Sukoshicon Destination Anime 2013 (Day 1)

Sorry for absence, I've been caught up with wedding planning but earlier this month my city had an anime convention. Since it was so close to home I couldn't pass up the opportunity to dress up! I was sad to see there weren't any lolita panels so I took the initiative and hosted a few myself. Even though I am painfully shy it was so worth it! I got to meet out of state lolitas and new local lolitas too.

I even hosted a small lolita fashion show and dressed up some models in my clothing. Everything went better than expected and all the girls were so lovely, I like to thank them for working together so wonderfully! I had a lot of fun despite the nervousness of talking in front of a crowd and it seems all the girls did too.

It's funny, I didn't have enough petticoats so I had to rig together a few hoop skirts out of ribbon, tape and poly-tubing. It worked pretty well, each one was specially sized for the specific skirt to give the correct shape and I had to use my dress form to get the shape just right.

Although it was stressful putting together the fashion show, I think I had about 2-3 weeks to get it together, I was really proud of what I made. I'd love to run it again next year if given the opportunity.

Here's my video of the show:

Tumblr Lolita Gift Exchange

I joined the Lolita gift exchange on tumblr this year and did a little video of the gift I got.

I was in such a rush to get my present sent out that I didn't take any wip photos. But I hope she enjoyed the things I made her. I made her a matching hairbow and bow brooch using a solid pink fabric and then hand stitched some crystals and pearls to dress it up, then I made smaller a set of hairbows with a cute repeating rose pattern and another set with a mint green floral print. And lastly I made her a little felt lolita to hang on the Christmas tree.

International Lolita Day 2012

Hello, hope everyone is having a good holiday so far! Here are some photos from International Lolita Day that I never got around to uploading.

This year Tia and I had tea the day after since we couldn't celebrate it on Saturday with everyone else. And lucky us our favorite tea house changed it's hours so we could go on Sunday! Since she wanted to wear her new Love Nadia skirt I wore my jsk to match her print.

Lolita Secret Santa Meetup

A couple weeks ago I went to a Secret Santa meetup with my local community. I decided to wear a Christmas themed coord since there were a lot of Christmas events going on downtown. We all met up at the tea room to exchange gifts and have dinner, then we wandered around in a big group to check out all the fun stuff that was going on.

We got so many stares while we were having tea, people would just stop to look at us through the big windows and wave. Except for the one drunk guy there were mostly friendly reactions so I didn't mind so much and we posed for a picture with a couple little girls. It was too cute!

I was the photographer for this meetup so I have a lot of photos to share. Actually blogger's giving me a hard time so I'll try to share my favorites >.<;;;
