Upcoming Meet Up Coordinate

It is getting a lot cooler in Hawaii so I'm rather excited to wear my frills without having to deal with the heat and humidity. My frilly friends and I have set up another mini meet up, this time at The Dole Plantation. The grounds are pretty nice but the biggest pull would be the Pineapple Garden Maze. The maze itself has been declared the one of the largest in the world covering 3 acres and having almost 2.5 miles of pathways.

 I'm rather excited for this meet and have already got my outfit set up for the day. Still not too sure of what to use as a headpiece or which wig to use for that matter. I asked a friend to borrow a pair of his shoes that he had purchased from Bodyline about a year ago since none of the shoes I currently have go with the coordinate. Much to my surprise he offered to sell them to me for a steal since they don't fit him properly.

★What do you want more then anything right now?★

I'm pretty content with my life at the moment. I have recently scored a job and am excited to be able to make my own money. There is one thing I do want. Lolita friends are hard to come by so every time I meet another Lolita I'm really happy. The one thing I wish for is that my closest Lolita friends will always be connected. Erica is currently studying abroad in Japan and Tania is going to be leaving later next month. It saddens me that we can't physically spend time together but I cherish every second I spend with them. The fashion itself takes quite a bit of courage to wear out and in my case being a male, I have to really push myself to leave my house in my frills. Being with others that share the same passion for this fashion niche makes it a whole lot easier. My oldest Lolita friend would be Sam. Although she is just starting to wear it, she has long been a fan of it. Ashley is my newest Lolita friend and is super fun to be around. These girls make up my core group of Lolita friends and I don't think I would have the courage to wear it out without them. They make me feel like less of an oddity and inspire me to care less of what society thinks as far as gender appropriate clothing goes. They are all so important to me and I hope we will never fall out of contact.

Until next time,

Tania had decided to have a small meet up with her a few of her local Lolita friends for her birthday. Sam and I went to the UH dorms to meet up with her and get dressed before heading out the the restaurant to meet up with Ashley. It was a little bit of a challenge to find the place but with the help of technology we found it after some trial and error. The restaurant was set in a lush environment with many trees and flowering plants everywhere. Finding parking on the other hand, was quite the challenge. After rounding the area a couple of times we where able to snag a spot relatively close to the restaurant. The restaurant itself was a quaint little building surrounded by a garden. The interior was similar to that of a country home.

We were quickly seated and ordered our drinks. I had opted for the mango daiquiri. One good thing depending on how you look at it, is that all the drinks are alcohol free.

We chatted for a short while before our orders were taken. I was feeling full that day from having cake for breakfast and devouring some of the Ferrero Rocher candies that Tania had in her dorm room. Tania and Sam chose to have pocket sandwiches and Ashley had a salad.

After finishing their meals our waitress came by to see if anyone wanted desserts. I was set for the meal with that drink being way more filling than I had expected but she had brought out the dessert tray to show us what was available. I cracked once I saw the brownie option. we all decided to get dessert in the end.

After being stuffed to the limit, we set out to Waikiki to check out the Hello Kitty collection at Forever21. The Waikiki Forever 21 is amazing and is 3 floors of awesome. We also checked out a small shop that carried many cute things and Asian cosmetics. After, we went to Sephora before splitting up to go out separate ways.

MEET UP DISASTER

A friend and I decided that I would be  fun to have a small pre Halloween meet up with a couple of our Lolita friends. We had decided on an Alice in Wonderland theme and would dress up as Lolita versions on Alice,The White Rabbit, The Cheshire Cat and The Mad Hatter. I had chosen to be The Mad Hatter. When the day finally arrived, I got up rather early to get ready. When I came out of my room I was rather surprised not to see my sister anywhere in sight. I later found out from one of my nieces that she went out with one of her friends and that I was to watch her kids. WTF~ I had been waiting for this day to come for weeks and my sister screwed me over. Being rather upset because I had told everyone that I was going out on that day and all the time I had wasted getting ready I sulked for the rest of the day. I attempted to text my sister to see when she would be back but she kept saying later and never gave me an exact time. I pretty much let the kids do whatever they wanted and just made sure that no one died and the house didn't burn down. When my sister returned, I simply bitched her out and direct her to the enormous mess that her kids had made. Her friend that she went out with for the day felt rather bad knowing that my sister ruined my day and had brought me a box of sweets from cake shop they had visited.

I decided to go for a darker Visual Kei inspired look for The Mad Hatter. I don't have a full outfit shot but the pieces I used were from Alice and the Pirates, h.NAOTO, B.P.N. and Innocent World. I had also made a small card to adorn my hat with since The Mad Hatter would not be as recognizable with out his 10/6 card.

I hope that in the future we could maybe revisit this theme. I really like the way everything looked together and was heart broken that I couldn't attend the meet. I swear the next time my sister pulls this shit on me there will be dire consequences...

アイ・メイク・テスト

I've decided to try out the fake crease make up that many visual kei artist sport. I did not apply any foundation or concealer before doing my eyes so my skin looks uneven and reddish. I think after darkening the crease and blending it a little better it would look perfect for the Mana inspired outfit.

Until next time,

☆もうすぐハロウィン☆

☆HALLOWEEN☆

With Halloween only a few days away, I can barely contain my excitement. I've decided to wear Gothic Lolita. Something dark and elegant seems quite fitting for this holiday.

闇の女王様

Blouse: Metamorphose temps de fille

JSK: Moi meme Moitie

Rose Canotier: BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT

Socks: Innocent World

Shoes:Bodyline

Lace Tights: Off brand

Gloves: Off brand

The look I'm going for is very Mana inspired with black and blue being the only colors present in this coordinate. I'm not too sure how well I will do being covered head to toe in Hawaii's weather but thankfully it has started to cool off at night. I'm not too sure what I'll be doing on Halloween but I'll take any chance to dress up.

Until next time,

Now I need that dress

It seems Kaya's new single shares the same name with one of  Alice and the Pirates' most sought after prints. Vampire Requiem is am absolutely gorgeous print but the hype around it has inflated the price and contributed to it's rarity despite having 2 releases. I dream of one day owning the long JSK in the kinari colorway. I would be rather mind blowing to have the print and attend a live performance~

Until next time,
