One Day in Paradise 4th Birthday Party

Last December, the Melboune Lolita shop "One Day in Paradise" had it's 4th anniversary party. All of the local lolitas turned up for food, prizes and a magic show- being provided by yours truly^^;;

People at the party:

So many lolis in a tiny space!

Happy facesXD

A very cute pair of sweet lolitas<3

This was like the first trick I learnt. I have lots more now^^;;

A mirror or glass window?

I love taking photos at night:3

It was a really fun day!

MC Melody Doll News!

Sup Lolis! Sup brolitas! Sup... Mana. I have exciting news! This year, MC Melody will be back with some new projects! I can't reveal their nature yet, but I can assure you I will NOT be taking myself seriously.

Could YOU take this face seriously???

To keep up with all the cool stuff that's going to be happening, like my Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/MCMelodyDoll

You might ask me, "Melody Doll, why are you sacrificing your dignity for this? You aren't even making any money off it!".

Well, to you I say, I'm doing it for the lulz. And to prove my theory that entertainment for lolitas can take all forms, and doesn't have to be limited to "traditional" forms.

We have such cool clothes, and so many creative people- not to mention our own subculture with all it's own in-jokes. It's about time we got up and made our own entertainment!

Some of my favourite examples of non-traditional lolita entertainment have hit the net recently in the form of "Shit Lolitas Say" videos:

I love these so much! Keep up the good work guys!

Cherry Blossoms & Otome

Last Spring I got to visit the National Rhododendron Gardens while their cherry blossoms were in bloom! It was a bit cold but I dressed up in my favourite Emily Temple Cute dress for the occasion.

DJ Melody Doll @ Neko Nation!

If you live in Australia and don't know what Neko Nation is, it's Australia's first Japanese pop-culture themed travelling night club! They do club nights in all major cities, and for their first time in Melbourne, I got to DJ!

Rockin' the decks, MC Melody Doll style!

With the two owners, Saccharine Darling and Neko Catalystic^_^ They are such nice people!

Hanging out in the DJ booth.

With the owner, another DJ and two sexy catgirls who served free sushi during the night!

I highly reccomend going to this club night if you like Japanese pop-culture, cosplay and anime. The other DJs played anime songs and techno, and lots of people came in cosplay and lolita! It's a totally fun space, and the one night club in Australia where you won't feel weird for wearing OTT sweet lolita!

DJ Melody Doll Debuts!

Starting last year, I've been DJing at my favourite local goth club, Cabaret Nocturne. I decided to use my "rap" name and be DJ Melody Doll, and of course, I always play my own songXD

Here are pics from the first time I did DJed:

Me and my friends.

My set was at 3am, so I amused my friends with card tricks in the meantimeXD

Rock!!

I'm such a dorkXD;;

Everybody get down!

Now get up!

Not the most flattering picture, but you can see my awesome decksXDDD

Sailors vs. Pirates Meet!

Last November the Melbourne lolitas had a Sailors vs Pirates picnic. I went as a pirate, and we had heaps of fun!
