SUSHI MEET-UP

After a long time of no meet-ups - at least for me - wonderful Evanee arrenged a meet-up to a really great sushi restaurant, Umeshu. Food was good and I think there was a small promise of a part two!

It's been such a long time since I last had the chance to really dress up nice and oh god did it feel good! It was also really nice to meet old friends and people I know, whom I last met at Helsinki Lolita Convention maybe. I need to do this more often and now that it's getting warm outside there are going to be more meet-ups. I'm hoping for themed ones!

I promise to make a post about my new clothes soon, there are a few!

TOMODACHI

I went out with my friends last week for Japan day 2013 and Art sale event. It was nice going out with all of them, eating well and dressing up nice.

Bubble tea is a mandatory stop on trips like these. I ended up tasting a new flavor, lychee and it was really good. I actually think it was Karu's first time tasting bubble tea! Sallamari's tea even matches her god damn outfit!

Karu likes Rilakkuma more than she likes us and her family all together. I see my future in this.

Daily homo. I'm still not a happy owner of a good white blouse so I had to use something very normal. Done with full black. Maybe that's the next thing on my to-buy list.

This is my cosplay group. Aka my girlfriend Cherry and best friend Rain. They are the two people closes and dearest to me and I spend almost all of my time with them. Okay, I see Rain more rarely because I have work, she's got school and I'm lazy. But we are the kinda friend who don't have to see to be friends. 

I'm with Cherry every weekend. We haven't been apart for a week straight since we started dating. She's tiny.

We thought it would be perfect to take pictures together since we don't really have pictures out of cosplay at all and this could be cool material for our cosplay blog/facebook. And it was cool dressing up for this~

THINGS HAPPEN

So lately there has been alot of stuff going on and I haven't had the time to tell about them properly yet! I haven't really ad blogging time since all my new life changes are taking my time, plus I spent a good time in bed being sick ;A;

Got a job! Yes I believe I've mentioned it quite a few times, at least on Tumblr and Twitter. So I am a Butler now! I work at Manga Café in Helsinki (everybody come see me) and I work every few weeks. You will get information on the Butler and Maid Nights on Manga Café Facebook page! I've now finished my Butler outfit and I've already worked once. It was kinda scary because it was the first time but I know I'm going to get more comfortable with everything the more I work.

Tokyo Otaku Mode interviewed us! We are the first Butler/Maid café around and they had alot of questions about how we were doing. Also they were really interested in me because I'm the only girl working in there - and I'm a girl Butler! It was super cool!

Interview [1/2] [2/2]

Got a cute bag from Sallamari! I've been in the need of a small bag to go with my outfits and just really something that'll fit my most important items. Maybe I'll take you on a tour around my bag one day.

I don't know why I draw blue lines on my face, don't ask me.

Shirt: Bodyline

Vest: Second hand

Pants: Bodyline

Shoes: Demonia

I got a really rare outfit photo taken of me! I'm applying to become the first Miss Gay Finland, and this whole project is 99.9% "For shits and giggles". S I had to take a full body picture taken and if I'm gonna be posting pictures I might as well look good while doing so. Plus now that it's warm outside I can start carrying my camera around more often and I can wear nicer clothes~!

There is something - or more like someone I haven't told you about. You see, I started dating a few weeks ago! Yay, I haven't been in a relationship for almost 2 years, and even that one was a long distance relationship. So it feels good to be in a relationship again. And it's going good I could say.

There she is. You can call her Mixu.

Qutie slushie.

HELLOCON

Ahhh I'm finally getting some pictures from the Helsinki Lolita Convention. I'll post more about it when I get more materials (like the photography service photos).

All in all it was a good day. I was slightly frustrated with having to wake up so early and having to cope with such small dressing rooms but what can you do? And sadly there was nothing for me to buy, everything was too girly - and I was prepared for it! If anything I saved some money.

I think the fashion shows were all quite good but ours was the best (ofcourse..)! And we had the most models which kinda surprised me since gothic styles are not as popular anymore than maybe sweet, ott and classic - at least this is how I've seen it.

Shirt: Atelier BOZ

Vest: Second hand

Pants: Bodyline

Socks: offbrand

Shoes: Bodyline

Our lovely group. I liked each and everyone's outfit in our cast and everybody was really nice. I hope to meet you people again in future projects and meet-ups!

And we actually have a video of the full fashion show! With a quick YouTube search I found two!! So I'm gonna post one here for you all to check it out if you missed the con or caught something in your eye that you'd like to see again!

RECENT MATERIALISM

So, I haven't even showed all my Christmas present over here yet! I've been really lazy, I know. But I've had tons of things to do at school and lots of cosplay stuff going on.. Phew, now I feel like I may have that extra hour to spend on updating my blog!

So yes, I've been buying and receiving lots of materia lately because of Christmas and the fact that I realized how much money I actually had left after my cosplay materials were all payed for. Let's take a look at what I've looted.

1. Lumene Natural Code makeup foundation (10. Vanilla). This might be the only foundation that is light enough for my skin. The coverage isn't too good but you can't always get everything you want.

2. Wet'n'Wild Silver nailpolish. I comfort shopped for some reason, I can't even remember what this was for. But it was cheap and looks kinda nice! Stays on better than I thought! I have a newly found love for gray/silver things so I kinda had to get it. I'm gonna use this on the new nails I'm doing today (pics later). 

3. Silver shampoo! Since I ran out of blue hairdye I thought like hey, why not let it fade a bit! I'm sick of blue shirts and blue bedsheets and blue hairbrushes. So I'm letting it fade away now - or more like just letting it be until I figure out what I want to do with it. The silver shampoo is gonna help keep it better/colder.

4. OLAY moisturizer. I've had this before and I love it because it has SPF 15. Plus it's one of the rare products that actually fit my skin.

I got this blouse as a Christmas present. I had ordered one that was completely different but for some reason they couldn't ship it to me, said there was something with th fabric. So I had to figure out a new one, and I gotta say, it's nothing like in the pictures. I wore it once and I don't think I'm gonna wear it again. It looks better in the pic than it does in real life.. I gotta say I'm disappointed.

But I did get a cute card with it!

These are maybe one of my favorite presents I got! Really pretty over-knee socks. I love them way too much, I'm almost scared of using them.

Awesome pantyhose. Loving these aswell!

For some reason I bought two bracelets from Morticia. They were "Buy one, get one free!" -kind of deal. I've destroyed the other one a bit so I can make it into a new jewel for my tophat, which I also butchered already.

Last Monday Sallamari decided to take me to Kakkugalleria for the All-you-can-eat. We decided to also take advantage of the situation and planned out some outfits and her Maid dress. You see, I've wanted a chocolate print ouji outfit for a really long time, so we've decided to make one ourselves - aka Sallamari will help me.

Small planning for the shape of the outfit. I don't think this is what we're gonna stick with till the end but it's more like a guideline.

Have my half eaten gross cakes. No really everything was god damn delicious!

Heheeeeey look at my new little friend! There was a dude selling plushies at Desucon Frosbite and since I had some cash I bought this little guy! Sallamari got the bigger one. My God he's so adorbs. I'm gonna start collecting these little guys.

And then to finish this all off have some selfies! I haven't really taken pictures of myself in a long long time..

AND WE GO OUT

Some time ago me and Ruispatonki finally tried out Bubble tea with milk! I think I'm addicted, actually. It tasted a bit like milkshake. Seriously if you have not tried yet you should, it was awesome!

Mine was Chocolate bubbletea with tapioca pearls and hers was Strawberry with peach pearls. The tapioca pearls feel kinda funny when you bite into them. Kinda dense and chewy and taste almost like nothing, but I really started to like them as I went on! *---*

Sometimes people ask what I eat. This is my typical breakfast. I'm totally hooked up on SodaStream Cola (actually drinking it now), since mom bought us another gas bottle for the machine. I may drink liters of it every day, tho I shouldn't. Also since it's winter I have to take alot of vitamins because my skin and body suffer from winter badly. I take multivitamins, D-vitamin drops and Evonia pills for hair growth. 

My mom is a vitamin freak and she showers me with pills every winter. On the summer she showers me with sunblock...

Today Ruispatonki actually managed to drag me out of the house again. It was just a normal hang around, I guess. Tho I did try to find some items I need for my cosplays! We were supposed to take some photos and such but that's what we always try. And that's what we always miss...

A warm and cozy moment for tea at The Ounce again. This time we had Irish Whiskey!

A little sneak peak of what I got in the mail this week. When my 2 final items arrive I'll be making a bigger Christmas present post. Also on Tumblr I got requested a peak into my closet. I just might do that! When I get time and light that is..
