Shit

Just the hijab lolita stuff. Someone won't let it drop and has to make a point of saying it was her idea first.

Fuck that noise. Last years event was a dissapointment.


Been thinking of approaching some of the anime cons that always try and fail with lolita, to offer to help with that part of a con as they always flop.

This is a joke, right?

Anyway, I've never been to a lolita event before. I bought a silver ticket for regalia, got my train tickets, have my outfit which makes me feel under dressed. What should I be expecting from Regalia? Honestly I was hoping they'd have more I guess panels isn't the right word, but presentations. I mean yeah, there's the fashion show, but it would have been interesting to have had a tea tasting session or some other sort of fun lifestyle activity.

I feel like all Regalia is being made out to be is some huge lolita social gathering where you can buy stuff and watch people parade on a make-shift catwalk in Innocent World and whatever other garbage indie fashions they embarrassingly throw up there i comparison.

I wouldn't have minded so much if I was part of a community and was meeting up with friends, but god, it just seems like an expensive shopping trip so far.

>> No.8562193

>>8561364
Lmao it wasn't a joke. Kyra, Michaela and Pippa are amazing organisers and they cause 0 drama. We get some shit stirrers, but our full blown drama isn't even full blown. We keep things private when they need to be kept private.

Granted I am biased because I've never been part of any other comm and I have no time for that Northern drama, which in my opinion really isn't drama and is just some bored members trying to spark something.

But yeah, imho UK comm is the best.

Also wtf were you expecting Regalia to be? A full blown convention? Trust me when I say you'll be kept busy all day. There's so much shit going on this year it's unbelievable. The thing that angers me about what you've posted is that you're judging it before anything has happened. You've never been to a Tea Party Club event before, so what are you going by?

Regalia is going to be a lolita social gathering where you can buy stuff and watch people parade on a make-shift catwalk. There's also a raffle, a photo booth, and a q+a with brand designers and more. If that's not what you want they why did you buy a ticket?

Seriously you have nothing to complain about yet, so just wait until the 5th Septemeber and if it blows then you can post shit about it.

I'm going by the reviews of the previous ones that were mostly a flop. I'd like an event that keeps you occupied, a fashion show and q+a isn't going to last all day and the event is on for quite a while. It's not gonna take me 6+ hours or whatever to get around all the stalls. The only reason people stay is to see the results of the raffle at the end. If you think a photo booth is gonna save the event, nah. You're wrong.

I'm like 99% sure you're one of the organisers.

Having been to Revelry last year and getting the IW announcement on the Sunday, I and I think a lot of other people were all amped up for Regalia. I was also there for that hellish ticket scramble in the first hour where the site crashed.

I got a silver ticket last year and this year and have to say, I'm happy with what the extra cash gets you - a little bit of TPC and burando swag and I'm happy! Also the tote bags are great for the shopping portion of the day.

I'm not happy at the lack of tea party tickets available for the Sunday though. For me that's a huge part of the weekend and especially with IW's involvement I was keen to go. Luck of the draw I guess, depending on what people had in their carts when the server crashed. But Revelry was good fun last year, though I agree the day can start to feel a bit long with all the gaps in the schedule. Make up for it by socialising with the other guests, that's my advice!

I've been to several events by tpc and while I wasn't 100% satisfied (let's be real, no event on earyh will be) and they kept having ticket sales issues every year, but your post made me angry like >>8562193 because you're being very unfair.

The past events had less activities and I didn't even have enough time to watch the shows, see all the stalls, talk to all the girls I wanted to talk to and take photos. Like anon above said, it's a social gathering & shopping event. People spend their time shopping AND talk/catch up with others. If they don't know anyone beforehand, they simply go talk to others and make friends.

YOu don't sound like a fan of IW nor any of the indie brands, I thought I'd ask why didn't you get bronze ticket to cut your regalia time by a whole hour, then realised you're probably better off sray at home and go on instagram.

Wow I can't believe there's someone like you actually in the NW comm. Your cunt is just filled with salt, anon-chan. Anni is the only one who has actually put time, effort and money into meets since she came back and restarted the comm 8 months ago, which was badly run and barely functioning. She makes sure everything is running smoothly and always tries to make it a good experience for everyone who goes to meets. All the other members sit around doing fuck all, so you have 4 months to pull your weight and actually help out if you're so desperate for a shitty award which most members see as an acknowledgement of Anni'd hard work. You're either one of the people who doesn't even attend the meets, one of the girls who just shows up and doesn't need to do anything, or either of the other two admins who do barely anything. Get it through your brain, Anni is the only person who actually does anything with the comm. No one's stopped you from doing anything before this, so shut your whore mouth and stop complaining.

I've gone to every one of these teaparties and I've modeled in two of them which was pretty fun. I've applied again for this year but I've gained weight due to some stress so I don't know if I'll get picked for anything.

There's definitely some aspects that I think are 'eh' but overall most of the events are quite fun. For the past couple of years I've been working weekends so I actually don't get to go to meets often so I enjoy having one big main meet to attend. If you're not there to socialize and shop then I don't know why you'd even bother buying a ticket.

I think generally speaking the UK is a good place to be a lolita as the comms are pretty chill (well, you never really hear of any big drama blowups so I assume most people are chill. They are in my comm at least).

If there is any new UK drama I'm unaware of it.

I'm going to Regalia but I'm not particularly hyped for it. I think the novelty of these big events has worn off a bit for me. Perhaps a bit of a controversial comment but I find a lot of the European lolitas who travel in for the UK events ruin the atmosphere a bit e.g. chucking and snatching clothes at the bring and buy, barging people out of the way, giving people dirty looks, looking angry if you so much as say hi... I thought it was just me but a lot of my friends experienced similar things at past events. Maybe a cultural thing?
Still, I'm looking forward to chatting to friends I don't get to see very often and doing a bit of shopping.

I'm really just failing to understand why you bought a ticket, when it sounds like you don't even want to go.

She's probably well aware of Lauren's past and was cautious with L's side of the story.

She's friends with Lauren, the same way she's friends with many people in the comm. She probably talks to her now and again, but they're not close like her and Michaela are. I'm speculating though, so this could not be true.

What I do know is that Lauren told Kyra her side of the story, and felt that what Lauren said must have rang somewhat true as Kyra then defended her.

I also know that some members of the Leeds comm can confirm that the initial girl to get banned from CoF was partaking in some form of bullying, and I've heard that Fahr was too, but I don't know for sure that Fahr was.

Anyway, either Kyra made a really bad decision, which is pretty unheard of for her, or Lauren's story had some truth to it.

Honestly I only know half the story as I've been told by other people. About 2 years ago there was some drama involving various people, which was brought up again for some reason and caused a huge shit storm on btb TWO YEARS LATER.
The comm was passed on to new mods just before the drama resurfaced so they basically went fuck this and started a whole new comm and it's been pretty chill since then. Honestly I hope answering this doesn't bring it all back up because I moved from the old comm and I can't be bothered with drama and people only started coming to meets when they thought it had passed.

What makes you think she went bankrupt? In December she won an award fro small business of the year in the town where she lives and was given the opportunity to open a physical store, but turned it down. She was awarded grants from the Scottish Business Enterprise, but declined them. I've seen the emails she got from event organisers in Spain, Finnland, etc, asking her if she's like to have a stand there. She turned them all down. I know that she still receives 4 or 5 messages a week from people asking her for commissions, and she tells them all that she has quit. Her brand was doing well, and she was making reasonable money from it, considering she was only 19 and had never ran a business before.

I don't think she had even gone to a meet in months. If you want someone out of the comm because you personally don't like them, that's on you, but the least they could do would have been to be honest about that, rather than ban her out of the blue and claim she'd been doing shit on here.

She didn't do anything in the last year she was in the community because she didn't attend a meet. So of course there wasn't going to be much drama. Most of the comm said the reason Raine got kicked out was because the atmosphere became unbearable, so as far as I know it was better to kick her out than for everybody (including Raine) to be miserable. I agree the situation wasn't handled that great but what I do know is the group hasn't had any issues since Raine left. My point is that just because the group had problems with Raine (who had history with other comms) it doesn't mean that others will. We are pretty happy with how the comm is at the moment so perhaps we all just need to move on. As for the person who told us about her posting on here, she has left the group now so I don't know what is going on there.

And in case you think it's Sin or Fahr samefagging, I can show you proof salty vendetta-chan. You're probably Laelette samefagging since you're a cunt and literally no one likes you and the other Scottish bitches who lick your ass.

Please do everyone a favour and just die.

I agree that if one person is causing awkwardness in the comm, it's better for them to leave/be removed, but it needs to be handled better than what actually happened- someone who had personal beef with her became an admin of the facebook page, banned Raine immediately because wow some people can't handle the tiniest taste of Facebook power I guess, and then the other people in charge went oh well, we don't like her anyway. I would be very interested to know who that admin was, I have my suspicions, and one of the potential candidates is a hell of a lot more of a problem child than Raine ever was when it comes to unwarranted aggression and vendettas.

Yo man I appreciate the gesture, but it doesn't do anybody any favours to defend people by telling them to go drink bleach and stuff. They're just gonna keep telling lies, don't give them any more fuel.

This is exactly what I was trying to tell that mental samefag yesterday. You can definitely go too far when it comes to whiteknighting.

Incorrect. One of the current admins banned her

Well, I don't know who is and is not an admin of the group currently, I have no involvement with it, but I know that is what I was told by one of the admins at the time.

There been two, the first one was a disaster until the ban, then got alright, then left loli to become a furry and returned to being a train wreck, the second ditched them when they realized they were ita as fuck and is doing okay now.

Not sure if your talking about blood or the first trans girl, but accurately describes both, In an old Hyper Japan thread someone described the foul funk coming off them in disturbingly accurate detail.

Sorry to interrupt your investigation, Sherlock, but I think it's time for you to move on and find peace.

Is the mod of South West Facebook page, who moved to Oxford? I'm guessing it's her

That would be me and no I did not become an Oxford admin and ban anyone. I have never been made an admin.
