I actually really like the way the print is laid out. It makes me think of a Jane Marple print with a gory theme. The green tone in the white is a bit off-putting, but I like the print a lot. Kudos for the uniqueness.

Was a really good year this year, didn't even party, and was still a pretty good time.
Drinking alone doesn't make me a sad alcoholic though. Right?

wait didn't choke say that was the TOTAL cost before the shipping was deducted...? I just got back to checking on this dramus, did John try claiming that was just the cost of shipping?

Gulls, what's the best meetup your comm has ever had in terms of attendance OR enjoyment, interested in both. No specific, anon-breaking deets needed, just:

>What type of event was it?
>How far in advance was it planned?
>How many/what percentage of your comm turned out?
>Cost, if any?
>Was it suggested to the comm beforehand or just sprung upon them with a date and time?

I'm trying to put together better meets for my comm but no matter what, attendance just hasn't been great, with less than 10% of the community showing up in the last 6 months.
What's worked best to get people showing up/taking part?

What am I even look at?

Yeah, she was only offering me something like 5$ more.

>decided not to wear lolita or do a cosplay for my convention this year
>went as generic kawaii maid
>maybe got around ~6 pics taken of me in total
>used to getting at least 20
>it's not that I looked bad, people just weren't sure if I was cosplaying or what I was doing
>didn't talk to many new people in general when I'm used to friending at least five new people a year
Idk, has anyone ever went to a convention and had this happen? I just feel extremely unpopular right now.

>escalating it this much
Jesus christ. Yeah the obviously biased tone is cringy, but people need to settle down. People are way too invested in this. It's just some guide for newbies that someone decided to make. It could definitely use improvement but the more voices and opinions that the OP considers the more shitty it's gonna get. Collaboration is great but after a while it's just too much and trying to include every little thing isn't the answer.

When I was younger I could eat whatever I wanted and still maintain my weight with ease, these days I have zero control and I feel like everything makes me balloon up. I don't know if it's age, stress or my birth contol (3 years on the injection) but I just feel disgusting all the time and I hate it so much. I hate the feeling of my clothes getting tighter and my burando is getting to the point of not fitting as well. It's hard watching what I eat because my household shares cooking responsibilities and it's impossible to work out in my apartment because it's so small. I've joined a gym but it's hard when my bf promised to go with me but never does and the people in the weights room are super intimidating...it's hard to get motivated when you feel like everyone is laughing at you...I'm going on a diet this week as my co-worker lost about 10kg on it...please don't let me become a chubby-chan

>everything I buy just looks off.
>taobao or bodyline
>disappointed afterwards ...

Seriously? You're buying low quality clothes and you expect it to look all "beautiful princess" like? I'm not even like upset, I'm just utterly dumbfounded.

I'm so pissed off right now. Purchased stuff during the sale, thought I was getting all of my items, but was confused by the price of everything. Checked it out a minute ago and it turns out I only got one fucking item. One god damn ring and that's it. Why you gotta do this to me AP?

Are you me? The debt I've amassed from student loans is a little less, but still, we share the same concerns. The trick is not to think about it too much, honestly. Just take things at your own pace. If you start dwelling on the negative aspects you'll only become apathetic and making yourself motivated will only become more difficult. Do things in moderation and eventually you'll find some kind of balance.

I'll never sell on facebook sales groups again, holy fuck. I just thought they'd be a simpler and faster alternative to Lacemarket because lately it had been crashing incessantly. Also whenever I upload pictures it'll give me random errors that the mods consequently yell at me for, like it's my fault the website is a shit.

Boy was I mistaken!
>literal retarded buyers who say they're interested, ask a million questions over a period of days, then ultimately back out ergo wasting my time
>nobody knows their measurements offhand
>people asking me to hold items for weeks
>people getting indignant if there's a queue on an item and feel entitled because they thought they asked first

Girl in my comm wants to create Post Apocalyptic Lolita this year. I just can't support that.

Thank god someone said it. I'm so bored of hearing lime crime shit. The list of people in the cosmetics industry that do and say shady stuff is very long but most of it gets swept away for new drama and everyone likes to forget. But someone brings up lime crime and it's nothing but salty bitches as far as the eye can see. Chill out hoes, velvetines are tight as fuck. I don't need to be doe deere's best friend to invest in a nice lippy.
