Um wow. I should be making the most of my wins from NameCheap, after all I’m technically getting this domain free for another year and a half O.o Anyway now’s the time for a post!!!

So one major reason why I haven’t posted was because I have moved into a new apartment!!! Goodbye old stinky moldy COLD damp and LOUD apartment! Hello nice new 1 yr old building apartment with energy efficient windows and elevator <3 Anyway, I’ve kind of organized the living room (along with the roommate) into something viewable, so I thought I would go about sharing my gothic lolita coordinate

Outfit breakdown:
Mini Hat = Candy Violet opera hat
Blouse = handmade by me (a little too big though. Will work on tucking in those shoulders >.<)
Corset skirt = Moi Meme Moitie
Tights = I got them from Target. Great place to get plain opaque tights!
Shoes = Bodyline

Yeah it was really cloudy out. So didn’t get good detail shots of the whole coordinate. Oh well, next time.

In other news, I was on a real work mode last month. I have the blue Hawase Doll OP from Baby the Stars Shine Bright. It came out a few years back, but I failed to buy the headbow to coordinate it with. And I really wanted a blue version of Momoko’s (from the movie Shimotsuma Monogatari; aka Kamikaze Girls) signature outfit. I needed the full coordinate like I need meat man. >.<

And in January there was a loli from Spain selling a similar embroidered fabric BTSSB headbow, and I was thinking hey that might match!!! Of course when it came to me, apparently it hadn’t been packaged well T.T There were rust stains on the headband and a little on the bow part too. But it wasn’t the right blue anyway, and since I had butchered one of the long dettachable sleeves from the OP to make a headdress once, I decided I was going to use the other sleeve for this headbow!!! It was simple actually! I just carefully took apart the old rusted headbow and used its pieces like a pattern:

The bow before I took it apart, and the Hawase Doll embroidered fabric around it.

After about two days worth of toiling (between work and sleep and food and all that) and straightening the hell out of the wire from the headbow, I came out with a beautiful new headbow to match my OP:

Kekekeke. Now I have my spring/summer coordinate (more suited for summer since spring in Seattle is still pretty darn cold). Since I have decided not to spend too much on lolita clothing this year (let’s see how long that will last), I have already come out with my coordinates, and since I don’t go out much anyway I figure it should be fine for the year. The only thing i will splurge on are blouses, I didn’t realize I have a lot of OP’s, so I never really stocked up on the basics like blouses and petticoats >.< I think this year will be a blouse and petticoat year XD I at least need one good blouse so I can wear it with my jsks and skirts. I already have the design in mind, unfortunately everything I want is sold out, but it’s a design that Baby comes out with regularly so I will probably see it again in the fall I hope. I have a really nice black lace petticoat that I had bought from Candy Violet a few years ago, and I bought the white one a little after that to go with all my sweet stuff. However the white isn’t as poofy as the black one. The black one gives the perfect amount of poof, but it’s not the it’s not the IN-YOUR-FACE poofy where it’s hard to sit down XD I was disappointed that the white one wasn’t as poofy, but I make up for it’s lack of poof by pairing with a baby petti that came with one of my jsks. So stiff tulle (that’s not really poofy) plus white petticoat (that’s not really poofy either) makes “decent subtle poof.” I think I’m going to buy another white petti though, if it ends up being as small as the first white petti than I will just combine the two together!!!

And now for my other dilemna. I have completely fallen in love with a boy. He’s made out of resin, has purple-grey eyes and is supposed to be one of the MEANEST Shinsengumi members. And it’s all Volks’s fault that I am smitten with him:

*sigh* There have been boy dolls that have piqued my interest, but I must say he takes the cake. Meet Volks SD17 Hijikata Toshizo. Since he’s special only lottery winners can win him (I don’t mean government ran lotteries lol!!! I mean Volks holds a lottery entry in order to win the rights to buy the doll. Long story, you can probably find the full details on Den of Angels). I’m tempted to TRY and enter the lottery to see if I can get him. But you see he has a hefty price tag, though of course for most doll owners it’s an understandable price seeing how much work goes into crafting a BJD. People who do not know the world of BJDs just wouldn’t understand why people would pay so much, but then again most of my family members and friends think I am crazy for buying brand lolita clothing. Why are all my hobbies expensive??? Anyway, I’d love to get my hands on this boy. He’d make the perfect boyfriend for my Robin <3 Speaking of the lottery, it is going on RIGHT NOW. It ends the 16th though, so if you even want a small chance you gotta do it before then. Meanwhile I am going to fret about whether or not I should use the ol’ credit card to try and get this boy >.<
