Impromptu schoolgirl hangout
Rune came over to my house, where I put a bit of makeup on her. I immediately got frustrated because chick got a great face. What I mean by that? Spotless smooth skin, a nice thin nose and she has this ridiculous dark skin spots where you'd normally contour and everything. So her nose naturally looks contoured. Even her eyes looked like she had already lined them with dark brown eyeliner :| wtf
The result. I also did a -tiny- bit of teasing to her hair do it would be less lifeless xD Easy stuff
After that we hopped on the metro to meet Rio and Mei in Chinatown since some of us haven't been there in a while. We walked around, got some little cakes and crap, went to what's left of Elizabeth Center (seriously, this thing used to be bustling with all these little weeaboo stores and asian fashion stores and whatnot when I was new in lolita... what happened?). The puribooth shop continues to amaze me because I seriously do not understand how it's stayed open all these years with their crap quality and ridiculous prices. Makes me with the Toto booths were moved there instead of eventually going to the junkyard :| I would've opened a shop myself, smh
We later went to a family-style Chinese restaurant and had some good grub, and then went to Fay Da for some sweets and bubble tea.
For whatever retarded reason I made the suggestion of walking around, and that ended up with us walking over the bridges and just acting real retarded. It was super fun though!
Rio in her schoolgirl-ish inspired sl00t outfit
Rune was clearly about dat EGG/Soul Sister life LOL practicing all the poses
Mei didn't give a damn for school uniforms and went for one of her casual gawthy outfits
Tired student hookers. I originally had my hair straight but then it was humid as hell and my real hair poofed. Gross.
When we got to Downtown Brooklyn Rio and Rune departed... meanwhile me and Mei ended up walking even more, hitting up a Starbucks, and eventually walking BACK to Manhattan. xD Talk about random idling. It was a good workout even though my knee swelled for a few days....
My only flattering images, once I got home xD
Probably should've went for my black sneakers.. I ended up looking pretty stumpy, not to mention bloated.
My recent makeup~ I've been switching it up a -little- bit as far as lash placement. Also not sure if it's noticeable, but I've been also playing around with eyelid tape and seeing how more defined my crease is~

Kawaii International Ep #10
I didn't expect my image to pop up in the 10th Kawaii International Episode at all-- I had no knowledge of it until I suddenly got the e-mail from NHK the night before, asking me to support xD Like WUT WHAT'S GOING ON?
I have no doubt in my mind that one day it'll happen again. And I can't wait. ♥
Since it was so last minute and I was booked that weekend, I missed the airing... I managed to catch the episode via Youtube, though it was all choppy stuff. But then Kawaii International was kind enough to send me a disc copy!
Everyone else who had watched it was telling me "omg you're gonna have feels amber" "there was this one shop girl that said something really sweet you're gonna cry", and I was sitting here like WHAT. So when I got a hold of the video I fast-forwarded right to that part.
(right-click and open in New Tab for full-size)
...Yeah, I almost cried. Though it was more of a shriek and dying inside - kind of cry, hah. But there was something so heartfelt about her comment towards me, it really made me feel really good. Like REALLY, really good.
When I first entered the contest I didn't like the outfit at all (I still don't LOL) but the fact that Ayano saw all these special little details in spite of it being a lolita dress blew my mind. I didn't like the shoes at the time (I've modded them since-- still didn't make a post about it yet = w=) but she still liked them and she payed attention to the little things like the nails and hair and they called it simplistically cute. And that landed me in 1st place. I remember screaming when I first heard from friends, and then when I saw it for myself.
So seeing someone, especially from outside the hime/lolita fashion complimenting me and my makeup and stuff makes me feel so good. It's not even like "omglol nipponpplz called me kawaii", but having them see my look and compliment it and point out the little details... it's a really good feeling, especially for the bit of extra elbow grease I'd have to give out to dress up due to importing and being taller and thicker than what the brands' market's norm is.
I have no doubt in my mind that one day it'll happen again. And I can't wait. ♥
