Sorry but if you don't have money, don't come. Unless it's a house meet where the host specifically doesn't ask for "potluck" style (which you should still bring something), then please don't come if you can't afford it. Bitches be wearing the latest AP dress but can't throw down enough for the meal they ordered. Even worse the people who insist on showing up and ordering a water. Thanks for adding to out 18% mandatory gratuity that no one else is paying for.

needless to say that group of people i refuse to dine with or at best will get my own separate check! We all have different financial situations but God don't come to high tea broke! ...or pretending to loose your wallet.

Not really a worst meet up, but would just like some advice.

Meet ups at my comm seem to be dying. There's been less than 5 people showing at the last couple of meet ups. They're just activities like food at cafes, vintage markets, etc. And it doesn't matter who hosts the meet ups. There's also been cases a lot of people cancelling last minute too.

I'd love to host some "grand" activity. But it can't involve anything that requires reservations for obvious reasons.

I thought about a crafting meet up because I have loads of ribbon, flowers, and stuff, but I couldn't really help direct people to make cute stuff.

What can be done to improve attendance? I'd really like to help, but not really sure how. The comm leader seems pretty busy too (I'm not them).

Any ideas?

We had to pitch in $10 each for food in advance. The people organizing the meet had done meets before, so nobody really thought it would go wrong.

They fucking served (frozen, barely reheated) chicken nuggets and tater tots. In the middle of a public park in buttfuck nowhere, so we couldn't go elsewhere to get real food.
Didn't even have forks, just plastic spoons to eat with.

Oh, but somebody brought vegan chili. That sucked too.

All of this sounds great to me, even if it's only with a handful of people. Most of my comm's meets are either kind of weeby and obnoxious (loitering around Chinatown and squealing about all the kawaii ~Asian~ shops and people, mostly) or kind of boring in my opinion (meet up at a scenic location to take a bunch of selfies together and then go home). I'd love to actually DO stuff. There's this great vintage/antique/brocante market at a castle in my area every few months and I've been trying to get a small meet together for this but everyone balks at the €5,- entrance fee and I always end up going by myself.

>> No.8004773

I love my comm and we have lots of fun at meetups, but we always end up at one of the same two/three cafes afterwards, and I just get so ashamed of the group because people can get kind of loud and I can see that the cafe staff do not appreciate a group of fifteen weirdos coming in to hog an entire room, stays for two hours and are loud... I love my group but I would like to go somewhere else sometimes so that we can give those poor cafes a break and I don't have to sit there being ashamed for my company.

I am so glad I ended up not going. I was all set to do it, but hesitated on the ticket because it was more than I wanted to pay, and I was unemployed at the time they started selling them (I wasn't broke, but the cost of that tea party seemed extravagant)

This was a few years ago, so I don't remember terribly much.

It was the first meet of a newly-established community, and about 5 of us met at a mid-price meh-quality restaurant with no waiting service.

The founder of the comm wore a OP she said she thought she got from Milanoo but wasn't sure. It was Bodyline quality so she got lucky if it was really from Milanoo. It was workable, but it was the only lolita-related thing she was wearing. The rest were flats and some socks or something.

The co-founder who owned a couple lolita pieces from BL was there. I believe she was wearing a skirt from there, but the rest was just basic clothing too. At the time she didn't have much to talk about since she really only cared about BL because she didn't fit in other brands.

The other (2?) girls were wearing regular clothing and weren't interested in lolita.

I knew the founder from high school and hadn't seen her in a while so we caught up a little. The rest of the time we talked about general weeby things since everyone had an interest in that. We had fun in general but it wasn't fashion related at all.


I went home generally disappointed nobody had a real passion about it. I go to other communities' meets occasionally but the only local attempt was a failure, really.

>> No.8005175

>>8005170
On the subject of the community, I waited, checking the online page for a few months for more meets and new members; but all the new members were more into "steampunk" and cyber-whatever fashions, if fashions at all. Most liked anime, homestuck, twilight, etc. Before the next attempt at a fashion-related meet, the group changed focus to be a free-for-all alternative culture group rather than lolita. That's when I left. All the meets are just a gathering of the founder's friends generally hanging out.

The co-founder is still the "vice president" even though she moved states away, but we still interact over FB. She's a ton more interested in lolita than she used to be so she's fun to talk to! She still doesn't wear the fashion since she can't afford it (raising a family is expensive) or fit into a lot of it, but she GETS it. I'm sure if she had the funding/fitting resolved, she's be a great lolita.

I want our comm to have a new rule for this, actually. Our members are chronic "going" clickers, and then just don't show up or tell the host they can't make it.

If you click "going" but don't respond to posts on the event page asking about food or meeting times, don't pay required deposits on time, or don't reply to group PMs, you're booted from the event invite. If you clicked "going" and replied to the event posts, then don't show up on the day and don't inform the host that you won't be coming, that's a similar strike against you.

If you do either of these for three or more events in a six month span, you're booted from the comm for a probationary period. Because, honestly, the members who do this shit don't come to meets anyway, and it'll just keep stress levels down for anyone hosting a meet. I've watched five different girls in our community trying to host meets in the last four months, and every one of them has had to browbeat people into replying to questions about tickets and restaurant reservations or pay reservations in advance, because you can't just rock up with 24+ people to a venue and expect to get in.

I really want to make a new, separate, exclusive comm but the drama potential puts me off.

what about Swap meets? Those always seem to have great attendance.

Something my comm does once in a while is go to see a movie or a play/ballet together. Usually with the latter, we plan it way in advance and buy group tickets, so people actually have to pay fairly earlier before the actually event.

This. I like to schedule meetups for things requiring payment, like tea reservations or group museum tickets, and if you want to go, you have to pay in advance. Your payment to my paypal account is your RSVP. Obviously, if you're going to a restaurant or something, you want to include tax and tip in the amount they need to pay, and then everyone is 100% covered. It makes everything easier and guarantees people will show.

You can suggest alternatives? The issue tends to be that accommodating large groups is harder and requires people to not be so flaky. Cafes always are limited in space, and bigger places are going to be restaurants and places like high tea that usually ask for a deposit. You can ask for people to pay for their portion before the event, but it does mean someone is responsible for a chunk of money for a period of time.

Worst meet was probably the one where these two overweight, pimply, (SouthEast?) Asian itas kept cat-calling every 'attractive' man they saw and would then loudly talk about all the lewd things they'd do to him. They settled down a little once we got off public transport but those were the most embarrassing train and bus rides I've ever been on. Fortunately they've never been to a meet after that.

Not lolita related but I and a group of 90 other people were once held up for several hours in Calais because some dumbass thought her driver's licence counted as a passport. The organizers told everyone several times before departure to bring an updated passport or ID and that driver’s licences did not count but I guess she felt that the rules didn’t apply to her? It’s especially stupid because everyone over 14 in my country has a government-issued ID that can be used to travel freely within the EU. She just left hers at home.
We had already driven over three hours to get there, it was the middle of the night, and she didn't have enough money to get back on her own. Everyone was too pissed off at her to feel bad for her so eventually one of the organizers, who didn’t even know her, had to give up on the trip to travel back with her.

I think that everybody knows that when you're eating with anything but family or it's your birthday or some shit, you're chipping in money for your part. Unless you have close friends whom pay for you, and they pay you back eventually. Spot each other in the time of need thing.

We've only had one girl forget her wallet at a meet, ever. And she was going to skip eating because of it (she noticed when we got to the restaurant, because she went to put away her bus pass and realised her wallet wasn't in her bag). I volunteered to pay for her and let her pay me back later, because she's really sweet and the meet had already been going for 2 hours, and wasn't going to end for probably at least another hour or so. She still ordered the cheapest thing she could, because she was so embarrassed about it, and then realised she could PayPal me the money from her phone.

I generally think people who order gratuitous amounts of things to eat/drink, then say they "forgot" their wallets in these stories probably did it on purpose because I'm a fucking cynic.

I never been to Michigan or ran into a meet there but the coms/meets here are not that bad in Chicago and the people in Chicago depends on the area.

North side=good

Thankfully most of the cons are near the Airport away from Howard.

Yeah, that's not being crude. Being crude is telling suggestive jokes (in a quiet, inside voice) or maybe exchanging some somewhat saucy stories. Anything past that in public is just embarrassing. And that doesn't make me a prude, just someone who knows how to act in public. Especially when you're in frills, damn. You're already drawing enough attention to yourself. At least act like a normal person, not a 2edgy teen.

I don't have a terrible meet story, but a funny thing happened when I first got to my most recent meet. My friend and I were the first to arrive and when these two other girls walked in (not looking cute, mind you. They honestly looked pretty bad) we waved and they stared and then walked away.

we sat there forever waiting for everyone else. we switched tables later but it was beyond awkward and uncomfortable. of course all the lolitas who bailed on us never responded to any messages and played dead for the next couple of months. the next meetup we organized had real tickets and an entry fee, and voila, everyone showed up.

My first ever meetup a bunch of people including me and my boyfriend/fiance ended up going to a sushi place. Because bf is a grownup he had a credit card and offered to put it on his card while everyone paid him their share. I think he said it ended up being short like $300. These were all people I literally met that day (many people I never saw again.)

I know another person who ended up footing over $1000 for a meetup but I'm not going to give out details because it would be really easy to ID her. She didn't want the info spread around, me and a few others who knew tried to help offset it afterwards but I don't think we even came close.

If you want to do a big thing and eliminate last minute bailers, then do a prepaid, no-refunds ticketed event. You have 20 spots or however many for a fancy tea or lunch or whatever, find one that has a prix fixe tea/brunch menu so everyone puts in the same amount. Make the cost of a ticket that + tip + if you decide to do any extras like a raffle or decorations, include that in the cost of the ticket and make it clear that there will be a raffle or whatever. If people want to back out, they can sell their ticket to someone else but no refunds allowed & make sure you have the money in hand to avoid paypal or cc chargebacks if you don't trust your comm members. If you want to be nice you can offer "deposit", 50% now, 50% like a week before the event but be aware if you give people an inch, they will take a mile. If it's a big event & there is a pre-paid/no refunds element, people are more likely to plan around it rather than it just be tacked on to whatever else th ey have planned that day like they would for a smaller meetup - they will have more invested in showing up.

This sounds like stupid planning though. I cant imagine how stupid you have to be to put your own money on the line for some meetup, and that isnt really being a 'grownup'.

I'm only a newbie that has been in the comm for some years but I didn't become active until recently. Tbh what I feel like is theres a circle of people that cause a lot of drama, and it usually revolves around AM. John is the con head of Anime Matsuri and he and his wife flock around the lolitas. Since a lot of the mods and certain lolitas are heavily involved in AM, there's a hierarchy around them that make it feel unfair, and which causes a bunch of bullshit going around.

However, separating this shit from online and real life, online the drama is expanded exponentially. If you're not directly involved in the drama, then nothing will happen to you. A lot of the drama happens within the relationships between lolitas in the spotlight, and since HLC is a huge comm with a lot of people who have their lives online, it seems like drama is everywhere but honestly, that's like 1% of the comm, since theres roughly 900 members (more like 400 at least since not everyone is active on fb or lives in Houston, but I'm not using proper stats so w/e).

Basically, the meets are fine. You get to meet a lot of nice people and it's actually pretty fun. Stay away from the drama/attention whores if you want to stay away from drama, and don't try to get in the public eye/involved with AM and John. You can ignore him and nothing will happen to you. Even then, most of the time there's no drama shit in public really, and the people who you should stay away from would be nice to your face if you're nice to them most of the time (ex: I met Jona a few times and she's always been sweet to me despite all the claims of how bitchy she is to people)

Recently there's been a lot of itas, newbies, and bodyline-whores in the comm but like i said, a lot of them are nice and there's usually a few good looking lolitas around. Just try to go to a meet and see if you like it. The smaller meets tend to be more intimate and easier to make friends.

I'm not even thirty (yet). And yeah, I'm fully aware I suck at makeup. I didn't even start wearing it until around a year or two ago. My brows got fucked up during the 90's when I let a hair stylist wax them into what was fashionable then, and they've never grown back. They were never that full to begin with. Some of us don't have lusciously full eyebrows. I can do fuck all except pencil them in.
And yeah, it was a casual meet. I don't really dress to impress anyone, I just enjoy wearing what I have. The whole "keeping up with the Jones" thing that occurs within lolita boggles my mind. It's like the female version of a dick waving contest, and I checked out of the drama business a long time ago.

nah man I was saying more like, as long as you don't get close to those kind of people, they really won't do anything to you. I met her a few times but I'm not friends with her or anything. We only small talk like about the food at the meet and stuff. I was using her as an example that they'd be nice to your face, and won't actually pull anything bitchy in front of others most of the time.

but yeah, that's especially something to look out for. those drama kinds of people, just basically stay away and be civil with them at the most. if you decide to be friends with them, you gotta accept the consequences of that relationship.

>Takes me to her lair. Messiest room on block. Brags about her empty closet full of "super desu desu kawaii sugoi" (other jpop reference) bodyline and milanoo. Smells worst of all. Says she doesn't wash them for fear of ruining them.
>Tells me my outfit isn't even lolita and would look better on her. Tries to make me give my clothes to her.

Join us on facebook, anon. We are a bit active, though mostly in the fairfeild county region, and Low drama..
I should be hosting a small tea in January sometime. But really the best way to get us to be more active is to plan your own meets.
Most of the girls who regularly plan things work in retail so we get dead around the holidays, we did have a gift swap early in December and that was fun, though.

Man, this is creepy as fuck. I was getting genuine chills until it turns out you met her later and at least it was an actual girl your own age and not some random dude. Then again, I guess being a girl your own age doesn't prevent her being a predator, and that really is creepy behaviour.

Or "why don't you wear shorter skirts?" And starts pushing me to wear his jacket. He stares at me the whole meal repeating "sugoiiii you look so so beautiful" then he starts telling me he wants me to borrow my brand to him and tells me that he will give my stuff back in a month or two, He also told me he wants me to use his clothes and wear just punk lolita because he likes that style more than sweet or classic, suggests we shoulg go alone to the mall and that I should crossdres to look like we are a couple.

He is a sissy who was in the comm for an embarrassingly long time before finally being kicked out.

I had two really bad meets when I first started Lolita and I didn't know anything. Not going to green text because phone

First meet was before I found the facebook groups and it was posted publicly on egl. Mostly public Japanese event you coul d have found out on your own, which I most likely did. Finally had bodyline and not having to use homemade/altered so felt pretty good to finally get real Lolita shape. End up looking goth because I guess that's what I'm used to from before Lolita. Can't even look back to see if I was ita because only have one photo of me from a group shot barely see myself. Guess I was a mana wanna be. Anyways go to event, wait long long, watch event, linger around. Lots of people and lots of Lolita. No one talks to me. Too shy to talk to anyone else. See old friend from high school who is in comm. Says hi but doesn't introduce me to anyone, ignores me. Start to have panic attack. Feel like crying. Everyone starts to split off to have meals talk about mini meets and other events. Have been alone for the past five hours. Rush home trying to to cry from panic attack. Normal fags making it worst. See Lolita in station with their friends. Never felt more alone and stupid in my life.

I'm from SF and I'm baffled that there was a petition to ban melissa. melissa being a sissy is and was a huge threat to the lolita community as a whole. Why the fuck are cgls so down to ban melissa but not other sissies? The fact that melissa verbally threatened someone didn't come into the spotlight until much later (yes there were secrets last year but it kind of flew under the radar).

Cgl and btb bitched about melissa but nothing was done until one lolita outright said she wasn't going to tolerate their behavior anymore. Maybe your comm needs to do the same.

I can't tell because the face is blocked out in the image, but from the coord it looks like the person at least knows how to dress himself, and Melissa has always never been able to dress himself and has always looked like a 50 year old man in a dress much too small for him. Plus, he never talked and would follow people around silently. So I think over all, Melissa just came off as much creepier, if only because of appearance- obviously I don't know how the other brolita acts.
