Myths of Our Own

[Anonymous No.9969255]

As the 25th approaches, what's everyone planning to wear?

Have you sorted your outfit or are you still looking at your wardrobe and coming up with nothing?
Who's going, who do you know who's going, and what are your plans? What's your myth?

Also, do you think the organisers thought that the event title would spell out MOOO?

[Anonymous No.9969271]

Very unhappy they announced the afterparty way after all sensible internationals have already bought tickets home. I would have stayed an extra night if I had known about it two months ago. Does anyone know of any unofficial afterparties happening on the night of the event?

[Anonymous No.9969296]

I'm not able to go but I'm looking forward to hearing all about it

[Anonymous No.9969319]

>>9969271
Agreed, I was pretty disappointed too. I totally could have stayed an extra night and I would have, but no. Maybe if there's enough of us, we could have an unofficial afterparty somewhere?

[Anonymous No.9969634]

>>9969255
I have no idea what to wear, don’t think I own anything I can squeeze into the theme and nothing I own is very OTT

[Anonymous No.9969722]

>>9969634
I'm not going OTT either. Wearing OTT would mean more photos and more compliments, sure, but it's not necessary! I have a list of easy coord concepts I put together for myself, would it be helpful if I posted them here?

[Anonymous No.9969775]

>>9969722
Oh wow that would be great! I’d love to hear what ideas everyone has been knocking around

[Anonymous No.9972477]

How many people do you think will do an outfit change between the different parts of the event?

I'm doing two coords, which has meant buying extra hold luggage for the flight.

[Anonymous No.9973017]

>>9972477
Initially I thought most out-of-towners would be wearing two outfits, but now I think it might make more sense not to. People will probably hang out or take photos during the in between period and I might miss that if I go to change

[Anonymous No.9973746]

>>9972477
I was tempted to do two but to be honest it would just be a lot of effort to go change when I could take some photos and hang out with people instead. Might see if I can add more makeup, change small details for the 2nd half.

[Anonymous No.9977081]

Well that was fun!

I think they pulled off a cracking event, how did everyone else find it?

[Anonymous No.9977112]

>>9977081
Thought it was excellent. Nunu was so lovely. I wasn't fond of the 1st venue though

[Anonymous No.9977867]

>>9977112
what was wrong with the venue?

[Anonymous No.9978024]

>>9977867
Nayrt, but there wasn't much vegan options. I also had a staff member tell me a packet of biscuits was vegan, only for me to check the label after eating to find that they were not. Also thought they could have brought out more water.

[Anonymous No.9978026]

>>9978024
Not the organisers fault by the way, they were great.

[Anonymous No.9978131]

>>9978024
Have you considered not having a stick up your ass? You have a special diet. It is not the rest of the world's responsibility to cater to that. I have dietary restrictions and I always check ahead with the venue to see what they offer. If they cannot accommodate me, I just get permission to bring my own meal. It's so simple.

[Anonymous No.9978137]

Myths was amazing, I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The coord contest winners were well deserved. Who wants to post pics of their faves?

Because you were one of them?

[Anonymous No.9978180]

>>9978024
I'm really sorry about the way the first venue treated our vegan guests.

I was PROPERLY annoyed when we approached the manager and asked if he could provide a few extra sandwiches, and he told me "[The Venue] doesn't normally carry suitable ingredients for vegans, like vegan bread."
I don't think he knew (a) the difference between vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free, because standard issue storebought and catering bread IS vegan,
or (b) I'd know that because I was one of the people who requested vegan options in advance.

We did our best to rectify the accident, and all we can do is apologize and know to exaggerate our numbers for next time.

>>9978131
Ah don't be like that, they notified us in advance. And it's everybody's event, everybody gets to eat.

[Anonymous No.9978184]

>>9969255
Really disappointed with the first half of the event, loads of gaps with nothing to do, not much engagement between the guests / organisers and attendees.

Buffet was pretty naff and limited too.

[Anonymous No.9978208]

>>9978184
Were we at the same event anon? Because I probably did the most interacting during the morning part and it looked like that was the case for most people.

I really liked the venue for that reason, it being more open plan than other tea party venues made it easier to walk around and talk to each other between eating and games.

[Anonymous No.9978360]

>>9978131
I accept that, however what really upset me was what happened with biscuits. As well that we were told that special dietary considerations would be catered for. I wasn't expecting 5 course Michelin star but something more than what we got.

[Anonymous No.9978362]

>>9978160
Not at all. I'm not even from Ireland.

[Anonymous No.9978364]

>>9978184
I would have liked it to be a bit more streamlined, so less gaps with a bit more group activity like a table quiz instead of the individual quiz or some sort of icebreaker.

[Anonymous No.9978466]

>>9978137
Who won?

[Anonymous No.9978469]

>>9978137
Hard to pick favorites when there were so many great outfits but I also thought the winners of the first coord contest were well deserved and the prize being a drawing of themselves by Nunu was much more interesting and memorable than a usual prize like an accessory would have been

[Anonymous No.9978477]

>>9978469
There were people I would have liked to have seen in the second coord contest who didn't enter, and some who entered that I thought shouldn't have.

[Anonymous No.9978481]

>>9978477
I think the contest element may have turned some people off and there were some girls who may have skipped it because their English wasn't great. A more open mic style "come tell us all your myth" or just passing the mic around the audience may have been better to hear everyone's stories. But I suppose that would have taken ages... I really enjoyed hearing most of the ones who joined the contest, I hope next time more will be brave enough to share.

[Anonymous No.9978486]

>>9977112
I thought the first venue was really pretty. I'm amazed they managed to find such a decent place after the Pope stole their original one.
>Never thought I'd be able to say "the Pope fucked over a lolita event" but here we are

[Anonymous No.9978491]

Did Nunu's lost/stolen dresses ever turn up?

[Anonymous No.9978648]

>>9978184
I don't think that one was too bad, I do wish they had something savoury for the second part though, I was starving.

[Anonymous No.9978831]

I really enjoyed the events. Especially the 2nd part, as the cocktails were great. Only wish that I didn't have to go upstairs to get them.

[Anonymous No.9978843]

>>9978831
Aww, I missed out. I didn't buy any because they were very expensive, but now I wish I had.

[Anonymous No.9978858]

>>9978843
I mostly got the daquiris but there was one that tasted like tiramisu and I'm upset that I didn't just stick to that. The daquiris were nice but the tiramisu one was much nicer.

I will say though they were quite expensive, nice but dear.

[Anonymous No.9978955]

First venue was a bit lacklustre, I was hoping for some afternoon tea especially as it was the more expensive part of the day.

I really did enjoy the second part though, the fashion show was great and everyone seemed more perky and sociable. Drinks were quite expensive but I guess that’s what hotels are.

I wish I’d got to speak to people more though, I feel like everyone stayed in their own comms.

[Anonymous No.9978977]

Had a really great time, loved seeing how many internationals made the effort to come. Everyone was friendly, and aside from the missing haenuli box, no drama at all. Hope they do more events like it.

[Anonymous No.9980247]

>>9980223
>>9980245
Also same. I know my outfit was imperfect, I can see the flaws, but I'm still happy with it. Also it would just be reposted without the myth which would remove a lot of the context.

[Anonymous No.9980426]

>>9980247
Yeah that is similar to my 1st coord. Without context it looked like lots of random religious/ott/spoopy stuff thrown together but each element was symbolic to my choice.
