Voltaire Concert Outfit

Two nights ago on Easter Sunday, I attended a Voltaire Concert in my city with some of the local Lolita Community. I have been under a lot of stress lately so it was definitely something to take my mind off the depressing matters that have plagued me. I altered the first Lolita JSK I made (with cotton lining) to fit me like a glove because before it was a tad loose on my frame.

Overall, the show was awesome! I got to see one of my friend's perform with her band, Amy's Arms and that was really cool. I got to meet Voltaire, he stroked my fox stole, we took a group Lolita community picture and I also got a picture of my best friend and him together (my close friend has that picture on her camera). Voltaire is absolutely engaging in person - he told funny jokes, Told hilarious stories, had so much sass I found it riveting. He was like a breath of fresh air compared to the other concerts I had been to in the past.

I will definitely go and see him again when he visits Toronto again.

Here are some pictures of my coordinate - concert pictures will follow once I get them from friends.


Here is a picture of me with my new circle lenses and makeup. They look very doll-like. Even though the color is natural the overall look of this color of circle lenses is very exotic.


My dead things!

Anime North Preparations

I've created a lot more products for Mori Girl and Gothic Lolita.

Mostly earrings - I will be trying tierred pricing to hit up customers who may not be able to afford my more pricy items. No, pictures for now since I'm typing on iPad at the moment which can't upload pictures unless I buy the app. I've begun compiling the Lolita and Otome clothing materials I need to make OPs, JSKs, and Skirts for an upcoming convention in May. I will be heading a table separate from my business partner, Aya, because I have a lot more stock this year. At the same time I am working on a top secret project related to Anime North. I'll post tidbits on here but I don't want my competitors to know my little surprise. My skulls will take longer then usual to make since the taxidermist I ordered them from is working on some large scale projects. I hope I get them by the end of this month or early April. :/

I may also be helping out at an Anime North panel titled The Enchanted Forest: Mori Girl, Dolly Kei, and Natural Kei fashion. I need a date and time to confirm it before committing. I'll be helping out with information, modeling, and even giving away loot bags of my created products. I had a horrid experience last time with fashions show since some of my clothes got damaged and I never got recognition. But, I hope this time it'll be better. I still feel bitter about the whole thing and it's my fault I never told the organizers. I will, but in due time.

I also feel bad about Japan's situation. My next sales post for the communities will feature 10% of all proceeds of my items to selected charities helping Japan right now. I think Docotors without Borders would be my best bet. So far, made one sale and raised $5.
