/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Overall my weekend was good aside from my bus breaking down 10 minutes from Garnett station's Greyhound stop. Leaking coolant, multiple broken belts and the driver telling us "Not to panic, we'll have another bus sent to get you in 30 minutes." It took two hours and even then they couldn't let us off since we were on the highway so we they had to drive the bus to the next exit. My arrival time was supposed to be 10:30pm and at the hotel by 11:30pm. I didn't get to the hotel until after 2am.

Did anyone get a better picture of the Golden Boy cosplayer?

Any info on the Homestuck shit? I heard about grafitti on the bathroom walls and they actually smeared real shit as well? I can't find the thread about it on the AWA group fanpage but I remember there being pictures.

Can we just start photodumping already or

here's a pic from the tea party, our table was hilarious. the tea was Stash brand bags from Target and we couldn't get hot water for the life of us so we spent the time talking shit, 10/10 best tea party yet. Two of our girls won the raffle and got dress sets, it was awesome.

On the tea party itself, it was very well attended. Pretty much everyone wore Baby or AatP, though I know one girl wore AP and another wore Infanta so idk, let them live in shame. We had time to talk to the designer and managers so it was cool, and also they had some neat photo areas. They raffled off stationary, dress sets and some accessories, and it was quite a lot. The girl who won best dressed was very lovely, though apparently the theme was 'southern belle'? I honestly didn't understand that from the ticket but whatever. The food was ok, though the desserts were all super heavy. My biggets issue was the goddamn tea being bags, and us never getting another round of hot water until someone got up and grabbed some. There wasn't even enough bags for another round, but Andrea assured us that that 'they were good for more then one cup'. I got up and got more of those as well.

We all got key necklaces as our gift, in either silver or gold. All in all it was a nice time, though I think most of that was from the quality of the conversation at my table.

>>7848121

YES YES YES YES YOU FUCKING CAN LETS GET WITH IT ALREADY

>>7848140

Same cosplayer with her little girl along; and a very clever approach to cosplaying a mermaid.

>>7848138
Oh god, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was annoyed by the actual tea. Those bags were not good for another fucking steep, I don't know what was going on with that.

Like you though, I enjoyed the socialization aspect with both the designers and my table. But I probably wouldn't attend another brand tea at a con in the future. I could have taken my $75 dollars and purchased some things from the outlet sale page, which I'm pretty sure is the product that was raffled off.

I honestly did have a good time though with the girls at my table, but I also had a similarly good time at the J-fashion social, and that was free.

>>7848138
I really wanted nicer tea as well! I liked the food, though, especially the scones/biscuits.

Everyone was dressed so well and looked great. Did anyone else see the Chii cosplayer trying to get in at the beginning? I was so worried that she had a ticket omfg..

mein kids
was there saturday, lemmie know if any of you guys saw them

>>7848176
The scones and biscuits were good.

>>7848171
Did anyone get a good look at what the full set items were? I know someone got a sailor OP, but I remember getting a glance at something that looked like the Sister Maria's OP but I'm probably wrong.

>>7848176
Yeah the Chii and the girl in the Tardis skirt thought you could buy tickets there, and that it was like the maid cafe. Feel bad for them but also laughing pretty hard.

>>7848171
I agree it was stuff they couldn't sell, but still nice of them to raffle so much stuff. The chance at winning was pretty cool. I guess if I knew my friends had tickets I would go, although like you I'm pretty meh.

I'm pretty sure they weren't allowed to use outside hotel food since it was an official con event- that would explain the decent food and shitty tea. If I go to another I'll know to bring my own kettle, pot and tea because It was absolutely fucking stupid I couldn't get more then two cups of hot water.

>>7848171
Another tea party attendee here. I was particularly impressed with how well dressed everyone was and how they had the designer and Rin to go table-to-table to get to know guests. It was more personal than a free for all and the post cards that they gave us to have them sign after pictures was cute. I also loved the sandwiches, but the deserts were so heavy and just...a bit too rich.
With that being said, next year they could definitely have pre-steeped actual tea pots.
I feel like it was worth the price just because it helped pay for btssb to come. Thier contact and translator did a phenomenal job and the booth sold very well from the looks of it!

We sent Kuma around to capture the beauty of the event.

>>7848192

>>7848138
The tea wasn't really bad, but there wasn't enough sugar at my table at least. Only a couple of packets of real sugar mixed in with a ton of Sweet N Low and Splenda, and I just don't drink fake sugar because the taste is too bad.

I was super impressed with the fashion show, except for one indie designer that was so bad that I heard audible gasps from the audience. It was literally thrift store shit and I heard that half of her models bailed for obvious reasons. Like damn.

>>7848185
I know for sure there are some pics of three of the sets, but apparently the fourth girl grabbed her shit and ran. Pretty uncool to me, but idk maybe she had a flight or something I can't really judge.

Did everyone get the key necklaces? I got two on accident LOL

Sorry for the bitten into sammich, but the deserts looked a lot better than they tasted. The flavor was just too damn much all around.

>>7848209

I was at the tea as well. I loved my table, and like everyone has said the designer and Rin were super nice. I loved that they gave everyone a post card that they signed later. But honestly, the tea party was not worth $75. Everyone got maybe 2 tea bags, and some tiny tea sandwiches and scones and lemon bars/brownies. It wasn't great. Andrea really dropped the ball on a lot of stuff. She didn't tell anyone about the theme and then had the NERVE to act like we all should have brought gifts for the Baby people when she never said shit about it. It was really embarrassing for those of us who didn't bring anything. It was just yet another thing she messed up for the rest of us. I was also a model for the baby fashion show and she kept disappearing and I heard she was terrible to the indie designers and their models.

OH AND THE FASHION SHOW OH MY GOD DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT HORROR SHOW?? I don't even know the designer's name but there was one woman who's "brand" was such garbage it hurt to look at it. Those poor models will probably never recover from the hideous trauma. When she came backstage I thought someone let a homeless person in. Seriously if anyone has pictures let me see. I don't know how Andrea thought it would be okay to let her into the fashion show it was such an embarrassment.

Other than that though the fashion show was great. Everyone from baby really helped us all get ready, stay calm, and know what we needed to do.

>>7848233
>She didn't tell anyone about the theme and then had the NERVE to act like we all should have brought gifts for the Baby people when she never said shit about it.

You sound unnecessarily angry. The theme was mentioned on the site if you had read the description of the event. It might have not been blatantly stated, but it was alluded to. As far as the gifts go, I didn't get that it was *expected* to bring gifts, but maybe since I'm not part of ATL comm there is some drama I'm unaware of?

>>7848205
I had to leave early and couldn't get one. Are you selling any??

>>7848270
>I had to leave early and couldn't get one.

This breaks my heart. If they had put the gifts out at the beginning this wouldn't have happened.

>tfw the putumayo tea party last year was better.

>>7848233
Did you read the information about the event when you purchased your ticket? I saw the theme listed when I bought mine.

>>7848277
Was a different person in charge?

>>7848233
Oh my GOD the fashion show LET ME TELL YOU A THING

I was with an indie that chose not to use the hair and makeup people the fashion show provided. We thought it would be easier and faster if not everyone was rushing for face and hair. WELL, because we didn't use the people, Andrea said we couldn't stay in the dressing room. She made us go to the bathroom down the hall and do everything. She even got mad every time we even stepped into the damn changing room to put stuff away and shit.

I don't even fucking understand what the logic was, but i'm still pissed.

>>7848270

I could absolutely sell you one, though idk how much they're worth. Does anyone know? I can't find anything on them.

I have the gold and the silver, anon, did you have a preference?

>>7848138
I understand people saying that it was clear from the name but it was never mentioned anywhere that there was a southern bell theme. I just thought someone had picked a name randomly.

>>7848209
The desserts were the least tasty food of it all. I loved the tea flavors but I would have liked decaf tea so I wasn't so jittery all night from the late tea.

>Join us on Sunday at 4 PM in the Galleria for a delightful and tasty event with Baby, the Stars Shine Bright fashion designer Masumi Kano. The theme is “Belle Charmante Après-midi” which combines the charm and beauty of the south with the elegance, grace and sophistication of BTSSB

The theme was even stated directly on the Fashion page of AWA's official site.

>>7848263
Naming the event Belle Charmante Après-midi doesn't in any get across that we were supposed to dress to a theme.

>>7848233
>Andrea really dropped the ball on a lot of stuff

big motherfucking surprise, shes a trainwreck

>>7848293
As someone who took two which seems scummy you should probably just give one to the other anon for the price of shipping.

>>7848348
“Belle Charmante Après-midi” - 'Beautiful Lovely Afternoon'

I didn't get 'southern belle' from that, I got 'this is a tea party in the afternoon'.

>>7848293
The gold one, if you don't prefer it. I'm open to whatever you think is fair.

>>7848348
At the Jan tea they always make a huge fucking point of explaining that were supposed to dress to a theme. that didnt happen here at all.

>>7848358
>combines the charm and beauty of the south with the elegance, grace and sophistication of BTSSB

Did you not read the second part of the sentence explaining what they meant by it on the page? I think they would have been better off saying the theme is 'southern belle' more directly, but it's still relatively clear.

>>7848373
It's awesome that you understood it but 90% of the people at the event had no idea there was a theme and an outfit contest associated with matching the theme.

>>7848382
stop being butthurt that you didn't win. you sound so spoiled.

What was the coord winner prize? Did she also receive a set? I forgot.

>>7848382

>>7848387
She got a set too, the same type of dress that didn't sell from last seasons. It came with a cardigan and some wristcuffs, I think?

>>7848201
>>7848233
I am good friends with some of the girls on staff and they said that all of them begged Andrea to not let that girl in the show but in the end she let her walk because she "didn't want to cause drama". Are you kidding?? Letting her walk caused a shit ton of drama and no one would have even known if she didn't let her in the show. People around me were laughing when she came out on stage.
Also I saw that Andrea was sitting out in the audience during the show. I heard that one of the Baby models barely made it on stage in time. She should have been back there helping them. Apparently right after the show she went to lunch with "some girlfriends teehee" instead of staying to help Baby break down and put everything away. I know for a fact that some of the Baby staff is less than thrilled with her involvement.

I would like to help out next year but only if they pick a different director who is willing to work just as hard as everyone else on staff. Being a director doesn't mean you just get to delegate work and then sit back and enjoy the show. It means getting your hands dirty and helping every step of the way. It seems like she's pretty oblivious/delusional in that regard.

>>7843256
OI YOU. STRIKE WITCHES QUEST WHEN?
YUME NIKKI QUEST IS OVER YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE.

>>7848386
I wouldn't have dressed to match anyway, my coord was set months in advance. I just felt badly for some of my friends who didn't realize and wish they had known for a chance in the contest.

>>7848414

THIS. Andrea loves to run events but she does a poor job. They need to stop letting her direct.

>>7848386
yeah I do not even care about the contests. i dont know about the rest of you guys but I dress for me, not to impress others. even if others are designers.

I'm glad for the girl who won, she had a very subdued aesthetic that was very attractive.

>>7848464
Her outfit was beautiful, and I think it really suits what Baby has been doing lately. It was a perfect choice for the win.

>>7848138
Second from the end on the right.. Her face looks really out of place in an otherwise perfect picture. Anon you should be a good friend and teach her how to make up.

>>7848138
pics of best dressed?

>>7848562
She never ever wears makeup and always looks ita as hell

>>7848284
I heard about this! I was helping with the fashion show and am so embarrassed by the way she treated you guys. If I had known this was going on I would have tried to do something but I was mostly stuck backstage and only heard about it from one of the models after the show was over. I don't think I'm going to be working with AWA again next year if Andrea is the director. I just don't want to be associated with that type of unprofessional behavior. Not to mention all of the other reasons that have already been stated in this thread.

>>7848601
Why?? She's tiny and asian so she has potential to be adorable. Her friends look so good! They really need to help her.

why did i stay up till 3 am to watch dirty pair?

>>7848414
>Andrea being delusional in regards to the fashion show
She's delusional in every other aspect of her life, so are you really shocked?

>>7848655
She's been in lolita for years and just as a rule is one of those people who refuses to wear makeup. So she's not new and this isn't new info to her.

I heard the group from Baby was really put off by Andrea but I didn't go this year so I didn't see it with my own eyes. If she was flaky about the show that might explain it.

>>7848696
She was also super obnoxious and loud which they didn't like. She also kept shushing people. Like there was one girl backstage during prep who was chattering a lot but it was obvious she was nervous and it wasn't loud or annoying so whatever but Andrea told her to straight up be quiet. It was pretty rude IMO.

>>7848683
>She's delusional in every other aspect of her life
Deets?

>>7848718
idk she's a trans woman who ruined Frill by running off with the money?

>>7848718
On mobile, can't post picsbut you should see her house.

>>7848717
She made the designer and Rin feel extremely uncomfortable. She also only came in the hair and makeup room to tell the girl directing/actually doing something to hurry up and get her shit together when she was actually doing a descent job and everything was on time. I mentally applauded that poor soul when she sassed Andrea for being on her ass, especially since we were behind in the first place because of her poor planning.

>>7848730
Lol that is not true.

I'm looking for pictures of that guy that wears that giant super saiyan hat. He's been doing it for like 5 years with those Burger King Saiyan hair pieces Funimation gave away a while back. He's like THE icon for AWA-con now

So about those pictures?

>>7848758
I doubt you'll find them here. This is an ATL lolita comm bitching/gossip thread now.

>>7848765
Make a separate cosplay pic dump thread. I want to bitch but I also want to see pics so

>>7848749
>She made the designer and Rin feel extremely uncomfortable
In what way?

Anyone know who the lolita working cosplay repair was? She wore CDC on Sat and was hilarious. I think she went to the tea and was Atl comm. She have a tumblr?

>>7848749
I'm curious. How do you know she made Rin uncomfortable? Did she say anything? I saw Andrea at the booth when Rin and Masumi were doing autographs and I got that feeling too. She was talking so fucking loud and spit was flying. She should have been quite and polite instead of gabbing away and trying to steal the spotlight. They should have had a less offensive looking/acting person there. I was so relieved when it was my turn so I didn't have to be around her anymore. I feel so sorry for the Baby staff.

>>7848789
Her name is Holly and I don't think that you want to know her.

>>7848790
You can just tell, honestly. Masumi would gravitate away from her and Rin who is usually very touchy and will lean against girls in pictures and casually adjust small details on their clothes kept at least a foot away.

>>7848794
Now I'm curious. Why?

>>7848789
There are plenty of "Share your Tumblr" threads where you can post it yourself.

>>7848799
>will lean against girls in pictures and casually adjust small details on their clothes
I loved that about Rin, she was so sweet.

>>7848794
What? Holly's the sweetest. What do you have against her?

>>7848813
She was beyond adorable. She hugged me when I said goodbye and I wanted to cry. She also said during the Q&A that it was very becoming of a lolita that we were all fixing our hair and checking each other before the photo.

>>7848789
She doesn't have one.

>>7848805
>>7848818
She's nice to your face, but she's ground zero for some of the most outrageous rumors in the ATL comm, such as certain members being banned who are not and never were banned.

>>7848826
She's never involved in the drama as far as I've seen. It's just her crazy ex girlfriend whos now gone to ruin the Houston comm

>>7848826
Haha for real?

>>7848826
Lol what are you even talking about? The only crazy that's close to her is her ex. Holly's fine.

>>7848749
I think she makes most people uncomfortable. Plastic surgery would really help in this case. I feel like she has the money for it so I don't know why she hasn't done it yet. Chin reduction and rhinoplasty would make a huge difference.

>>7848826
I need you to back this up

>>7848835
>>7848837
Note to other readers: this is an unpopular opinion. These are likely members of Holly's side comm.

>>7848836
Yep.

>>7848850
deets?

>>7848826
Her crazy ex Colleen/Colin had a post about how Holly got her banned. Holly herself didn't try to get her banned and I think went by what Colleen said.

>>inb4 whiteknight; friends with both. Holly doesn't really talk about Colleen much. if she does, she encourages people to make their own opinion.

>>7848846
Back this up how? She talks about them being banned all the time, publicly at lolita events and on anon here.

>>7848850
>Holly's side comm.
Wait what? What even is that? Holly never makes it to 90% of the meets because she's always sick. How is she running a side comm?

>>7848846
That was a diff anon, but pretty much what I was going to say. She's also annoying as hell and publicly brags about how she "doesn't need makeup" while subtly shaming girls who do, when she looks like shit on a stick.

>>7848850
who is in the "side comm"?

>>7848850
She doesn't have a side comm?
Pics, deets if she does?

>>7848858
It's hardly a side comm. I'm in it, I should know.

You're saying she causes huge dramu when the only drama about her was between her and her girlfriend when they split. That seems pretty normal to me.

>>7848850
Fuck off Colleen. Everyone knows Holly is a little weird, but at least she's nice and not a crazy drama mongering bitch like you and Stevie. Stop being an abusive cunt to Holly and move on.

Holly has never been banned in ATL, btw. Nice try.

>>7848862
You know it was more like she didn't know how to do make up? She's getting help from other members in learning.
She was taking pics at the make up panel at AWA, trying to learn. How does she shame people?

>>7848864
>>7848868
>>7848869
The only people running a side comm are Amy's old group who have picked up Andrea and Brittany. They actually have meets. That is a side comm.

>>7848877
Never said Holly was banned. Said Holly publicly claims Colleen is banned.

>>7848883
she never talks about colleen even when asked is my experience

>>7848883
She was probably talking about in the Houston comm.

>>7848883
You know Colleen bitched to Holly about how she was banned, right? That's where Holly got that. Is it not true?

Also, if there is huge dramu around her, why haven't we heard about it before?

>>7848879
Really now? Because it was a completely different story during her ~*natural beauty*~ facebook spiel a few months back.

"huge dramu" that no one's heard about. When Atl does drama, everyone and cgl knows about it.

>>7848880
Amy's group doesn't associate with Andrea or Brittany. As far as I know Andrea doesn't really hang out with anyone from the comm, and Brittany just left and started hanging out with her own friends after Andrea made a shit show of the whole community.

lol all this female drama

>>7848880
I don't think you know what you're talking about. Amy's friends don't hang out with those two at all. Atl in general seems to be pretty dead with hosting meets lately as well.

>>7848891
This! Colleen posted all sorts of shit about being banned. Did she delete it? Not surprising that she would like to gain pity.

>>7848893
Pics? Couldn't find it.
She started wearing make up this year, anyway.

>>7848893
You sure do seem to have a hardon for her, anon.

>>7848897
>implying Brittany was completely innocent in making the comm be a shit show

>>7848897
i thought they were running the tea together. andrea was in charge of lolita at awa but brittany was helping her, right?

>>7848899
That's because the new mods suck, and all of the people who planned stuff don't want to participate in all of the drama here.

Andrea is still planning on having her annual tea though, so good luck with that.

>>7848904
Andrea and Brittany are friends on the DL, I think.

I hate how they were removed as moderators but still run the events at all of the local cons. Which is why I didn't go to any con this year. Sounds like I dodged a bullet.

>>7848880
Amy's old friends have not picked yup Andrea and Brittany.

>>7848734
Please post pics anon.

>>7848891
>You know Colleen bitched to Holly about how she was banned, right? That's where Holly got that. Is it not true?

I did not know that, but it is not true.

>Also, if there is huge dramu around her, why haven't we heard about it before?

It's not huge - it's little and annoying - but someone asked for deets.

>>7848899
>Atl in general seems to be pretty dead with hosting meets lately as well.

it always goes dead in September because there's two cons. Nothing seems to happen in November either. it picks up in december. our comm usually has 2 meets a month.

With all the drama in this thread it's obvious why you guys can't host nice things.

>>7848903
No she wasn't, but she managed to try and make amends for all of the shit that Andrea was constantly doing. No one really had any problems with her until Andrea went off the deep end. And lets face it, Amber is constantly trashing people in public. I'm surprised it took THAT long for them to ban her. A few years ago, the entire comm asked Amber to step down for being a drama mongerer

I just miss having a comm that actually had meets. Even if Andrea and Brittany were awful, the new mods don't plan anything.

>>7848914

See >>7848900
I didn't screenshot it (my bad), but others saw it. Are you sure this isn't vendetta, since you seem to be the only one that has a hardon for her.

>>7848909
It's probably because they are the only ones who actually volunteer to run events. Being a mod has nothing to do with hosting meet ups or events anyway. It's not like they actually have any power.

>>7848919
We host nice things pretty often.
It's pretty obvious that you don't know what you're talking about.

>>7848920
Since when has it been up to the mods to plan meets? It's up to the members.

>>7848919
>With all the drama in this thread it's obvious why you guys can't host nice things.

We have so many normal, calm girls in our comm but no one wants to try and save local events because they'd have to butt heads with the people currently ruining them.

>>7848904
Andrea was the director, but basically stuck Brittany with cleaning up her mess all weekend. It was so obvious that Brittany was just furious with Andrea as she was running around trying to make everything go smoothly.

If they were friends, I don't think they will be after this. Andrea totally dropped the ball at AWA.

>>7848920
>A few years ago, the entire comm asked Amber to step down for being a drama mongerer

Let us never foget

>>7848920
I prefer someone who comes right out and talks trash unapologetically to people who sneak and do it behind everyone's back like brittany and andrea

>>7848920
>I just miss having a comm that actually had meets.

What in the actual fuck are you talking about. There are 4 meetups on the calendar for October.

>>7848928
Honestly, that's why I like Amber. She clearly does not give a fuck.

>>7848927
It was pretty funny to see how all the new lolitas defended her when she finally got banned. Especially that Josh guy. She has said soooo much nasty shit about him at meets. Amber has been a plague on our community for ages, but Brittany didn't even have the balls to make it a permanent.

>>7848933
Amber affectionately talks shit about all of her friends. It's just a thing that she does. Josh is an asshole. It's just a thing that he does. But they're friends. Josh attends Amber's parties regularly and they're cool with each other. And even the older lolitas were outraged with Amber being banned. It wasn't the fact that she was banned, it was the way that Brittany and Andrea went about it. Can people really not see that?

>>7848284
There wasn't supposed to be that many people in the room, It was a tiny space and only the stylist and the people they were working needed to be in there. It was bad planning and Andrea should have either given y'all another room or told you beforehand that you had to get ready elsewhere

>>7848855
Hi Colleen.
She doesn't get on cgl.

>>7848938
Amber just can't keep her mouth shut. Don't be fooled into thinking that it was affectionate. She burns bridges in every community she joins. Anyone remember the drama she started in the Doll community?

>>7848944
What did she do to you to make you so salty, anon?

>>7848293
I'm the anon asking about the necklace. Dropping my email if you'd rather chat that way.

>>7848949
I've been around long enough to remember when she was a mod and all of her crazy power tripping and bullshit. She makes Andrea look like a normal girl. She has driven away so many members of the comm. I don't understand why anyone would stand up for her.

>>7848957
>she makes Andrea look like a normal girl
hahahahahaHAHAHAHA
Come on, get real.

>>7848957
Sad but true.

you dont see amber trying to run events now that shes not a mod though, after frill she hasn't tried to force her way into anything like andrea always does

the comm would be better off without all three of them anyway

Where can I find a comm where people enjoy spending time together without the drama? I'll pack up and move asap

>>7848979
Are you a girl?

>>7848970
She wanted to run the fashion show but the new owner of AWA doesn't really like her very much so instead she had her own consignment booth.

>>Just curious.

What should these people do to be accepted again in Atl com?

>>7848998
I think its too late for them. New people are scared by their reputations and old people dont trust them

It's a shame Andrea was "Director" of the fashion track. She lulled a lot of non-Atlanta girls who were volunteering into thinking she had her shit together and then a lot of those people ended up working over-time to clean up her messes. Crew was so short staffed. Andrea walked around treating them and others involved like they were her grunts to order around. She wasn't there when it was time to do the labor and then stood on the shoulders of those who got their hands dirty.

>>7849010
Andrea is too batshit to be in charge of anything or anyone.

>>7848998
>Be nice and agreeable all the time
>Have a sweet dispostion and temperment
>Don't talk shit ever
>Don't wear your emotions on your sleeve
>Don't be overly controlling if you see that someone capable has a situation under control
>Never lose your cool
>Always be considerate and hyper aware of other people's feelings
>Put the needs of others before yours
>Always be reliable and follow through with obligations
>Basically be as humble and kind as possible

I'm not sure if this is possible since it would mean having a total change of heart and call for some serious introspection.

Btw, the humble part applies especially to the one who has an apartment filled with portraits of them everywhere. It's disturbing. Normal people don't do that.

>>7848925
>We have so many normal, calm girls in our comm but no one wants to try and save local events because they'd have to butt heads with the people currently ruining them.

This makes so much sense. I can understand that with all the pressure quality girls in the business of avoiding drama will not even attempt to manage an event like Frill or the AWA tea party. Who wants to deal with the shit? Someone's always going to complain or judge. It's just a shame because those are pretty much the largest and nicest events the southeastern US had going for it.

14 HOUR DRIVE TO AND FROM MICHIGAN JESUS CHRIST GIT FUK'D

Can someone who was a model for BtSSB post their measurements? I want to try being a model next year but I'm not sure if my size will be desirable.

The fact that the only substantive discussion of the whole con to happen in /cgl/ has been "lolita comm" bitches getting catty about more of their stupid fucking henpecking chick drama has confirmed that /cgl/ isn't a cosplay or conventions board anymore; it's a "bitchy lolita cunt" board.

Where the fuck do I go for an actual cosplay/con community?

>>7849048
It's commonly known that Andrea has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, so that kind of behavior doesn't surprise me at all.

>>7848083
All I saw on Sunday was a grey handprint on a wall in the convention center.

>>7848180
I saw them in the dealers room! They're so adorable. The picture isn't that good though, sorry.

>>7848201
My friend and I attended that and we're not really into lolita but even we were sitting back going "...this can't be lolita. Why is this here?" At least it was just two or three outfits instead of a long parade of it. I really liked the Alice and the Pirates outfits though.

>>7848083
Here you go.

>>7849089
So disgusting, why do people do this? I feel so bad for the people that have to clean that shit up.

>>7849086
Did this person have a booth in the dealers room? I wandered into one with a bunch of ugly thrift store 'lolita'

>>7849108
I saw some on the indie people had booths, mostly that one pretty one that showed off their flower prints in the show, but I don't think I saw the weird cheap-looking fairykei? indie one. I got a few pictures of the fashion show but most came out terrible so I don't have any of them either.

Dumping fashion show pics though.

>>7849114

>>7849116

>>7849120
And last picture.

>>7849067
I didn't do the fashion show this year, but last year the Putumayo models were probably between 30"-36" in the bust, and 24"-30" in the waist. The shortest was maybe 5'3" and the tallest 5'10".

I hope that helps.

/r/ing photos of the trainwreck indie designer
I unfortunately had to miss the fashion show this year.

>>7848205
I'm the fourth girl that had to jet. It was after 6 and I had an eight hour drive ahead of me, and my boyfriend had been waiting for two and a half hours already. Had I known they wanted to get pictures of the sets, I would have stayed longer. I'm sorry!

>>7849171
Nah man I understand, I had to drive back to Florida so the tea party length didn't help. Post a pic now to make up for it though lol

>>7849151
They had some professional looking camera people there so they'll probably post pics on the website or something.

>>7848205
I didn't get one... But I'm messaging Andrea about it, since jfash staff and all.

>>7848690
>just as a rule is one of those people who refuses to wear makeup

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Oh yeah I'll spend hundreds of dollars on clothes and take the time to coordinate my outfit but fuck putting any effort into trying to make my face look nice. What is that logic?

>>7849193

Learning to be comfortable with the skin your stuck with. Iunno, women spend billions a year on makeup just to maintain parity, it's kind of a raw deal.

I kind of feel lucky about how guys don't have to wear makeup to be considered 'decent' in public, sucks that society has built up this expectation for women.

Though there are faggy guys trying to ruin this so fuck them.

>>7849188
Again, they should have put them out at the beginning. It's understandable that some people had to leave before 6 PM, and I'm not sure they were handed out before then.

>>7849183
It's not too bad of a set. The cardigan itself goes for 150 on the website, and the JSK has some nice detailing for being as simple as it is. The blouse I'll definitely find uses for.

>>7849201
Yeah that was my problem. I didn't get a necklace either. The last course wasn't even served until after 530, and the tickets said it was supposed to be over at 6. Not all of the girls there were Atlanta comm members and some of us had pretty far drives.

>>7849067
I was a model for btssb and I'm 33-25-34 5'2"

>>7849201
put them out so dishonest lolis can help themselves.... what a great idea!

>>7849203
Ooh, I really like the items you got! The dress is cute.

>>7849205
>> didn't get a necklace

Y'all should just start harassing Andrea about it if you want it so badly. It's her lack of planning that they weren't given out properly anyway.

>>7848799
Rin picked up my purse and got really excited because it was from the mook, she even tried asking me (in adorable broken english) where I got it, I told her the mook and she leaned over to Masumi and they both started saying "Mook" really excitedly, I'm guessing so I could understand? I have no idea but it was one of the best moments of my life.

>>7849218
It ended up being worth it. All in all the set retails at around ~500 dollars. Paid for the tea party ticket at least. I wish I could have seen the other sets, but I was pushing it staying past six as it was.

These two were the cutest. idc that she's married, I ship them so hard.

>>7849201
Andrea's sending me one, so I'm good! I wasn't there for anything that's being said about her on the thread, so I'm going to refrain from really forming an opinion... But she's been helpful to me so far. I've met her a few times before, and she's talkative, but I've only seen her be nice.
Also, I left at about 6:15ish, so I'm surprised I still didn't get one. Everyone was standing around taking pictures, and I asked one of the staff before I left if I would be missing anything and she told me it was over and I was free to leave. Meh. At least I'm getting a necklace.

>>7849215
Really? There were enough people there that it shouldn't have happened, and people were being seated by staff, it wasn't like it was a fucking free for all.

>>7849239
Of course my phone won't post the pic

I have some pics from the tea party and fashion show. Sorry, I have an iphone 4 so the quality is pretty bad.

>>7849255
I don't know why I took so many pictures of the line. I'll post just one more.

>>7849259
last on-line picture

>>7849262
The tables. Before they got all mussed up from the general setup of the tea party. (They scraped our dishes instead of getting us new ones for each course and sometimes the little skewers got left on our table.)

>>7849266
The deserts, didn't have more than one bite. The flavor was too strong on some, and other tasted rather dry.

>>7849266
No one scraped our dishes at our table?

>>7849271
... Oh. I mean, for deserts we had to dump the sandwich leftovers from our plates onto an extra (the girl left super early) because they didn't come around to give us new plates or even scrape ours.

My best guess is they ran out of plates...? The girls serving us said that they were told probably five minutes before coming out to scrape our plates and not give us new ones. (They seemed put off by it, so something tells me something went down BTS)

>>7849270
Another table pic. (I have more food pics if any of y'all want them?)

>>7849270
The desserts didnt really seem tea appropriate. When I have tea I expect lighter fare like little tarts. Not those heavy desserts.

>>7849277
Once again, totally bad pic, but this is the coord-contest winner. I don't have pics of any of the other winners because my ticket was the first called. Got a stationary set, and even though it wasn't a full coord, I love getting stuff like that since I'd never drop money on those items.

>>7849279
I was thinking the same, too. I hadn't eaten all day due to stress (long story short, I almost got stranded in Atlanta) but I still didn't eat most of the food there just because of flavor/texture. I was super excited for tea foods...

Jesus christ, I come in here expecting to see some cool pictures or things, but all I got was a giant wall of text and replies about some dumbass tea party bullshit. It's an image board god damn it, here's some ebola-chan. Thank you ebola-chan.

>>7849295

Welcome to /cgl/. Its all over.

>>7849283
Onto the fashion show. These are some of the pics on my phone, I took most on my ipad, though. I'll post those whenever I manage to plug it in and import the pics.

>>7849307

>>7849309

>>7849318

>>7849307
Please tell us you got pictures of the homeless looking indie model.

>>7849320

>>7849279
>>7849283
fyi you don't get any more classic "tea sweets" than lemon bars. unless there were real british scones with clotted cream and jam.

>>7849328
Oh, there was clotted cream.

>>7849328
The thing was, I've had good and bad lemon bars, but these tasted... Somehow not like lemons? It looks like a lemon bar, but the taste was really off. I don't mean to complain! Just, overal the foods seemed to be haphazardly picked.

Also, related, I think the sandwiches with the cucumbers used philidelphia cream cheese, because I actually gagged. But I have a personal hatred towards Philidelphia cream cheese, so once again it might have just been me being a picky eater. Or they were pretty bad.

>>7849327

>>7849071

>>7848201
Any pics?

>>7849328
Not that anon, but out of all the things served, only having one is kind of pathetic, especially since it was a brand tea party imho lol.

>>7849354
Alright anon... your shitty pictures aren't needed here. How many blurry pictures do you need to share exactly? Holy FUCK

>>7849363
Since pretty much no one was posting pics, I decided to share what low quality I had.
See >>7849255

Sorry for trying to share pictures. (by the way, I already posted my last one, just forgot to say it was the last one. Your precious eyes have been spared.)

>>7849363
anon-chan if you don't want to look you can always scroll past. It's a difficult art to master but trust me you seem easily annoyed so it'll help you in the future.

>>7849067
modeled at a different BTSSB fashion show and I'm 32.5-25-38, though I guess I was almost too fat

My measurements were 32-26.5-34.5 I modeled for Baby

>>7849089
This is how people get sick.

>>7849363
Get over it, cunt.

>>7849379
Not who you were replying to, but I'm almost your measurements (I have a 34 bust, ngl it's mostly backfat) so you give me hope. If you don't mind, how tall are you?

>>7849070
Didn't we have a con board at some point?
What happened to that?
Being on cgl is suffering.

>>7849411
/con/ was only temporary.

Looking for more pictures of my cousin and I. I found this one on FB.

Remember when I was posting about my ride in the past thread? (And this one a bit)

Well. Ends ups my ride sort of kinda didn't abandon me but pulled a different shitty move. Texted me saying BF was "soooo sick" and she had to take him back to an ER 8 hours away. She texted me that Sunday morning, and only because I texted her asking where to meet to get my luggage in the car. She basically told me to get a new ride on FB and asked if there was anything she could do to help, when I got my bill for the bus I asked her to chip in since I wasn't expecting to shell out an obscene amount of money to get home and she left without telling me. Told me she doesn't "owe me anything" and that I was being demanding, etc.

Found out she never left Atlanta. She sent all those texts pretending to have left Atlanta.
>Never left Atlanta
>Made me believe she abandoned me in another state
>I had to take a 16 hour bus ride and shell out waaaaay too much money to get home
>It should have been 8 hours and $20 for gas
>Acted like it wasn't her fault
>Refuses to respond to me

>>7849457
Unfriend immediately and make little to no contact within the next year.

From all the horror stories I've read on here they will always be like this. Sucks you had to go through all that.

>>7849457
>women
>good friends
>ever
What made you think that a woman wouldn't fuck you over and lie to you?

>>7849457
What >>7849464 said. Cut your losses and run.

>>7849464
Sounds like a plan. I contacted the mods since she offered the ride on the comm page and she's been banned from asking for rides or offering them. The mods are so nice and helpful, if something positive came from this all, it's the fact that now there's actual repercussions set in place so people will be less likely to flake and other girls won't have to go through what I did.

>>7849469
I had figured she was lying, and I was giving her the benefit of the doubt while trying to figure it out (well, until she stopped responding), but I didn't realize she lied THIS much. This is a whole new level of bitch.

>>7849476
It's your fault for trusting a woman at all, and being dependent on her for anything.

I mean, women run from obligation because they don't want to do it as if it's in their nature.

Shoulda take a plane.

>>7849457
But... why? I'm not doubtin you anon and I am seriously upset for you, but it just doesn't make sense. Why would she lie to you about ditching you? Why wouldn't she just, y'know, give you a damn ride that's on her way anyways instead of causing all of this stupid drama and making herself out to be a terrible human being? Hell, even on the selfish side of things she would have gotten some gas money out of you. I just don't get it. Explain anon?

>>7849484
From what I understand, she kept telling me she was going to the tea party and we planned to leave right after getting changed out of our coords. I was curious when I got to the tea party and asked if her name was on the list, and they said no.
So something tells me she didn't know the tea party was a ticketed event, and upon realizing, planned on ditching me to do other stuff/go home early, then decided to stay but wanted to keep up the act? She kinda hinted at the tea party thing before, but I tried to overlook it because everything was just unfolding and she was talking about her BF being sick, but now it seems like that was definitely the case.

Do guys go to the tea party? What do they wear? Is it worth going just to eat and look at cute girls do cute things?q

>>7849428

>>7849504
I think I saw one brolita (I think they were the one in the neon blue wig? I honestly can't remember.) And he was just wearing a coord. I didn't see him much so I can't tell you exactly what, though.
And then I believe there was one guy in boystyle/aristo? My days are mushing and I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the teaparty or the social.

Also as long as you're not being creepy and are dressed well, I don't think anyone would have a problem with you. Whether or not it's worth it is up to you.
(I'm not a dude, btw.)

At the tea party what was the print of the girl in black and pink? The one wearing the bonnet because holy shit that dress was gorgeous.

Could anyone give me a name or link to this cosplayer? Stayed in character real well during the panel.

>>7849219
>Y'all should just start harassing Andrea about it if you want it so badly. It's her lack of planning that they weren't given out properly anyway.

>>7849227
>All in all the set retails at around ~500 dollars
The sets you got, while awesome and cute, are still basically lucky pack items they couldn't sell. So no, they aren't worth the new price tag amount.

>>7848950
Still looking for a necklace, if anyone has one to sell please email me.

>>7849792
See >>7849779

>>7849482
Pol please go

>>7849499

It seems very odd that this happened so 'out of the blue'. There had to be some hints from her in the past.

I've dealt with some cunts and there were always SOME clues of the storm a brewin'.

Also, you guys didn't have some argument or something? Prior to this? It seems weird that she would treat a friend or a random person this terribly.

Maybe you could have slighted her in some way? And you didn't even realize it?

>>7849067
I'm 32/25/34

Most of the models were pretty thin, but height didn't seem to matter, the shortest girl was 5'1'' and the tallest was 5'7''.

Thanks for posting your measurements girls. I fit nicely in the middle to the general range. I wonder what brand will be coming out next year.

>>7849868
I don't know, I'm pretty sure the shortest girl was shorter, maybe even under 5'0. I'm 5'1 myself and I talked to her, and she was definitely a few inches shorter than me. Apparently though she had been applying to other brand fashion shows and kept getting rejected because she was too tiny for them... so 5'1 - 5'6 is probably the ideal, give or take one or two inches.

>>7849854
We had been texting and Facebook messaging for... Over a month? On the topic of rides, etc. but I would say the only hint was that she kept "not seeing my messages" and replying super late at some points. I thought it was annoying but at th time I didn't know it was most likely malaicious.
We weren't the closest of friends or anything, but I assumed that at the very least we were friendly or "buddies".
The texts where she started getting hostile were all after she "left" the con. I try to stay very polite and considerate when I talk to others (well face to face or messaging, it would be futile to say I am ALL the time, since I am complaining on cgl.) I kind of kiss ass too if I know someone is responsible for say... Getting me home.
Honestly I think she just wanted to flake without repercussions, so the fact that I am upset is pissing her off more.

(Sorry for any weird typos I'm on mobile!)

Actually the tallest was 6'1".

I just now remembered I saw a condom on the floor at the rave hahahahah at least they were trying to be safe everyone trying to fuck past 10pm at any con apparently

>>7849886
Ah sorry I couldn't remember the exact numbers ^^' but there were really tiny girls and really tall girls and everyone looked fabulous

Really? Who the heck was that?

Have you actually tried talking to Holly instead of being salty on here? She apologizes if she's wrong and really wants to be a better lolita/person. She also tries to be friends with everyone.

Why not help her not look like shit in a stick? I can pretty much guarantee she has no idea that you feel this way about her.
>>Also if this is a majority opinion, why not kick her out of the comm?

Andrea just put my tea party necklace in the mail, seriously, at least in MY experiences she's been super duper sweet. I kinda hope the things posted on here are just exaggerations.
>>7849792
Seriously, message her if you need help with that.

>>7850140
Oh yeah, she is all sweetness until you end up working for/with her. She is incredibly ambitious at the expense of other people. Andrea has no problem handing out dirty work and then taking credit, which is not how it's supposed to be done. I know that the reason the crew was under staffed and had to recruit outside help (who did not get compensated as far as I am aware) so late in the game is because she didn't want to admit to the con director that she didn't have enough people to start with. She is just too prideful and values networking for her own personal gain too much.

>>7850168
Thank you for your insight, I'm big on using my own experiences, so I'm going to refrain using these posts to form an opinion based on posts here. But, I appreciate the sentiment. I also appreciate that you were pretty civil in your response.

>>7850140
You know that she's reading this and you know that she knows exactly who you are writing this. A- ass kissing guve it a few months

>>7850140
Who paid for shipping?

Did anyone else see Andrea sitting front and center in the audience during the fashion show? So unprofessional.

>>7850434
You mean instead of being backstage helping the show? Yup. She wasn't there for most of set up and she ran off to have lunch during take down. It was awful because any time anyone needed to get a hold of her she wasn't there and wouldn't pick up her phone.

>>7850200
Or maybe I just don't like forming opinions when I don't know if others might be stretching the truth for drama...? I had way too much drama in my old comm, so much I left the comm to be a lone lolita, and I really don't feel like getting involved in something I know nothing about, since I just moved down south. Based on what I've experienced so far? She's been pretty nice to me. Even recognized me from an event we were both at years ago and we talked at.

>>7850341
She felt really bad that there were issues in people getting necklaces and paid for my shipping. I sent the message to her last night and she mailed it this morning.

>>7850441
Indie model here. Dont forget that the two times she DID show up, it was to bitch out the staffers who were working there butts off to try and fix the stupid broken schedule she made up for them, or to harass the indie designers for doing makeup in the designated area. She literally pushed one indie designer out of the way and demanded that they wait to get pictures of their models because she "didn't plan for them to get pictures". WTF? She clearly was on a power trip even though she had no idea what was going on.

I didn't realize it until later, but Andrea was so busy talking to someone that she made all of us models super late for our rehearsal and we barely got to practice before the next group came in to do a sound check. One staffer had to argue with the tech guy and beg them to let us have a little more time to practice because Andrea messed up her own schedule so badly.

>>7850478
>>7850492
Did anyone see this?
tumblr post from : averageontheoutside

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, who is Andrea, does she go by another name online or something that I might recognize?

Are there any pics of her from the convention?

>>7850512
I saw it, but I don't really get it. What happened?

>>7850492
Also the baby models didn't get to practice their finale because they just fucking started letting people in which really sucked.

>>7850545
I was waiting for a stylist when this happened. Basically Andrea kept coming into the room to try and boss everyone around even though the room was running smoothly until she started messing things up. Then Andrea got mad because one of the stylists only brought stuff to do hair, even though Andrea never told her what she was supposed to bring to begin with. That's when Andrea told her she was useless, and that AWA didn't need her. Andrea was really rude to all of the stylists and the girl who was running the room.

>>7850572
That's because Andrea let people in early so she could get her front row seat even though I heard the BtSSB manager lady ask her not to.

>>7850592
Did this happen in front of the Baby guests? That's really embarrassing.

>>7850101
Because that anon is a cunt, that's why.

>>7849295
Thanks ebola chan, I knew you would make it!

>>7849457
You should honestly out her publicly, she should be ashamed of herself.

>>7850600
Yep. She turned it into such a catastrophe. If only she didn't try to run events but she's been on the same power trip for years

>>7850728
I would post her name... But I'd get banned from the comm. Since it seems like she won't be contacting me anytime soon (I'm about to make my last try calling her so we can talk like adults) I contacted the mods of the comm last night. They made a new rule for transportation and the girl is now banned from asking for rides or offering them on the comm page. They didn't mention her name, but everyone knows what happened and can put two and two together.

>>7850728
>>7850749
Also one mod told me they "gave her an earful" so I'm hoping that means they shamed her. They also encouraged her to contact me, but they said she seemed like she didn't care and wasn't even sorry.

Film of the BTSSB Q&A is up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2vlcSF2ZWg

>>7850512
I was another stylist in the room and saw when this happened, The models who needed their hair done had hair to their asses and she worked her butt off, I was SO pissed for her.

>>7850799
Yeah, I was sitting about three feet away. Luckily after that blow up Andrea didn't come back to the room for a while, I overheard the stylist say that someone had chewed Andrea out.
Even backstage after the show, when we were trying to get group pictures of the BTSSB models, some of the other workers wouldn't even go talk to the photog because Andrea was standing there talking to him.

I really feel like BTSSB was put off by her.

>>7850799
Heck, you might have been the stylist that did my make up! Were you rocking some old school music?

>>7850751
SHE PICKED UP. HOLY SHIT SHE ACTUALLY PICKED UP.

She started off with a HUGE attitude sighing as soon as she picked up the phone, calling me rude, saying she owed me nothing (she just kept saying that) and how unreasonable - I'm - being. I stayed calm though, knowing that as soon as I got off the phone I could talk to my mom/friends about it. I managed to get her to agree to paying half, telling her in detail the hell I went through to get back, etc. I let her know that even with half it doesn't cover the difference between what I was going to give her for gas and the bus fare, but if that's as much as she's willing to help, let it be. I knew she wasn't going to try and help me in any significant fashion, but at least I managed to get through to her. Now I'm just waiting for the money to be sent... (If it ever will be sent is the actual question.) Since she promised it to me, I'm not letting it go until I get the money, though.

>>7850809
No i was a bit further down but she said it loud enough for me to hear

>>7850810
You should have recorded the phone conversation, anon, just to cover your ass so she can't say, "I never said that!" Be sure to record any future conversations if it's legal in your state. I'm glad she picked up, though.

>>7849078
Aw thanks
And yeah they would not sit still
I made their costumes before knowing how little they would comply.

I was really surprised to see so many lolitas. I'm used to going to conventions where I'm lucky to see a handful over the whole weekend, not dozens a day. Too bad all I could afford is a Mr.Yan tea party.

>>7849223
I'm so glad for you anon

>>7850874
Then post some pics you took of cosplayers.

>>7850876
but resizing is tedious and tumblr does that for me

I guess I could save them again from uploading them from tumblr but teeeeeediouuuuuuss

>>7850749
Where do lolita comms post rules? On their facebook page?

I don't really get how you can "ban" someone in real life. What happens if someone who is "banned" shows up for an event or something?

Anybody else glade the yaoi panel ended with the fire alarm?

>>7850594
I heard first hand from someone who witnessed this that Andrea just shrugged it off and acted like it was no big deal when the BTSSB manager told her that she shouldn't have let people in until she gave the word. Andrea acted like she didn't care and went back to chatting loudly with the people in the audience around her. She didn't give a fuck about what what was going on backstage, she just wanted her front row seat and to watch the show.

>>7850864
Well the fact that there was a brand tea party sure helped.

>>7850890
On their facebook page, yeah. And I guess that's a fair point, but that typically just doesn't happen.

>>7850867
not salt, truth

>>7850865
Thank you, I'm happy that it seems like things are going to work out.

>>7850890
Yeah the rules are posted on the facebook page. They call it something fancy though.
Uhm, not sure how that'd work, but since pretty much everyone knows what happened I don't think she'd have a good time if she was banned. She's only been banned from offering rides and asking for them on the page.

>>7850828
Yeah it's illegal, unfortunately.

>>7850828
Update: got her to send me a text message confirming she's sending me the money. So I have proof, now.

>>7850890
If you're not meeting in public you can tell them to leave. But if they're banned they shouldn't know about the meetup and where and when it is anyway. You can be sure as hell if someone showed up to my house I'd send them right back out the door if they weren't invited.

>>7849530
I know her, but I don't know if she has a cosplay page. I can ask her if you want anon.

>>7850924
Entitled much? Do you realize that you are complaining about a gift worth a few hundred dollars at minimum? even if the prizes were lucky pack items, they don't have to give anyone anything at all but they handed out 5 full sets, a bunch of smaller prizes and a novelty for everyone. ITS FREE BRAND FFS

Some of you people need to get a grip. This year's tea was a huge step up from the cookies and Lipton we had last year, not to mention the decorations, novelties, and awesome raffle prizes. I really can't believe some of you are still complaining.

>>7850992
I said nothing at all against Baby's generosity, I also said the gifts were awesome. The only thing I was disagreeing with was the winner's assumption of the worth.

I was not complaining. I was simply correcting the anon who thought their set was worth way way more than they'd get for it if it was sold.

>>7850992
You just named a list of things no one is complaining about.

>>7850997
Meh, I'm the winner you were correcting. I moreso meant the price of the items combined if I had bought them off the website, not what I would get if I sold them. c: I'm pretty happy to just get free stuff tbh

>>7850992
You know the tea party ticket subsidized/paid for the novelty. So it wasn't like it was "free".

>>7851009
LOL no it didn't.

>>7850975
yes please would like to tag them on facebook

>>7851000
Read the thread. There have been complaints about the tea, the deserts, the time the designers chose to give their gift and all sorts of other crazy stuff. This thread is full of spoiled entitled bitches who have nothing positive to say.

>>7851009
Where are you getting your info?? The tea party did not pay for the novelties in any way, so yes they were FREE. BTSSB receives no compensation for any of the prizes or novelties. Giving away these items is just a small thank you to the attendees for supporting their brand and coming to the party.

I staffed so hard across 1-2 departments that I didn't have time to see any guests or get signatures. Well, my fault.

Please fill out this survey if you have something to say!

We will do all we can and I will personally throw my life away to improve your animes experience. We'll fire people if we need to, and in the last two years have replaced directors.

Now who wants to talk about something besides lolitas!? Like MIQ! How about MIQ!

Anyway here's some love lives.

Oh yeah there's no N/A option on the answers so you have to write in bad answers if you don't have an answer for something.

SORRY

Let's talk about the circle jerk that was the fucking love live and idol master panels. One of the Nico's would not shut the fuck up promoting herself, I had to walk out. She did the same thing during the idol master panel. Who the hell handles panel feedback because if this cunt gets another panel next year, the panel director needs to be fired.

>>7851031
Exactly. Baby did a LOT to show their appriciation and if you were there it was obvious by the way the baby guest were acting. They were so kind and wanted to make sure they could give everyone as much attention as they could. Those girls barely sat down the entire time and it never once seemed like a chore to them. The complaining in the thread is directed at people who were supposed to be organizing it, like Andrea, and the quality of the tea and desserts. No one is ungrateful towards baby, they went above and beyond.

>>7851148

The panelist or audience member? We can talk to them, it's okay.

But I'm wondering what you'd like out of this kind of panel? Like, talking about any particular subjects, news or old stuff? Contests?

The problem with "intro" panels is the room fills up with people who already know everything so it's kind of a waste of time. Needs a new approach really.

>>7851211
First who are you in relation to the panel

>>7851324

Just a meddling con staffer.

>>7851354
I like some verification on that

There was a vendor at a booth that only sold those tacky animal tails who complimented some woman on her breasts. I heard some dude she was with ask the same woman out of earshot from the vendor if they knew each other. They did not.

>>7848180
Saw a pic of the Shingeki babies on Instagram.

Anyone know where I can find all the official pictures from the 2hu photoshoot?
Also why is no one posting pictures

>>7848180
Yes! They were adorable, I took a picture of them.

Kinda looks like they're being held by titans... Too cute!

>>7851697
This Suwako was adorable. I wish I had gotten more shots of her but she had to go get an autograph right after the shoot.

Thank you
All that lolita comm bullshit is annoying as fuck.

Not sure where this is from but I really liked it

>>7852167
That is a truly magnificent cosplay.

>>7852135

Is your flash on? If it's direct, never turn it on.

>>7852293
It was starting to get dark out and a have another of them where they are lit up well but I'm still trying to get better with flash and lighting in general.

By if it's direct do you mean the flash direction?Thank you for feedback

>>7852029
Oh wow, that is a really good ranka. Just face wise

>>7852094
Anyone get the name of the Kayano? Or a tumblr or something? My friend saw her at Momocon (no cosplay) and they talked about assclass for like, an hour.

Thanks!

I found this cringe worthy comic on cosplay.com while looking for photos:

http://conventionalwisdom.smackjeeves.com/comics/2017699/anime-weekend-atlanta-2014-september-26th-28th/


(also, where the fuck do you go to find cosplay photos now?)

>>7851632
>>7851829
Thank you guys so much!

>>7852755
What's wrong with Conventional Wisdom?

Any pictures from the meetup this year?

facebook com/Aniconpics

>>7852303

Yeah. On a big camera, what you want to do is cover the flash with a diffuser (like an umbrella) or else point at the ceiling.

Direct light on people's faces or on cheap shiny wig looks really unattractive. Of course it might be better than nothing…

>>7853213
I had a diffuser on but it was probably a stock one that comes with the flash. So even with that you recommend never point it directly at them?

>>7853232

It depends who's judging them. Diffusers start being good when they're a few inches across in each dimension, but photographers can spot it when it's anything less than a shoot through umbrella, and it really bothers them.

Did you guys see her? Everyone on the AWA facebook is shitting themselves over her outfit.

>>7853937
I could see this sort of being appropriate for DragonCon since basically anything popculture goes but it does feel really out of place for an anime convention.

>>7853937
seen her at my last three cons. Is more appropriate for Dragoncon but I think she promotes herself while wearing her homemade Victoria's Secret Angel outfit.

>>7853937
Yeah, I saw her a few times over the weekend. She's definitely got the body (and the balls) for it but she was getting a lot of touchy-feely photo guys so I felt kind of bad for her.

>>7853937
She actually goes to my college. She wears skimpy clothes all the time. My freinds and I actually dubbed her Smegma Queen.

bumping for some actual cosplay pics since the lolitas seem done with the thread

>>7854323

Ginko was one of my favorite cosplays I saw over the weekend. He had items in all of the drawers. Apparently it only took him a week to make. It was super heavy, which is why he made this setup, which adds more to it, in my opinion.

>>7855742

After this one, it's all going to be from the Fate photoshoot.

>>7855743

Minus this one.
Saber Alter

>>7855747

Kiritsugu and Kayneth. Kayneth was super cool. He actually suggested to pose himself lying in the ground with his wheelchair.

>>7855749

Saibah

>>7855754

Gilgamesh and Female Tokiomi.
All of that Gil armor is made of steel. He forged all of it himself.

>>7855759

This was a photo I just found on facebook of the Fate photoshoot.

That's all from me tonight.

Best KLK cosplay??

>>7855720
There was a lot of YYH for some reason this year.

I used photoshop to resize all of the images I took with my phone. Now when I try to post them, I get an error saying that my .jpeg files contain embedded files. Any idea why? I used a droplet/action, if that matters.

>>7856316
there was a scheduled group photoshoot could have been one possible reason you saw it alot
