Angelic Pretty Mini Tea Party~

The 2nd March Mini Tea Party hosted by Angelic Pretty San Francisco was the smallest store hosted event I'd been to, and mingling with a smaller group was nice. There were party games with prizes, snacks and milk tea or lemonade.

When I first arrived at the Miniature Tea Party, I was greeted by the shop girls, Miho & Yuri! They rushed me into a Lolita sandwich.

X-al filled Lolita sandwich on the left and Lolita triplets on the right.

At first we all sat together since not everyone had arrived, ate and chatted.

Everyone was cute, and there was a nice mix of ladies from first time Lolitas, or first time Lolita gatherers, to students and artists.

Plenty of PheNOMinal sweets! 

Red Sky at Night

It's almost a new year, and I aim to work on blogs daily, until I catch up.

Red Sky at Night Tea Party was hosted by Baby, the Stars Shine Bright and Alice and the Pirates, San Francisco store on July 27th, 2010. Since Kalamari Kastle covered it so well, I will focus on my experience and outfit creation process, instead of the Event itself.

Thank you the Awesome snap, Kalamari Kastle!

Kalamari Kastle also created a nice album from where I got this photo.

The party and fashion contest theme was nautical/pirate. My entry idea was Jack Sparrow x Lolita. The dress is BtSSB Red Riding Hood and was my first Lolita dress. Over that is an underbust corset, (I associate pirates with corsets) and a Sweets Net. The Sweets Net is what a one captures from an ocean of sweets and toys. Under the dress was a ragged hNAOTO skirt. My hair was braided, beaded and adorned with necklaces, mini leather tricorn hat with feathers, cupcake and more. I even painted my nails seaside style and glued sand to the tips. The outfit took several hours to create.

I wanted to show off some good friends, too. I really do love Kalamari Kastle's photos.

The guest of honor was Intetsu the bassist from the band Ayabie. Intetsu also models for Alice and the Pirates, which is BtSSB's other brand. Alice and the Pirates is a Lolita brand with the idea of Alice in Wonderland's adventures with a band of pirates. They feature a gothic style of dresses and designs for male or androgynous Lolitas.

Mori Gyaru & School Uniform

My phone is taking such small pictures maybe since I dropped it twice today.

Above, is a mori girl inspired lolita outfit. The idea behind mori girl is that you look like you just stepped out from a forest. Often natural hues, with frills, and other cute or beautiful elements.
