/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Im interested in hearing more about this event too

Wtf was the girl in the emoticon dress? Did anyone else see her?

>>8596823
Yeah, she's called something to do with jellybeans? She looked amazing modelling in the fashion show (when she was wearing an outfit someone else chose for her lmao).

So fed up of the kids at every meet now running around with no supervision. I think it's creepy to force your little children into Lolita outfits and just dump them at an event like its a fucking playpen.

>>8596872
Did you interact with them though? They were very polite, well dressed and clearly enjoying themselves.

>>8596877
Some of the older ones (I briefly spoke to one?) seem sweet and I get why a kid her age would want to wear Lolita. But some of the others just run around, push people and mainly it just seems like they'd have more fun elsewhere. I may be wrong. Also I got given their social media "business card" handed to me which feels a bit pageant mom? I could be totally wrong, just my current opinion!

>>8596880
>Mommy cards
Disgusting. I knew UK lolitas were pretentious but that is taking the piss. I hope they bought tickets for all their offspring. If the kids got in for free it's ridiculous. This in my mind has always been a mature and classy event. If more kids start coming it's going to be just like MCM.

>>8596880
>Also I got given their social media "business card" handed to me
Wtf

I can't believe people would bring kids to run around at a big formal event like Regalia, though. How old are we talking?

>>8596880
The fuck. One of the smallest girls came up and traded some of the cards with me, but didn't give me one of those things. Definitely sounds like they're being pushed to do this. Tbh they did seem way too precocious. Cute kids in brand is a decent ticket to e-fame.

>>8596880
Do you have a link to their page?

>>8596884

Stop being so overdramatic. It's just one woman and her kids and the girls, at least, appear to have an interest in the fashion and the mother was running around offering tea all day so she was an actual volunteer.

Did anybody else see that one girl wearing the innocent world JSK with the tag still on it? It makes me wonder just how many people do that and then flog their shit off as NWT.

>>8596902
What JSK? And I didn't, but wtf. Are you sure it wasn't a fashion show model?

Who do you think was worst dressed?

>>8596736
Anyone else get some cheap ass IW near the end of the day? Everything was half price or less.

>>8596901
Didn't the mother make the fucking breakfast or something?

How was breakfast?

Photos please!!

>>8596880
Who is the mother so I can steer clear?

>>8596931
Heck yes! £100 bag for £50. A bit irked that they'd only give me a small carrier I had to smoosh it into, though.
A big enough bag isn't much to ask for, after I spent money on it new...

What were peoples favourite coords? I really like a girl who was wearings metas fancy egg and the girl who customised her iw jsk with gems

Pictures please!

All pictures I'm seeing are people in the same crown prints.

>>8597054
As long as the coords look good, personally I don't see how that's an issue. If you have a print that's on theme (especially IW, as they've done a lot of crown prints/themed items), why not?

>>8597057
I guess it just felt a bit unoriginal, especially since there are other very nice IW crown prints were also options. I have yet to see pictures of people wearing Charles Crown or Felicia Crown, but what I have seen is that at least eleven people wore Union Jack

>>8597049

>>8597078

>>8597079

>>8597082

>>8597078
10/10 for original thinking

>>8597079
I really like the outfit on the left. I like that it is still a print with a royal theme.

>>8597074
Oh I see, I thought you mentioned unoriginal as in just wearing crown prints in general.

>>8597078
>>8597079
...Oof, these coords however are not that well done. More like piled on all the brand/trendy accessories they could regardless of color matching or outfit balance. First two are particularly bad, I wish I could burn all those cheap plastic side-crowns.

>>8597086
That dress on right is gorgeous though, is it handmade?

>>8597109
I think it's I Do Declare or something?

People were literally giving tickets away over the last few days. Do these events not sell very well?

Didn't go but I saw some itas in maid outfits with bunny ears and star clips in town. It was embarrassing.

>>8597109
>>8597114
It is made by I Do Declare.

>>8596902
Yes, I think she was one of the wannabe efamous business card family.
>>8596910
Wasn't a fashion show outfit she was wearing it all day.

>>8597151
There was a problem with the ticket system many people ended up buying more than 1 ticket then having to sell or in the end give away the extra one.

>>8596910
I'm not the biggest IW fan. Bought my first IW jsk yesterday so I couldn't tell you to be honest.
Wasn't a fashion show model though.

>>8596872
As far as I know the kids did have supervision, and were part of the volunteer staff. They served tea and coffee throughout the day.

>>8596884
holy fuck are you salty

all my opinions in one go:

Kyra was not even bitchy and so I was surprised (wtf Dom is nicer than her), Michaela was radiant, Pippa looked like a hot mess and is definitely my choice for worst dressed.

Too much Gobelin Crest. Poor Fujiwara looked swarmed the entire day and is suuuuuuch an Anglophile like we all thought, it's almost painfully funny. No mega disasters and mostly fun. Moss Marchen pretty much sold out in minutes and I got the distinct feeling people were shunning Krad but that could just be me. Herajika was there wearing a coordinate we've all seen before, looking tired and being aloof but that's not new. Yourpervert looked fab and is cool in person, door-chan was in the fashion show and looked cutest of all. Octavekitten was taking soooo many photos and just generally being a famewhore, and that headdress looked tacky as fuck in person.

Fujiwara says chances of an overseas store are slim due to demand but she would like to one day if possible. She also said foreign/western Lolitas buy more per person/per transaction but still less overall. Ask me whatever I don't know what you all want to know.

>>8597438
Octavekittens headdress looked terrible on instagram too. at first i thought she kept taking pictures of "that girl" and i was confused why she would take it with such a mess until i realized it was her.

What was the krad drama? a quick google search isnt finding it.

>>8597457
the recent drama i mean not the one about the lying about dress material and the jellyfish artist not getting credit

>>8597461

I think it's the one where the girls at the UK tea party who preordered dresses never got them.

I'd be super pissed off too.

>>8597425
I fucking hate kids. I mean they're a cute novelty for like a minute. Then they just get loud and dumb.
Unless the kid has enough original interest in the subject to want to go to the event without parents pushing, don't bring the kid.
>my parents had some strange hobbies when I was young. I spent many weekends waiting to go home and made everyone else around me as miserable as I was. So I don't want kids like me at grown up events.

>inb4 we don't want people like you at our events

What's with the Anne Boleyn headdresses? Is this the new trend for the 'OTT Classic' tryhards? Really wish that whole mindset would die, it's so horrendously attention-whorey.

>>8597521
Not everyone is a shitty thing like you
>Your parents really did raise you wrong if this much of a bitch

>>8597521
I live in an apartment block with a playground right under my window.
I've never wanted to stab children more than now. I even used to find them cute. But holy shit, parents nowadays seem to let everything slide and even my dog (who's the most patient dog in the universe) sometimes starts barking at them when they start throwing tantrums and screeching.

>>8597074
I'm pretty sure it was intentional for a lot of them to wear the same dress

>>8597540
You think this is news?

Anyway back to.
I liked the venue this year much preferred over last year.
But the Tudor headwear seemed like a bit much. I think what really bothered me is that nothing else in the outfits were really fitting or as historical or costumey as the French hoods and septers were, so they stood out. But if the rest of the outfit had had similar elements it could have worked.

>tudor head garb, hoods, elizabethan collars
I don't think this stuff fits lolita at all. Just do historical reenactment garb at that point . . .

>>8597550
Go big or go home.
Make a Tudor inspired dress and sure, wear a hood and shit. But with regular dresses? Nah

>>8597550
As long it all the same era and not five at the same time I think it is fine. IW has also done historical dresses.

>>8597550
I agree with you, but I also think it goes with Innocent World's love of European themes, so it was appropriate for this event. Plus everyone loves to go OTT for big events- it would look out-of-place at a regular meet.

>>8597536
I actually really liked the Elizabeithan feel to a lot of the coordinated, I hope this trend stays. I'm getting pretty sick of weirdly shaped underskirts that look like frilly tubes in a mass of muted pastels.

>>8597579
*coordinates, sorry should've checked before I posted

>>8596890
Okay I know these kids pretty well as I'm a London lolita, and I've been to many meets with them. Cadence is just like that, she's a bit naughty, but if you wanted a card from her you should have just asked her. She's not a dumb kid as well, she knew very much what she was doing, and she knew that being little would play to her advantage and she could get loads of cards for free, also I ended up with a lot of her cards cause she gave them to me, so I didn't actually have to trade lol.

>>8597151
The events sell out within the first few days, people just can't be bothered to sell their tickets so instead decide to do something nice and let someone else in for free.

>>8597167
I don't think they went to Regalia, I didn't see any maid outfit itas, so I think they just went out.

Did anyone notice the mess of the bring & buy room? It was new mixed with secondhand and all tossed on a few clothing racks.

I generally had a good time, but here are some nitpicks-

The gold breakfast was a mess, the room was tiny and there weren't enough seats, there were no tables.

The Q&A with Yumi Fujiwara was awkward. The translator didn't seem very good so there were totally different answers given to the questions asked. Fujiwara-san also gave very long answers, so the translator would omit a lot of information. The translator could've taken notes or get Fujiwara-san to pause at fragments.

I was hoping to see some new IW designs at the fashion show or IW booth but it was all old designs and hence quite disappointing. Fantasy Night Sky was sold at the IW booth but at a really inflated price, wtf? It should've been retail.

The raffle was a mess, probably because of time constraints. The numbers were read out continuously which caused some confusion and the prizes were not introduced properly which I felt could've been quite insulting to the donators.

Dom seems nice but I'm not really comfortable with him wearing a tank top and shorts. It just looks way too homey. I wish he kept on whatever he was wearing earlier in the event.

I see so many pictures of people with completely mismatching wigs and legwear. I find the pink wigs with classic coords especially tasteless.

Question for those who went, how many people were not wearing IW? And of those wearing IW, how many did not wear the typical crownprints?

>>8597602
I don't see the issue with new mixed with old, like use your eyes to read the tags? You'll need to do it anyway to see the price

>>8597633
I'd say a good 60% were in IW and there was like again at least 60% crowns and maybe 5-10% of people in lotta

Apparently Ms Fujiwara called some girls in too-short AP dresses sluts? I heard it from someone else so I don't know if it's true.

>>8597438
>>8597438
Pippa is a fat hot mess every day like why are you suprised

>>8597684
That sounds super unlikely. Maybe sge called them 「スラッと」(suratto) which is like thin/tall/stylish hahah

>>8597536
It looked stunning in person, I thought - especially the French hood!

>>8597167
I got accosted by a weeb horde in Trafalgar Square. They asked where the event was, so I pointed in the opposite direction.

>>8597720
Pics?

>>8597720
What was wrong with her outfit? It looked fine to me. Not to mention the fact that she's helping to run a huge event, who the fuck wants to do that in OTT Classic or some other fancy shit? You don't have to have a Christmas tree's worth of accessories on your head to look good.

>>8597720
How does she even fit the clothes? She's painfully obese!

>>8597536
It is, but I like them. They generally look well made because they're difficult or at least tedious to make. Whether they match the coord is of course another thing...

>>8597545
>But the Tudor headwear seemed like a bit much. I think what really bothered me is that nothing else in the outfits were really fitting or as historical or costumey as the French hoods and septers were, so they stood out. But if the rest of the outfit had had similar elements it could have worked.
This, basically.

>>8597858

>>8597859

>>8597861

>>8597862

>>8597863

>>8597540
Are you a mommy lolita or something? You seem unreasonably buttmad that someone doesn't like kids or want them at events where we're at least pretending to be elegant.

>>8597854
That coord on the left is absolutely beautiful. New inspo.

>>8597866

>>8597869

>>8597871

>>8597457
I thought Octavekitten's headdress is pretty cool, is it just badly made and shows in person?

Also the amount of British Union Jack arse-licking makes me feel ill.

>>8597873

>>8597550
It's for an event, and I think it's fine to do something a little crazy for Lolita conventions, even if it doesn't 100% fit with Lolita.
The style is for everyday wear, so I think it's fun to do something silly and over the top for a con.

>>8597876

>>8597853
God that print is so disgusting.

>>8597875
That ruff slung around her neck though.

>>8597878

>>8597881

I really hope this is the event where everyone gets their Britain fetish out of their systems and we don't have to see any more tacky prints.

>>8597883

>>8597883
Noor what the fuck is with that underskirt.

>>8597887

>>8597889
Also inb4 literally any religion debate, I just think the underskirt looks ugly.

>>8597890

>>8597890
>piano key madonna crown
Why. It doesn't even look good or creative. why.

>>8597879
I don't really understand how anyone British would actually want that print, unless there was a Jubilee or royal wedding or some shit and you're the kind of sad person who celebrates those.

>>8597892

>>8597895

>>8597854 The left outfit is so cute!

>>8597854
Door-chan is too good for this world, too pure.

>>8597878
Hang on, is that the Baby $1000 clusterfuck dress? Did someone actually manage to pull that off?

>>8597900
>pull it off
>mustard tights
I'm going to say no

>>8596902
I've done that by accident before with a dress. Got dressed in a hurry that morning and didn't remember I hadn't taken the tag off yet.

Removed it as quick as I realised. So it may have been an accident.

>>8597785
She 'modifies' them

>>8597878
Really starting to think this is the only angle of that frame that makes it look really realistic. >>8597890 doesn't at all and >>8597082 is close.

>>8597866
This girl is the biggest bitch on this earth

>>8597932
Why do you say that?

>>8597863
I swear she is such a weird stalker...

>>8597932
Everything that comes out of her mouth is rudeness, bullshit or crappy negativity. She thinks she is all-knowing and amazing but she looks like a forty year old woman. Her head is so far up her arse and she never stops complaining.

>>8597943
That's very vague. Deets or drop it.

>>8597944
Haha no, hop off her dick and deal with it

>>8597952
??
You can't just bring up vague shit like that and expect people to eat it up, and then use "whiteknighting!!1" as an excuse to not back it up.

>>8597954
Hahaha get over it, if you know her at all you know it's true. Even her boyfriend couldn't get away from her fast enough.

>>8597785
JFC

>>8597943
Just her entire personality is awful. Just like highschool I'm better than you bitch attitude.

>>8597891
99% of her cords. But its okay because it's Noor and ass kissing.

>>8597943

She's also racist as fuck

>>8597904
Oh, I hadn't noticed those. Still though, looks pretty damn good considered the history of that dress.

>>8597980
That poor dress

>>8597896
Why aren't there more pictures with these props??

>>8597980
>maxing out Haenuli measurements
Goddamn...

>>8597887
These girls look too damn casual considering everyone else's OTT. Kek

>>8597997
I know Mo and she's a sweetheart, you really need to get that sand out of your vadge because you sound absolutely pathetic and without having any back-up you're frankly completely unbelievable.

>>8598062
You must be one of the ones she likes. Otherwise you won't see it.

>>8598066
People are nice to their friends. More at 11.

>>8598069
And bitchy and vicious to all others. No imbetween.

>>8598062
*vag
*not the same person
*you must be another member of the middle aged lady Lolita squad. Time to listen to your ovaries maybe?

>>8598073
>>8598076

Oh jesus christ stop it. You're actually embarassing yourself and shitting up what was an otherwise okay thread.

>>8598073
She was nice to me before we were friends too, OH MY GOSH ITS IMPOSSIBLE NO SHE MUST BE A CUNT BECAUSE SOMEONE SAID SO ON THE INTERWEB WITHOUT ANY PROOF

>All these uncreative royal bitches and clusterfucks coords
Amazing.

>>8598088
>digging back through someone's facebook
how sad are you tho

>>8598091
Not as sad as a salty cunt who publicises any negativity she can ;)
Also I'm glad someone stole her shitty headdress lmao karma

Fujiwara looks so fine. I wonder how she feels about her clothing being worn so OTT. I think all of it is designed with a simple look in mind and looks really not that good worn any other way.

>>8598079
>>8598078
It seems the personal army turned up.

From the way you write, I figure your attitudes are probably about the same. I'm better than you, she's better than you and we're all amazing and special for xyz reason that you wouldn't understand.

Most people are smart enough to just ignore negative comments on 4chan, that way they fly under the radar, no attention is brought to them and the whole thing is over when anon presses "post". But you're so ass-kissy and drama hungry that you're going to drag it out and make her and her friends look bad.

Stop getting wound up by anons on the internet saying things you don't like.

>>8598101
I don't even know the girl you're just making an ass of yourself and trying to derail the thread.

>>8598102
Did you see her on the catwalk though, face like a slapped arse and posture like a fat frumpy old lady, which she is tbf

>>8598112
pics?

Also glad they had a actual catwalk this year. Not a shitty gap in the seats like the year before

>>8597886
Chances are it made the Britain fetish worse honestly.

>>8596962
You got it half price, you don't really get to complain about how you paid so much money and deserve perks.

Yeah, it's a small expense and they should have been able to give you a bigger bag, but still, don't be an entitled jerk about it.

>>8597875
They are very well made from what I've seen, but they seem like the shape they are doesn't really flatter some people?

>>8597038
Any pictures?
>I love me some fancy egg

>>8598096
What's that about?

Went to Regalia, had a Bronze ticket, overall it was decent.

The only thing that irritated me was the lack of security the makeshift "cloak room" had near the entrance as anyone could just waltz on by and steal your shit as the useless volunteers were elsewhere each time I walked through the hallway and then there was whoever kept passing out those stupid fucking business cards featuring the two young Lolita girls on them in a desperate attempt for more e-fame & attention.

>>8597936
Deets??

>>8597876
Blue and Pink have cute coords. Blue should do something about her Hagrid hair. Too bad Cream is the only one with a cute face but those shoes and wig and elf headwear....

>>8598098
There are dresses from IW that are definitely designed with OTT in mind, especially some OPs like the Gosick collaborations.

>>8598225
Ehh...I'll take it, at least I have a cute face :3

>>8597438
>>8597720
>>8597980
>>8598004


This smells like a vendetta, she looks fine to me.
It's a simple co-ord but not everyone needs to have a fucking chandelier taped to their head.

Or are you one of those 'no fatty chans in my precious burando' types?

>inb4 hi Pippa

>>8598096
befriending people / staying their friend on FB just to shit talk them is pretty shitty, anon.

Maybe you should go outside and get some sunshine, start a new hobby, you know, do something constructive.

Because you kind of sound like a crazy, vendetta-chan stalker, and that's not a cute look on anyone.

>>8598267
The coord is fine, it's more that she's bursting out of the dress. Ill-fitting clothes ain't kawaii.

>>8597862
It looks like the bust behind her is part of her headdress...

>>8597889
It wasn't technically an underskirt, it was actually one of those long hoop petticoats.

>>8598279

Are we both looking at the same pic? c'mon anon, she looks fine! stop being salty.

Was there any actual drama at the event or did it all go smoothly?

>>8597883
>left
that's not lolita.
>you can't even see her socks/shoes wtf

>>8598198
It did say it was an /UNMANNED/ cloakroom. Do you know what that means?

I was honestly bored there to be honest. After I'd spent up, I was bored all day. I came back for the event things, but spent most of my time in london just wandering about the shops.

>>8598297
it's hoverlolita

>>8598088
this could be about literally anything though, don't tell me you've never made a vague post like this before
i don't know a fucking thing about her but yeah you sound salty as fuck for some unknown reason

>>8598096
are you that person she's talking about or something?

>>8598304
Did you go alone or with friends? I can imagine it would be very boring to go to such an event alone or not knowing anyone there, which is why I'm a little scared to go to one. I don't really have any online Lolita friends to meet up with, and people from my comm generally don't go to big events like that.

>>8598312
We can go together next time, Anon!

>>8598305
topkek

>>8597866
For some reason she reminds me of Barbara Windsor in the jackpot joy ads.

>>8597038
I feel like I was the only one wearing Fancy Egg, so thank you! It was kinda put together last moment because I've been too busy with MGS5 so I'm glad someone liked it.

I was modelling for this and I kinda felt a little embarrassed because I think I may have just been too fat and frumpy. The corset could've been tighter to make it look better and I'm sorry I feel like I embarrassed the designer and the outfit. Overall though it was a pretty good day and sold a dress, I liked the texting system they had in place so I knew when to collect my money and then I could spend it. I got a nice violet fane skirt for £40 quid, never really knew the brand until seeing it there but I really love the skirt I got. I found it pretty funny also how majority of the IW stuff got sold as soon as things got marked down.

I had bronze though so I didn't really get to check out any of the gold stuff. I had to help in the morning with moving shit up the stairs though which was pretty difficult. There is probably some more to say but overall I feel like the event went pretty smoothly and civil though I wish there was more like a dumb treasure hunt game like the previous events and figuring out an anagram because that was fun.

Was pretty annoyed at all the tourists treating people waiting around to go in as an attraction though. If they asked it was fine, if they just started trying to sneak in photos that was annoying, like people going up and taking photo with a selfie stick without asking with a group in the background. The venue was nice but next to such a tourist hotspot.

>>8598312
I went alone, but I did meet up with my comm for a bit, and I did meet some new people. I'm just not a really sociable person so I need to work on it.
I mostly went as a shopping trip, so I'm not too sad.

>>8597853
These are all so unbalanced, even the plainer ones. Bottom right looks ok in this photo but I know I saw others where it was an OTT clusterfuck, with some editing it could have been beautiful. Shame.
>>8597861
This one is adorable, love that architectural feel.
>>8597862
Another gorgeous indie dress? Anyone have the source?
>>8597904
Yeah, if only for those tights it would have looked nice and classy.

>>8598081
Honestly, yeah. Disappointing so far.

More pictures pleeeeease!

Times like this I wish egl was still alive and people made posts about events etc.

>>8598267
She looks fine in the Haenuli dress, but at regalia her skirt was no wider than her waist... she was literally tube shaped. Got nothing against bigger lolis, she's lovely but it just looked terrible. If you gotta modify clothes to make em bigger, she'd be better off buying 2 of the same dress and using em to make the skirt fuller so it'd actually have space for a petti underneath

>>8597878
Why those tights? Plain white would have been so much better. The dress works well with understated hair and fewer accessories though.

>>8598352
What skirt?

>>8597862
Really nice, I just don't know how I feel about the bare shoulders. Maybe a different head piece would have worked better idk.

>>8598372
If her knees were showing too you'd probably really be clutching your pearls.

>>8598372
I like the are shoulders as it looks like more historical dresses. I think shoulders are okay, the just need context.

>>8598372
I think she just needed slightly bigger/curled hair. I love how she let the dress speak for itself otherwise, with just the right amount of small accessories.

>>8598355
I mean the skirt portion of her JSK. It was an IW one, not sure the name of the print and I can't find a pic of her to look

>>8598312
I went by myself and had a great time, I don't really talk to any lolitas online and I don't have a local comm but you can usually tell who else is by themselves and get chatting with them. Also volunteering and applying to model are good ways to meet other people on the day. Plus there was a friend making group on FB for people to travel together and meet up, you should definitely go in future!

>>8597078
This photo is majorly unflattering to ALL that are in it. Good lord.

>>8597859
Oh wow, I really like this!

>>8597932
And? The coord looks good
Besides you're on cgl; we're all bitches

This doesn't look bad
>inb4 "SHE'S MAXING OUT"
Still doesn't look bad; maybe not the best for sure, but not certainly as crappy as salt-chan is making it out to be

>>8597859
What a gorgeous blouse! Anyone know where it's from? 10/10 would buy

>>8598299
That only women guarded it?

If you saw this brand at the event and was interested, don't be.
refer to >>8596881

>>8598577
I saw loose threads hanging off the clothes of one of the models when she came up close during the fashion show, kek.

>>8596858
I saw some scars on her arm that looked a little like cutting scars?

>>8598577
>>>8596881 →
Damn that sucks. That tea print is kind of cute. Also I was thinking about ordering a The Swing jsk from her since I can never find a baroque petrock one with lace in my size second hand.

Had a good time, mostly well dressed nice folk. Only downside was not being able to get a drink as it was quite hot. All in all not bad.

>>8598600
what is this jsk that you speak of?

>>8598181
Ill post tommorow!

>>8598595
Yeah her arms look horrific, I almost died when I first met her because they are so prominent and I used to sh so it was very frightening

>>8598577
They could probably make a killing just selling fabric instead of full dresses if they cant control their standards. I looked at their stuff on the rail and its was, not great quality, but I still like their designs.

>>8598082
I know the two in the middle, right one literally become a lesbian as soon as she got into feminism. The left one doesn't really know how to coord much tbh.

>>8598648

Nah I know her too, she was always gay. She broke up with her ex boyfriend for that reason.
He actually became mtf for a while and got into lolita primarily so she'd like him again.

>>8598299

For an event such as that, you'd think the cloak room area would be more guarded just like the bring & buy room. There's shit tons of brand, especially coats, parasols and gift bags just hanging there up for grabs. No excuse.

>>8598628
I think you're right. I just looked at their FB and don't see it. I think I've mixed them up with another western indie brand that does prints.

>>8598569
Are you a dad cause that sounded like a dad joke?

I think the event was ok but it definitely wasn't anything to write home about. I got pretty bored after a couple hours. I think if they do a big anniversary event next year there needs to be a complete overhaul of what the day's schedule should be as the formula they keep sticking to is so tired.

There were a lot of people with no social skills who seemed angry or suspicious if you tried to say hi to them, so it was probably for the best I never got any trading cards (still not sure where other people got their starter pack from so I must have missed something). Bring and buy was meh. I thought there'd be a lot more to choose from but it didn't seem like a lot of people brought stuff in. It was well organised though which was good to see, with really friendly, helpful volunteers. The non-IW dealer’s room felt bare and dead, and there wasn't much to look at. I think having two separate dealer’s rooms was a bad move.

I liked the photo room and I hope the pictures will turn out well. The VIP room could have done with more seating but I was glad it was there. Didn't like the fashion show setup and even though I was sat near the front and in an aisle seat I couldn't really see what was happening.

There seemed to be way less in the way of raffle prizes this year, and a lot of them were pretty naff, like the makeup tutorial and some sort of cheat for a Victorian themed online game. However, there were a lot of really big prizes towards the end and I remember smiling when one girl looked so shocked and excited when she went up to claim her free dress.

>>8598773

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed lots of Lolitas seemed anti social when trying to make conversation with them. There were tons of us in the ladies toilets at one point touching up on make-up & hair and I attempted to get everyone chatting about how their day was going, but it was just death glares or silence. I got some trading cards mostly from the girls from my local comm who were there thankfully, if I'd gone on my own and knew nobody there I would have felt really down no doubt.

>>8598320
I saw you at the show and your dress was lovely and you looked fine. Don't worry!

Some salty fuckin bitches in this thread. Are you mad jelly you're not friends with the decent UK lolitas or something?

>>8597869
Gross....

Did anyone else see the one girl who poorly attempted to dress in Mori that had a green bandanna on with small horns attached? No offence but seriously, this is a Lolita event for Lolitas, not an overall Jfashion event.

>>8597894
i'm english living in australia and i love those over the top royalist prints, they're just so ridiculous it's great.

>>8598726
Never said there was any excuse, because I totally agree. It's why I traveled to London freezing my ass off because I didn't want my coat stolen by any chance.

>>8598814
I was going to post this. Alot of the outfit criticisms in this thread seem unfounded and just pure salty jelly.

>>8598814
>decent

>>8599014
I think a full fringe would look better on her, but it's cute and simple. I think the white could be balanced better but that's really just a nitpick.

Is this selfpost or are you trying to get people to rip her apart?

>>8597999
>>8597900

Most of Baby's $1000 dresses look fine by themselves, the two biggest ways to ruin a coord with it is (a)not having a petticoat poofy enough to support all the ruffles on the skirt, and/or (b)doing too much with it. The problem is that everybody and their grandma are riding the OTT trend now, so girls tend to fuck things up by putting on floral crowns, underskirts, mustard tights and various other things with these OPs, when really the only thing they should be doing with these dresses is a basic bitch coord -- white tights, nice shoes, minimal jewelllery and nice hair. That's it. That's all that was ever needed to pull them off decently.

>>8599071
she just posted the pic in the lolita coords group of my country (Brazil) and i find this really cute

>>8597881
The coord from the girl in the right really bothers me.
>headpiece inspired from 1400's fashion
>motif of the print is a flag that wasn't used until 1800
Also the gold from the cape doesn't match with the gold in the dress.

>>8598164
It was more that the bag didn't fit at all, tbh. It was getting dangerously bent, so I asked them to leave the bag, and carried it around for the rest of the day on my person.
I guess I expected the girl doing the packing to take more care with it, considering Fujiwara-san was three steps to the left...
(Still, though, best bargain of the day!)

>>8598320
I was the magician /ringmaster loli and you said that so it probably was you, hinestly everyone modeling looked great and you looked stunning in your fancy egg coord

>>8599057
Awwww... :( well you've perfected them!! :D

A load of things got stolen, wtf is with the lack of security?
To be fair why not take the opportunity if you get it

>>8599396
>A load of things got stolen
What things?

>>8597853
jfc. I was tempted to get this because I saw a friend wear it irl and I would have loved to twin, but on second thought...

Anyone know the grazia girl who had her hair sort of rolled upwards on the Saturday? She had a crown on and yeah I know that dont help. I wanted to ask her how she did her hair but I kept missing the chance to speak with her.

>>8599113
Wow, aren't you nitpicky.

>>8599452
Did she have gingery hair?

>>8599452
I just asked the person I think you're talking about and she said she used this roller thing from Claire's: http://www.claires.co.uk/brown-vintage-hair-roll-kit/special-occasion/shop/fcp-product/23497

Did I miss out on much by not going to the afterparty? I didn't know anyone else going so I just went home in the end.

>>8599510
The picture on the box looks like how she had her hair. Cheers.

>>8598088
You went through her Facebook to find a post from two moths ago. How sad

>>8598843
They were with someone wearing a costume shop black/pink mixed wig. There was no hope for either.

>>8598843
...that was not a girl, anon

>>8599597
They're transitioning. Could tell.

>>8598843
I agree they looked shit, and I personally would only ever wear lolita to an event like this, but I can see a good argument to wear other j-fash. The stalls were selling a variety of things that weren't strictly lolita.

>>8599609
Good for them. They have the potential to pass really well, but they definitely need to learn how to not dress like a prat.

>>8599619
That’s true. But if we actively advertised for other j-fash I think the event would become too watered down and loose its unique drawing power for Lolita fashion. We have more general Jfash events already like regular cons. I think it’s in TPCs interests to keep it strictly lolita.

>>8599639
Where then do you draw the line, if you say 'strictly lolita'? What about other related styles such as ouji, or aristocrat?

>>8599645
They are obviously still welcome, as were the attempted mori, but they were not ADVERTISED for or pandered towards. So it wasn’t oversaturated.

Did Fujiwara-san like the Australian Lolita scrap book ? Or was like 'uh-huh...thanks.' *tosses it away* ?

>>8599597
>>8599609
>>8599623

I wasn't there but I remember last year or the year before Boykitten looked bad... Wouldn't be surprised if it's a description of them.

>>8599657
This wasn't boykitten we're talking about, they weren't at the event this weekend.

I remember seeing them at the tea party after frock on, they looked tacky and not-lolita but the outfit was well put together.

>>8598082
Who ever you are who posted this. You're a first class dick head. My friend you're bitching about in this photo has just begun wearing Lolita. I think she looked awesome and I'm so proud of her going to her first event and making friends. I'm disgusted in people like you who want to tear people down behind their backs. Go fuck yourself with something hard and sand papery.

>>8599732
First off, do you realize where you are?
Second, if she's your friend, why didn't you help her to not look like a total fucking mess?
If I had shitty friends like you, I'd be way more embarrassed about my early coords. Thankfully, the friends that I made pointed me in the right direction before my first big event, so instead of looking like a mess I ended up just looking a bit plain.

>>8599744
Oh I would like to see your first coords? I'm sure you looked like a goddess.

Oh wait, I bet you didn't you salty cunt

>>8599732
>>8599744
>>8599732
Maybe whoever thought a large lolita convention was a good place for her first event was a dick? They should have got some practise in at small local meets first, where it was friends only who wont put them all over the internet and give them concrit to improve? I wouldnt have brought a newbie to be publicly shamed.

>>8599750
Why the fuck not? Any event is good for first meet, even big one. If you think meets are only to show off your god like coord, maybe you are in this fashion for wrong reasons.
You should be enjoying time with your friends, make new ones and with that creating your own individual style.

>>8599749
Did you not even read the post
>be way more embarrassed
>ended up looking a bit plain

I think you need to step away from the computer, anon. You're so booty bothered that it's affecting your reading comprehension.

>>8599755
It's affecting me because you are salty cunt

>>8599744
I cannot believe people like you actually exist. I bet if your "friends" knew you posted shit like this here they'd be just as disgusted and point you in the direction of the door. I seriously hope you're not a British lolita, because if you are I hope I never have the pleasure of meeting you. Just because you didn't attend an event and sit there arm chair critiquing everyone when you don't even know them doesn't make you queen of lolita. Actually makes you so sad. Do yourself a favour and grow up.
>>8599749
Agreed!

>>8599744
also just because we are on cgl it doesn't mean we all have to act like bitches. Some of us are still kind to others

>>8599753
>>Any event good for first meet.
>>Doesnt want to be posted to internet.

Its pretty obvious why its not a great first event if you get upset about having outfit seen online? If you truely believe its just for having fun and creating own style, why do you care about this at all?

Goodbye, thread.

>>8599769
oh sorry I ruined your day. I didn't realise you wanted this thread to be about bitching only. Ooops like I give a fuck

>>8598788
That sounds about right! I understand people might be shy or whatever but I couldn't even get polite smiles out of people when I made casual small talk. One girl actually grunted a "hnnh" noise at me when I complimented her on her dress, and didn't even look in my direction when I tried chatting to her. I don't get how people like that have any friends. Shame we weren't in the toilets at the same time or we could have had a great chat while everyone watched us angrily.

I know this place is full of sandy cunts, but let's please get back on topic.

Did anyone talk to Krad about their recent fuck ups? I didn't buy from them so I didn't think it was appropriate for me to personally confront them, but did anyone else who was affected ask them?

>>8599777
I tried to talk to them a little in general, but their english wasn't great. They seemed nice though, and tried.

>>8599776
I think the cards that were given away were supposed to make it easier to make friends, but sadly no one really bothered to fill them in.

>>8599789
I think having the prize was unnecessary, it just made a lot of people want to trade them for the sake of that. It was a good idea to have the cards but it just didn't work out.

>>8599795
Agree. Also maybe people didn't know they should have pens with them? I liked the idea of valentines from SFE in Paris. We should have done that

>>8596858
Jaeliah "Jellybean" or something. Don't know her last name. I have her on Facebook.

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself anon

I heard someone's tights were stolen and a hair piece? There were things stolen at tea party club events before to ://

>>8597862
>>8598333
It is handmade, she did it herself. From her instagram :
>I am happy with how the dress turned out, design was inspired by Charles Federick Worth's dress for Empress Elizabeth of Austria coronation

>>8599891
hair piece was lost not stolen

>>8599891
The tight's weren't stolen, we left them behind in the main room by accident after the raffle. Stop making shit up m8.

Also there is a loaad of lost property to go through and it's annoying me that people are assuming that they were stolen.

There was one incident where someone picked up someone else's tote bag with some purchases in it, but that was a mistake as most of these misplacements are.

Sorry to sound so pissy, I'm just sick of the word stolen being thrown about so casually in this thread.

>>8599911
It seemed like people have assumed it was stolen which is sad

There's people who look alright or quite nice, but I feel like none of the coords posted so far have been really amazing.
>>8597853
I also really dislike this print now.

>>8599861
You must be an old fag. Nobody really posts event pics anymore, nobody really takes pics of anyone besides themselves.

>>8599938
There are a bunch of them on Instagram. Not all of them selfies. I dunno about you, but with proper photographers about, I figured I'd rather wait for their pics to be posted rather than post my crappy phone ones. I like to take pics for my own keepsake but it's nice that there are some decent ones to look forward to.

>>8599941
I always see photographers at events etc. But do the pictures ever get posted? Or am I somehow missing them all.

>>8599938
I definitely am an old fag lol man I miss the days when so many event pictures would get posted that you'd feel as if you where there and didn't miss anything.

Late to the party, but first of all I LOVED big events like this and enjoyed Regalia. However a few things stuck out to me and as ypu know it's very hard to give feedback to the organisors albeit they have done a good job hosting uet another mega event, that's why I choose to post here.

Love the variety of big and small brands
Venue was absolutely gorgeous!
Lots of raffle prizes and nice goodie bag gifts
Photo parlour was amazing, can't wait to see the photographers' photos

xPeople kept trying tp get into the model's changing room because there were no signage. Seriously WTF? I would be fuming if I was changing and some person just push the door. This year there were lots of male attendees (bfs, husbands, brolitas, ypu name it) and makes it extra annoying. Some girls were guarding the doors at one point but clueless people still tried to gwt in!

xRooms way too far from each other
xIndie brand room was dead and empty. Bring and buy and clothing vendor rooms were lively and bright in comparison
xNo narrator at catwalk. Ok I get that we don't need long descriptions, but there wasn't any mention of brands. Just models coming and going. Like anon above said I find it quite disrespectful to the brands, especially indie since most people wouldn't know which print is which. I remember they had someone introducing the coord and brands in past events?

Overall it was good, I hope the organisors can refine the small but important details to make it even better.

>>8599962
I usually don't have a problem finding them. They usually get posted to the event page, FB group or someone I know gets tagged in the album.

I'm impressed
this dress is so gorgeous, i really thought this was from some brand
i just think she should use an crown instead the bow

I was really impressed with the event and the quality of everyone's co-ords there was like 10 poorly dressed people at most.

>>8596932
Nope, breakfast was super fancy croissants and macarons from Paul from what I've heard

>>8599880
I like her popcorn coord, but it's more otome to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8bUWxfiEaw

but yeah, that coord is a hot mess.

>>8599982
this is all over the place, anon, get your shit together.

>>8599665
Boykitten tried to sell their tea party for more than they paid, then didn't even invoice the girl who triedto buy it

>>8599511
I'd say you did, I had so much fun honestly

>>8599965

>>8600287
Here you go Anon, not my photos but these are the only ones of the event I have came across

It was my first time coming to this type of event and I had a lot of fun.

The Q&A was kinda funny in how much Fujiwara loves the UK. Someone at one point asked if she found inspiration from other European countries and the answer was along the lines of well... I'm going to Belgium after this, so maybe!

The VIP tickets were semi worth it. I got a silver ticket. I was happy with the goodies I got in my bag. There was a bit of a line to get in though so it was running behind schedule. When I got in, I went to the Bring and Buy and the indie's Dealer's Room. I had no clue there was another room with IW and whatnot until after the welcome ceremony. This was partly my fault - should have noticed there the first 2 rooms were lacking vendors, but some signage would have gone a long way. As another anon said, people kept going in an out of the changing room because of that..

The Bring and Buy as some pointed out had some indies stuff there. I had no clue the tables included Tokimeki and Pepfox stuff.. I didn't bother looking at that area of the table - so much regret there.
I also sold some things at the Bring and Buy. For some reason the texting didn't work for me at all. Did it work for others that had a non-UK number?

I went alone to the event and was really mortified by by being that one loner or something. But people were generally friendly and willing to start conversations with me. In the end I don't think it was so bad going alone. I tend to want to do shopping at my own pace anyways.
The only thing is I realized after the fact is I didn't take any pictures of myself during the whole event. I also didn't go to the photography room as I felt uncomfortable being the alone in my pictures, lol. Future loners, don't let this happen to you.

Overall, I still had a lot of fun and would definitely come again. I think the organizers did a really good job.

>>8600291
This is the Main Hall during the Q&A. If you look really hard, you'll see Fujiwara.

>>8600287
>that one lolita caught on camera with her fingers up her nose
Kek. What timing.

>>8600303
The main Dealer's Room. This was earlier in the afternoon. IW's stock was half off later in the afternoon. Towards the end it was like half off the half off (ish)?

>>8600311
Probably adjusting her piercing. I do that with my nose ring all the time.

>>8600312
Door chan during the fashion show.

I thought everyone else in the fashion show looked OK or just down right unfortunate.
I could tell a lot of them were really nervous too.

>>8600319
Omg, the IW skirt is flat. C'mon Pippa, if you needed to add extra material to the skirt bottom via a bustle you should have done it. This looks ridiculous.

>>8600319
>>8600338
Ahh, so that's the outfit anons were talking about? Yeah, it does look bad.

>>8600319
dear god how did she even fit in that dress

>>8600392
looks fine here? i think she lent one of her petticoats to an attendee who'd forgotten hers so maybe she needed more pettis to get the balance right?

>>8600424
I usually hate those tacky big plastic crowns, but the way the girl on far right coiled her hair around it like that is actually really cool. I like it.

>>8600319
Can someone tell me who door chan is? like why is she called door chan? Does she have an instagram because she's cute.

Also that guy on the right is terrifying

>>8600431
I really love her hairstyle, she always does really clever stuff with her hair at these events.

>>8597883
omigod thats just the cheapest costume hoop skirt under there without even an underskirt. You can literally see the hoops and the cheap crappy tulle. Also that mismatching ring and random fucking flower on her head. Did she even try?

>>8600464
Connie Tuttle on FB

would pose by her dorm door due to limited space

pic related, random coord

>>8599493
I don't really think she is being overly nitpicky. If you are going to go for a theme, the theme must be strong, and since so many lolitas chose to try and pull off this theme, you think they would have researched a bit better. I found it a bit annoying too, especially for an event like Regalia.

>>8600424
Does that girl on the right have any social media I can follow her on? I love her hair.

>>8599861
Mossmarchen has posted a lot on her instagram

I'm kinda disappointed with people's outfits at this event. Even the ones with the more expensive dresses fall more in the category overdone and tacky. People especially seem to wear a lot of mismatching things, mostly legwear and shoes.

>>8601346
I thought most people were dressed well. Of course the OTT ones stood out most but there were a lot of nice coords that weren't. I prefer looks that are well put together rather than those going out of its way to look "creative". Differing opinions I guess.

>>8599326
thx

>>8600397
I don't understand why she doesn't just lose some weight? Like she looks so bad?

>>8599880
Is that...carpet?

Baww don't be so mean u guis

>>8597878
:P

>>8597883
SOMEONE HELP HER

HER UGLY CHEAP UNDERSKIRT HAS MUTATED AND TRAVELLED UPWARDS AND IS NOW STANGLING HER HEAD

>>8597883
Please someone tell her to never do that again ffs.

>>8597878
>>8601458

>>8601493
Now the yellow tights look like the shopped one. lol

>>8597536
I don't like it either. But then again, I hate on all OTT shit so I'm biased.

>>8597536
I think that the French hoods were fun for a bit of OTT Classic for a big event like Regalia, but definitely not for every day. Tbh, I agree with the coment made about them probably working better with more of a Tudor-Lolita coord, where the dresses are also based on the 16th Century French gowns popular at the time in the Court of Henry VIII around the 1530s. It's a better trend however than the cheap-ass Madonna crowns.

>>8597854
Damn it Connie, why are you always so gorgeous!
She dresses perfectly, A+ taste...I think I have a bit of a girlcrush on her tbh.

>>8597856
Love this one. It's simplistic and understated, but absolutely perfection apart from the giant bag. Not that the bag is bad but a smaller one would be more elegant.
Love her hair, bet it's her natural hair too.

>>8597863
Though I love seeing natural hair in Lolita, this is definitely not the kind of hair I want to see.
She made no effort styling it and it's not really a suitable cut for Lolita.
I recognise her from CoF/Rufflechat (it's that Cordelia girl, right?) and apart from the hair she seems to have improved quite a bit though.
It's nice to see she has made progress.
Put a cute wig on her and this coord will improve even more.

>>8597876
I like these coords quite a bit.
Simple and subdued, yet very elegant. Lovely.
The girl on the left is making a bit of a derpy face but I tend to look past that.

>>8598098
I always like the girl on the lefts Pirate coords. She does them so well.
Not a fan of her OTT non-pirate style ones though, not that they are bad, just not my taste.

Did people end up buying much at the event?

>>8601486
She keeps doing it. She's the reason I keep being asked where my hijab is.

>>8601661
I wasn't talking about her hijab. The petticoat is the main problem here.

>>8600214
urgh why is she so dirty?

>>8597536
All Jfashion is 'attention-whorey' especially lolita, what a ridiculous criticism. If you are going to an event you go all out, I seriously hope unadventurous people like you are ignored when it comes to making coords or we will be stuck with boring straight forward yawn-inducing crap until the end of time. Simple is fine for every day but Jesus, this is a big event at a beautiful venue with the creator of a major brand in attendance. On too of that, there are people whining about basic uncreative coords in this thread as well. Never seen so much salty jealous nitpickery in one thread.

This entire thread is one big salt flat tbh. Sure, everyone looked a bit samey, but it was an event with a very clear theme that was easy to adhere to for once. Is it really so crazy for people to wear their Union Jack to an event that was practically MADE for it? Even the designer wore it ffs.
Overall I thought it was a great event. There were a few points of improvement, but they definitely didn't make for a bad event. (For example the bring and buy was pretty chaotic and the two vendor rooms were far apart which meant the back vendor room got very little traffic the first hours. Both raffles were pretty chaotic as well, I think they should consider giving out less prizes but bigger instead of like 50 small ones.) I'm very impressed that TPC manage to organize something of this scale with so few people.
Also the tea party was amazing. So much good food (also for vegans), great service, great people.
Definitely worth travelling from the European mainland for.

This is what cgl has become. Nothing but nitpicking and complaining. I come here to see pictures and I have to remember not to read the text because it's depressing and gives a false sense of what the lolita community cares about.

More actual pics/gossip from the event please

>>8602058
This is autosaging so you might want to make a new thread.

Seriously, does lolita have to be OTT to not count as 'boring'? Even if it is for a major event. Not everyone likes OTT style, and it doesn't suit everyone.

I'd rather see a well put together, elegant outfit that works well, which might have an unusual combination choice, than a messy clusterf*ck of an OTT one.

There was one lady there who was wearing a beautiful, and delicately-printed jsk with a blazer and stilettos. The most OTT part was her large feather fascinator. She looked amazing.

>>8602077
This please.

This >>8601924 logic makes me think that these events are simply to and one up each other in the OTT contest. I'd really like a return to more basic coordinates. If anything - beautiful coords done in a more subdued way are probably a lot more difficult to achieve than piling as much stuff as possible on your head.

>>8601102
I don't know if I'm correct, but I *think* it might be sakurasheff?

>>8601346
Agreed. Too much stuff, not enough, well, coordination. I have no problem with anything from simple to OTT as long as it's well balanced/coordinated but a lot of these coords are lacking in that basic area.

What does mossmarchen looks like? I've never seen a photo of her

>>8601682
I know. I meant that too, the hijab was a separate point.

So what were the vendors like? I saw a post earlier saying one indie room was a bit dead. Anything good/noteworthy other than mossmarchen/IW?

>>8601954
Last year's event in London, everyone was wearing JetJ. Next year, it'll be Crest Gobelin.

Hand over the Marmite, Anon.

>>8602372
Whats with the headpiece? Looks like craft feather just laid on top of her head?

>>8602411
She's cute. Nicest person in the world too. I can understand why she wouldn't have her face posted on the internet : she wants people to fcus on her creations, not herself.

>>8597883
so much odd asshurt over this one.
she's doing fine for having to appeal to her religion/parents anyway. although the hoop petti is pretty shit.

>>8597890
that crown..
also the bad photo quality/photography
ruins the illusion
she also is one of the only people without horrid faces?

>>8597896
is the one on the right a boylita?

>>8597854
girl on the left nailed it. charming as fuck.

>>8598082
Is it bad that her bl shoes bother me far more than anything else?

>>8603275
Those aren't bodyline.

>>8597883
Couldn't she have just worn boots with the dress instead of that awful hoop skirt? I'm sure she's done that in the past.

>>8603350
Petty sure she's worn a knee length dress with leggings before.

>>8603264
Not sure if boylita or just very masculine loli. wondered that myself.

>>8603096
Yeah but it meant I gushed over creations to the volunteer at her stall not herself (still feel like an idiot about that)

>>8603264

>is the one on the right a boylita?
No, it's just a bad photo.

>>8597876
what dress is this

>>8602969

Well it is Sonia Leong, she thinks she looks flawless in Lolita and has top tier art as she works in the industry, but in reality it's actually quite shit and looks like what a 16 year old Weeb would draw. I don't get why so many aspiring UK manga artists or Lolitas for that matter worship her stuff.

>>8604325
I always feel like she bigs herself up so much by name dropping all the shitty designers of her glasses/socks/literally whatever the fuck she's wearing when her outfits really don't look as outstandingly fantastic and unique and high fashion as she thinks. They just end up being neither runway fashion or lolita. Just really middle-quality outfits.

>>8597894
Are you British? It's perfectly fashionable to have Union Jacks on bags and clothes and cushions etc here. It's not like the American flag.

>>8604428
Nice opinion you've got there. Shame now everyone agrees.

>>8602411
She's really pretty and has stunning blue eyes. Saw her for the first time. Was surprised tbh.

>>8604428
It is ridiculously fashionable to wear the Union Jack right now if you're British, especially as underwear, or to have a keyring with it, or a hat.

I do think the American flag is the same though, a lot of Americans seem to like to wear it.

>>8603903
Trompe L'Oeil

>>8604428
+1 love that flag.

Being British is really helpful in my Anglophilia

One issue I noticed at the tea party was that people were split into two rooms, a nice big one and what looked like a darker smaller one. People from the small room had to stand in the big one for the raffle and to see the special guests.

I'm not saying it wasn't still great because it was, but next time, maybe one really big room, or split the guests between to equally well-lit rooms?

>>8605387
I was in the small room, and I definitely preferred it, it was more personal and quieter. We also got our food before everyone in the main room!

>>8604419

Her Lolita coords are all over the place. She likes to brag a lot about her lifestyle. On multiple occasions she's mentioned her cleaners on Twitter so she's probably pretty wealthy, one status including how she needs to stop keeping her vibrators beneath her bed as they'll find them or some shit. Class act.

>>8602372
>>8602077
This isn't that great... sorry anon. Never heard her name before, though? What does she do?
