Saka's Gothic Themed Meet~

I have to say, even when we have small parties, I have a blast. I really like seeing the different looks that people come up with, it's always super awe inspiring to me.

..and I usually want to squeeze everyone until the point they can't breathe.

ButIrestrainmyselfmostofthetime.

The last meet we had was at Saka's, again, and due to the lag there she actually upgraded her land (Probably for others reasons as well but let's be vain and say it's about lag. XD!) so her next party should be somewhere that gives everyone a little more breathing room and gives your SL an easier time!

The themed events seem to be going over well, from the feedback I'm getting from those who can attend. We've realized by trying another Thursday night meet that the best time for a larger amount of you to get together is late Friday nights/early in the day Saturday for those in the Japanesy time zones. However this leaves our lovely Euros out of the fun. Because of this I will be making and giving out officer applications for people to host parties at better time for the Euros during the weekend (Or other times if they want) while I'm not around. :] Please IM me (Chobii) if interested.

As always with every event, someone's total adorableness stood out to us... and if I'd have been giving a prize out for best dressed Sou would have gotten it for sure last time. His outfit from The Black Canary (WE MISS THEM SO DEARLY ;A;) was amazingly paired with Lo*Momo's mesh boots. His Elegant gothic attire took my breath away, personally, and it's pretty hard for a male avatar on SL to impress me. XD! Good Job, Sou. Please don't be too embarrassed, but you were so cute I haaave to show everyone! <3

Twins one meet and Triplets the next! This time Saka, Psyche, and I all dressed in G Field's Julia dresses in different colors with all the exact same accessories! It was super fun. QUADRUPLETS NEXT TIME? WHO IS DOWN? Not really (YESREALLY) the whole point of mentioning that is because we were talking and the topic of what makes classic lolita classic lolita and what makes gothic lolita gothic lolita? I mean, of course the standard guidelines of the fashion are to be followed, but beyond that what breaks them apart fully? We were all in agreement that the style of the dress reminded us more of classical than gothic, but because of the darker colors we were wearing we all chose it for gothic. O:

Psyche made a joke about it being the blind leading the blind. Which, well, in a way is true. Not leading in the terms that I'm trying to dictate what sub style of lolita everyone wears, but in running the group and making themes for meets... I'm a little out of touch with what falls into each individual style... and it seems I'm not alone! O:

Before we came across this, Elize gave me the wonderful idea of giving out a note card with references to lolita sites showing the lolita guidelines for those new to the fashion that were interested in it, giving everyone the opportunity to find all the sources I've found in my lengthy lolita adoration period. Psyche, Saka, and I are working out a set of note cards for just that, but the fact that Psyche said it was like the blind leading the blind.... I got another great idea!~

I'm going to begin monthly casual lolita meets, where people can come in whatever they're most comfortable in and bring friends that they think may be interested in the fashion. In these meets we're going to be going over the lolita guidelines and explaining the backing behind them, then we'll begin breaking down different sub styles of lolita to help you and us better understand them so that we can put better outfits together and get names of certain things to hopefully find them in SL easier, hm? :D! I do hope a lot of you will come to these, even if you do decide to in lolita dresses over casual clothes! <3

(If you'd like to help with these, please IM Chobii as we will be needing models in each of the sub styles as we go over them! O:)

The next event we're having is going to be an autumn themed one! I'm working on getting the date set. Violent Seduction store review is next!! O:

My blog for a peak at the blouses!

MUAH!

Summer Swimwear!!

One of the times I was hanging out on my friend Lele's beach, I got to thinking about lolita swimwear...

Did lolitas go out in bloomers and petticoats to splash around in the big ol' blue? I'd never seen any lolita swimwear before... was it a swimwear-less fashion?

Well, Pepper from Violent Seduction, who is an adoorable irl lolita, linked me to some cute lolita swimsuits on a blog she'd once seen.

It got me to thinking of the different things I've seen in the stores that carry cute and lolita like clothes that I go to. None of the extremely dedicated stores house swimsuits, but those do... and surprisingly some of them looked pretty similar to what Pepper had shown me.

A few of the girls and myself got together and popped on some swimsuits. With summer ending and fall coming in, we'll spend a whole lot of time bundled up, so I wanted to show off some cute and still... slightly... modest (For some of them x3!) looks that we'd come across!

It seems a whole bunch of places offer swimsuits that aren't your typical run of the mud string bikini~ Ambrosia has some amazingly cute strapless swimsuits with flowers and a skirt. Lo*Momo has a cute and frilly two piece on its second floor (It's on saaalee!) HalHina is offering some swim suits with skirts. Katat0nik has adorable sailor swimsuits with a higher waist and a lower chest that help to keep your modesty. (Also a super cute umbrellaa!) G Field has a mesh two-piece with a frilled skirt that comes in both rigged mesh and unrigged, so it can be made to fit any shape. (Even fur mesh shapes!)

My friend whose sim I was on when I thought about all of this, offers super adorable one pieces! One is in with one of her dresses, so it comes with a full on skirt for when you're not in the water! She also has some really cute frilled swimsuits in her beach shop which is what I was trying on. I'm most excited about her flip flops though, because they're the cutest flip flops I've seen so far in SL.

Summer is ending, and so is our ability to frolic around in swimsuits and be free and adorable at the same time! Elize hosted a beach party for us last week that turned out really well and was so much fun she asked to host another meet the following Saturday (Which was yesterday~) I'll have pictures of those up in the next few days~

While all hope seems lost, it is not! There is still a summer event that I know of that is going to be super fun! Saucey Sinister (The Lele I mention from time to time) is hosting a Summer Do-Over event, for those of us who just don't want to say goodbye yet! She's listed on HuntSL, and information about the event can be obtained through either she or I in world. Her blog will also keep you updated, so visit DoLlYpOp!! (Merchants are welcome, so if you wanna come sell some cutie swimsuits that I haven't shown yet, contact Lele for some information!)

This shoot was a lot of fun, and I really enjoy the swimsuits shown off. I hope you all liked them as well~ As always, thank you to our lovely models and to see more from them visit their blogs!

Want to know who is wearing what? Want to join our shoots? Ask Chobii! I have some special fun planned as far as pictures go, but but for now, the next shoot is scheduled to be a store review for Violent Seduction.

Have a Violent Seduction look you wanna show off with us, so others can see the amazing work that can be done with Pepper's dresses? IM Chobii for details. <33!

Remember our sleep over?

Well I totally ran into an adorable store after Katat0nik's last notice, about the hair she made for the femboy hunt. I'm a curious one so when I heard she meshed a hair after so long I just -had- to see. I went to her store, and from there the blog, and while peeping at her hair I noticed the most adorable ice cream hair bow headband. (I'm sure some of you remember me whining about it in chat. XD!) Welllll, not only does she have adorable headbands, but she also has some cute accessories. Socks and animal face slippers being two of my -favorites!- I had such a hard time finding sleep wear for the slumber party that I redid my whole outfit from it with the new slippers. I totally couldn't find a comfortable looking shirt to go under the tank, so it'll have to do. I'm still on the hunt though!

It makes me want to have another sleep over, andand I just might because of them. >~<!!!

(Also sporting one of Rosy Mood's hairs for the Hair faaaiiirr!)

She's got hair bows, leg bands, some fur tails, anime emote blind folds, and a few other cute things in her store. I recommend giving it a look to add some cute flare, especially to any decora lovers out there!

The owner of NoRe also wanted me to let people know that she's interested in doing some free art commissions for practice! I have a NC of all of her terms and conditions for anyone who likes their individual SL looks captured in art forrrevverrr~ She's also willing to do fur. IM me for Note caards. :]

A few goodies for Lolitas!

 Fauxlita event anyone? Well, apparently it's a cotton candy and Lolita theme, but there is hardly any actual Lolita there unless it's pre-bought mesh dresses with textures thrown on them. ASIDE FROM Violent Seduction's Rosearie dress, which took my breath awaaayy. It got Saka and I so giddy that we dress a few people up and had a little tea partyyy~ Unfortunately due to time zones two of the people bailed early. ;A;

There are also a few other pretty cute dresses at that little thing, which I'll leave a SLURL to at the bottom of this. I'm a hater, we all know this, but even I have to say a couple of the other dresses were cute if worn and not categorized as Lolita. There are also some pretty eyes, a cute necklace, a little tiara, and a couple maid uniforms that are pretty cute. There is also a dress that would be a decent JKS if worn with a blouse, and a bunch more. GO CHECK IT OUT~ From what I saw, most items were $100L a color. For an original mesh dress, that's amazing. Igotallfivecolorsit'ssocute.

Speaking of Violent Seduction, The designer is now added to our group as a designer! Along with Jinn from Wishbox, Pidgeon from Katatonik, Sherry from Ambrosia, Milo from Bubblez's Design and others I can't think of, I'm so sorry anyone I forgot to mention. I want to thank all of you for bringing us adorable clothes to run around in.

On the topic of Wishbox, Jinn put one of her BEAUTIFUL Charm dresses out as a gift!~ I do advise anyone to pick that up because it's super cute!

Last, but not least, is that the hair fair is in SL again until the 28th! Each designer involved donates a portion of sales to "Kids with Wigs", and a bunch of awesome designers like Rosy Mood, Alice Project, Ploom, D!va, Wasabi Pills, and Lamb are there with hair styles that are exclusive to the hair fair! I haven't been able to explore it fully, but I loved the styles D!va and Alice Project had. I had to pick them up as a preview to get you in; LOOK AT THESE PIGTAILS. (The Diva style is the bun I'm wearing in the mint Rosearie dress from VS) <333 Go support kids with cancer!

I have shoulder issues at the moment that are keeping me from being as frequent with this as I'd like, but Saka and I are back for the most part so store lists will be coming out again and I will be trying to get the group more active! Another update will come soon, as I've yet to completely store hop due to laaaaag monsters.

I will defeat it though, I'm a lv.99 white mage summoner. D; <3
