Virutal Meetup Coordinate Jan 28 2022

 

Here's me ready for a virtual meetup viewing of Kamikaze Girls. Was not feeling well enough to stand for photos or even put makeup on but peep my new desk chair. It's one that I've wanted for over a year and I finally got it AND it's more comfortable than my previous chair :D

I went for an old school look to be on theme with the movie. Put my hair up in a high ponytail, not a look I normally go for with lolita but I wanted to try it out. I've actually been wearing my hair in a top knot pretty often in my daily life. Actually, you can see the top knot in action in my previous post :P

Coordinate rundown:

Headbow: Cameron Headbow

Blouse: Back Pin Tucked Blouse

Dress: Lace Frill JSK

Socks: Torchon Lace 

Everything from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright except the socks which are from Innocent World

Poison for the Fairies, mostly

I'm still alive! I want to write about some different things, but I'm also very tired.

Things like, why should I bother posting when there are so many more important things in the world, how am I going to survive on a student's budget, meeting my new lolita community, things I've bought recently (pre quitting my job), quitting my job, etc.

It's unlikely I'll write about all those things. However, something else!

I watched a movie recently called Poison for the Fairies. What a good movie! It was recommended in the comments section of Rufflechat when someone asked about aesthetic movies. 

One of my favourite things about this movie, besides the aesthetics and getting to see a movie created by another culture was that the faces of adults were never shown (except in two very specific circumstances). I loved to watch how the camera work was done to avoid showing their faces, while allowing them to move around in the shot. 

My husband didn't care for the movie, which is too bad. He doesn't share my passion for uncanny things. 

I've actually got a list going, of movies that I love for their aesthetic. Maybe, I will make a separate page for them. I need to update my book list too. And also complete my registration at the library here! The "ToDo" list is never ending. 

 Above is a photo taken at the meetup I went to two weekends ago. It was small and very casual which was nice and not so overwhelming. One of the girls was really into taking photos. Much appreciated! A big thank you to her, she was great. I just need to learn how to pose better ^^;

Picnic

We had a picnic meetup on Saturday. The weather was over 30 Celsius but by the water in the shade we were totally fine. Surprisingly, some people didn't show up so it really was just my direct group of friends. Which was fine! I think my sister was a bit disappointed though.

The meet was supposed to be strawberry and sweets themed so I wore Sheep Garden with my new Strawberry Parlour hat WHICH DOES NOT FIT ME >:(

Charlotte's coordinate was super awesome:

Mostly Putumayo 

She borrowed one of Brittany's wigs. Brittany and I were together at the drug store when she found that wig. It is by Gothic Lolita/Rockstar Wigs. I was surprised to see it there and on sale.

My brother also came with us! Him and his friends are into men's fashion. They have a lot of really nice and unique pieces of clothing. He complimented Raymond on his coordinate. Maybe one day my brother could get into Aristocrat. He is really thin (despite his ability to eat inhuman amounts of sugar) and only a bit taller than myself so he would definitely fit into brand clothing.

Brittany wore her bunnies and tea cups JSK and cute butterfly clips in her hair. Sadly, I didn't get any good shots of her outfit. 

All our snacks! I brought iced tea. The flavour was Sunny C from David's Tea. I brought orange pekoe in a thermos and some soy milk to go along with it. For snacks I brought golden oreos, tea biscuits, dried fruits, chocolate, peanut butter and the jam that my husband made. I highly suggest golden oreos/tea biscuits paired with strawberry/raspberry jam. It is a very good combination and everyone else thought so too. >:)

I brought 70% and 90% chocolate. We all tried both to compare. The 90% didn't even taste much like anything, it was just powdery. 70% was the best.

Raymond brought a whole bunch of snacks from Japan, Brittany brought fruit salad and dates (which were far superior to mine), cookies and trail mix, my siblings brought strawberries and candies. One of the candies were like gum drops with fruit and mint flavour combined together. It was unexpected! I didn't read the package label first ><;

Overall, we had a good time looking fancy and snacking. I was too tired to go through with finding someone to take our group's photo and then posing and everything so these snap shots will have to do. Brittany and I are currently discussing planning a meet up ourselves.
