I think finding shoes that fit me became impossible

Hii

I recently got new rocks platform shoes and I tried wearing them outside (currently doing it) and my feet already hurt like hell, even tho I just walked from one end of a train platform to another 🫠

I can't even return them anymore since I now wore them outside so guess that's 250€ wasted down the drain

I also got 2 pairs of more "jirai-ish" platforms from Taobao (antainia) and while they are at least a little bit more comfortable to walk in, the issue here is that I always slide out of the shoe - do you guys have any tips for that?

Anyways, guess I will continue to wear my converse again when going outside in jirai outfits, god I hate having size EU44 😭

Am I supposed to fit into these?

Hii, I recently got new rock boots and while they seem to be ok with the shoe size, I can't get into them because of the rubber in the middle. Am I trying to put them on wrong?

Do these Buffalo's fit to Jirai Kei?

Hii,

I'm planning to buy new shoes that I can wear in casually and pair together with Jirai Kei, currently I have some basic converse, but now I'm thinking about getting these Buffalo's, do you think they fit?

Or should I rather get New Rock and if yes, which one do you recommend? Or should I get different shoes? (Size EU44)

(i also want to get ribbon shoe laces, like these: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0DZH7H63Y)

Is it safe to travel to Ethiopia as a trans woman?

Hii!

I just received a info from my boss that we got a new customer in ethiopia and that it could happen that we need to travel to ethiopia sometimes.

From what I've read, ethiopia is not safe for LGBT people who live there.

But what about tourists? Is it like in Dubai where we instantly go to prison once we get outed? Or is it more like "ew a tra**y" and that's it? Or are ethopian people rather chill with it as long as it doesn't affect them?

For context, no one at work knows I'm trans, but I'm still rather tall (almost 190cm) and not sure if I pass 100%

Subcul Jirai clothes for tall girls?

Hii,

I would be kinda interested in trying subcul jirai, after wearing Jirai for a year (kinda want to do it now since in the current heat subcul jirai would probably be better lol)
I tried searching for plus size shops that offer subcul clothes for tall people, especially tops, but most shops just sell either free size or max. size M

Makeup Studios (or similar) specialized in jirai makeup in Tokyo?

Hii,

I saw this video from CDawgVA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KND3AicsM3M) today about Gyaru and wondered if something similar (especially for makeup) also exists for Jirai Kei in Tokyo, I would really like to get the makeup done since I have 0 experience in that regard

I appreciate for your understanding and support.

This obviously was pretty weird to me, since I 1. booked the room on booking.com, not airbnb and 2. i already booked 2 other airbnb's for september and non of them required that.

I couldn't find any information of "servebotai" and also no reviews of the hotel / apartment

Does this actually exist and is safe?
