Wigging out!

This is how:

 I fit this hair:

Into this wig:

And for 80 cents, this Sailor Mercury wig is a sTEAL.

Yes, it looks cheap.

Yes, I can see my hair through the back.

But.... 80 cents!!!

If you divide the Fun by the price: (Fun)/(80 cents)= 1 yotta Value!

Fanime 2013 day 3: Lolita Sunday

On the third day of Fanime, my true love gave to me, Do-o-nut Ring~>

We were messing around at the info-desk outside of registration, with my new found Mini Krispy Kreme's ring. I remembered Krispy Kreme donuts being quite oil-filled, but this one was killer.

Pre-Holiday Gathering

Before the holidays, my old co-workers and their families were visiting, so we all went out to dinner. My brothers came too.

Shanghai Dumplings Saturday

That day I saw Sweet Loulita, and received my Tralala lucky pack from MaruQ. I put on the clothes right away, since they were more comfortable for traversing the city for eats. With my Super Limited wardrobe choices, I tossed this outfit on. I wanted to match my Hello Kitty Gnome bag.

Anime Expo 2012, Blue Exorcist, and Prinny, o, my! Last day to play.

On the last day of AX, I wandered with my brother. He was catching all the posters and autographs during AX. There were lots of huge and cool anime posters like this Blue Exorcist one. There's someone I want to cosplay in Blue Exorcist, can you guess who?

It's like I'm their friend...

Saloppette Faturday and Funday in October

It was a busy weekend in October, so to encourage myself, I wore a Quick-like-a-Bunny outfit. On Faturday, someone made and shared Star Wars ginger cookies at the meeting!

Weekend before Halloween 2012

 So of course, the weekend before Halloween, I had to get into the Costume Spirit. Gloomy-ness is traditionally appreciated, which I embraced on Saturday, and on Sunday I was simply Clowning around.

Gloomy goes to School.

 

Grr, eating!

Hoodie and Skirty: Gloomy X Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Stockings: Forever 21 (Gift from Baby Bro)

This was a small pumpkin patch right outside Oto's supermarket. Although it's Small, it's good, it's still good. It's also the only patch I went to this year.

Just trying to fit in.

 

Has a darker 'bottom.'

Backpack: Nerds
Bow: Gloomy X Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Shirt: Hello Kitty X Uniqlo
Pants: Putumayo
Stockings: Forever 21 (Gift from Baby Bro)
Shoes: Rockport

I got this Hello Kitty shirt from New York Uniqlo, it was also on sale, and one that I'd been looking for a while. I get 5x happier when I get the thing I've been waiting for, and on sale! Also, Uniqlo donates a portion of the proceeds to support Hellosmile, a cervical cancer prevention awareness group.

Thanks for reading! ^_^v

Alice in Wonderland

 For a Lolita, Alice is someone close to our hearts. Even if we don't personally like her, we see her often as a theme. Luckily for me, I love Alive in Wonderland.

So as a last minute Proper Halloween outfit, I chose to do a casual, punk Alice. The punk part is very subtle, mostly just the bright Teal colour and certain patterns bring it to mind, otherwise it's a very simple Alice, indeed.

Simple bow

 I carried this Mushroom around. I got him in NY, and there will be more back story on him soon.

Alice took a Mushroom home.

 Cutsew: Putumayo
Apron, Tights & Skirt: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Socks: Hello Kitty
Shoes: Steve Madden

My basic concept was Disney's Alice in Wonderland, the cartoon. She dons a simple blue dress, white apron, black ribbon, blond hair, white tights and black shoes. Since I have black hair, I used a blue ribbon. And to increase the bit o' punk, used striped socks.

Headless Alice!

Heart is removable.

My 'Eat Me' photoshoot, with the help of Erin E. She also baked the Black Cat Cookie!

It said, 'Eat Me.'

Almondy.

Eh?

*Gasp*

Whoa!

The Moral of the story: Eat Cookies, get Big!

Kawaii International Submission

On Oct 1, Japan time, I submitted my first entry into a Kawaii International Fashion Show Off contest. This show is targeted at the internationally cute, and done in English & subtitled. They usually have special fashion star guests, such as my Idol, Misako Aoki. It's a useful resource for novice and amateur fashion followers alike.

Originally, I first wanted to submit to their Cosplay Fashion Show Off contest. The theme was how you incorporate Cosplay into everyday fashion. But ran out of time to put on the outfit and take photographs. Here's my idea:

Sketchy, ne?

My Cosplay theme was... you guessed it, Hello Kitty! There would have been Kitty all over, as well as Hello Nekomimi if I had time to sew them. The colour pallete represents Old School Hello kitty, Royal Blue and Bright Red.

This time around, the theme was Hime Gyaru: show off your Prince or Princess fashion. Again I ran out of time to do the outfit I wanted:
 

Bare minimum sketch

 I had laid out the outfit, and head accessories, but last weekend was just too busy. (Will write about the weekend soon.)

Although I felt very ill with a big headache that night, I still wanted to try, so instead I submitted these three shots from my Putumayo Tea Party post:

    

My theme was The Lil' Prince Punk. His story goes that he's a charming, mischievous brat, who likes to spend his time decorated and sipping tea rather than in his kingdoms' affairs. But he's smart, so his people still love and trust him. He will Punish you with Cute. Ganbatte~>
