For starters, the convention was only a 15-20 minuet drive away from my house, and it was $45 for the whole weekend pass. So I didnt spend much and I also didnt have to worry about getting a room at the hotel. I think I only spent about $15 in gas driving back and forth every day, and thats only because I have a horrible sence of direction and I got lost the first day, saturday i got lost trying to find a Carl's Jr to get some burgers, and somehow I got lost driving home on sunday.
While there wasnt much going on the first day, It was a nice way to scope out the area, meet a few people before it got too hectic, and check out the vendors hall. I actually ended up running into two of my best friends from high school! So that was really fun to catch up! I tried my hand at doing the para para dance to the Carmel Song, and failed epicly, but it was loads of fun! I even ended up being in the J-fasion show! I was really scared at first, but as soon as I was on stage it all went away. I really hope I have a chance to do it again!
SATURDAY- Day 2
Deco/OTT/Bittedsweet...I really dont know how to classify this one since all the elements I have included are all things I love...I guess this is my inner lolita that I want to look like 24/7! XP
Jsk, headbow, socks, shoes: Angelic Pretty
Blouse: Meta
Gloves: vintage
Everything else: handmade, claire's, off brand
I ended up leaving early Friday night so I could spend the rest of the night preparing for Saturday. The frst thing I went to was a Gyaru pannel, which is another style I have loved from afar (mainly hime gyaru). It was really interesting seeing all the different styles of gyaru! I also saw a lolita coordination pannel. Though I dont think I need it, its always fun never the less to see what others have to say about lolita, and it was fun to see the new lolita faces! We also had a swap-meet during the con. We got to go threw eachothers things, and even the con-goers got to look too. I ended up selling about half the things I brought with me, which were 2 GIANT tote bags. Most of the people who bought from me were people who were new to the fashion or who were interested in starting. I will admit I was very annoyed at some people who scoffed at my prices, not knowing how much it originally cost ME! But if they do actually pursue lolita, they will learn! Haha XD
After the swap was over, it was time to get down to some serious business at the con rave! It was my first con rave so I was really excited!! Though I was telling someone I was excited because Ive only gone to real raves in the past, but I have a lot of online friends who have only gone to con raves, and I was eagre to experience on, and he just looks at me and said, "I know your dressed in lolita, but you dont have to be a snob!"
I was so shocked! I allready have a fear of people calling me a snobby lolita at cons since I hear a lot of stories of newbies having bad experiences with the more experienced girls. But that was so insulting to me to be called a snob! Anywho, asie from that it was tons of fun and I danced a ton! Untill the DJ played dubstep...which I admit I like dubstep, but I DONT KNOW HOW TO DANCE TO THAT!!! In fact, I dont know anyone who knows really how to dance to it. Its just undanceable! XD And the DJ wasnt very good af transitioning from song to song. The transitions were not smooth at all. He would go from a pretty trance like dance beat straight into some wierd rock music, to some super fast upbeat anime sounding song. It was kind of odd, but I was happy and danced, and I even traded kandi with a few people! I cant wait for my next con and con rave!

This was a fun and relaxing day. I went to a few cosplay pannels, but mainly just walked around before I had to leave for reality. I bought a few things from vendors and got lasf minuet photos. I had to leave a bit early because I did have work later which sucked, but it wasnt so bad.
I cant wait to have another chance to go to a convention! I cant believe its been 5 years since my last one! Stay tuned and I will be posting all the pictures from this past weekend! I have so many it needs a post all too themselves! It will also include makeup closeups and hopefully better/lezs blurry photos of my outfits.
Hope you all enjoyed! c:
