I’m gonna rain on you.

It’s difficult to shoot with a wide angle lens with so many people around. I get them in the picture and it looks messy.

But dramatic no?

I finally got to meet up with a bigger group of lolitas in Frankfurt. Thankfully Asami was there too so I didn’t feel isolated and weird. And also Yana for being the organizer of this meet.

It’s really getting cold in Europe and certain parts of USA.
The meetup in Paris a few weeks ago nearly killed me too.

Anyway, photos ahead.

We found a big bear to take photos with.

I didn’t get everyone’s name but, the girl in the middle made her own jsk and beret. I’m so impressed. The fabric looked so awesome.

In fact, many of the german lolis on that day made their own outfits. I think it’s pretty damn awesome.

With Yana and Asami~

Michela(?)wearing the Meta swan print. I’m sorry if i spelled your name wrongly. (btw i love your hair)

We headed off to the Murakami Exhibit. And I must say~ He remains one of my favorite popart artists to date.

I am in love with the Louis Vuitton walls.
Unfortunately no photos were allowed inside or I would’ve plastered myself on these walls.

And it was too cold to take any more photos. I need to get myself another coat or something.

I had the joy of meeting up with the lovely french lolis again.

The weather wasn’t very kind to us and a series of unfortunate events had to start as we stepped out of our doors.

Firstly the trains were late (and/or delayed) as there was something wrong with the tracks. It was cold and frigid. I met Gabrielle and Julie about 40mins late? (oh the poor girls had to wait in the cold for me. T___T)

When we got into the gardens, we got somewhat lost although it was a pretty scenic walk (but I do think walks are for when the weather is warmer. LOL)

Gabrielle had to suffer the wrath that is gravel pavements and uneven ground on her Antenna shoes and my Baby, the star shines bright madelaine shoes too, suffered some battle scars.

There were cows and sheeps and horses on the way there.

Marie Antoinette used to dress the sheeps with ribbons round their neck. It must’ve been quite a sight.
umm no photos since my hands were permanently STUCK in the pockets since i didn’t have gloves with me.

We finally reached our destination~!

At the lovely stairway with Marie Antoinette’s emblem on the stairway. I think it’s so ostentatious. I want my own emblem too.

She doesn’t have a good reputation amongst French, but I do think she is amazing for the fact that she remains one of the more prominent French historical females to date.

Mirror shot~!

If they did make use of the fireplace, we wouldn’t still be wearing our coats indoors.

This is my favorite shot out of the lot.

I can so imagine holding tea parties here.

The infamous Madame du Barry’s room.

It’s pretty small actually. I think she probably feels like she’s in jail.

The servants at Le Petit Trinon wore these jackets. What I thought was cool were the buttons that actually bore Marie Antoinette’s emblem too.

It was too cold for us to bear. And we had to leave.

Made our way to Julie’s house who graciously invited us over for tea to keep us warm. I managed to meet Julie’s little sister, Sophie who was such a gem. I got a little shock when she came over to flip up my skirt and petti and exclaimed that I must be so cold wearing only the bloomers and knee-high socks outside.

Lucie came over too and they were sharing about the tea party where Misako was there during the Japan expo. It was pretty funny.

It was such fun meeting them again~! I do hope to learn French soon so I can understand them better.

So people complain that I don’t blog enough.
Srsly, you guys don’t even pay me. Okay fine, you pay attention to me. That’s all that matters no?

So I was in Vancouver last week and went to the Aquarium. I have an undeniable obsession with jellyfishes. And probably an explanation why I like Spongebob…cos he digs jellyfishes as much as I do.

ONWARD FOR PHOTOS.

Dammit. I bought the most random stuff in San Francisco.

From clocks to cameras to shampoo and makeup.

another completely random note, I LOVE URBAN OUTFITTERS. They have the coolest stuff on earth.

And also, I’m severely jetlagged cos it’s 220am and I’m still awake.

ok~ on to pics~!

Random Puma store. trying out the fisheye lens for my mobile phone. i wish my lens were flat so the fisheye wld adhere properly.

Apple store~!!!
I finally got my ipod upgraded~

That green rim is from the fisheye. It wouldn’t adhere properly.

Food from cheesecake factory. It tastes better than it photographs.

Clock that I bought from UO.

Diana+ Edelweiss camera from lomography~!
I have 5 toy cameras so far~!!!

TINNNNNY babyliss flat iron. awesome for traveling.

I also bought a dress from american eagles which I’m too lazy to photograph and some makeup brushes from Sephora and 2 eyeshadows from Nars which looks just freaking awesome I had to buy them even though I’m a MAC fan.

That’s it for loots. Heading to Seoul tomorrow. Hopefully I get to go to Rose Chocolat.

I missed out Day 4 cos all i did was walked around, got hit by a sudden headache and slpt almost the whole day away.

Anyway,It was really cold today cos it was raining.

Free Mc Donald’s coffee made my day.

It was off to Harajuku agaiTn.

And was greeted by Hangry and Angry~!!

Naoto is having an event today~Cute sales people are cute~!!

My mission for the day is to find a polaroid back for my Holga~!
And the destination~!

an obscure store with a tiny sign.

An awesome amount of old cameras and toy cameras make my day~!

The polaroid back was out of stock and I ended up having to buy the Holga champion kit.
it consists of:

• Holga 120GCFN
• Polaroid back
• 35mm film back
• Fisheye for Holga
• Fisheye holder attachment
• Holga effect kit which includes 11 filters
• 35mm 120 and polaroid films
• Holga phone strap

Awesome amount of nonsense which costs me a grand total of 39,900yen T___T
I am so broke.

But yes you are the King indeed.

The other toy camera at the bottom is the Golden Half by SuperHeadz.
and i also bought the flash for it.

It’s supposed to take photos like this.

And I phailz epic at taking polaroids.
I’m totally not used to the fact that I have to use flash.

Dinner is Okonomiyaki~!!!

Teaser shots for the day.taken by zemotion

I retired really early on day 1 cos I didn’t sleep on the plane the day before.

Anyway, woke up early to prepare for the an epic photoshoot. I think my hair took 1.5hrs to do.

I feel like a genius.

I applied for my leave last Sept and I was just guessing the dates when the sakuras would bloom in Tokyo. And guess wad? The day before I arrived, they started blooming.

My timing is impeccable.
And i heard it’s going to rain tomorrow and all the flowers would fall off. Isn’t the timing just awesome??????
Kami-sama watches over me~!!! *w*

And zer0 and I really have to thank Chris for helping us with everything. From taking us around, to carrying stuff for us and translating.

At one point of time when I was dressing up with the kimono, we had to ask for help and these 2 middle-aged women came and help us with the kimono. I was basically dressed in 5mins, obi and all.
;_; They are so kind.

And along the way there were other middle-aged BFFs who adjusted my obi and kimono. it’s like changing stylists every 15mins. Awesome shit.

We headed to Nippori in hope of finding awesome Japanese parasols for another shoot but no avail… so we headed to Asakusa instead.

That place is like Kyoto in Tokyo.
*w*
okay maybe not… cos I’ve never been there. But it is what I wld’ve imagined it to be. Huge temple. Big red lantern and rows of shops selling traditional japanese wares.

Anyway, I was being dumb by bringing out only my cash and forgot all about my credit card cos I thought I was just going out for a photoshoot. -_-;;;

But I spent a great deal of moolah at Asakusa.

Japanese Parasols

Kanzashi
These things are epically expensive but these pics do not do them justice~~

This was today’s dinner. Beef cubes at Pepper Lunch.

And that concludes day 2 when I’m sitting at the laptop still wearing my socks. XD
