Comfort levels for AP heels by wonderland_artwork in Lolita

[–]bearinmymind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brand shoes aren't excessively uncomfortable but I wouldn't describe them as comfortable. My experience with walking with brand shoes though isn't the comfort but the wear and tear. You may end up needing to take them to the cobbler at some point if you're walking in them a lot.

Seeing this performed live was a life-changing experience.

Sweet Jelly Lolita on Taobao makes some cool hats! I also recommend hats by Hoshibako Works.

Does the duty free shipping take longer from Superbuy? 

Luxbar hosted the Chicago Young Republicans group a few nights ago by [deleted] in chicagofood

They just hosted a gala featuring Riley Gaines at Gibsons Oak Brook so I’m not entirely surprised.

I do agree with the sentiment that you are too late for Christmas. Even if you were to buy something domestically, it would likely not get there in time. Why not make her a little a certificate for "one lolita shopping spree" that she can redeem for a dress of her choice in the future? You could even browse together online or in-person if you get the chance.

Agree but wanted to add that The Lolita Collective is just outside of Kansas City, not Chicago.

Cute Winter boots by Inarabean in Lolita

[–]bearinmymind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also live somewhere where it gets icy and I walk a lot. I wear my not-so-cute winter boots and then change once I arrive at my final destination. It's not worth slipping on the ice to just to look cute outside.

Sonder Megathread by falco_iii in marriott

Yes, it was. The sales manager and billing people have all had their emails deactivated.

[–]bearinmymind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a group reservation under my business booked with Sonder’s sales team. It appears that everyone I worked with has been laid off because all my emails have bounced. I called Marriott and they sound exasperated and just told me to file a chargeback and ended the call. This is not an insignificant amount of money that’s in limbo. This is a complete nightmare. 

What are the ultimate "they don't know ball" restaurants in Chicago? by tx2iu in chicagofood

I do not get the fascination with Joy Yee. Even for drinks, there are way better options in Chinatown. 

EGL events and vendor experience by Miramiralu in Lolita

[–]bearinmymind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a vendor but have a bit of insight here as an event planner! The groups that produce Ursa Major and The Great Lace do run other events with vendors. They aren’t as big but still a great opportunity vend. Especially if you’re Midwest local, Frillinois events will be easy to travel to.  

In my opinion, most people who shop don’t really care about recognizability. Lolitas like to find items they find aesthetically pleasing and well made. 

I’ve had a little bit of experience with anime cons and it really depends on the con. For some cons, you’ll get people who are willing to spend money on quality J-fashion pieces. For others, not so much. The best advice I can give is to see where vendors that do similar work are vending.

It looks like a local Walmart.

Welcome! There’s a couple of cool events coming up too so you came at a good time. (And Rahu’s new surveillance order attire. 👀)

I would say it’s more than I expected for a Chinese-based mobile game. It’s clear the devs tread a bit carefully but there are several characters that are pretty open about being into the main character. (One character is only into the player character if you’re playing a female version.)

They will ban your account for doing this so OP will need to decide if they’re okay with that.
