>>47445Just so you know, Denice in John's wife, she also caused some problems in the Houston Lolita comm. She thinks her husband can do no wrong

>>47446I wish people would put more emphasis on the money and the stealing than the "sexual harassment". TBH all these sexual harassment claims sound just all like little girls screaming "he said the sex word to me and I felt threatened".
I met John a few times and yes, he's very forward, but he's also very easy to put in place just by saying "stop, I don't like those jokes".

honestly we give Misako so much shit for ignoring the AM drama but what about cosplayers like Reika? she's constantly attending cons outside of Japan including AM and AM Hawaii.

>>48466I wish they would realize their original noses looked better.
In fact a lot of Asian beauty trends are retarded, like the weird plastic surgery that gives them an upsidedown-triangle head. Do they not realize they look retarded? I wish they knew they looked better before they fucked up their faces with make up, photoshop or whatever
