Still Blogging Away the Flood

Still stuck at my parents house, trying not to think about how bad my apartment will be by the time I can reach itT______T

Today I dressed up in my favourite colour- sax blue! I first started wearing blue lolita clothes in 2005, when I went to Angelic Pretty and they had a blue dress on sale that I thought was so pretty. Since then I never looked back!


I stuck some things into the flowers to make it look different from yesterday, but you can hardly see it>_>;;


This dress has a full circle skirt and is so heavy! It was in a Winter lucky pack :D

Nerdy bonus- I finally took the Fish Custard Challenge! (Doctor Who fans know what I'm talking aboutXD;;)


All ready to eat, with my apron on!


It tasted um... like custard on fish fingers, LOL

Blogging the Floods Away

Still stuck not able to reach my home. I had to evacuate in a hurry, so even though I saved all my lolita dresses, most of my accessories and make-up are still there:/ Hopefully the water didn't reach my house, but I'm still gonna worry until I can reach it! All the roads out there are still blockedT_T

To distract myself, I dressed up today and played around with using a tripod and dSLR^^;;


I've never done one of these shots before, and now I don't think I'll do anything but them in the future! XD


*swoon*


This isn't Photoshop, it's me not knowing how to use the camera, haha^^;;



Outfit:
Skirt, blouse: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

Headdress Not Dead??

I'm currently not able to go to work because of the floods in my hometown, so I thought I'd blog about something I posted on EGL yesterday.

The Gothic Lolita headdress! It was one of the first really recognisable parts of the fashion, after bell-shaped skirts and knee-high socks. In the past few years, they have all but disappeared in favour of Alice-bows, headbands and hats of all sorts.

However, lately there has been some interest in going back to "Old School" lolita. Not only in the Western community, but looking in the latest Kera magazine, it seems they are coming back:


An old-school style from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright.


A smaller chic-er version from Innocent World.


The caption I think said Metamorphose, but it looks modified?

Also from the latest Kera was this comic which I found hilarious:


1. Learn of the Gothic Lolita "missionary(??)" Mana-sama,
2. Work hard, save money. With that bit of money-
3. Collect lolita little-by-little
4. And then wear Lolita every day!

Happy New Lolita Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I just had my first holiday in aaages, but it rained the whole time so I didn't end up wearing lolita anywhere. Le sad;_;

Good news though! The Brisbane Lolita Christmas Party made it to the newspaper:D My friend is doing a series on Subcultures and Brisbane and wrote it. She also interviewed me! You can read the article here: Loving the Lolita look


I bought the newspaper and read it while eating a bento^^

The other day, I went to my first Steampunk meet-up! I had always seen there were lots of Steampunks around Brisbane, but I kept missing the events they have. This time the same friend was writing an article about Steampunks and told me about this one, so I decided to go!


Victorian x Meiji multicultural steampunkXD

My idea was to make a mixture of European and Japanese mourning wear, hence the formal crested black kimono and black veil. One day I hope I can make this costume even more elaborate, but not until Winter because I nearly died wearing this in a hot, steamy (excuse the pun) SummerX______x;;


They call me the Black Widow:P


A shot of everyone there- so many awesome outfits!

Brisbane Lolita Christmas Party 2010!

A couple of weeks ago my local community had our Christmas party. It was a huge event, with games and prizes, not to mention heaps of food and drink! It was held at a local university, so there was lots of old architecture to admire.

Our full group:

So many BrisLolis!

Playing "Lolita Pictionary"

Of course, my team won, hahaXD;;

Playing "Pin the Nose on Mana"

He has no nose, it's impossible!

My full outfit:

It was raining so horribly outside that I was about an hour late too the meet because I couldn't even walk to the bus stop D: Because of this, my outfit theme was "Full Plastic"! Everything from my wig down to my rubber Melissa shoes was plastic, in the hope I wouldn't ruin anything^^;;

Outfit:
Dress: Emily Temple Cute
Stockings: Allanah Hill
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood X Melissa
Headband & Bracelet: Angelic Pretty

Merry Christmas everyone!

Long Dress Love!

Ah, how I love long lolita dresses! Since it's the end of Spring here, I decided to get a last wear for this year out of a favourite of mine:


I looooooove my Vivienne Westwood x Melissa shoes! It's hard to see, but they are so shiny:


Everything Vivienne Westwood designs is so nice*_*


The boater hat seems to be in fashion even in Australia now, although I think it actually started as a gyaru trend in JapanO_o;; Anyway, I was happy because I got this one for $5 from a local store, LOL

Socks: Emily Temple Cute
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood x Melissa
Everything else: Offbrand from local stores
