Days of the Dead

I went to Days of the Dead, which is a horror-themed convention.
There was a coffin at one of the booths were you could take pictures in.. kind of weird, but I had to do it!
It's really weird to know this is how I would look like if I would to pass away soon.. I personally wanna be cremated though :p
It's also one of my death wishes to come back and haunt the living. It's funny cause I don't like being scared, but I love scaring others. Although I think I'd mainly want to come back to see what else is going on with the world after I'm gone..
Sorry I'm kinda being morbid haha. Here, look at creepy plushies 8D
Gremlins!
My dress is by Hell Bunny, cardigan is Angelic Pretty, hat is thrifted, and accessories are Kreepsville 666. I'm also wearing back seam tights!
Close up of the print on my dress :)
Me and Ari♥
It was a small but interesting convention. I hope they continue to grow!

Lil' Gotham

I went to a signing at Phat Collectibles for Dustin Nguyen.
Example of his work! Somebody won this poster in one of the raffles.
He was only supposed to give free head sketches to the first 30 people in line, but he decided to do it for everybody! How kind♥
He most recently did the art and story for Lil' Gotham, which was the focus of the signing. I also got a free Batman print he did!
Pictures of the sketches! My friend Ari requested a chibi Joker, I picked Ivy, and the Batman is from another fan who attended the event.
Pieced Together Cosplay was also there!
Lazy Oaf shirt and my handmade Joker brooch 
Signings always inspire me.. it's so cool to meet people who are so crazy-talented and awesome at what they do -sighhhh-

Scout's Honor

After the Tokidoki event, I went to my friend's awesome boy/girl scout party.
I used to have a boy scout shirt a long time ago, but it got donated when I did some closet cleaning. Having nothing else really in theme, I wore my bear kigu. Obviously to raid their campsite and eat all their food! I was surprised some party-attendees didn't understand the correlation .__.
I forgot why my friend has this mascot costume, but this happened x]
Things got weirder..
And weirder..
Photo taken by my friend Bebe :)
It was a pretty cool party! I loved that pretty much everybody was dressed in theme. There was karaoke, limbo, hula-hooping, sparklers, girl scout cookies, and even zombie-shooting! Which I missed out on since it was during the day time. You can see a bunch of awesome pictures my friend took of her party here♥

galaxxxy girls

I kind of wanted to film like this.. 8)
It's official.. I'm a galaxxxy girl! For those who don't know what galaxxxy is, they're a Japanese fashion brand that's like bright 80's with a touch of nerd. Look at the Japanese blog to get a better feel.
Before and after~ 
I originally came with my hair in a heart, but I wasn't really feeling it with my outfit. Luckily my friend and fellow galaxxxy girl Yume let me borrow her hat! 
Outfit snapppp. Yume also let me borrow her awesome sneakers, which just happen to match perfectly with my sweater! The jacket, sweater, various pins, and hat are all from galaxxxy (jacket is borrowed).
Pictures from our shoot, decorating posters, and the finished product!
So last Sunday we gathered to shoot for our first video. We did an intro video where we interviewed each other, and then decorated posters of our partner based on what we learned in the interview.

It was fun, but also very nerve-wracking! It was good modeling experience though.. I'm kind of afraid to see the video when it comes out haha. The world will find out how weird I truly am 8D

The following pictures are what I took during the shoot. These are my favorite shots of the other girls♥
Sydney and Zilla
Sandy and Ari
Yume
Xochitl sitting on the couch where we had our interviews! I love the eyeballs :)
Yippy!
Believe it or not, that was only half of the galaxxxy girls! You can see Stephanie's post about the first group here. There are also two other galaxxxy girls in Florida, and you can see their intro video here.

I'm really excited to be a part of this awesome project. 
I can't wait to see galaxxxy grow!

Magazine Shoot

My friends and I recently did a little shoot with Divulge Magazine.
One of my favorite shots that wasn't in the magazine :3
You can buy an issue if you want. The digital copy is just a buck!

Or you can just see some photos that they posted on their site here. Some of the photos in the magazine and website differ. I kinda look derpy in both though x] It was a good modeling experience, and I got ice cream too!

Random Snippets of Late

I had lunch at IKEA with my sister. You gotta try their meatball plate!! Also one of my last outfits before my hair changed color again.. Those are also my daily glasses, but I really don't wear them out. I was lazy that day haha. It's too much work to put in contacts sometimes @__@
Detail snap of an outfit I wore to eat dinner with a friend. I like the color+pattern combo! Might be a repeat outfit :p
My first time trying on prom dresses! The bust is too big, but besides that I really liked this dress! I felt like a jellyfish princess x] It inspired me to make a similar dress.. someday..

And weirdly enough, I didn't even realize it matched my hair until the shop girl pointed it out haha! I just dyed it the day before, that's why.
One of these things is not like the other..
For my friend's birthday, we all pitched in to get her this huge Rilakkuma! For reference, the smaller one is about eight inches tall *__*
I tried on this Tory Burch top.. I kind of feel like a fashionable jedi?? It was about $300, marked down from $700 @__@

What have you guys been up to lately?

Tokidoki Party

Remember this preview? Well here's the post about my time as Donutella! Japan LA was having a Tokidoki party, and I decided to dress as my favorite character. I actually have always wanted to cosplay her, but I never really committed to making it until now!
Outfit snap!
Eee despite some small problems, I love this costume! I originally wanted to make an oversized hoodie, but I measured it too short.. so I made a skirt to go with it (which you can barely see there from this angle haha)! I also don't like how the hoodie bunches around my tummy, but it's hard to constantly adjust it when you have a giant donut in the way x] Besides it being hard to walk through doors and being able to hug people normally, this costume is a'ok :3 I guess the bangs kinda look awkward with the extension added, but I really don't care about that :p
Free cake balls from Lil Rae Cakes! The best I've ever had♥
Free decorating station with purchase (or if you bring your own) unicorno.
People were so creative *__* Mine is still blank haha!
Free face painting! Look at all of the choices..
Get yo nails did fo' free!
Trade your figures! Btw I took this picture near the end of the day when it was kinda dead :p
Me and my baby 8)
There was also a really cute tote bag with any Tokidoki purchase! I forgot to take pictures of it though.. I'm also holding the last Donutella *__* I didn't end up getting it, but I got one a week later hehe.
You can see me wearing my Ciambello charm as my zipper pull!
I like to think he's Donutella's boyfriend :p
Donutella doesn't actually have the Tokidoki heart and crossbones on her donut, so why did I put it there? It's actually a flap that hides the air nozzle for the swimming donut I used! That's why the shape is so nice and round x]
Last but not least, free photos/photobooth with Mozzarella!  And I guess me too haha.
It was a super fun and cute event! I really enjoyed it :D I can't wait for their next one! Although I'll kinda feel like a loser for repeating my outfit, but whatever x]

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

I went to Kyary's concert at Club Nokia in LA!
Last trip to the bathroom before camping out in line..
On the way walking there, I ran into one of my cute friends!
Reg outfit snap as we wait forever in line.
I decided to go casual since I had GA tickets.. the old lady part of me regrets that, cause standing up the whole time sucks. But we ended up with a really good spot: center front of the second tier's rail!

The concert was awesome. She played all her hits + her new song Invader Invader [too perf!]. She also sang other songs that I wasn't too familiar with, along with one of my faves Cherry Bon Bon. She also sang a cover Capsule's RGB, which I really enjoyed.

My only gripe is probably the lack of (cute) merchandise. There's such a great selection on the official Japanese website, but for the overseas tour I think there were three different towels and two different shirts [one with two colorways] to pick from. Although by the time I got over there, They only had the shirts left, and the cuter one was only available in size XS :( I really wanted some nipple bunny merch! [aka Pamyurin haha]
Last picture of the night~
I tried to take as many outfit snaps as I could of cuties who attended the concert. I don't have as many as I'd like, since I was stuck in line. Although I took quite a few after the show! See the pictures on Eclectic Cutie♥

This was actually my second time seeing Kyary in concert. My first time was at Rune Boutique~ I can't wait for the third time! :D

Kirby's Dream Band

Top picture's theme is Pokemon while the botttom one's is Final Fantasy :)
I went to go see Kirby Dream Band's last performance before one of their members moves to New York. Besides their music, their changing of hats to suit the listen they're playing is really entertaining and cute!
Barely anybody dressed in costume, but she did♥
Pit from Kid Icarus!
As for me, I got my sweater the hour right before I had to leave for the concert haha. Thirty minutes to and fro to buy the sweater, and another thirty to make the face and get dressed. Last minute, but I like the result :)
