Old one died and I needed to get this out

>Have friend
>Sweetest girl ever talented UX designer
>But also overweight and makes terrible cosplay choices
>She posts progress photos for Miss Monochrome costume made purely from duct tape
>Pretty much as bad as it sounds

I'm caught in this weird feeling of I know this is a failure that deserves to be shared on cgl. but if she ever found out she got posted and ridiculed she would be humiliated. But her costumes are never really good and we aren't close enough to the point I should be trying to guide her. She's unfortunately also being influenced by this terrifying local hambeast cosplayer with a ton of chubby chaser followers who loves making duct tape cosplays of things that don't deserve to be duct tape. I'm just rambling now but it really is terrible. Imagine a duct tape dress form for a short obese girl but it's made to look like Rin Kagamine's Meltdown dress.

So, a friend of mine is kinda dragging me to this con and it's my first time going so I have to ask:

>What to expect at this convention?
>What events are worth going to at said con?
>Who to avoid at this con, be it photog or congoer?

How was your scorching hot Christmas anons?

Summary
>Con owner, Mike, stole money from friends and staff
>Guests and winners weren't paid for 6+ months
>Most of the staff has quit
>Con still doesn't have a business license
>Desperate ads trying to sell badges keep coming up on Facebook
>How far away will Mike be when the con starts and how much money will he have stolen

Please refrain from bringing up unfounded gossip or personal drama in this thread. Keep it focused on Newcon and the (small) group of people who run it.

Did Crispin Freeman really cancel as a guest? Will anyone even show up to the con?

Happy to see we have yet another muslimita.

Kitacon tickets went on sale today; the convention sold out in around 20 minutes including all VIP spots.

The rules list is pretty strict this time. Committee members have said that many of the rules have been set by the hotel. Your room will be cleaned daily, and any DND sign ignored after 11am. If you get too drunk they can escort you to your room and/or kick you out of the con. Real fur is banned, as is outside food. Nobody's clear if this is just in the entire hotel or if you can still eat in your room.

And finally, Kita owns all your pictures, asides from those taken in private rooms. Because nobody wants to see your shitty after dark CMV.

So many local cosplays i see on Facebook are absolute shit. Half assed efforts = half assed results
