Lolita Collections

I finally made it back to my apartment, and have moved all my stuff back in:D Luckily the flood didn't affect my internet access here!

In other news, I got a new lolita dress! This time it's a Classic Lolita dress from Victorian Maiden:



It's my first piece from Victorian Maiden, and it's beautiful! I can't wait to wear it!

As a collector of Lolita fashion, I personally made it my goal to own something from every brand in the Gothic Lolita Bible. It's kinda a weird goal, but after reading the GLB for so many years and drooling over all the pretty things, I feel like owning even just an accessory from that brand makes it "tangible".

Other people's collections can be their "dream dresses", only one brand, one style or one colour. What kind of collector are you?

Tutorial: How to do multiple exposure shots with digital cameras.

I have gotten a lot of positive feedback about some of the silly "multiple exposure" shots I did lately, and a couple of people have asked for a tutorial, so here it is!

Step 1:


Set up your digital camera on a very secure tripod. When taking the shots, don't let it move at all when you press the button. Even being off by a fraction is noticeable when you try to stitch the shots together!

Step 2:


Put the images in an image editing program, and take half of the behind image and paste it over the front image.

Step 3:


Isolate the part of the image that overlaps using the lasso tool.

Step 4:


Erase the part of the image that overlaps.

Step 5:


Paying careful attention to shadows and reflections, erase either the foreground or background image in places until they look seamless. Repeat until you have enough layers on, and then flatten the image and adjust the brightness/contrast and apply any filters.

The finished product: Voila!



If anyone tries this, please comment here with a link to your post!

Still Bloggin'

Should only be one more day until I can go back to my apartment. I'm really worried about what the city is going to be like now... it could be years until it's all cleaned up and repaired. I feel so terrible to all the people who's houses got totally flooded. I'm lucky that I'm just renting, but if the house you owned got flooded, it would never be the same again D: No-one ever expected it to flood after 10 years of drought, though!


No, I will never get tired of multiple exposure shots:P The only challenge now is to make them more interesting^^


Today I'm in Moitie! I got this one in Closet Child after trying on just about everything in the store. I like the fact it has a different kind of blue in it to my usual sax blue- I'm going to start collecting more like this, I think^^


I managed to leave half my make-up behind, but you'd hardly notice^^;;

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
