You Should Not Do This

20.10.11 / cosplay / Author: / Comments: (0)

Here are a few common examples I have come up with of bad examples of Lolita attempts. Here I will explain what is wrong and you should not do this.

Many beginners might look at this and think it is a great example of Gothic Lolita, but actually, it’s not that great. See the lace going the whole way down both sides? It appears to be some form of cheap synthetic lace. It is also very big, and takes most of the attention from the rest of the dress. The rest of the lace also looks very out of place and appears to be bad lace too. Her socks were also an awkward choice for this outfit because as you can see, there is no white corset lacing on her dress to match that of her socks.

There are a few reasons why this is a bad example of Lolita. First of all, notice the corset lacing. It looks very awkward and sloppily done. It is also very long horizontally which makes it seem even more awkward. Then there is the high collar. High collars can work very well with the right dress, but it simply does not look good with this type of dress. Then there is the random cut-off point making the black part end and the rest of the bottom to become white. This also looks awkward, because the black just stops all together, the assymetrical part on the side makes this look even worse.

Dresses of this style seem to be quite popular with beginners for some reason. But the fact of the matter is, this is a terrible dress. First of all, and I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, the lace that seems to frame the torso looks very cheap. The corset lacing is also badly done and the ribbon coming off of it is far too long. Then there is the color combination. It is okay to have the black, white, and red combination if you are wearing something plaid, but not like this. The red really detracts from the rest of the outfit making it look bad. This dress also happens to be from an Ebay seller, which could explain the obviously bad construction.

Exotic Lolita around the World

09.10.11 / cosplay / Author: / Comments: (0)

Lolita fashion first started in 1980s in Japan streets and gradually spread around the world. Many young women in America and Europe have become fan of Lolita dresses. There are varieties of exotic Lolita dresses such as Gothic Lolita, Elegant Gothic Lolita, Punk Lolita, Sweet Lolita etc. All styles of Lolita dresses come with distinct features.

Lolita fashion is not only a reflection of a super high fashion sense of Japanese people, but it also reflects the Japanese society and culture. Japanese society has a deep sense of fashion, trends and new styles.  It is their culture, tradition and the level of income that are playing the most significant role in determining how to dress.

Lolita fashion garments commonly use frills, lace, petticoats, head-dresses and skirts. Gothic Lolita is the term that is used for a young lady or a man that wears such dress.

Although it was the novel of Vladimir Nabokov that made the name “Lolita” famous. In this novel an relationship between an older man and a young girl named “Lolita” has been described. In order to refer a child-like, cute look of clothing, Japanese accepted this word from English. As regards Lolita fashion, it emphatically refers to cute looking and not to a sexual meaning.

People mostly confuse Gothic Lolita with Lolita fashion. Gothic Lolita is only a subset of the whole Lolita fashion world.  This fashion reminds of an older time and is a complicated and elegant fashion. Gothic Lolita is a completely different style of Japanese creativity and thought, used in different apparels and accessories. There are different categories of exotic Gothic Lolita style fashion garments that have world-wide presence.

The name Gothic Lolita is derived from dark and scary aspects of the Gothic.  Gothic Lolita, therefore, represents detailed and distinct dark elegance and Gothic style with innocence and elegance. Gothic Lolita is a fashion of teenagers and young women in Japan.  This fashion is liked by various men also. Girl’s clothing of this fashion emphasizes Edwardian fashion as well as Victorian-style.  A girl wearing these fashion garments gives an appearance of a Victorian porcelain doll with puff sleeves, bell shape, low neckline, and corset decorated with number of laces and crinoline.

During the years 2004 and 2005 popularity of Lolita fashion touched a peak in Tokyo and since then Lolita fashion garments have been recording widespread presence around the world.

Apart from fashion, living a Lolita style of life refers to a philosophy of living more than to a dressing style. That means, people who are living in a Lolita life style generally live a life like a princess and make use of beauty items for decorating; they enjoy thinking of  themselves as persons who are never going to grow up.

Halloween Props

Despite the fact that Halloween is highly entertaining holiday for children and adults alike, many individuals experience injuries that could have been prevented if the proper safety measures were taken. In this Halloween decorating guide, you will learn about several safety tips for Halloween props. Cosplay One Piece

Many of the Halloween props sold on the market today implement the use of electricity in order to add the appeal of lighting, movements, and other effects such as sound. Naturally, if electricity is required to provide power to a Halloween decoration, there will be a cord involved. Inuyasha Cosplay

 

 

When placing your Halloween props, it is absolutely essential to pay close attention to the location of the cord. On the most part, it should be hidden. It is important to avoid allowing an electrical cord dangle, remain in the path of those that may walk past it, and be placed in an area near water or other liquids.

When using Halloween props such as fake spider webbing and items that move, it is important to avoid placing these items in an area where individuals may walk into them or be caught up on them. Halloween costumes often flow as an individual walks and many are larger than the wearer, so it is important to be alert to the fact that some costumes may become caught up on decorative webs and even animatronic Halloween decoration items that move.

These are not the only props that may prove to be a danger to individuals wearing costumes. Halloween Props such as candles are also dangerous. This Halloween, instead of using candles, elect to use battery operated lighting.
 

Cosplayers at Cure

16.03.11 / cosplay / Author: / Comments: (0)

Opened in 2001 by major Japanese online portal Livedoor, Cure records a staggering 50 million page views each month and a significant number come from foreign sources. With this in mind, Livedoor has rolled out English localization for Cure effective June 12, 2008.

Once registered, Cure members can upload photos and flesh out a personal profile with information including their province, blood type, vital stats and their hobbies. Privacy is optional – somewhat surprisingly, many of the photos and listed information are accessible by non-registered users. cosplay for sale

 It remains to be seen if cosplay itself will become as popular elsewhere as it is in Japan, but Cure’s concept looks to be a winner whether or not imitating Sailor Moon is your secret – or not so secret – desire.

 

Cosplayers in Japan refer to themselves as reiyā; pronounced "layer". Those who photograph players are called cameko, short for "Camera Kozō" or "Camera Boy". Originally the cameko give prints of their photos to players as gifts. Increased interest in cosplay events both on the part of photographers and cosplayers willing to model for them have led to formalisation of procedures at events such as Comiket. Photography takes place within a designated area removed from the exhibit hall.

 Cosplay costumes at fan events likely originated in Japan in 1978. Cosplay nevertheless gets a mixed reception in Japan even today. Events in districts such as Akihabara draw many cosplayers, yet there is no shortage of people in Japan who regard cosplay as a frivolous endeavor.

Japan’s biggest community site for cosplayers, "Cure", has grown to a very respectable 300,000 registered users. With English localization now in effect, the number of Cure users who are not Japanese is expected to grow substantially. Anime cosplay

Cosplay is still a mystery to many non-Japanese. Literally "costume play", fans of the culture enjoy dressing up to resemble a favorite anime character – or just dressing up in general. Of course, once they’ve done that, then it’s natural to want to show off your cool, unique look. What better way then to post pics on the Internet, or even your cellphone? That’s where sites like Cure come in, and they’re coming in like mad if one can believe the "42,382 Cosplayers are in activity!" banner displayed at the Cure site.
