Day 2 of SacAnime in January 2013. I took the bus to the Convention Center. At the bus stop, a gentleman told me I looked great, and that I 'Brightened' up his day. I smiled for the pun, and thanked him for the compliment. On the bus, the happy passengers asked each other if they'd seen the 'freak show' that's happening at the Convention Center. I giggled on the inside.

My Brother's Birthday Bash
My brother's birthday in November 2012, we went to eat Hot Pot. That is all you can eat, Chinese-style fondue. I cherish the times my whole family can be together.

Anime Expo 2012 and My Idol, Misako Aoki! Take 2, and Action.
The morning of my Day 2, I grabbed some quick food. The motel we stayed at had free coffee and doughnut breakfast. The coffee was surprisingly decent, and the doughnuts were fresh, sweet. My cupcake for the day is pictured also. I made the cupcake portion, and the top black and white rose is formed from an hNaoto bandanna which came in a magazine. I added some Hangry & Angry charms and safety pins.
We were allowed to take photos with her, too.
Cupcake: Handmade with hNaoto rose, Hangry & Angry charms
Black roses: Black Peace Now
Scrunchie: Gramm
Bunny Cuffs: Angelic Pretty
Black Cuffs: Chantilly
Pocket watch: Gift from M-ko
Dress: Frill
Stockings: Holley Tea Time
Shoes: Payless
Hair, nails, makeup: Me
That morning I rushed to get Misako Aoki's autograph at the Angelic Pretty/Harajuku Hearts booth. Misako-san also models for Putumayo, which she is wearing pictured below.
At the booth, the shopgirl, Yuri, said that in Japan Putumayo recently had a Tea Party with Misako-san as a guest. Film of the Putumayo fashion show from AM2 was shown to the lolita attendees. Yuri pointed out to Misako-san that I was part of that Putumayo show, and then Misako-san said I had 'Attained Kawaii.' (Internal, Kya!) I thanked her profusely.
Idol Blessings, such a lovely way to start a Conventional morning.
For her to sign on, I purchased a postcard calendar she made for 2012 from the booth. Although the year was almost done, the photographic cards are easily re-usable. (Photos coming soon.)
We were allowed to take photos with her, too.

Random Pirate Lolita outfit.
On June 3rd, 2011 I was a Lolita Pirate. Why? I cannot recall. I was meeting friends for dinner and drinks! Maybe I wanted to wear my Happy Pack Bonnet from Alice & the Pirates. And, that just happened to match my corset, which matched my stockings, and little by little the outfit put itself together. Usually when I make coordinates, I just keep adding until it feels done. Much like decorating a waffle.
I tried to hide the homely background.
Bonnet, Blouse: Alice & the Pirates
Corset: Renee Geneve
Purse: hNaoto USA
Hangry bag, Doll charms, Nekolace: Hangry & Angr
Pink hat: Gloomy x Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Star & Parfait necklace: Minty Mix
Cuffs: Chantilly
Shoes: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

J-Pop Festival 2011: hNaoto Fashion show & contest, etc
This blog will cover hNaoto related events during J-Pop Summit Festival in San Francisco Japantown 2011. My reason for attending was of course, fashion! I was excited to see hNaoto's fashion show that Heralded the opening of the San Francisco hNAOTO shop~>

Naoto-san & I |
Got more excited when I saw this at Cinema Cafe that morning.
International Lolita Day...
It's International Lolita day! Happy day to you. Unfortunately, I was not wearing Lolita today, although I plan to tomorrow. Instead I'm wearing a casual Pop outfit, with what I call my bubble dress.
This hat is a Character hat created by Akana Mari who runs The Bunny Cafe. She makes all her hats herself! Because of my hair bun, the bunny hat sits higher than normal. Bun in the bunny hat!

New York, Funning it, Day 5! Uniqlo & NYCC
The morning of Saturday October the 13th, had a final leg of work. But, the afternoon was Mine all Mine! It was a beautiful day, warmer than I expected and yet chillier too.
I took some shots of LGA departure area.
I saw a Harbor.
And of course, the Infamous Taxis. Quite entertaining, one of the drivers was blasting his music and dancing out of his cab while he helped his passengers with their luggage.
This is some Neat art I saw decorating the trains.
Where was I headed? Fifth Avenue!
I was running an errand for a friend and of course, shopping. Right away, I saw the NY Uniqlo clerks, flyering.
I thought it was odd, an old style church next door to a GAP.
This is a New Uniqlo in New York. Apparently, it's the Global Flag-post store, which the Voice over the P.A. system repeated. This store is Massive. Uniqlo is a nice shop to get basics in many colors. Also, they have nice collaborations with Anime, Manga, Artists, Stars and more!
Although one just opened in San Francisco prior to my trip to New York, I didn't have time to see it, so I was excited to shop at this Uniqlo in NY.
Took advantage of the mirrors:
A Uniqlo staffer said he liked my outfit.
Floral hat: Handmade, except for Dolldelight bow and MintyMix lollipop
Necklace: MintyMix
Shirt and socks: Gloomy X Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Skirt: Frill by hNaoto
Jacket: Banana Republic (Gift from Amy L.)
Tights: Holley Tea Time
Shoes: Rockport
Orla Kiely collection! I believe Christina W. inseminated this artist into my mind, because she mentioned the collaboration. But it's cute stuff, so I don't mind.
My haul is at the end of this post.
Onward to New York Comic Convention, special thanks to hNaoto booth USA for giving me a reason to go!
I found a Wild Manli.
Manli is decked out in Sixh Ibi's Nine. We have the same tank top!
The main reason I went to Uniqlo first before rushing to NYCC was to grab an essential item for Manli's cosplay.
Nerds!
My photo does not show the Sparkly awesome that is this Lady. Her lips were glitter.
This was my First Uniqlo haul of the trip.
Not only did I indulge in the Orla Kiely collection, but I also found on-sale Mizumori Ado shirts! And, bought my first pair of Skinny Jeans.
I got essentials, such as tanks, tights, and socks. These socks are Uniqlo's Heat Tech material, supposedly holds the heat against your body like no other comfortable material.
Thanks for reading, I still have a few more days of New York to blog about, so come back soon.

Harboring good thoughts. |
And of course, the Infamous Taxis. Quite entertaining, one of the drivers was blasting his music and dancing out of his cab while he helped his passengers with their luggage.
That afternoon, my old chum and her
husband, a.k.a. her Babeh, picked me up. I was excited to see them, since it had been a couple of years.
After changing at their place, I headed out to Manhattan... on the train!

Uniqlo boasts several innovative technologies in terms of clothing. Pictured here is their Ultralight down items. There was a sale, so this is the Awesome Feeding Frenzy.

Awesome outfit! |
You may have noticed my shots are blurry, well I was very hungry at this point. So Manli and I left NYCC and got some grub. We ate at Tick Tock Diner, which neither of us had tried before, but a nice girl who we walked & talked to on the way out of NYCC highly recommended it.

Yay, food. |
After dinner, we wandered into a Sephora.

Resisted urge to rub tester all over my belly. |
Then, since everything but food was closed, we got some drinks. My first time at Tim Horton's.
