Geez, I wish I knew there were Lolita panels. I mean I knew there was the Gothic and Lolita Bible thing going on..but uhh. I'm kind of turned off by the whole thing. I would have went to your panel Amanikitty. I was too busy stalking Voltaire >_>;
Though...the last time I went to a panel on Japanese fashion..it just reeked of fail. The two girls running the panel seemed to have no idea what they were talking about, and when someone wanted to discuss something, they'd just change the subject. on top of that, they were in cosplay ._. and had small little picture diagrams no one could see....anyway, it would have been nice to see a panel run by someone who actually knew something. I think the audience knew a lot more than they did XD;
Anyway, perhaps I missed it while reading the thread...Blasphemia's Closet? Is that what they were selling in the dealer's room? They looked nice from afrar, but then when I got close, I saw how shitty it was. And felt the material..>_> and then saw it was soo much. I saw a few people on Sunday wearing the dresses..with jeans and sneakers. >_>;;

xD HAH. At least you SAW Voltaire. >>; If you were there on Sunday, you probably saw me running around in heels and panicking D;.
We did bad though. Not in the sense that we were presenting a bunch of fail, but since it was our first actual panel we were really nervous and trying to hurry and get through with it. Other than that we didn't have my PPpresentation that I worked on because of last minute problems. ;_;
But, we're gonna try and do much better this year, once we find when the official date is. >>; I'm already hounding the program director for spots. If Tokyopop ever tries to come and jump in on my panel plans again, it's not going to work this time because we're working to have the Lolita events on at least 2 or 3 days instead of just one. But I think compared to Tokyopop ours were much more better. As far as I've heard (I was only there on Sunday but some other lolitas were there all days) hardly anyone as looking at their presentation until they decided to pull out free gifts and whatnot. But then again they didn't have an actual panel room. But with our panel, only 4-5 people walked out but for the most part the panel room was pretty full and even after we had given out lottery lolita items (headdresses, etc. in gift bags), people didn't leave right away and they collected the skirt and bow tutorials/patterns we had made copies of.
It was overall a good experience. :3

ugh I had my whole response typed out, then my laptop crapped out on me. x_x
aw you didn't get to see Voltaire D: you must have really been running around. He had his booth in the dealer's room
Powerpoint presentation eh? Thats cool, even if you didn't have it, I think its cool you had one ready. I'm sure you guys dressed the part, so you atleast had that. The people who ran the panel I went to at another con wore cosplay outfits. ^^;
I don't see why the con couldn't have had yours and Tokyopop's on different days instead of Tokyopop raiding yours. But I guess since it was NYAF's first year, things were a bit disorganized.
I think its awesome you gave out prizes :] thats a great way to keep people in the panel AND you even handed out patterns. I think thats awesome. Next year I will definitely go to your panel :]
Nah, Tokyopop DID have their "panel" and "fashion show" on other days, the thing was that they ended up pushing my panel to one of the last panels on the last day of the convention. :/
But, since I reserved my place before THEY did, they ended up doing their thing in the open and not in an actual panel room like we did.
