<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Dear fairies,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let's backtrack, shall we? I am still catching up on what I did over the past few months! During the summer I went to another <b>lolita meetup</b> which was a <b>murder mystery at the art museum</b>. I asked my best friend, Catherine, to tag along with me. Before the meetup, we met with my friend Vivian at her university theatre changing rooms to get dolled up in lolita. At first I wasn't sure which outfit to wear, but since Vivian was going for her <b>Frankenweenie </b>ouji style suit with a feathered hat, I decided to go with my <b>Alice and the Pirates Jellyfish Princess x Kuranosuke Stripe </b>jumperskirt (which I wore later for Halloween) with a feathered hat ^_^ Since Catherine isn't a lolita (yet) I let her borrow my <b>Innocent World x Mucha </b>one piece dress (perfect for an art museum meet)</span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and put together the best accessories I had to go with it for a sort of bohemian look.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once we were all ready to go, we went to meet up with the rest of the group who was eating at <b>Cafe Express</b>. I had a yummy chicken pesto salad and headed out to the museum once we got our fill. This was an art museum I have never been to before and its free admission permanent collection was just so wonderful that I recently visited it again.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The murder mystery began with a crime scene outline of a victim who was murdered by one of several characters from art pieces around the museum. In every section of the museum there were live actors who were sitting in front of paintings or statues of people, and they assumed the character of the artwork they were in front of. The museum visitors had to go around asking the characters questions about the crime and what had happened in order to obtain clues as to who might have killed the victim. This was very awesome to see all of these people dressed in their costumes and stay in character the entire night. Although we didn't correctly guess who it was, we all unknowingly <b>took a picture with the murderer</b> before we knew who she was!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I loved talking with the others at the meetup, hanging out with my best friend, and seeing beautiful art such as one of <b>Claude Monet's</b> water lily paintings. This was technically my second lolita meetup where I wore lolita. The first one was a few years ago for a Valentine's Day meetup at a vegan restaurant where I wore a sax blue Bodyline one piece. I think I did pretty well for my first legitimate coord at the museum, but I'm still growing in that department.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It has been so very long since I've posted! I have decided to that I need to find a more efficient way to continue posts on here. I'll admit I'm not perfect in anyway. Not to mention, I am still trying to find the best photo editor for my phone >.< I admit I'm just too lazy for a real camera.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, this Halloween, I didn't have any plans, <span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">but I did wear a nice outfit/costume for the day complete with a lolita dress, a witch hat, and goth makeup with star and moon shapes below each of my eyes. I got an invite on Facebook for a free</span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> maid cafe</b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> on </span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Halloween</b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> happening at a college about an hour away from my house, so I decided it would be a lovely time to go with two of my friends. Regrettably, I did not take any pictures of this cafe, but we had a nice time with cute maids and butlers serving everyone cake, coffee, and tea. Also, some of the maids performed J-pop dances throughout our time there. I mingled amongst the other people there, saying hello to familiar faces, and asking the maids where they bought their petticoats (Classical Puppets of course). It was a great time and I had a slice of </span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">chocolate cake</b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and some hot </span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">green tea</b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Afterward, my friends and I decided to head to a very nice mall a few minutes away. We walked around and shopped a bit. All of the stores even had bowls of candy for trick-or-treating. I didn't buy anything, but I enjoyed myself as we talked to a lot of people, especially about what I was wearing. I decided to stop at the Starbucks in the mall and order the "<b>butterbeer</b>" drink on the secret menu. It was delicious and I definitely recommend it to <i><b>Harry Potter</b> </i>fans. All you have to do is find the <b><a href="http://starbuckssecretmenu.net/starbucks-secret-menu-butterbeer-frappuccino/" target="_blank">recipe</a></b> for it online and then show it to the barista.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Back home, my friends and I decided to watch a horror flick. Unfortunately, my family selection for horror films was a bit slim, so I suggested we watch "the scariest horror movie of all time," <i><b>The Exorcist</b></i>. My friends had never seen it before, and thought it was time they see this film. To get into the Halloween spirit, we also watched it outside on an outdoor patio at night.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">All in all, it was a great day for being a slightly improvised Halloween. At least I looked fabulous ;-)</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dear fairies,</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Yes, I am a sort of <b>"part time" lolita</b> of sorts I suppose, but I guess I don't like to say "I am a lolita," since fairy kei is what I wear most often. I have always been an admirer of the fashion on and off, but after seriously delving into <b>historical fashions and costume design</b>, I have come to love the <b>classic lolita</b> style specifically since lolita is based on historical styles.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Interestingly enough, I think as a fairy, that I am probably the minority when it comes to the style of lolita I dress in. Most girls who are sweet lolitas come to fairy kei and most fairies who come to lolita go towards sweet lolita. Of course, the reason behind this is obvious as the two styles share a dominant pastel palette and a young girly flair. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Personally, I love classic lolita with a bit of a twist, and the current dominant color scheme in my wardrobe is composed of <b>browns, ivorys, reds, and golds</b>.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have been building up a small wardrobe for a few years now, and I usually <b>wear lolita for specific occasions</b>. I have loved going out for afternoon tea even before I began my wardrobe, so naturally I now wear lolita when I am having tea with my boyfriend or mother. I also have many opportunities to go to nice dinners and events where I would don a lolita coord. Of course, if a local lolita group is having a meetup that strikes my fancy, I will dress up. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii3nIMKP6PQALWCch8rk0EBayIumaBdJNrNAIAusz2vR78l0HeIymk9w6mdTOdy-C-TmUI6OhwAMG_0676DAJ7nbE_ftnxseMGvrmvwywMceFUC5E6eRnAYqTWbeiufUz167p0wQvoqKk/s1600/blogger-image-2095989534.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii3nIMKP6PQALWCch8rk0EBayIumaBdJNrNAIAusz2vR78l0HeIymk9w6mdTOdy-C-TmUI6OhwAMG_0676DAJ7nbE_ftnxseMGvrmvwywMceFUC5E6eRnAYqTWbeiufUz167p0wQvoqKk/s640/blogger-image-2095989534.jpg" width="562" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While fairy kei is my main fashion that I aim to wear regularly, lolita is there for those occasions that call for nicer dress. Therefore, as someone who doesn't wear lolita often, I try to keep my lolita wardrobe to a minimum without all the extra "frills," if you will. I do love all the pretty things that lolita has to offer, especially those things which I find a personal affinity with, such as the <b>Swan Lake</b> print here which shows my extreme love for the composer <b>Tchaikovsky</b>. No, I will <i>not </i>hide my Twilight Sparkle-inspired hair under a wig with my lolita coords!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, with that, I will be posting a few lolita or other JFashion things not related directly to fairy kei in the future ^_^ </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Dear fairies,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm still catching up on things that have happened! I had college courses over the summer so that really took it out of me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The second week of July I went to go see <b>Lady Gaga</b>! She is definitely a bit of an idol for me as far as her want to carve out her own unique niche in the fashion world. This was my first Gaga concert. Interestingly enough, the person who took me to go see the show was my stepfather XD He is actually a huge Gaga fan and he was the one who wanted to go see her in the first place.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This particular concert was <b>ArtRave: The ArtPop Ball</b> for her newest album. The overall theme of it was generally a rave as there were "raver" types of things on sale for the show like light up dreads, bows, seashell bras, and glowsticks. At the end of the concert, Gaga even donned an adorable raver costume.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfwnGI_LCHE0Pjry6nAwUlR48Pd50mg_Nl1K5aa_bo8uSpkqv9apmiSlNDGC2nMqkRtAnb8uGQCwij-pGayT-4Obm0rmGc36jjQo5PLBQn-KS8_AvHeDP_FAYiQ9p5D84ekHc9edtWXF0/s1600/10394142_10152752867944673_2846459048772641943_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfwnGI_LCHE0Pjry6nAwUlR48Pd50mg_Nl1K5aa_bo8uSpkqv9apmiSlNDGC2nMqkRtAnb8uGQCwij-pGayT-4Obm0rmGc36jjQo5PLBQn-KS8_AvHeDP_FAYiQ9p5D84ekHc9edtWXF0/s1600/10394142_10152752867944673_2846459048772641943_n.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When I knew I was going to this concert I just knew I needed to wear something awesome. Unfortunately, as school got nearer and nearer to finals weeks, I didn't have time to even begin thinking about what to wear. By the time finals were over, however, I went to Australia for a month. I then rested for a couple of weeks as I was seriously exhausted, and before I knew it, the concert was only a day away!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, in the end, I woke up super late the next day and only had about 5 hours to bleach and touch up the color on my hair, eat lunch, take a shower, get dressed, and put on makeup >.< Crazy enough, I find the outfits I put the least amount of real thought into turn out to be some of the nicest ones. While I was rushing to get going, I quickly chose all of the things to wear, put on only the basics, and bagged all of my accessories so I could put them on when I was on the train. I even didn't have time to think of my makeup. In one hour on the train ride to the concert, I just improvised something and tried to make it look fabulous. After my makeup was done I put on all my remaining accessories. Also, because this was a "ball" I decided to wear long white opera gloves haha</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once we arrived at the center where the concert was being held, there was an amazing bit of diversity amongst ages and walks of life. There were people there like my stepfather who were relatively "normal" folk in their 50s, to those who were dressed in hardly anything but short shorts and some platform heels, to very young girls who were about 7 years old.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The outfits and costumes of those who went all out were also varying from extremely fabulous to extremely questionable. Either way, it was nice to see all of these wonderful people together in one place, completely comfortable towards the fashions that everyone was wearing. Almost all of the people who were dressed to kill had photos taken of them by others in pedestrian fashions. I even had quite a few pictures taken of myself even though my outfit was far from some of the crazy Venus goddess inspired costumes a lot of other people were wearing.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The atmosphere was great and friendly as it seemed everyone was comfortable with talking with one another. I talked to quite a few people and took some pics with them ^_^ A really awesome addition to this concert was this free photo booth that Lady Gaga's foundation provided at the concert. There, we received a free button and elastic band while we waited in line to have six pictures taken of ourselves that were printed out for us to take home. It was wonderful to have three free small souvenirs to take with me instead of a $40 concert T-shirt.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This particular concert opened up with a K-pop band, <b><a href="http://crayonpopunited.com/" target="_blank">Crayon Pop</a></b>. I had never heard of them since I'm not big on K-pop myself, but they are a cute and cool little girl band. They were wearing pink Polo shirts with white pleated skirts, white leggings, and these white helmets with pink stripes on them. I'm not quite sure what the deal was with the helmets, but who am I to judge what the performers are wearing at a Lady Gaga concert?? I suggest checking these girls out, especially if you're a big K-pop or even J-pop fan.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">After Crayon Pop was <b><a href="http://www.ladystarlightnyc.com/" target="_blank">Lady Starlight</a>. </b>I have never ever heard of her as long as I've been a Gaga fan, but apparently for those who are really into her know who Lady Starlight is. If my conjecture is correct, Lady Starlight is a sort of improv DJ who creates music onstage with a sort of sound/music board thing. I was told by some of the people I was talking to at the concert that she was weirder than Gaga and that one time she just drank a bottle of whiskey while onstage! She has been great friends with Lady Gaga for a long time and the two are both from New York. Her beats were cool and interesting and though I will admit to a bit of boredom after a while and just wanted to get on with Lady Gaga.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Finally Gaga arrived onstage in all of her Gaga glory. All I can say about Lady Gaga is that she has a great stage presence. She is able to create an atmosphere and command an audience very well. Gaga is great at bringing the audience together as she said that everyone in the room were people who were non-judgemental and that we were all advocates of love. The concert, as intended, definitely felt like a huge party. I had no shame in dancing and singing and cheering. I loved the general production design and effects such as confetti cannons. I also thought it was great that the other performers onstage besides Gaga were somehow able to be noticed as well. Everyone on the stage was superbly talented and great to watch and listen to.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">One of the things Gaga is most famous for is her personable approach to her fans and audiences and her generosity towards the people she works with onstage. She made a recognition to some of the members in the band playing the music and her dancers were often showcased in front of her in costumes just as wild. At a few points, she talked about her personal life and her views and gave a bit of her own knowledge of what she's learned. One thing I remember her saying is pointing out a man in the audience who had on a hat that said "I love haters" and she said that<b> haters are weak people who try to bring down those who are strong</b>.That rang very true to me and it made me feel better to think about it that way. People who bring you down are trying to bring you down because you are stronger than they are.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then, near the end, a whole bunch of fans started throwing stuffed animals at her onstage and she then proceeded to pretend to fall to the floor and said something like "death by stuffed animals!" She then found a Hello Kitty plush with a wedding veil on it and she took the veil and put it on her head. Next, she took a note which was attached to the plush and read it out loud to the audience. It was two girls who lived in a small town and said that they have always been different and fans of the "avant-garde" and that they found courage to express themselves in such a place because of Lady Gaga. It was a pretty nice and touching moment and Gaga invited the girls to come meet her backstage after the show. Furthermore, she picked two people out of the crowd to come dance onstage with her that she thought dressed awesome. The particular song they danced with her was a bit odd ("Swine"), but it was cool nonetheless. One of the fans had on a light up silver leotard style suit that lit up and the other was wearing something similar to a Harajuku style with a large bow on her head, overalls, bright colors, lots of accessories, and huge deco platform sneakers. Ironically enough, Gaga asked the girl with the platforms if she could walk in them ok and the girl said yes, but when she took her first steps she actually fell! It was weird though because Gaga either didn't know the girl fell or was ignoring her, which wasn't a good thing, but at least one of the onstage performers helped her up.</span><br />

My favorites were the one in all white and the raver outfit. She was so elegant looking in the white one with a train and flowing white wig, but very cute in the rave get-up with fuzzy legwarmers and twin ponytail dreads. One very interesting thing she did when she put on the raver costume was that she actually changed onstage! She was stripped by a wardrobe team in nothing but a thong and two tape X's on her nipples and then was put into a clear plastic top, a plastic green and white skirt with a fuzzy blue trim, colorful fuzzy arm and legwarmers, and a multi-colored dreadlock wig. I thought this little stunt was not only revealing, but also provided more intimacy with the audience and sort of showed us that Gaga isn't this magical being who can just turn into whatever crazy costume she wants.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Overall, this concert was great and a wonderful experience. I would definitely tell everyone that they should go to one of her concerts at least once if they like her music. She seems like a really cool person and knows how to entertain and is definitely worth all the money you pay. I will say that it was almost two hours before she even came onstage, but it was great to go talk to people before the show and go to the photo booth. Another nitpick is probably her skimming over her past hits when she performed them. I understand promoting <b>Art Pop</b>, but I would have liked that she picked fewer of her hits to perform fully rather than taking all of her past hits and then performing them as one long medley. Otherwise, I had a great time ^_^</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dear Fairies,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In February I was part of another Japanese street fashion show at the local Asian Art Museum. They were having an after dark event, so some members of the Japanese fashion community got together to put on a fashion show of different styles.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There, I met two new fairies, Carol and Amanda, who were very lovely ladies. I hope to meet with the again soon ^_^ A very interesting coincidence was that we all ended up wearing Disney shirts as you can see! </span></div>

So, when it came time for me to walk down the runway, I didn't realize that we were supposed to keep walking through the audience >.< Instead, I went off the other side of the stage area haha</span></span></div>

In the pic above, next to me is lolita, Angel Light, who was great to record most of this fashion show as she did in the <a href="http://fairykeidust.blogspot.com/2013/09/college-japanese-fashion-show.html" target="_blank">last fashion show I was in</a>. You can see my slightly embarrassing walk XD</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I went to see <b><i>The Little Mermaid</i> </b>musical sometime in March.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The production was great, but definitely not as extravagant as many other shows seen on Broadway. I found the large clear bubble "flats" that they used for the above water scenes an interesting choice. Also, I was glad that they didn't use Heelys like they did in the original Broadway production. I always found Heelys kind of weird... I got that they wanted a feeling of them being underwater, but I imagine it would've been more distracting to me. Flounder had a little skateboard in this production but I felt as if that was a character choice that worked quite well.</span></span></div>

Actually, this was the first production to use the <b>fly system </b>to have the fish and mermaids actually look as if they were swimming mid-water. This was a wonderful choice as it was done superbly.</span></span></div>

When this happened, a scrim was brought down in front of the stage upon which a light made to look like water was projected. Behind the scrim we saw Eric in an almost heavenly light that you can usually see underwater when there's light coming down upon the water. Then, slowly, he was flown down as if he was falling through the water. It was absolutely beautiful. Ariel's silhouette could be seen coming in to save him and that was the end of the first act.</span></span></div>

The supporting characters all had lovely twists to them visually and in their character that I enjoyed. First, Sebastian was still Jamaican but he was definitely portrayed as more "proper" in this production as he was dressed in a completely red 19th Century style costume complete with knickers, tights, and a red powdered wig. The actor was possibly the greatest singer in the entire cast. Scuttle was a bit more... interesting... he became even a bit off-putting to me haha but he had an interesting costume with pumpkin pants, striped socks, and a vest. The twist they put on Flounder made him seem more realistic in a sense. He had spiky hair, wearing a slight skater boy style costume. A new layer for this character was his crush on Ariel that was actually very cute and gives way to his song in the show. The actor was adorable and had a wonderful voice. As for Ursula, she was definitely fabulous without a doubt. The tentacle dress was nothing short of dazzling, and the tentacles would be moved by the actors playing Flotsam and Jetsam to create the illusion she was moving them around the eels during <i>Poor Unfortunate Souls</i>. A little side note is the performance of <i>Les Poissons. </i>This is possibly the most overlooked song in the show, but the performance was hilarious as the actor put a different emphasis on the already clever lyrics by Howard Ashman.</span></span></div>

He wrote the lyrics for the new songs in the musical besides the first song called <i>Mysterious Fathoms Below</i>. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><i style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mysterious Fathoms Below </i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">was a song that was cut from the film, with lyrics written by Howard Ashman, the original lyricist. Unfortunately, Ashman is no longer with us, so Disney hired Glen Slater. I don't find Glen Slater nearly as good of a lyricist as Ashman though :b</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dear Fairies,</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am back from a terribly long and unpredictable hiatus. Things have been crazy as I near the </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">end</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> of my college career. I have a lot to catch up on as I have done a few things I would like to post here to share with you ^_^</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am part of the</span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> lolita</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> community in my area, so I have joined maybe three meetups so far as I build up my frilly wardrobe. One of the girls, Xochitl, was having a </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">birthday party</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> at a lovely waffle and pastry cafe called </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Cafe Brown Sugar</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This was my first real lolita meetup since I went to my first one ever in a sax Bodyline dress that I'm currently reconstructing. I couldn't figure out what to wear to the meetup considering I was a fairy, with very few frilly pieces, going to a lolita gathering. I wanted to look just as cute and a bit more formal to match the lolita style. Therefore, I came up with the idea of creating a sort of</span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> fairy kei/ cult party kei</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> hybrid to wear to the meetup. Personally, I think it was a great choice as I had a few compliments from the girls at the meet ^_^ I was even surprised to know that one of them knew what cult party kei was!</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had earlier made Xochitl some fairy kei accessories in return for her generous donation towards the original play I was working on to produce,</span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> <i>Tchaikovsky</i></b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. I still hadn't had the chance to give them to her, so I put them in a little gift bag along with some candy (a Ring Pop and Fun Dip) and I headed out to the cafe.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A lot of the other girls had awesome waffles and coffee. Xochitl got a green tea ice cream waffle which looked amazing. I wasn't feeling the huge waffles, so I just settled for some small yummy </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">fish-shaped waffle </b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">pastries filled with sweet red bean.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The other girls were so lovely and we had a good time looking around at some Korean shops in the area where they had groceries, books, cosmetics, and tons of cute things. There is a wonderful Korean cosmetics store called </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Faceshop</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> which has some amazing stuff. The only thing I bought while at this meetup was a </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">peach-colored lip gloss</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> from The Faceshop, and I signed up for their rewards program.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear fairies,</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, today I will talk about wigs. My confession is that I don’t own
any fashion wigs and it’s possible I might not ever. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I really do like wigs, especially if they’re the right
color and are gorgeously styled.Though I notice many other western fairies favor wigs. Why is this? The only things I can think of would be that some sweet lolis carry their wigs over to fairy kei or that some fairies are not up for committing to dyeing their hair, which is understandable.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Personally, I think wearing a wig never quite has the same effect as when you dye your own hair. It's almost like the color becomes a part of you as opposed to something like makeup where you can take it off easily.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I kind of like it when you can see the natural hair color coming through in brightly colored dyed hair. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="http://tokyofashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Harajuku-Fashion-Walk-6-Style-001-02.jpg" class="decoded overflowing" height="640" src="http://tokyofashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Harajuku-Fashion-Walk-6-Style-001-02.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="426" /></span></span></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://tokyofashion.com/harajuku-fashion-walk-pictures-6/" target="_blank">TokyoFashion.com- Kumamiki</a></span></span></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I do think in Japan they are more compelled to alter their
appearances in fashion because of their strict society and can get out
of their boundaries a little. Therefore, I do think dying one’s hair is
one of the “safest” sorts of self-expression since I’ve tinted it
different colors several times myself.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In conclusion, while I really do like wigs, I would rather dye my
hair an unnatural color than wear wigs. I love my own hair and it’s inexpensive compared to buying many wigs in all colors considering I don’t dye
it very often (and I can change colors easily!). </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">
</span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I went through the 90’s and the millennium evolving at my pace,
experimenting with fashion and visuals, being generaly alternative,
playing with mainstream fashion, being my own boss and not caring about
others’ judgements. But now that I am closely looking at my
fast approaching 40th year on this planet, I feel the need to tell them:
“Live!”. I am a fully grown adult with a fully grown up everyday life.
Ok, the fact that I always have been in a creative environment may help
me to think outside the box when it comes to visuals but still, why
putting so many conventions around your appearance when it could be such
a fun outlet in this already very stressful world. I love the imagery
of the 80s and even if it sends me back closer to my childhood, I am not
a child anymore. </span></span></span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #666666;">
</span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fairy Kei emulates a lot of what has been part of my early life on
this planet, but what the hell!!! It emulates it so well and yet with
its own twist that it would be mad not to fall in love with it all over
again! Besides, it leaves room for extra creativeness. I do not wish to
look or act like 10 years old me. I am just having fun with so many
elements that I was and still am fond of. I mix and match and add my
woman touch to it. My life experience, abilities to function and
maturity have nothing to do with it. So if you are in your 20s
and already feeling too old for Fairy Kei, well don’t be! Be your
own canvas, your own artist, create, have fun! The way you see the world
and grow as an adult should not be affected by the way you look. Who
decided that you look silly? You or them? Who decided what is age
appropriate or not? Are you really what you wear? Don’t let anybody
dictate your fashion sense. As long as you are a functioning adult with
good common sense and compassion. </span></span></span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Today I’d like to discuss how I’ve come
across a few things, concerning fairy kei, in which girls talk about how
they feel fairy kei is too “juvenile,” think they’re too old for fairy
kei, or think it’s only for teenagers in which you grow out of the
fashion into, say, something like <a href="http://pop-kakumei.blogspot.com/2013/03/cult-party-kei.html" target="_blank">cult party kei</a>.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While I think peoples’, and my own, styles
are always evolving in which one could go from fairy kei to another
fashion like cult party kei, I think that there shouldn’t be a line
drawn as far as what age you say you stop wearing a certain fashion! (though, there are exceptions to people who just don’t have good fashion sense to begin with)</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I think people in the Japanese fashion
community should be the least concerned with “age-appropriateness”
considering how many of the best styles in Japan are many times
misconstrued as “childish” or “costume-y” to some critical westerners
with narrow views of what fashion really is.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Why even be part of Japanese fashion if you are going to restrict yourself??</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">With that said, I think people tend to think
fairy kei is “childish” due to the dominant color scheme and use of 80s
childrens’ characters like Popples and Care Bears. If fairy kei was
meant to be for children, then wouldn’t it be a style only worn by girls
under ten years old, considering the characters and bright colors?</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Of course, on the contrary, fairy kei is
usually worn by girls 17 and over! Not to mention, our representative
girls at 6% Tokidoki and Spank! are over the age of 20!! Miss Tavuchi
was about 23 years old<b> </b>when she began Spank! and <b>will be over 30 years

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tavuchi, in an<a href="http://tokyofashion.com/spank-japanese-fashion-brand/" target="_blank"> <b>interview</b></a>,
said that her customers range from <b>12 years old to 40 years old</b>! To
her, Spank! is more about the 80s culture than anything else, it seems.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It makes sense that young women (not young
girls) would be into fairy kei. After all, those of us who were children
in the 80s and 90s, who enjoyed fairy kei inspirations, are now
over the age of 18! Fairy kei is nostalgic and speaks to our childhood
in many ways, which makes it all the more appealing.</span></span></span></div>

have style, then you don’t need fashion, nor do you need to adhere to
any "rules" like age limits. Tavuchi created her own style, likely not

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img.yaplog.jp/img/18/pc/s/p/a/spank-tab/11/11850.png" /></span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear fairies,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For my sixth confession, I am going to say that pastels are not always necessary in order to have a successful fairy kei outfit!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I first began to research and start my fairy kei wardrobe, I was
overwhelmed with this constant idea that fairy kei MUST be pastel in
order to complete the look! I was scrambling to find any pastel
accessories and clothing in my own wardrobe and found very little to
pass the pastel “rule.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After much deliberation in creating pastel accessories, I continued
my research to find, with much joy, that pastels were not really a <i>must have</i> in every fairy kei outfit!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With that said, I do get and keep pastel items in my wardrobe to give
off that 80s innocent feel that seems to define fairy kei. Yet, I do
not think that the colors alone define fairy kei!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Just wearing certain colors of certain fashions doesn’t necessarily
make it the fashion For example, wearing a sepia color scheme does not
make an outfit Steampunk or wearing all black doesn’t make it goth.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, wearing all pastels does not make an outfit fairy kei.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To give you a very <i>obvious </i>visual: this woman
would hopefully not be considered fairy kei. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="http://shechive.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/pastel-fashion-2.jpg?w=500&h=433" class="decoded" src="http://shechive.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/pastel-fashion-2.jpg?w=500&h=433" height="345" width="400" /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But she’s wearing pastels
and is cute. Yet we know that fairy kei is defined by something more
than the pastel colors and cuteness. If that were the case, then the
past summer trend of pastels would make the all the women who wore
pastels fairy kei, which we know is not true.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are different ways to approach the fairy kei color palette. You
can wear any other bold brights, neons, or even black! It just depends
on what you feel like and what looks right.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, don’t let the all-pastel “rule” get you down! It doesn’t exist!
Don’t be afraid to go into the brighter or bolder colors and patterns.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">For the longest time throughout my life I’ve been wanting to wear 80s clothing!
Finally I found fairy kei which gives me the “excuse” to wear 80s
style all I want despite many people having a distaste for 80s fashion

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">Tights, buttons, legwarmers, large bows, side ponytails, scarves,
cute socks, cardigans, suspenders, high tops, fake glasses, cute skirts. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">These are all the things I love to wear which makes fairy kei the
perfect style for me!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">It wasn’t the girly colors or even the cuteness of fairy kei, but the 80s style which now has me hook line and sinker!</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">For my next confession, I have to say that I’ve come to
realize that fairy kei is an almost loose term… </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Did 6% DokiDoki or Spank! invent fairy kei? Tabuchi Sayuri (founder
of Spank!) thought her clothing line differed from the “fairy kei” style
itself, but in a way, she has defined the style. After all, I read in
an interview with her that “fairy kei” came around after the opening of
her store. At the same time, 6% DokiDoki, open long before Spank!, seems
to be defined as a fairy kei (and decora) brand by </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://www.tokyofashion.com/" target="_blank">TokyoFashion.com </a></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Ok, well, there isn’t a REAL answer to the origin, but I realize that
Spank! is by no means decora, while 6%DokiDoki seems to have decora as
one of their main proponents, yet both brands are described as fairy kei.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">But there HAS to be several defining factors that make or break a
fairy kei ensemble or otherwise it would just be considered decora,
lolita, deco-lolita, cult party kei, or other Japanese fashion. I would like to try and
define these things in many more future posts.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">With that said, look at other fashions
such as scene, punk, goth, hipster, lolita, cyberpunk, and steampunk.
Each of those styles may be related in many ways (especially the first
three) to each other but there are several things which make them
distinct from one another.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">You can say that goth and scene may have stemmed from the punk style,
but that does not make those two styles punk or make punk goth or
scene, right? Therefore, I think this idea could be similarly applied to fairy kei or any other Japanese fashion. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Fairy kei likely has its origins, but has come into its own kind of fashion that is not the same as its origin.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">So, for my second confession, I have realized, over the years, that
learning about anything is best to go to the place of origin!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">Therefore, I think it’s safe to say that the Japanese are the ones
with the best inspiration in fairy kei considering that it is a Japanese
style. So, my research and inspirations come from all Japanese women and
girls, such as Spank! girls and other fairies who are just lovers of
the fashion.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">One Japanese woman, in particular, is a huge pioneer when it comes to
fairy kei ! Her name is Tabuchi Sayuri. If you dont know her, then you
should! She is the founder of Spank!. To me, she is the mother fairy,
and I look to her whenever I am in a fairy kei outfit predicament
(colors, accessories, pieces, hair, etc).</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I found fairy kei fashion a few months ago and I was taken
in completely by the fashion for its cute 80s/DIY style elements. I may
be new to the fairy kei fashion, but I have been a Japanese fashion
enthusiast for nearly 7 years now. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">This is my blog on my own thoughts
and adventures in fairy kei and Japanese fashion. I’m hoping that anyone
reading this will not only enjoy and benefit from my own posts, but
will share any thoughts, ideas, experiences, and pictures with me! I
think it may be helpful to those who are stuck or unsure in how to go
about fairy kei as well!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I am also an aspiring theatre costume designer and Japanese fashion has always been one of my guilty pleasures.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">Also, I will call all fairy kei girls
“fairies” because it’s fitting, so darn cute and I absolutely adore
fairies!</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">Now for my first confession of many to come! </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">Yes, I had only been aware
of fairy kei for only about four months or so when I began this blog on Tumblr. With that said, I don't
claim to have an amazing wardrobe or that I am fairy kei expert. But I
have definitely done much research and tried my best to understand fairy
kei. So, hopefully this blog will show my own progression and be a help
to those new (or even not so new) to fairy kei.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I hope to give my own and ideas on fairy kei through this blog, and
while I think I have good points to make, again, I dont claim to be an
expert at all! There is still much for me to learn and I want so much
for other Japanese fashionistas to see what I have to say and maybe
learn from me too!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dear Fairies,</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">About
a week ago, I planned my first "official" fairy kei meetup. I planned
to go back-to-school shopping. Although only one girl, Jazmine, could
make it out of the group, but we had a lovely little time ^_^</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First
off, we went to a thrift store to see what we could find. Jazmine
bought quite a few things including a very cute 80s retro sweater in
pastel yellow and pink with ribbons on it. I had seen this sweater on
the rack first, but I decided to give it to Jazmine since she's new to
the fashion and needed something super cute to add to her fairy
wardrobe. As for me, I only bought two tops. One is an 80s/90s purple
floral blouse with a cute scalloped collar. The other was a handmade
shirt made of a sprinkles fabric which I liked a lot and decided to use
as a reconstruction project.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Next,
we decided to go look around a bit and saw two other resale shops. I
didn't find anything I wanted to buy at either place, but Jazmine bought
three sets of cute pastel hoop earrings in pink, purple, and blue as
well as a bag. Of course, every place we went into people were curious
about our style XD</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While
driving to the thrift store, I saw a frozen yogurt place which looked
interesting, so I proposed we stop by and have a bite. It's a local
frozen yogurt company called </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://www.scarytastesgood.com/" target="_blank">Monster Yogurt</a></b>. </span></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When
we walked in, all the walls and the floor were lime green. Also, while
the yogurt and flavors were pretty standard, I had never seen so many
toppings to put on frozen yogurt before! Not only was there a standard
bar of toppings, there was a wall and a half of candies, nuts, and
cereals. The picture below is about 2/3 of </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> the toppings that were on the walls. On top of that, there was not a whipped cream <i>can </i>but a whipped cream <i>machine</i>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> I
got a lovely strawberry yogurt and topped it with white chocolate
chips, strawberries, whipped cream, strawberry and cherry syrup, a heart
gummy, and the perfect touch was some really awesome chocolate sort of
things that looked like pearls. I brought Prize Popple with us too~</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The yogurt here was very good, had an awesome selection of toppings, and the price was perfect! I only wish there was a Monster Yogurt in my area. I got a little photo of Jazmine with Prize and my new Hello Kitty bag. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Our last stop for the day was a little cosplay shop that just opened in a new location called <b><a href="http://www.cosplayncharm.com/" target="_blank">Cosplay N Charm</a> </b>(click for their webshop!). We ended up getting a bit lost before actually finding but we made it!</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cosplay
N Charm is more than just a cosplay store. Not only do they sell
cosplay costumes, but anime merchandise, cute accessories handmade by
the owners, and clothing/accessories from Korea and Japan. It was quite a
cute little store with a wide variety of things from the fashionable to
the anime geek. The quality of the items seemed to vary from brand name
to offbrand/unknown. There was a Baby Biscuit lolita bag which Jazmine
told me was definitely a real name brand item. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Although
I'm mainly fairy kei, I sometimes dabble in classic lolita, so I looked
through some of their lolita style clothing and found a cute, good
quality offbrand blouse from Korea to go with a lolita skirt I'm going
to get soon. I went to the dressing room to try it on. The dressing room
was super cute I had to take a picture. I just loved the drapes and
mirror.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> The
blouse was lovely, so I decided to buy it along with another sale item
for only $8: green colored contact lenses!The shop sells Magic Color
contact lenses. This was the first time I have bought colored contact
lenses. While we were there, one of the owners was working on sewing a
little panda plushie. She said that she will soon make it into a vampire panda complete with bat wings to sell at an upcoming anime con.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, onto what I actually bought! At the thrift store, I bought two shirts. The first is a cute retro 80s/90s blouse with cute little machine embroidery flowers and butterflies on the collar for only <b>$1</b>. The collar is also slightly scalloped on the edges. The second is a handmade shirt made of a cool sprinkles fabric for about <b>$1.50</b>, which I thought would be good to reconstruct. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dear Fairies,</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yes, fairy kei can be and is much m</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ore cost effective, practical, and efficient than many other alternative fashions. This is one of the main reasons I love the fashion~ The 80s/90s kitschy aspect of fairy kei makes it easy to get clothing from thrift stores, vintage stores mainstream stores, and DI</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Y.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Although many have tried to make excuses as to why they could never afford a fairy kei wardrobe, I beg to differ. While there are brands and stores that sell fairy-esque clothing and accessories that can get a bit pricey, they are by no means necessary in creating a super kawaii fairy look. This is similar to the “lolita on a budget” argument, except likely less expensive, with a wider scope, with more possibilities, and maybe with less leg work.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Think about a veteran street fashion like punk. Vivenne Westwood may be the most awesome punk clothing, but punk thrives on being a fashion that is solely DIY. My friend, who’s a glamorous punk doesn’t know how to sew but DIYs and thrifts like a beast and she looks amazing all the time. Only when it’s on sale and a must-have item does she splurge on Westwood.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love shopping for vintage and thrift finds that are inexpensive online and in-store. Also, when I hit up the mall or any other mainstream stores, I always head to the sale racks for any fairy kei-able pieces. I love getting crafty and creative in designing and making my own accessories with inexpensive fabrics and odds and ends. To me, finding more ways to save money actually lends itself to the very kitschy little girl look. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love the fact that fairy kei is quite easy to shop for and doesn’t have to cost over $100 for a single outfit. I have learned to trust in my abilities to create my own look creatively on a budget. Not to mention, fairy kei is also easy to sew things for. A simple skirt or tutu with an elastic waistband or a simple empire or shift style dress could do the trick in many cases with the right fabrics.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Basically, I just love that getting “cheap” makes me think outside the box by look for fairy kei pieces in places like antique shops, flea markets, dollar sections, young girls’ sections, and even my mom’s old clothing! But remember that inexpensive doesn't have to mean lower quality. I always try to find good deals on good quality items. I don't buy inexpensive items that look like they will fall apart anytime soon. It's generally better to find good quality items with a good price than something that is both "cheap" in price and quality.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Because of all the possibilities and wide scope of fairy kei, it makes it easier to find pieces on a budget.<b> <a href="http://fairykeidust.blogspot.com/2013/12/cheaper-fairy-kei-clothing.html">Check out this post</a></b> I put up last for a little list I compiled for <b>“cheap” fairy kei links</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is a typical fairy kei outfit I might wear on a given day which is comprised of items I bought from several different places. Not including the price of shoes (which are usually the most pricey items I own), this outfit cost a little<b> less than $40</b> altogether (Including shoes, it comes to about $100). A Japanese brand shirt alone could cost $40 or more!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dear Fairy,</span></div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is a tricky one, I must say. Of course a lot of brand things from Japan are going to cost a fortune, especially with shipping involved. So, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">a few</span> other main options are <b>retail shopping,</b> <b>independent sellers, secondhand shops, or </b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>thrifting</b></span>. If you know anything about shopping for lolita, it’s basically the same for fairy kei, except better because you can’t exactly find lolita dresses at a retail or thrift store. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I highly recommend thrift shopping at your local thrift or vintage stores. Look for good condition clothing/accessories that emulate an 80s/90s sweet style, young girls’ clothing, pastel clothing. Even going to mainstream clothing stores now is a good venture with 80s/90s styles coming back into fashion or looking in the young girls’ sections is good too.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When it comes to<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> shopping at <b>retail stores</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> such as <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Hot Topic</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">,</span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Forever 21</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, or <b>Old Navy</b>, I always find it useful to look in <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">almost every store in the mall <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">when the big sales are going on (50% o<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ff or more). Again, look for those <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">items that <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">emulate a nostal<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">g<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">i<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">c and sweet look remini<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">scent of the 80s/90s.<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Th<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">e most unlikely place I f<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">oun<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">d one of my fa<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">vorite shirts to wear w<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">as American Eagle! I also<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> s<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">uggest buying a size larger than you might normally wear since it will give a <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">less fitted look<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. Remember, when you get a <b>gift car</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>d</b> from someone for a retail store, try looking around that store to fin<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">d any <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">items to wear in fairy kei when you go shopping<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Though if you are looking for online independent seller sources, <b style="box-sizing: border-box; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">Ebay,</b> <b style="box-sizing: border-box; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/search?q=fairy%20kei&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline-color: initial;">Etsy</span> </a>, </b><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">and <b><a href="http://www.storenvy.com/shop/?q=fairy%20kei" target="_blank">Storenvy</a> </b></span>have many things for sale which are good for fairy kei if you do some searching. Etsy has lots of independent sellers who make very nice fairy kei style accessories and clothing of varying prices. Also, Etsy is another good source for cheap vintage clothing. You can easily find lots of cool 80s/90s stuff for cheap. Storenvy is a bunch of independent sellers similar to Etsy, but they usually sell things that are imported from other places or are secondhand as opposed to handmade items. Like Etsy, Storenvy is also varying in prices.<b> </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>REMEMBER</b> that if you're looking for a specific price range of items in places like Ebay, Etsy, or Storenvy, always adjust the <b>price range search option </b>on the left side of the screen! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I highly recommend looking at the LiveJournal and Facebook <b>community sales </b>as well where people will sell their secondhand or brand new J-fashion items at various prices.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Another option that is very helpful are<b> online Japanese secondhand shops</b> such as <b><a href="http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/" target="_blank">Closet Child</a></b>.

Dear Fairies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a lovely bunch of gifts from my mother when she went to France. Laduree is a famous sweets shop in France that specializes in macaron and Uniqlo had a line of collaboration shirts with Laduree. I got three shirts from Uniqlo and a Marie Antoinette tea from Laduree. The Uniqlo shopping bag even has a bunch of macaron on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laduree unfortunately has locations in only one city in certain countries, so the only one in the US is in New York City. I hope to go check it out next time I'm in the big city though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tea is wonderful and I love the shirts. Uniqlo definitely has some of the best quality clothing.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dear Fairies,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I’ve been watching Full House for the past few months and realize why
Spank! likes this show. A lot of the clothing, especially from earlier
episodes, is quite nice for inspiration in fairy outfits.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, next time you watch this ridiculously whitewash clean cut show,
keep an eye out for cute ideas. Scrunchies, poofy bangs, oversized
shirts, large print sweaters, jumpers, overalls, etc.</span></div>

Wow, I've got so many posts which I probably should have posted ages ago, but I'll post them anyway!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, a little while back I was invited, by a lolita friend, Vivian, to participate in a Japanese street fashion show at a university. All I have to say is I was so excited for this!! It was so great that these students were getting together to basically inform the student body on the different street fashions of Japan.</div>

Of course, I saw this as an opportunity to get fairy kei more recognition by wearing fairy kei in the fashion show. In fact, no one in the fashion show seemed to know what fairy kei was so I was happy to explain the fashion to everyone! It was also a wonderful opportunity to meet new J-fashion fans and make friends.</div>

It was just like a real fashion show! We had a little runway, loud music, cheering people, flashing camera lights from all the photography students... It was awesome! This lovely little show was put together by the lovely Crystal and Jacky of the wonderful Japanese Student Association on campus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fashion show consisted of lolita, visual kei, gyaru styles, and decora/kawaii styles.</div>

Two friends I made modeled decora in the kawaii style group: Aaron and Caroline. Even though I wasn’t even a student at this college, I felt extremely welcome and so happy to be among fellow Japanese culture enthusiasts ^_^</div>

Not only did I wear fairy kei, but since I dabble a bit in lolita, I decided to be an addition to the gothic lolita group by dressing in aristocrat style. My friend, Vivan, lovely musician and lolita, rocked the catwalk with her Vampire Requiem replica skirt, bonnet,and black parasol. I wore an “offbrand” (LipService) Victorian style gown with a lovely hat I found at a Claire’s once a while back.</div>

Celebrities in lolita dresses… Lady Gaga, Hayley Williams, Li’l Mama, Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson and Nicki Minaj…</div>
</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">

I’m sure some of you are aware of this recurring phenomenon where celebrities will randomly choose a lolita dress to wear for one reason or another. Just have some thoughts on this…</div>

Li’l Mama didn’t seem to know what to do with her dress and Jessica Simpson seems to mock the fashion by showing off her bloomers like they are a novelty. Many times, not following the lolita “guidelines” can lead to a less than desirable look.</div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
BUT with that said, I’ve heard many lolitas say something along the lines of this “Don’t call it ‘lolita’ if it’s not really lolita.” So, technically, just because all these women decided to wear lolita style and brand dresses doesn’t necessarily make the style they were going for “lolita.” Obviously, most of them just found the dresses cute enough to wear for whatever reason, obviously unaccustomed to the style. Yet, I think Gaga pulled off the look here well.</div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Personally, I think if you wear a lolita dress, and “lolita” is not your primary style, then it shouldn’t matter what or how you wear it. Hayley Williams looks absolutely adorable and Nicki Minaj is simple and nice in her own style</div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
If you are “lolita,” then, of course, you should dress in a way that would define you as such. Reason being that the lolita style is extremely difficult to maintain and learn, so naturally, it would probably be your primary or only style. Sometimes a lolita dress is just another part of someone’s wardrobe and they use it for their own style.</div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
In the end, these celebs probably just want to express their taste and style by wearing lolita dresses.</div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px;">
