Hello Kitty exhibit~
One weekend in December there was a special art exhibit that included names like Hello Kitty and Tokidoki, etc~
I went there purely to visit my love Kammie of Mintymix, who was modeling in lolita the whole weekend with Hello Kitty!
Kammie so adorable in her AP outfit ; w; with crazy braids that reminds me of Kyary (and Pippi Longstocking-- who remembers that story???) and a bunch of stuff in her hair. I always wanted to make headdresses like that~ never found the time though.
Kammie convinced me to take a picture with Kitty. I didn't really want to because I was in my work clothes and wasn't looking cute at all xD But I ended up doing what Kammie said ; w; can't resist her sweet personality
Unfortunately I was only there for about 10-15 minutes before I had to run to work... there was a lot of nice art though! If my room wasn't trash and if I wasn't saving up for my Guyana trip, I would've bought one of the paintings.
Maybe next time~

Had my nails did...
I had done it.
I had finally got my er.... nail...cherry popped and had them done.
I've never had anything more than stick-on nails, or regular nail polish on my own nails. For the longest time I grew my own nails, but this time I had decided to just jump in on that sweet smelling crack that is arcylic.
I went (and got lost on the way) to Rio's place in godknows, New Jersey, where we spent all night doing my nails, trololoing her boyfran on skype, and listening to some old school music and ratchet songs.
My outfit going to her house. Shouldn't have dressed like a sl00t... the guys in NJ are 400% thirstier than the guys in NYC.
Rio's workdesk... when we were tacking on stones and stuff..
This isn't even HALF of her collection... her nail and makeup collection is almost legendary
One of the nails... I ended up going with like a fuchsia x plum and silver thing... the big rhinestones I got from Toho Shoji in the city. I really loved the pinkish nails though, next time I get my nails done I'm getting a whole set like those * w* yiss
My left thumbnail.. Rio showed me how to construct this.. arcylic nail work is SO much easier than I expected.
I think I found a new hobby to learn.
BOOM
It was maybe stupid for me to have gotten them done when I did... I had to get them removed before I went to Guyana, which sucked xD But by then, a good portion of my nail had grown out and some of the stones were gone so it was alright xD yep
Definitely doing it again~
Lolita Day Tea Party! 12/01/2012
International Lolita Day proved to be another stressful, yet successful event. There's something about the whole "running around like a headless chicken" feeling of planning parties that I love so much. This time may have been the biggest party I've hosted to date (I forget how many came back in 2009~)
This time was at Lady Mendl's, one of the most reputable places for tea in New York City. Also one of the most expensive~ but with the classic atmosphere, the awesome service and food, it was definitely worth the experience.
The staff at Lady Mendl's were probably all sorta of confused-- because there wasn't just one lolita party here, but TWO. My friends Dalin and Crystal had their own little private one in another area~
Mine was in their Mendl parlour, which we took up both rooms for~
Shots before the party started.....
My outfit for that night~ my favorite Rose Princess Doll OP for the occasion~ and my hair full with roses lol
Some of the magical winter decor. This is what I love about venues like Lady Mendl's~ their prices may seem crazy for some, but they really do a wonderful job decorating their space. You never pay only for food, but the overall atmosphere and service~

The other half of the parlor~
The other fireplace~ I couldn't choose which one was better!
As people started gathering in the lobby for coat check...
Lady Mendl's Christmas tree was so classic and pretty-- some of their ornaments were actual teacups from over the years!
Now for the food~
