Homeo and manliette - A tale of two wardrobes














Two wardrobes, divided by gender, brought together in passion(for fashion) by young Homeo and Manliette...
er, well actually, switching wardrobes for the evening seemed to be the most logical solution for life.

It was fate.

A true tale people.

a true tale.......

An inspector calls

"oh what a lovely home you have dear"
Spoke the cat.
"thank you, what a charming personallity you have"
I replied as the cat sat upon my lap with grace, purring away.
"oh why thank you dear, though i must tell you, i am not fond of tuna..."
So once the dish was placed to the ground, the cat turned tail and vanished into the warm afternoon.
I was hopeful he'd come again, though i do wonder his intentions, coming in, looking around, acting elequent.
Then leaving.


Ok, so perhaps he wasn't really an inspector, but he was a ridiculously freindly cat.


I moved into my student house eight days ago, and currently we do not have the internet, so it will be a while till i can start my blogging again.




Plans!




Yes... i have plans!


This blog is going to gain a purpose, there will be weekly baking, styling and sewing tutorials!


It's rather annoying how i would like to get this started now...but all in due time.

and just because it has to happen, 30 more cupcakes.

Bringing my summer total to 120 ^__^

Tweedle Dum Tweedle Dee, but which is her and which one me?

So for a friends Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party, the wonderful Ame and I decided to (on a small primark budget!) go as Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee! Everyone put so much effort in!
We had alot of fun confusing the wonderful idiots over on Omegle.com with webcam fuckery.

And OBVIOUSLY
I made cupcakes.
I am ashamed to say I was sober all night, haha but had just as much fun as the drunk did!

Bristol Zoo Lolita meet! A late post....

Better late than never?
So a few weeks ago i went to my 3rd-ish lolita meet-up, it was held at bristol zoo so yay for seeing meerkats and bats and other cool animals ^_^
As you can see, we are all meerkats now. This is what I wore, I wanted to put a little 50's spin on lolita because I guess it mixes in more with my personal style.
Not particually flattering but it could be worse...lol.
Brogues with lolita = love.
Make up was dead by then due to the rain.
Butt shot!
Amelie looking mighty fine inside a ship window! I had such a wonderful day! Everyone was super friendly and even though it rained alot it was still a laugh.
I'm glad everyone put so much effort into getting (and baking) food and looked so lovely!
I need to go to more lolita meets.
Which means buying more lolita clothing, haha.

Vintage finds

So yesterday i dragged my mom to the carboot sale, despite her thinking it would rain, therefore a bad turnout of sellers.
But there was no rain. And a lot of sellers!
I was looking mainly for things on ships, old maps, books on the sea, ect. For my uni project "ill lit ships" (named after a blaqk audio song)

What i found however was much MUCH better.

I have been looking for a typewriter for ages now, it's just one of those thing's i'd love to own, because i love to write, and i love vintage things.

Not only did i find alot of working, perfectly conditioned typewriters, but i found one with a carrycase (it's a junior petite) its TURQUOISE!
it was £5.00
all it needs is a new ink ribbon as the current one has dried out.

eep! it's going to look so cute in my uni room on my desk....

Also my mom found a huge vintage suitcase for £2.50, i found a miniture (A5 size) one for £1 and the book, an old bible dating back to the 1800's for £1 also!



I also found this bag for £1


So all in all an EPIC trip! Though no one had anything on ships...boo!

Delight meet! A Gyaru day out~

Delight
So the day after Gackt I went to Delight's Gyaru meet up! (Amelie you suck for getting me into this stuff but i lub chu anyhow)
I forgot how awesome circle lenses are XD
I had so much fun meeting everyone and i'm glad i got to see them at Gackt too! ^^
I definatly think gyaru is gonna happen again XD I mean tbh my daily make-up is gyaru without the lashes and lenses anyways. And it can be mixed with mori which is my no.1 style anyways.
Personally i think it's ok to mix styles as long as you do it subtly.
I enjoy mori/vintage/lolita mixes and gyaru/casual also so it's all good really...
I don't think people should be confined to ~one style only~ because people are not the same all the time! and boxes are boring!Anyway, for our day we went to China Town to take purikura, then had lunch in a nice chinese (and woo i had my strawberry chopsticks with me!)
Then we went to the arcade to mess about on some games and then to st. James park!
It was a really lovely day and I will defiantly go to more meets!
^.^

GACKT and YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz

Oh my gosh

Seriously, I cannot thank Amelie and James for finding my Gackt ticket and lending me the money for it! LOVE YOU GUYZ!

So on the wednesday Amelie and I traveled to London for the friday Gackt concert in London's O2 islington academy.

Due to the no camping rules we ended up finding a hostel for the wednesday night but hung about in islington the rest of the time to make sure we still could get to the que asap!

I managed to be no.8 in the que! which was worth sleeping on the street for! lol.

Seriously, i am not kidding, seeing Gackt live has to be the best gig i have ever been to in my whole life EVER.

The setlist rocked!

Gackt ripped his shirt off and threw it RIGHT NEXT TO ME! so i now own a piece of his shirt! (which smells amazing, apparantly it's Chanel's Platinum Egoiste ugh i need some...)


Chacha looked SO HAPPY it was adorable! and You was to my left and he looked awesome too (well they all did, but i particually like chacha and you...)


Ugh but Gackt! seriously, that man is a god, nothing compairs to seeing that man live.

Everyone was so nice also! I'm so glad i met the people I did ^.^ It gives me faith in Jrock again, and after not enjoying girugamesh (which was the last band i saw before Gackt)

EEP it's just so hard to put into words what that gig ment to me.

After all, it was seven years ago i first found Gackt and Jrock!

A sentiment.

As I lay on this hell shaped bed,
I remember what i've done
and what's just in my head


Spending the day listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, playing with my dolls and eating ice cream.
I'm on a mental comedown. But feeling good.
The summer has a weird effect on me.
I feel calm and much more myself again.

This is my new doll Emilio the 2nd


He needs a new wig but i'm thinking i like him blonde <3

I think i like things right now.
