Anyone dressing up this year? And was there still the Loli tea party and such.. Gathering? Anything?
talk to felicity about that tea party thing. i hope she has it again this year! :D 'twas awesome.
well, i never will dress loli to a con, seeing as i dress that way in normal everyday life, and dressing in the fashion to a con makes me feel like i am not putting in enough effort to a costume by just wearing normal clothes. but i will, however, be wearing a loli-inspired costume from a music video by the lovely and taleted amano tsukiko, so i think i will still qualify as at least semi-loli. :D
I was curious about any developments with the Lolita Tea Party and thought I'd bring this thread back to life. : D Anyone planning on dressing in their lolita clothes or making tea for Fanime 2006?
^^ Yeah I always dress Lolita (when my parental units arent arround) and Im sure as heck im going to wear it for fanime 06!
hopefully i can make it out to tea <3
I may wear a lolita dress to fanime... but I wear them all the time, so it seems like I'm wasting cosplay time...hmmm... : D Maybe I'll wear it anyways! XD
lol i feel the same as well, but lately i've sort of grown out of it... shame since i have too many loli pieces that are now at goodwill hahaha. if i do go to the tea i may make a cake and dress aristocrat, but again, will have to wait and see.
this year i prmoise to not forget my cookies that i made at home, okay? :3

Bump. Is felicity still organizing this?
there's an Applesugar loli teaparty scheduled on the cosplay gathering list
Quote from: "gmontem"Bump. Is felicity still organizing this?
Of course. What would Fanime be w/o a giant gothic lolita gathering at the park? :) I'm thinking it will be on Saturday in the early afternoon. I think if it ends up being bigger than last year my head might explode ;)
The lovely lady that runs Applesugar is also hosting one on Sunday. Not sure where though.
Loli?
Thats perverted...
And its going to attract the wrong kind of guys to Fanime.
=\ umm we are talking about Gothic Lolita, a street style from japan. its not dirty.
Quote from: "kam_islash"Loli?
Thats perverted...
And its going to attract the wrong kind of guys to Fanime.
Well it sure hasn't yet. EGL isn't brand spanking new to Fanime.
Siiiiiiick, I 'm making cookies at home tooo! Just take them over to le Salon. Wipe your feet and siddown to speak some French, cause I'm dying fo' somma that 'euhhhh, parce que . . . ' out here. I just came out with the name for my booth space, so my thought process says it's only fate that you get to hear about it. En anglais: The Unlucky Club. Huttah.
Jeez is my ADD showing?
Anyone biased towards a gothic loli crossplayer?
I wanted to do something crazy awesome this year and just thought that would be something to remember. My best friiend and I will be gothloli crossplaying. We have male costumes though, we're going as Rabi and Allen Walker from D Gray Man as well. But I think the Gothic Loli will be our highlights.
=D
Quote from: "Elysium"Anyone biased towards a gothic loli crossplayer?
At least one attended the Tea Party gathering last year so you should be ok.
I love loli boys :3 I cant wait to see <3 and oooh tea too I cant wait for that!
D:< im not gonna oversleep this time!!
I've not been to the tea party. What's that like? Anyone have any photos of the party so I know what to expect? This is actually our first con that we're completely going all out on. We've never dressed up before and this will be my 2nd Fanime con. I'm coming a long way to be at fanime again because it was a blast last year. Although we didn't plan last year either, it was real sponteneous.
Here's the story!...
Heck yes! It's that time of year again when I get to go all out crazy at an anime con. Yes, it will be better than last year where I got up on stage and striped for the babes in the YAOI contest. (I got called newbie last year cuz I didn't have a costume! LOL) This year, I'll be more prepared (last year we found out about the striping contest just about last minute as it was our first Fanime con) This year, I'm dressing up!
I have two costumes. One is the Allen Walker costume from D-Grey Man, and the other is DA DA DA DA!!! GOTHIC LOLI! Yes, I will crossplay at least one day this year. Think Suigintou from Rozen Maiden.
This year me and my buddy decided that we're tired of being the attendee's who are taking the pics.
'WE WANT TO BE IN THE PICS' we shouted.
Then we were thinking, 'What would get us a lot of attention?' My buddy mentioned that the guys the dress up like girls get lots of attention. I said, 'I'm NOT dressing up in a girl outfit.'
To which he replied,
'Girls like guys who are comfortable with their sexuality. And besides, most of the girls we saw there, dressed up like guys. So it's not going to be as bad as you think.'
Then I said, 'OK, but nothing too crazy.'
So then it began. I started browsing jlist.com because I saw some, not custumes, but female school uniforms. I mentioned it to my friend and he's said,
'Nah man, lets go all out. In anime, does anyone care about the random anime school girl? No. They don't get the guys. They don't save the day. And in some anime, they get killed!'
'ACK!' I said.
Ok, so we're dressing up hardcore this year. First it was maid out fits.
I said 'Nah, my white legs would be too white to expose. Especially in California!' (I'm from Seattle)
'True, true.'
'We'll think of something.' He replied.
We're going for the look from the girls from Rozen Maiden. I saw someone from that anime at one of the vendors and thought that was hella sexy. So we're going for that this year.
I think we're going to have a blast! I mean, how many guys have you seen go gothic loli? I've not seen too many either here in Seattle or at San Jose cons.
Quote from: "Elysium"I've not been to the tea party. What's that like? Anyone have any photos of the party so I know what to expect?
One should expect tea, an outrageous amount of sweets, lots of good conversations and tons of photos.
Here's my pictures from last year's tea party:

Actually, it's not as rare as you think. You probably don't even notice the REALLY good crossplayers because you just asume they are the gender they're dressing up as. As you can see from my pictures of last year's gathering, there were at least a few guys there. There always have been a few guys at every gothic lolita tea party/gathering I've hosted (although they're usually dressed more dandy/gothic aristicat/not actually crossdressing). The more the merrier. :)

I actually remember that guy on the far left of the first photo. I was there with him at the Hot Yaoi thing last year and a bunch of other yaoi guys.
The tea party thing looks good. I'll be there on Sunday since we're just taking photos on Saturday.
Yay, I get some feedback. Lolz ^-^v Awesome. Hopefully i'll be there.
I'm tired of black and white Goth-Loli. It's not very tasteful use of black and white, either. No eye for proportion. No eye for taking advantage of textures. I see the theming on really good cosplayers. Much of it is not stylistic at all. Also, it's a little undermining of the 'progressiveness' of nurturing a subculture. Check out FUDGE for what's new in that scene. I've seen people in EGL scene refer to Western clothing of the Industrial Revolution era, for peacoats and felts and other cuts and textures.
Actually, there are lots of sources for Goth-Loli inspiration. Just yesterday I was at Santana Row for a fashion show featuring designs from all the boutiques in the shopping center. The MC was actually wearing this simple, no frills dress with a boat neck for the front, and v opening in the back. Crushed fabric, cool grey, with a big bow in the back. Simple, classic, and completely translatable to the Elegant GL style. It really just depends on the scene where the clothing will appear that determines what people say about it.
So really, I urge the creatives out there to make more than a statement--make an impressive one.
My sister and I might be going too *nod nod*
we'll bring snacks! :D

I hope this is a general statement! As black and white seem to be the standard colors for goth. I'm not into the goth thing but that's my observation. As a side note, there will be no black and white in my costume. Well, the bows are black and the lace is white, but the main color, what the dress is made out of, is RED!

i am also getting sick of all those plain black-and-white dresses that look like the lace section of a fabric stroe exploded on them. wha ti want to see this year is more gothic shirorori. most people think of it as a sweet lolita thing, but no~~ it can be gothic if you just try. *sighs* i need to make more lolita clothes, seeing as everything i own is either antique white or black. i need more purple~
I believe colors are in. Variety is the spice of life.
Ack! Just a little black and white is ok...right?
Although I'm a noob at the gothic thing (it's just for fun, right?) I don't want to go and get talked down because I wore a little bit of 'traditional colors' I guess. (would they even be considered tradition?)
no, no one will "talk you down". in fact, if you do it well, you will have lots of people liking you. ^-^ tradition is not bad, it is just good to venture away from that~
Hmm... I'm hosting the Guilty Gear gathering on Saturday afternoon, but I can make the sunday gathering. I'll be sure to bring snacks~
I'll probably wear one of my black/white lolita outfits, I'm in love with the colors and it looks so classic. : ) I guess people think it's overdone now? Oh well, I promise my outfit won't disappoint, even if the colors are boring. : D
Should I bring my vioin to play for all the elegant people I'll be gathering with?

ooh~~ violin~~ :D i was planning on bringing a boombox and a CD with some nice tea party music~ okay, more like, bodaiju type stuff, but i will do what i can. xD
and no, no one will be dissapointed. :3 especially if the outfit looks good~ if it is, as i said before, just like the lace section of a fabric store exploded on you, then that is not so good. but i am sure it will look great! plus, black and white looks good together, even if it is a little overdone. :3
^w^ oooh meli yes bring the violin <3 a loli gathering isnt perfect without some classical music! <3
O: I have only a black x white loli set too but thats okay ^^ im working on getting some addons like cute bows

WOOT! I got backup!
Fwou~ I might not be able to dress up, only psuedo dress-up.. but may I possibly stalk to take pictures of everyone?
whoosh
I think that's how I got the idea to break away from the idea of 'dress-up' as costume and I started to show it as philosophy. 4 years ago, I think, was when I just went to Fanime in my own clothes, self-designed and all that. There was a time when Fanime constituents blended in with the rest of society, and you either went to the con in cargoes and anime print tee, or a costume. I remember putting on a skin that I was comfortable with personally, and lots of peopel took snapshots and asked what my cosplay was. At anime cons these days, we see some mall constriction of what the 'goth' or 'punk' image wants to be sold.
It takes someone really comfortable with themself to call their outfit an expression of oneself 24/7, nonstop. It's hair, and your shoes, and your personal belongings such as backpack, glasses frame, wallet, keychain, etc. We live in a society that uses the code of attire to communicate our social relationships. Though it's not a judgement call on anyone outside of this personal paradigm, this mentality is most welcome at le Salon because it invites and elevates style consciousness in the rest of the anime community.
Just think: what were fans wearing in the past? See the previous paragraph. What have they been wearing recently? 'Cough Dropic' *hack, ew, gruaarrh, ick* What are you going to wear to this con? Make it count!
is the lolita gathering going to be joint with the Jrockers again this year...? Because last year I was the only jrocker. ^^; (I was seek, the one painted entirely blue, if you remember me. XD ) So...um, yes, if someone would tell me. XD thanks.
I'm still a rookie lolita (i've been trying for a year ><;;), so i hope to meet you guys! ^^
would you like me to bring some homemade manju or something? ^^;;
@Midnight Ryoko: i wouldn't mind jrock people coming. i like jrock ^^

XD;;;;! Gomen ne. ^^;;; I stained the hotel room at the Marriot blue as well and took the wash cloth home for a souvenir. XD;; I'll bring a straw this time if you'd like. *glomps and runs away for fear of leaving blue stains* XP
I might do a Gothic Loli think for Fanime....Crossplaying....anyone know a good site I could go to?^^; There's one site that hard this great outfit, but it only came in Medium and I don't think I could fit in there seeing as how I'm over 6' T_T

well, i know you can order from:
www.cosmates.jp

http://www.metamorphose.gr.jp/english/
and maybe from angelic pretty, but i forgot ^^.
there's also on ebay
cdjapan sells moite clothes~ <33333
umm... was it www.cdjapan.co.jp ?
O: yeah at redonculous prices XD
well you could try to use a shipping overseas place like cresent shop :3 you order to them what brand of clothes you want from which store and all and pay and they will mail it to you
=D also closet child sells overseas too! (but they require creditcards only ><)
www.closet-child.com
The -Hip Gothic- of fan extrusion. What could still survive as tasteful underground style is quickly disintigrating to make a killing off of you people!
Have a philosophy in your mundane activities, people! Communication thru clothing is one of them!
actually, i have started to desgin a dress baed off of the despcription that you gave earlier in the thread, kit. <3 it looks nice, so far.
and i am trying to gather ideas for more colours and patterns and types of things in loli dresses, but it is so hard to find the time to desgin and make all of this! ~ - ~
Haaaaail yeah!
Ideas are still dime-a-dozen. The design part involves thoughtfulness, a memory of outside experiences, and refined craftsmanship to make something truly memorable.
In any case, you are like mini-Dante Basco as Rufio of the Lost Boys! Let's have a show of fists fo' our own sistah Nina! Awooooooh!
Power.
I'll be dressing lolita. I'm not allowed to wear the stuff often so it will be all fun and ruffles for me. :D I hope to see you guys there...
does anyone know where I can buy NICE EGA clothing..? Not EGL, but EGA. >>:
Well I've made up my mind. This boy is going to go Gothic Lolita!! ^^;;
Please be gentle when I got....it'll be my first time crossplaying....and I've never cosplayed before either!! T_T
Also I hate to ask for more, but....does anyone know a good place to get the makeup for Gothic Lolita?^^;;;
I really look forward to meeting peoples \^_^/
makeup? I just use regular stuff ^^. Then again, I usually don't wear makeup.
Well I look foward to meeting everyone here. Although I don't know if I can get off work long enough for the tea party....I didn't know about it at the time I took my job.....AND Saturday is going to be a day when there's no extra help..... :cry: :cry:
Woooo makeup . . .
There's no such thing as a place to get 'gothic makeup'. Gothic is a lifestyle, but before that, it's an image. So go get a consultation for the image you want to achieve. Try MAC consultants, for they know their customers are usually comfortable with something wild and bold.
Some brands cater to a certain look, but don't let that stop you from asking.
Do not get CoverGirl or other cheap drugstore stuff. It will make you break out faster than other brands. L'Oréal is good and inexpensive; that same company manufactures Lancôme cosmetics. They are of haut qualité!
Last of all, do not invest in anything that changes the consistency of your complexion. I encourage you to stay away from concealers, face powders, heavy blushes, and other powders or creams that go on your cheeks. Trust me; do not wear the Halloween crap. Do not improvise with cheapos when it comes to yo'face.
Why risk breaking out and damaging your skin permanently? If you want to play up the pallor for a gothic look, wear contrasting clothes and eye/lip makeup. You are going for porcelaine, not bone dry. Same rule as contact lenses: do not wear makeup for too long at a time, and go wash up so you can reapply.
I'll be going if I am not scheduled to be staffing then... I will be wearing black and white because contrary to what everyone else I despise color :P (With the exception of one red dress with black lace). Also I doubt I could get the black dress I've been eyeing for a while now.
gloom gloom gloom :3

Oh yeah, makeup! I'm not very good at makeup (since I'm a guy) and gothic makeup to boot. Would it be ok to hire a helping hand? I'd be willing to pay like, 25 bucks per application for me and my buddy. Or pay for a meal at one of the hotel restaurants for you and a friend. This makeup thing is one thing I totally forgot. I had my Aunt come over for a makeup session on Tuesday to get an idea of what I would look like with makeup, but I totally zoned out that I would have to apply it!
I'm looking for somone that could help with gothic style makeup.
So, anyone interested in helping out two guys?
Does anyone know a good site or shop to get a parasol?

Don't be foolish with your money! Even someone who's good at this stuff offhand shouldn't charge anything. You can get a free consultation at any place in the mall.
Consultation means they walk you around the store and ask you what your look is supposed to be, and you choose the products in their store, and they put it on you right there. They teach you how to do your own face! Many people go to do this on the day of their Formal or Prom because it's free and they learn from it. Then, it's your prerogative to buy the product because you can use it at home with the knowledge you have gained.
On the other hand, at-con application is nice too. You can zip right to your event, and chances are, there are a bunch of cosplayers with the right tools on their person. You can make a new friend, and you can definitely dine together to make one fair favor for another. Do not pay any money to get a thin layer of pigments on your face!

He thinks he would look goofy in the stuff, he kinda offered to though.
oh well.
I must say, as far as makeup goes, for eyeliner, nothing beats Prestige. Honestly, I've tried so many other brands and have the point break a second later. >>;; For lipstick, I love Manic Panic; it rarely rubs off like others do. Eyeshadow... I agree with MAC, but I also love Urban Decay, Too Faced, and Hard Candy.
Places to get makeup: The best bet would be an Ulta, if you have one nearby. They carry every kind of beauty product known to man, minus the pretenciousness lots of stores seem to have today. ^^;; (minus rite-aid. XD) Anyway, good luck lovies. <3
Well I already have people who are willing to apply my makeup....I just need the producsts themselves ^^;;
thought i shoudl ask here- what shoudl one do about gothic lolita make-up? most make-up i have seen tends to be for either striaght gothic, which is not good for loli, or pure sweet lolita, which is not good for a darker lolita look. :/ i have asked a lot of people, and they oftentime just point me int eh direction of typical (minimal) sweet lolita make-up, but i want somethign a little bolder and darker. :/ any suggestions?
It's gunna be my first time doing this....but just do the whole gothic thing, and then work from there. See what you need and then maybeh find ways of getting lighter shades or something ^^;

It looks like you are to pave the grounds for the application of this look! The scene is so young, I'm sure there are more people with the same question than there are people with the answer to it. The best thing to do is to use theatrical photo reference and images associated with literature.
I imagine there's a level of romance or the blush of innocence you want to convey too, so take a look at classical French paintings. I doubt that the painters really used the colors that came with their subjects' actual face--hence, we 'put on our face'.
Just try a bunch of references.
Ok, and for the colored peoples out there, you don't have to go WHITE pale to go gothic in any sense. First, try contrasts in your clothing, then your hair and eyeliner. Black is so blatant, so if your filosophy doesn't shrink away, use glimmery crimsons, emeralds and ocean blues.
Exploooooore.
i think i will try more bold things with my lolita fashion and make-up from now on. <3
my mom checked out this fashion book from the library where she works, and it is great. i see so many things that can easily inspire a lolita outfit or three, and most are actually from the 1920s, which i find great. i love 1920s fashion. <3 of course, the typical 1860s is great too~ <3
fun thought: Why don't you decide what your version of loli looks like instead of worrying about what you think it needs to look like? be creative! That's what I do. XP But I'm an EGL/EGA, not a ichigo, kuro, sweet, or angel, so lots of stuff involves black, white, gunmetal, and sometimes silver. *nod* ^^
Quote from: "Ayanami Rei First Child"Well I already have people who are willing to apply my makeup....I just need the producsts themselves ^^;;
Hook a white brotha up! I got stuff! Hell, I'll BUY stuff. I'll even share with you! Quite literally, money kinda of DOES grow on trees. Be a pal? Me any my buddy are also crossplaying as gothic loli.
ok, so before it gets too hectic, some say when the day/time/location of this gathering is. <<;
I dunno you'd have to ask them yourselves. One of them is the infamous Queen of Hats whom I work for. Another are some people I met on the Fanime Board on Gaia. Just go there...seriously. I mean it would be too pretentious for me to just demand friends do your makeup when they don't even know ya. Just chill there and I'll see what I can do.
so this gathering is sunday at 12:30..?
Quote from: "Midnight Ryoko"so this gathering is sunday at 12:30..?
Um....you know what I really do not know. Sunday IS better for me though. I can get more time off on sunday, then Saturday ^^;
There are two gothic lolita gatherings during Fanime...
Sunday at 1:30 PM. Hosted by me. Meet at the fountains in front of the convention center. Spend 10 minutes taking picture there and waiting for late commers. Then we'll head off to the park (only a few minutes away) for more pictures.
Saturday at 12:30 PM. Hosted by Applesugar and a whole lotta other people. Pictures, raffle and teaparty. Meet up at artist alley tables 35-38. Location of actual teaparty will be given to you then. You should rsvp at
[email protected]Edited to show the now correct days.

however, i will be tattoo-lees for the saurday one, seeing as i will be wearing my masquerade costume just for the party and then changing back into my "chou" cosplay~ ah well. :D

Oh...:( Too much confusion. I wish I knew that she changed the date before I set the date for the one I planned to be Saturday. Hmm...
The -official- time, as of yesterday at 4:33PM is Sunday at 1:30PM (That's the photoshoot. I dunno about a tea party or anything this year)
Edit: I THINK that said official time is not Applesugar's. I found it on the CA_EGL community. Is clarification possible? My outfit's full Sweet Lolita and is darn hard to get in and out of so the more time I can plan, the better :3
Edit 2: Woot. Actually reading the thread helps, Lin. The person who I can only assume is applesugar on the Ca_egl livejournal community has announced that her photoshoot is 1:30PM on Sunday.
I myself will try to get to both. :p My outfit will be a pink outfit (Edit 3: Brand is Lucky Pinky. I keep forgetting the name) and I myself will hopefully look better than last year. (I was the blonde boy in the black and white dress, cat ears, and PVC jacket)
weird cause now im officially confused D:
Sorry! >_<
I think that the official Fanime Goth Loli thing is, as mentioned, Saturday at 1:30. It seems that there is also ANOTHER Goth Loli thing on SUNDAY at 1:30 at the fountain. o_O
To whichever organizers use this thread: Is Sweet Loli okay? :p
Let me try to clear up any confussion:
I've since gotten an email form Applesugar. Her thing (photoshoot, tea and raffle) is definatly on Saturday at 12:30. Meeting place is her art row table.
J9_photos on livejournal is me. My thing (photoshoot, starting at fountains, ending in park right around the corner) is going to be on Sunday ay 1:30 (because Applesugar changed her's to Saturday).
*I wouldn't concider either of them the official Fanime Goth Loli thing. :) Just fun gatherings.
*If you want to go to the one on Saturday Applesugar requested that you email her to let her first, that way she knows how much stuff to bring. Since mine is just a photoshoot anyone can show up, no need to rsvp.
*Sweet Loli and any other sub catagory of Gothic Loli is A-ok by me.
Does it all make sense now?
aww... then i cannot make it to either. >>

Thank you so much to everyone that came.
Who's the lucky bastard in the top hat?
Also... maybe I should attend this next year.
This year was my first year doing gothic lolita
Did you have fun? ^_^
Yes!I want to start looking for a new dress for nxt year! :D
the only thing was My feet hurt real bad from wearing heels all day :p
hehe this is me (not a very good pic though lol)
ME! (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a388/Eddiegirl/fanime003.jpg)
I am sad that I missed the Loli tea party. I really liked my lolita outfit and I would have liked to show it off :]
there was a tea party??..
aawww i guess i missed it too
I'm sooo sad and devistated that I didn't get to go! I didn't ever receive my package in time to go to ANYTHING because my stupid Dad decided to go to church rather then wait for my package and other shit!! It's TERRIBLE!! :cry: :cry:
Oh well there's always next year @.@
i saw a number of people dressed up like this..
interesting.
i am still confused on what the excitment over this is...since the word "loli" carries an extremely negative connotation with it.
and gothic loli is only seemingly acceptable in Japan cuz loli hentai holds the largest business and revenue each year :\
but none the less cosplay is cosplay and i am very happy to see someone dress up as Bara from Rozen Maiden. (with the eye patch as well)
There's a significant connotation difference between 'Gosurori,' the term describing Mana's clothing line that started the whole craze, and 'Rorikon,' which refers to the Lolita Complex. Gosurori has no more of a negative connotation than cosplay does. Rorikon is a form of pedophilia. One is a fashion style. The other is a fetish.
good point
guess i can't always group the word loli with negative means.
*Nods nods* Yeah there IS a world of difference between the two, although I didn't realize that Mana had started that fashion trend....but it DOES make a lot of sense ^^

Elysium, your dress was very good. Makes me think very hard about doing gothic lolita next year.
Hopefully I can be part of the group next year.

Trust me you're actually sounding rather normal compared to myself and others that hang out with me. I attract the most unusual people <.<;;
i was wondering if anyone is planning to make a new dress/outfit for next year. or has made a dress/outfit before. i could use some pointers since i'm attempting to make a couple this summer.
