A lot of people in that thread are forgetting that Baby designs lolita clothing for lots of anime. I think that makes lolita fashion pretty anime-related.

wow, are they serious? where the hell else is anything going to happen?
She might as well say "I'd be happy if we never talked or did anything ever again"

This is a disappointment and I just found out about this today too. I am very sad this is happening. I've heard there are two lolita panels this year, but this year no indie lolita fashion show. I was looking forward to going to Otakon before I start grad school. Now Otakon has made up my mind and I'm not going.

I don't think many know that Baby designs lolita clothing. I didn't know, I lurk lolita threads (not a lolita) but I've not heard of this before.

It's more anime related then the K-Pop, and Korean drama panels I've seen. I just it seems silly especially since the Lolita Fashion shows are packed every year. The Indie Lolita Fashion Show is extremely popular and I am sad to see that it won't be going on this year. It's honestly one of my favorite parts of the convention. I mean looking at the pannel line up I can see at least 5 things that will have an extremely limited audience.

I am hoping they'll bring it back next year if enough people voice their disappointment.

I was thinking this. I only go to CT Con, but I can safely say a lot of non-anime stuff gets in. I'm thinking specifically of Burlesque panels and stalls selling pocket knives.

(not complaining about the burlesque panel or anything- I'm going to it anyway. Just saying a lot of things that are in no way related to anime are in conventions.)

>all those asspained lolitas in the egl thread

Hmm maybe the lolitas who did the fashion show were a pain in the ass for Otakon stafff? Perhaps?

I think you forgot a couple words or you misread my post.

God laiferr is always such a dumb cunt.

Carla for sure, but I know the ladies who took over the show for the past two years or so were nothing but sweet and cooperative in my experience.

Holy hell that was just a cluster fuck. Yeah, I meant many people know that baby designs lolita clothing for anime.

Pardon that horrible post, I can't english today.

*don't
Fuck it. No more posting for me. I'm done.

I have always thought that a large Lolita presence at anime cons was weird, weebish and incongruous.
I have always thought that con only lolis (who never wear the fashion outside if a con- no matter how perfect or how ita they look) are just cosplaying as a loli.
I don't care about if someone is or is not a "real" Lolita but I just don't think that cons should be bullied into catering into something that they don't want to present.

TBH, the lolita fashion shows are the only panels at otakon I go to and basically the only reason I still go besides seeing other lolita I know / shopping indie brands.

I'll be attending the two lolita panels (lolita 101 and lolita shopping), but I'm wondering how big of a room they will get and if the lack of a fashion show will mean that they will be packed.

I had a though, if we won't get an Indie Lolita fashion show at Otakon what if we arranged things to try and get it at another East coast convention? I know that the one at Otakon is organized by Charm City Lolitas so how about a con near that like Katsucon? I am thinking about suggesting it to the community but i am not sure how they would react.
