finally ready to blog again now that I have an easier way to do it.

I recently got a keyboard for my ipad mini and now can blog on the go so much easier without lugging my whole laptop about.

A few things you must know about my Bunnie

A few thing you need to know about this amazing person is she is a burrito of fantastic rolled in glitter and covered in pastel colored sauce with rainbow sprinkled garnish.  That no matter how bad your day is just hearing from her will make you smile.  She will make you feel great just being you.  She will eat cupcakes and drink tea till she is full.  If it can be deco, glitter, roses, covered then why not.  She will make you laugh with her witty words like "Balls" and "Oh no you didn't"

She will take you to eat new things till you lose your mind over the peanut sauce .

She will dance all night with you when your loopy on Benadryl and tell you your awesome.

She will go out for sushi and try to convince you Flan is delicious not a Booger.

She will rock a teal wig with all pink and make you feel so special like there is no one else in the room but the two of you and your secrets.

She will get you the most amazing Christmas gift and smother you in Hugs

She will trust you to dye her hair lavender and let you take pics right after without all the Bows and Frills 

She makes going out an occasion even if your just having lunch or popping up to the store.

She will pose for every pic you want to show that you had the best day with her.

She will let you capture her crazy pouty face that is still so cute it will make you diabetic.  She will also wait around for you when your having your worst Con experience ever and make the waiter bring your dessert first because your day sucked and a cupcake is a great way to make it better.

She walk the floor of Sakura Con and pose for pics to show how much fun your having and encourage you to buy more sparkly pretty things because you deserve it and you can't have to many.  She will support you when you pay 22 bucks for fancy socks because as she says" they are so worth it and look how happy they are making you..get them."

She will let you play with her hair and makeup and take photos while standing in your bathtub for the best lighting and still come out looking like an angel.

She will wander around the park and go to meet ups with you and won't let anyone make you feel like your not one of the best people on the planet.  She will stick up for you and tell you your right that girl was a total jerk head.

She will go with you at the last minute to wander around looking at cars and will look like a pin up girl while doing it.  

But most importantly she will be your best friend.  She will make you so happy you will puke rainbows just from knowing her.  

She is about to go away for 4 months to Japan.  I am so proud of her and happy that she is getting to do this because she has worked so hard to get there.  I get sad that she is leaving but happy for her too.  I worry Japan will fall in love with her the way that I did when we became Best Friends.  I miss her already and she is not even gone.  To be so lucky to come to a place where I did't know anyone and to have found her and become such great friends is a dream come true.  I sit here happy and yet crying as I write this because I luv her so.  She is my dearest friend who I intend to have many more adventures with but just warning you Japan you better treat her good or you will have me deal with and I am much worse then Godzilla.

Lolita 52 Week Questions 3 and 4 are back

 3.What my own Lolita lifestyle is like

I wear Lolita everyday.  It has been a lifestyle choice for me for many many years.  I like to wear lovely things and be a lovely person.  I enjoy pretty food and sweets.  I love GLB and music that makes me smile and feel pretty.  I believe its a lifestyle for me perhaps not for everyone but for me it is. Dressing pretty and doing fun girly things with my lolita friends


4. Favorite thing to put on my head

I definitely think I have a love for hairbows and skeleton hands.  These two things make me smile and no matter how bad my hair day is this fixes it right up.

The Tea Set I would love to have.

Words to live by

giant head eating bows are wonderous

Lolita 52 Week Post Question 5

 5. My wardrobe turnover

I actually don't have too much turnover.  I tend to reuse items in new ways or give them to a friend that it looks really lovely on.  I tend to add to my wardrobe and I prefer to used items for price and to make my own stuff too so I can dream it then have it.  Since I tend to favor the Gothic Lolita and Sweet is super popular I often get items from friends who are leaving Goth to go Sweet.  This is both awesome for me but also sad.  Sad because I like having friends who like the same things as me I have noticed there are very few Gothic Lolitas in my area but I did just meet another one so its looking up.

The Lolita 52 Question Challenge

So I have decided to take this on and post it to both my tumblr and my blog.  Every Friday of this year I will answer one of the questions on the list....So today I will answer two questions to get caught up.

Question 1.
5 pieces every lolita wardrobe should have regardless of style.
I think these are the 5 most important to me.
1. Petticoat
2. dress/or shirt and skirt
3. amazing socks
4. matching bag
5. fantastic hair accessory
****I need 6 choices I love and collect parasols people so I pretty much need one with every outfit.

Question 2
5 movies for lolitas
1. Kamikaze Girls
2. Marie Antoinette with Kirsten Dunse
3. Psycho Gothic Lolita
4. Mr Roccoco
5. Anime anything with lots of doll like characters

Okay so now I am caught up and will try to post every friday.

So I purchased these items from a lovely Etsy Seller called Rara’s Jewels.  I absolutely love them.  The bracelets (I got the set of 3 in pink, blue, and lavender) are light and you forget they are even on.  The ring wears very well its adjustable to fit most fingers and it is also very light so it does not weigh you down the way most jewelry does.  Now my all time favorite item is the lavender skully hand hairclips.  DELIGHTFUL!  They sit so nice and they don’t slip they are light but solid in weight so the stay all day.  All in all this is an amazing seller with fantastic products and I highly recommend.

Musings in my mind today

Sometimes I forget that I am engaged.  I forget that over a year ago the man I love decided he wanted to be with me forever.  We already live together like were married so I forget I am engaged.  I don't get giddy at bridal magazines or look around for the perfect colors.  I guess as time has passed we no longer follow the rules.  We don't date, fall in love, get engaged, marry then begin our lives.  These days we get together, live together, buy homes, kinda become engaged then as some point just get married.

I miss the traditions.  As open minded as I am I miss the romantic notion of having a celebrations to celebrate your love with all the people who matter to you.  To let them all know that I am choosing this person to spend my life with.

And yet I am happy in my life.

Its just sometimes I forget I am engaged.

Remembering back to my first moment of being a grown up.

Today I was reading a book titled Lets Bring Back ...it talks about all the things of a bygone era that are missing in our lives right now.  As I reached the M section there is sat on the page...Murphy Bed.  A reminder of my very first apartment away from home.  I was so young and in the daylight I looked at this little place with reverence.  Such freedom.  It had 13 windows in a half moon sorta way since this little studio was part of a old victorian that had been broken up into little living spaces. The closet was deep but only because it had a murphy bed that fell right out of it.  The claw foot tub was deep and lovely.  Now I say in daylight because its important to note that this place was so much more to my young eyes and the freedom it promised.  It was in a poor neighborhood frequented by working girls.  The hallways smelled old and musty.  Paint had been put on layer over layer never sanding down to start new.  As I moved in my Mother was slightly horrified their were roaches and the kitchen was in dyer need of appliances that were newer then the 1950s rejects provided.  The tile in the bathroom was irregular and missing in spots and the sinks undercarriage was fully exposed and rusty.  The vanity mirror was aged and pitted with one solitary bulb that wavered when too many things were plugged in at once.  What should have been carpet was so old and smashed to the floor it resembled a coffee colored felt.
     And yet...I loved it.  For the monthly cost of $230 a month it was Randy and I's first place.  I made little changes that seemed huge at the time.  A found half round table just small enough in the entry way.  Fresh paint in the kitchen with some pillowcases turned into curtains.  An old futon we used as a couch that I lovingly covered with a blanket to make it look more festive and my constant attempt to put fresh flowers in the house so it would feel and smell pretty inside.  I think back now to all the canned chili dinners with saltines and the endless amounts of kool aid we drank because it was all we could afford.  I fondly remember my first case of Oreos I had to have then ate till I was sick to death of them and did not touch one again for 3 years.  How living there was my way of being on my own only appreciating how my mother must have felt being a mother now.  How leaving me in that bug infested dirty environment at the end of moving day must have felt like for her.  Don't worry mom I was smiling and oblivious.

What I did get to do.

The few things I was able to do was attend the Lolita swap meet where I traded some old Kera mags for 2 rings some cupcake jewelry and some lovely head pieces. I even traded some shoes I had for some Blue ones with my pal Rebecca. I love the group pic its has Allison, Rebecca, Bellmouse, Bunnie, and Me. I met the designer of Chantilly and bought some of her awesome socks.

I took my pic with the famous Oogie Boogie and my love. All in all it was fun when I could get away from the work side of things.

The Wigs that made it to Sakuracon

So Sakuracon ended up being alot more work and very little play for me but I did dress up every day. The lavender wig with side bun was my Thursday hair and I thought it looked like a little brain alien was sitting on my noggin which I really loved. The next day on Friday I did the ginger colored wig with my steampunk lolita and got a ton of compliments on it. Saturday was a Goth Lolita day so I went all silver white with a wig and two tails. This was a wig I purchased at con from Arda Wigs who I am now stalking since I love their products. The look very real and fit fantastic the quality was quite amazing. Finally on Sunday for Easter I did a Bittersweet Lolita and wore another new Arda wig I got for just 15 dollars. It was so lovely the Black and Pink split short wig was super cute and looked so real that some of my friends thought I had dyed my own hair. I think parting it and dragging some black over on to the pink really helped with that. All in all I had a blast and every wig worked really good and just keeps me wanting more of them to wear all the time. I did manage another wig from Arda since they were so reasonable and cut me a deal since I bought 4 total (less then 100 for all items with the two extra tails), That I have a fantastic dark blue and black one I plan to wear very soon...I will post pics when I get it styled and trimmed.
