoo. I'm like oh ok, erm I've heard Milanoo can be a bit dodgy with their sewing did all of your items come in ok? (tip toeing around the issue so she didn't lose excitement over her first lolita, or make her feel like an idiot). Unfortunately she got a bit defensive despite my attempts. So I left it. Next time I saw her we where hanging out and she was bragging about her big $800 milanoo order that was coming in, and I was just like fuck it (other annoying shit happened during the day this was just what broke me), I've had enough of this bitch, shes rude, condescending, wont even listen to the slightest advice and fucking annoying as shit...

So I told her that I was wrong and Milanoo was the greatest so she should keep buying there forever, and then gave her $100 to spend at Milanoo for her birthday.

Still Ita to this day.

It's not the shop owner's fault if their customers don't care enough about their money to do the same. Why should they price it lower if it's selling just because some weebs haven't done their research and aren't ware of the numerous other vendors selling it cheaper?

It doesn't matter if they know you've been in the fashion for 5+ years and they just discovered it last month, they never listen. Now, I just straight up tell them "that's not lolita and if pictures of it ever made it to the internet, you'd be a laughing stock" with no shits given.

This. I get it, it's just clothes--but it's a fashion that has rules and aesthetics to follow. A person can still be super creative while still maintaining a Lolita silhouette and adhering to the guidelines--I've seen some really cool color and print combos that I would have never pictured working. But these special snowflake girls think they can incorporate STUPID shit into coords and still be *~*lolita*~* because "fashion is about expressing yourself!!"

I could have gone my entire life without ever seeing that screen cap, good lord.

When I was in high school, my best friend started getting into lolita because of me and her dream coord was Sugary Carnival with neon fishnets and Doc Martens. She said if she got the skirt instead of a dress, she would wear a pink mesh shirt with it. She got so fucking angry, to the point of swearing, when I told her that wasn't a good first coord choice. I said something along the lines of "it's better to know more about the fashion and have a lot more experience before doing experimental things". Also, her head was completely shaved besides her bangs and she refused to wear a wig.

CUTSEWS the answer is cutsews For fucks sake. Even if it doesnt have a cake or some teddy bear/toddler shit it can still work. Theres other types of lolita besides sweet.They've been done for ages. Make the sleeves poofy, add lace and wear with a detachable collar.

Jesus Christ people here can't see past their own noses. Just because YOU are a sweet or classic lolita with the most Ott convention coords doesn't mean everyone has to be too. Not all of lolita has the same aesthetic. It's insane to me that you cannot even consider anything passed your own aesthetic to help someone achieve the best version of theirs.

It's hardly individualism. Cutsews are a basic staple of the fashion particularly to the daily wearer. If someone's wants to wear their band shirt with lolita it seems only logical to have it turned in to a cutsew and steer them towards a more punk outfit.

This is one of the best punk lolitas I've seen. Though I've never been much of a fan of the style. Admittedly, I probably only like it because it lacks the usual punk elements like fishnets and plaid and random-mess which I'm not a fan of.

>If you like it just wear it, why so insistent on getting group validation?
A lot of newbies are attracted to this and other street fashion because they perceive it as a pure, unrestricted form of self-expression as opposed to something that is well-defined and *gasp!* has actual rules. When they put together a coordinate, they do it to try and experience an unrestricted expression of self that they perceive is only limited by their budget (as opposed to their coordinating skills or actual understanding of the fashion). That's why they get so defensive when someone insults their shoddy coordinating skills and why they're so quick to call "brandwhore"; they can't see any reason for someone to criticize their coordinate beyond the fact that it's not "100% brand" or a "full set" and therefore dismiss the criticism as an attack on their wallet instead of on their ability to recognize and create a true lolita coordinate. The worst of the worst itas are those who never crawl out of this immature mindset and continue trying to inject themselves into the community despite not fully understanding what lolita is, but they're also the most fun to laugh at imo.

I'm not to well informed about old school, but I recently had a post coming up my dash a few times about old school lolitas complaining how back then you could be more rad and clash colors and wear it mire individualistic.

just like today, there where the established trends and the old school styles.

The only difference was that back then, the older styles where not seen as ita or wrong and that allowed for more leeway. Unlike today's girls who seem to think lolita as it is right this very moment is the only kind of lolita and older version are ita. Lolita's have been matching since right around 04/05 but that doesn't mean that not 'matching' stopped being done all together and was seen as wrong.

The Matchy lolita of back then is still different and seen as old school by today's standard however.

Hardly. The only people who think that are the teenage newfags and nobody really takes their opinion seriously.

I feel like itas take this and try to use it to explain their shitty choices, though. Like, yeah, you used to be able to get away with wearing black shoes with old school sweet, because that was pretty much your only choice. It looks dumb with modern sweet because now we DO have various shoe colours to choose from. A lot of the iconic looks from old school comes from the fact that they were just making do with what they had, which wasn't a lot.

even back at the start people were wearing natural coloured (sometimes ringlet) wigs or their natural hair. Nearly everything you've said is way off.

Compared to the ten thousand colours easily found today, you saw black and perhaps dark brown way more than anything else, especially when you look at Western old school from that time.

Just stop bewfag.

Brand shoes have always come in black, white, pink with sometimes the variation of blue, red or brown.

>I don't think I could ever steal at a con because so many of the vendors are hobbyists that either pour their heart into making the stuff, or it's their dream to be a vendor.

THIS.
People seem to forget that we are small businesses and the profit margin on items is pretty tiny plus you also have to cover the cost of the booth. If you really must steal then take things from big businesses where the loss hits them less. Even Tokyo Toys are still a small business but I don't deny they are dicks haha

I have zero problem with calling security over and having them search peoples bags, I will call the police and press charges too even if the item is only tiny. I think the best way to prevent stealing is to name and shame them within the community though because being branded a thief teaches people a lesson they won't easily forget.

They were offered, yes, but still nowhere near as common as you're trying to make it out to be. There's a reason most people think of big black clunkers when they hear old school. I'd drag out my Keras and scan them if I could find them.

Where are you getting this from?

White shoes exsited in the western comm. And dying your shoes to match was pretty common too. They wheren't wearing black because they had nothing better, they where wearing it because it looks good and back then we where more about coordinating than always matching. Black shoes look good, with damn near everything, match it to your bag and you're good it's just basic fashion.

Then clearly you aren't a very good lolita.

Guys, I like punk loli, but this is just a terrible example of it. I don't know if it's a samefag or if there really are multiple people in this thread who think that coords acceptable (I've noticed more and more ita seagulls this past year or two, so I could believe the latter, sadly) but it just isn't. I agree it's not the worst example of ita, but it's still ita.

NOPE. If you're wearing pastel vomit AP shit with no black in it, having black accessories will look pretty bad. That "black goes with everything" idea is a HUGE generalization. It goes with most things, but far from everything.

My bad.

Pastel vomit shit didn't excist back then and everything was mostly solid. If there was a print it had two colors in it maaaybe three, so adding black was fine.

But yeah, DONT add black to a coord with a dress that has the whole rainbow on it.

I have caught people stealing at my old retail job about a million times. Once some parents put these little crowns on their children's heads and just walked out the shop so I chased them down the road and made them hand them over in front of other shoppers whilst talking loudly about theft.

I haven't got many good stories form cons unfortunately but I like to shame people if I see them around at other conventions or similar events. "Oh hey! Weren't you the girl who stole from my stall last year?" I like to do this in front of other vendors too so they know to watch out for them.

Sometimes I hope to catch shoplifters because I know that this is unlikely to be the first time they've done it and not every vendor is good at spotting them.

Most commonly it's girls around the 13-15 age bracket and more often than not they are in Homestuck cosplay

My first time selling at cons, I had actually been lurking cgl and saw how people liked to lift at cons.
I took precautions when I set up my both.
My keychains were clipped to a little wire display shelf, and they couldn't very easily be removed without the person being noticed.
Had someone try to casually lift a plushie from the corner of the table and walk away all sneaky-like, only to be stopped when I heard the "CLINK!", as part of the ribbon I tied on its neck for decoration was also attached to the table leg with little nylon rope. They tried to play it off like they were just trying to examine it, but, fuck, I saw them trying to brush it off the table and into their bag. Gave them the stick eye and they left in a fucking hurry.

Same with the keychains, sometimes, though. A couple people darn near took the whole display shelf with them because they didn't realize they were clipped on and thought they were just sitting on the shelf.

Seriously, don't steal from the little guys. I dunno about mass-produced stuff being sold and/or overpriced at cons, but don't take handmade stuff.
It just sucks.

At least the black is balanced (head, top, legs) and all the pink items are the same shade, I've seen far worse. Maybe I'm just too old school, but I think as long as you add 3 or more black items and keep things balanced it will look okay.

You should report them to the other vendors when they do this. Although they haven't stolen anything from your stall it is 100% likely they will steal something during the day from less secure booths. You can report them to security too but you need to catch them nicking something for their bags to be searched.

The style has been around since the 70's and 80's People have been calling it Lolita in Japan since the 80's and early 90's the style wasn't just born in 98 or early 2000. Am I reading your comment wrong or something?
