One of the best Lulu and Chi cosplays I've ever had the fortune to see in person! ♥

It was so hot dancing at the con's rave I had to tie my pigtail clip things up into a bun on my wig and take off my blouse! oh noes!!! Just kidding. I really don't care about that stuff! XP

 Sunday:

Sunday's makeup. Not too much going on since I had work later on that day. :[

This is one of Bodyline's Wa Lolita yukatas. It is actually very nice in person!

Just in case anyone was wondering how the actual quality is! :P

I actually made this jsk but this cutie bought it from me at the swap meet the previous day since I no longer fit in the chest area. She looks soooo cute in it though! I'm really glad she has it now! ♥

OK!!!!! So thats the majority of the photos from Con-Nichiwa! It was tons of fun and I hope to be able to go to another convention again soon! ♥

Con-Nichiwa 2012

Hi! I am finally back! I had such a great weekend at the con! It was so much fun and I ran into a bunch of old friends I never thought I would see! Allthough I havnt had the chance to upload all my photos, I did manage to find other photos of my outfits to share for the time being to go along with the rundown of the con!

FRIDAY- Day 1

Cyber/raver lolita
headbow, jsk, otk socks: Angelic Pretty
Blouse: Metamorphose
Wristcuffs: Milky Way Cute
fuzzy wrist cuffs, legwarmers: Adjamba
Mask, mini bow, cupcake hair tie, kandi bracelets: made by me
Fishnets: ebay

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!

SUNDAY- Day 3

Sweet Lolita
Hair accessories: Angelic Pretty, claire's, offbrand
Blouse: rue21
Jsk: Angelic Pretty
Wristcuffs: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Bracelets: made by me
(Not shown)
Shoes: Bodyline
OTK socks: Angelic Pretty

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:

Where Did I Dissapear To?

This past week I have been so busy! First of all, I got several orders at the same time at my etsy store. Here are the things I have been working on:

Glow in the dark rainbow mask

Batman belt

Rainbow beadkini

And now I am working on another beadkini thats going to have tons of purple daisys all over it! Which is actually an idea I have wanted to try for a really long time, but never got around to it.

Aside from that, what has really kept me away and busy was a little baby mouse, who I just called Baby.

My ex boyfriend and I had a snake together. Now that we dont live together and arnt with eachother, our variable king snake Iris lives with him. A little over a week ago I went to bisit the both of them, and I picked up a baby mouse on the way over. For whatever reason, Iris didnt eat. So, I started to feel bad and didnt want the baby mouse to starve to death if it wasnt going to be eaten, so I took her home with me and took care of her.

This past week my life has been filled with constant worry if I wasnt home to take care of her, smelling like baby formula when I was home, and when I would go spend the night at my sort-of-boyfriend-but-im-not-ready-for-that-yet's house, I would pack a bag of baby suplies and bring her over with me so I could still see him, and still take care of her at the same time. Unfortunately when I woke up for her feeding, I discovered that she had passed on.

I tried really hard to not get attached just in case she didnt make it. I didnt want to know her gender or give her a name. But a week of hand feeding a baby like that with a bottle or a miniature droper, seeing that she was in fact a girl (male mice and rats do not have nipples, so eventhough i didnt want to know the gender, as soon as I saw, I knew), and by just refering to her as baby, it ended up sticking as her name, I couldnt help but become attached, so now I am quite devestated.

But, I suppose on a happier note, I am going to attend my first convention in 5 years! I am going all 3 days, and my sort-of-boyfriend said he will try to go with me too! So now I have an excuse to wear my new raver lolita outfit even sooner! Plus try an OTT outfit with my black Milky Planet jsk! It is next weekend and I am really excited! Plus, all of the lolitas will be in the same place, so its going to be loads of fun!

Though I have been to conventions before, I never went to any of the con raves. So next weekend will be my first one! To tell you the truth, I am sort of nervouse about it. I am use to real raves, so I dont know what to expect from a con rave. I have heard scary storie of people being snooty, and when asked to trade kandi, they will stick up their noses at you. Wich of course is the opposite of the real raves I go to where everyone is friendly and everyone wants to trade, and you can feel the PLUR in the air! (Plur or plurr is the rave motto for pleace love unity arespect and responsibility)

But I will have tons of pictures to share next week from the event! I am so darn excited!!!!! XD
