I am so looking forward to our meetup. Its not a definite what we are doing- but I have been so depressed lately and looking forward to wearing a good coord! Lolita makes me feel so much better. I wish my comm had meetups more often.

Same, anon. But I have to say, you don't have to wait until a meetup to wear lolita. I have a coffee date with a friend this weekend that I'm going to wear a new dress to, and it's getting me through a crappy week. I highly recommend you try wearing lolita on your own once or twice!

This actually sounds pretty great. I'd feel bad for the two single girls in my comm who aren't total spergs but idk they could do ugly Christmas sweater-themed coords or something. Heck I'D want to do an ugly Christmas sweater-themed coord.

I'd actually love to have a bring-your-spouse-to-work kind of meet. Most of the (active) lolitas in my comm who are in serious relationships are really chill and their SO's are probably pretty chill too, and it would be nice to have my fiancé meet some other guys who are in the same frilly predicament as him. I think he'd enjoy that.
No idea how to pull that off without the single people complaining, though. Plus all the socially awkward itas who can’t function without their greasy SO holding their hand will probably come crawling out of the woodwork. Has anyone ITT ever managed to successfully hold off greasy brony bfs from an event without a shitstorm of hurt feelings and drama?

What have the lone lolitas among us done for ILD in the past? I live in a town in the middle of nowhere with nothing nice around. I was thinking of going to the local historical museum (housed in our old Victorian courthouse) or spending the day in watching Kamikaze Girls, crafting, etc.

Same thing I do every night, pinky. Chill around town in lolita. Maybe get some tea or go to a museum if I'm feeling it. This year I may get tickets to a ballet. But desu that's no different than a normal saturday. For ILD I just tend to be a bit dressier and might post coord pics.

Our comm does this too. We're a lolita comm run by lolitas but every one of our meets has to be open to all Jfashions and interested normies in jeans or else we're being exclusionary and elitist, waah.
I honestly wouldn't mind so much if the people wearing these other Jfashions were actually decently dressed, but they never are. A lot of the time they look like their entire coord was thrown together in a thrift store the morning of the meet, and it's only through conversation that I can figure out that it's supposed to be mori or dolly or uchuu or larme or Ijustmadethisup-kei or whatever. One time a girl showed up in booty shorts and a H&M top with minimal makeup and flat hair. She was gyaru, apparently. We get plenty of ita's too, but at least with ita's you can tell they were going for lolita. Most of the ita's also take concrit, but for some reason the people who show up in grandma's paisley dress from the 70s and call it mori kei never do.

No but usually you talk about marriage somewhat, and most people make it known what kind of proposal that they would like.

Because throwing an event for 100 people with burando accommodations is hard, and it's easier to bitch about stupid shit like cannolis and how the LA mods are evil whiteknighting cunts. If the salty anon were paying attention half of the current ILD people aren't even mods.

I appreciate their efforts and there's still other fun events if ILD isn't your flavor. But I guess it's more fun to be shitstirring when no one outside cgl cares very much.

So far, every criticism has been so minor that it's laughable how unbelievably butthurt you are. I'm glad you, the mods, and the members haven't received a serious criticism because I would expect a full melt down.
Whoever is defending the LA comm events, you need to let small things slide. Nobody gave a shit about the cannoli complaint until you started screaming about how people are soo fat and rude and entitled.
People might've side-eyed the making models pay issue until you so passionately threw a fit that it was an honor to work for them.
Frankly, many of us in SoCal browse /cgl/ and watch these fits on here. It turns us off from wanting to attend these events, solely due to these violent overreactions.

My advice to you and tl;dr to everyone else, shut the fuck up. Nothing gets you more shit than being overly defensive. I don't care if you're a mod, a host, or a passionate attendee (although I have a good guess as to who you are).

I'm going to try to summarize my ordeal with her as best I can while omitting people that I don't want to drag in if they don't want to be a part of this. I just spoke up because she is still lying about me in this very thread. The thing is with Lauren is that she will always be super nice to your face, especially if you're not someone close to her. I moved to Los Angeles about almost two years ago and became friends with a mutual of hers that she had been emotionally manipulating for years. From that point on she was always passive aggressive with me, I can tell she was possessive of my friend and saw me as a threat. But I thought maybe it was just the person she was so I kept trying to give her a chance, and I didn't want to cause drama with our mutual friend because she was afraid things would blow up ( which it did in the end ). I'm just going to write about the final nail in the coffin that made me defriend and which afterwards she started spreading lies about me to people I don't even know because I refused to stay friends with her. So Lauren, mutual friend, and I were all twinning for the ILD event wearing the same outfits, spending a good amount of money to get matching accessories. So I get ready with mutual friend at her place before heading to Lauren's to drive together to the event. Lauren lives in a sort of gating community, but not in a good area, but when I walk up to the door I hear her dogs coming at the door. Do you think she would hold her dogs back or anything? No. Once I open the door she is literally screaming at me, "YOU ARE GOING TO KILL MY DOGS IF THEY RUN OUT THEY ARE GOING TO GET RUN OVER".And I was so shocked because I have been to her place before and never had this situation happen so I stood frozen in the doorway because at the same time she's screaming at me, mutual friend is telling me just to go inside. So finally we go in and finish getting ready and head for the event.

Cont.

>> No.9697610

>>9697586
So the whole event mutual friend and I keep trying to call Lauren over with schmoozing with everyone else so we can get a picture of all of us together since we spent so much time and money to have matching outfits. But she ignores us the whole event, even when they were kicking us out of the venue we tried calling her over to take a group shot before we left. Other stuff also happened that I'm pretty sure she instigated after that, but it doesn't directly correlate to this story, but she is definitely conniving I can say at the least. So finally when we all return home to our places she writes something in our group chat. I'm not the type of person to respond right away, so after a few minutes she left the group. This is also the second time she has done this, because she loves to throw a hissy fit over nothing. Then she starts harassing mutual friend of how mutual friend and I were excluding her during the whole event and nothing bothered to try to take an outfit shot with her, which was uttterly B U L L S H I T. And then! She demands mutual friend and I to apologize to her for this, and at this point I'm just fucking done. I refuse to, and because I did so she started harassing mutual friend to the point of anxiety attack to force me to apologize for something so utterly insane. It was to the point her husband even started messaging me to just deal with Lauren and still I said no. This whole time Lauren is bitching to mutual friend, but the only time she messaged me about anything was to finally bribe me with Blizzcon tickets to become friends with her again. At that point I had it. And since then Lauren has been lying to people about such things that I'm a broken person, that I'm a monster, when all it is is her self-projecting all her insecurities. And she's still doing it in this thread. So if she thinks I would just sit idly by while she continues to lie about me, Lauren, you have another fucking thing coming.

I've noticed such a big difference between how people react to me when I'm travelling alone or only with close friends vs. how they react when I'm with a particularly bad ita. People go from smiles and compliments to literally dragging their small children away in horror. Most of the itas have annoying or nasty attitudes too, which certainly doesn't help.

I don't completely agree with this.

Aw, I wouldn't enforce a Christmas themed dress code for my winter ILD. Not everyone celebrates it and/or has wardrobes for that sort of thing , like in your case. All I'd want is for everyone to wear their best lolita coord and have fun.

This is a better question for your host.

From past experiences, themes are never enforced, but only encouraged, and the only dress codes I've ever seen actually enforced are no-replicas at brand tea parties.

Depends on timing and logistics. I don't think it really matters so long as people aren't hangry during the meet.

Restaurants typically schedule afternoon tea services between 2pm - 4 pm, but some places do a lunch time period instead. I usually do an outing leading up to the former situation, or after if the latter.

For my comm's ILD, we're doing outing first and eating before going home because it gets dark early and people have to drive a ways to the location.

Stating facts is not equal to supporting marriage as institution. Did someone hurt you anon? You seem to upset by the idea of marriage for this to not be personal.

The Bronx comm is mostly made of itas and bodyline-chan's, Chinese and Queens comm are basically one in the same, Manhattan comm is the mod/friends only comm, and Brooklyn as far as I've noticed is the most inclusive.
Lone lolitas benefit the most here, desu.
The overall quality would greatly benefit from the big sister/little sister mentality. Doesn't help that the open meets are planned by local maid cafes and ILD meets are almost unheard of. If it wasn't for Y being called out for the secret comm and people threatening to tell the comm about her scamming days the meet ups would have stayed at about 3 per year. This is the first time in as long as I can remember we've had a bullshit meet up at least once a month.

I really don’t know. There were probably more grievances against S than L? Apparently S has been banned from the NY community which could have put more weight to her getting banned. According to S’s 4chan post, if it is true, L was getting other people to harass someone that wasn’t S so that they would talk to S instead rather than talking to S directly. According to LA mod’s post, L should be banned too. These two shouldn’t have any part of the community if this is how they fight despite being grown women.

I've been thinking that too. Considering how S got banned, why doesn't she prove L has been harassing her? Her post calls out L sending others to talk on her behalf and the group chat. Why doesn't she take screen shots to prove she's not the only dramatic girl in this scenario?

That's what I didn't understand either. If she had the proof it would be set in stone against L and L would have been banned instead. I don't doubt S's claims against L but it seems like this is a problem just between S and L the community shouldn't have been pulled into this but I'm assuming someone reported her posting on 4chan. If her claims that L was shit-talking others are true, why didn't they go up and help substantiate S's claims? This proves more that this was only a falling out between L and S and S pulling shit out of her ass saying that L shit-talked others in spite of the falling out.

>>9701671
This is reaching. Proof? Otherwise, stop pulling shit out of your ass.

>>9701706
According to L's (I'm assuming it's her) post, it states that she was banned from the NY community. A previous thread for the Mystery Dinner event mentioned that she caused a lot of drama in NY. If any NY anons can come up with evidence, that would be great. But I don't recall anything about her scamming people.
