Today is just a terrible day. Our local lolita community just lost a treasured and valuable member. I haven’t spoken to her before (just me and my awkward introvert self), but I’ve always admired her aesthetic. She was one of the lolitas who didn’t seem bothered that she was wearing specs with lolita or not wearing a wig. Things that…

but this is not cosplay!
Something happened yesterday which kind of sparked my interest to write this entry. Disclaimer: This issue concerns a friend and her opinions. My entry is not to flame or shame her. She is purely entitled to her opinions as I am to mine. It was after the Harajuku walk and we were dressed in our lolita outfits, walking around trying…
thoughts about me and lolita fashion
Amidst all the flurry in the local lolita community for tomorrow’s big event, I couldn’t help but slow down and think about my own lolita journey — specifically wearing wigs. I’ve never worn one. I just don’t have the guts to. Admittedly, wigs are great coz then I can probably have any hair colour I want without having to dye/bleach…
KOKOkim kurage hime no yuutsu
I have a whole list of other (overdued) stuff to blog about but I just have to blog about this. XD Model Kimura Yuu is hailed the queen of fairy kei and she has her own line of clothing called KOKOkim. Fairy kei has existed as a genre of Japanese fashion for some time now but I never quite felt a…
angelic pretty special sets
Just joined another lolita Facebook group which provides updates on new releases. Couldn’t help noticing that AP seems to be releasing a few special sets at their Tokyo outlet as announced on their blog. Not sure what’s the occasion but oh well. Dresses released in special sets are usually simpler than the original releases. I must say that the prints are…
rekindled love for lolita
Ever since I graduated from college, I’ve not touched my lolita dresses. I don’t really have space for all of them so the hubby is saying I should sell most of them. But…it’s hard to part with some of these dresses. Some of them are rare sought-after prints which I went through a lot to get my hands on them.…
wonder party
I get regular updates from YouTube for my subscribed channels and the AKB48 channel is one of them. I got excited when I saw the new video with Mayuyu (Watanabe Mayu) and Paruru (Shimazaki Haruka) as they were wearing lolita outfits. They wore it for the song 「初恋の鍵」 (Hatsukoi no Kagi) under the Team Surprise unit. Team Surprise is a one-shot unit…
teatime swells
Vote for this tee at Threadless! You need to have an account with Threadless though. It’s designed by a member of the EGL community. If it wins then I get to buy an awesome Lolita tee. Just click on the image to go to the voting page.
AP goodness
Angelic Pretty goodness! They are releasing AP Pullip, Dal, and Byul dolls. I never really like Dal or Byul coz the dolls have this weird scrunched up face, but the mini Wonder Party and Toy Parade dresses on them look too cute. I wish the Pullip was wearing a cute print dress like Yumemiru Macaron. Not that the Pullip’s dress…
fashion, lolita, culture
So, I had a presentation on fashion and clothing for MS320: Popular Culture class which partly featured lolita fashion. For that, I wore a BTSSB Pink JSK. The first thing friends asked was what was the occasion. Do I need a reason to dress lolita? I mean, I’ve built up a wardrobe of lolita dresses, isn’t it high time I…
