Anime Banzai 2011

My friend and I went to Anime Banzai this year and had a ton of fun! I taught two Lolita Panels (I was soooo nervous since this was my first time) and I think everything went fantastically. A few of the local lolis came and showed their support. It was so nice to see everyone, and great to be able to talk to those studying Lolita fashion. I love to talk to people who have a genuine curiosity, and had fun answering questions. Hopefully I made everyone feel at ease!

Here are a few pictures from my time at the convention:

Ghostbuster loli! Who ya gonna call?

Teaching the panel.

This guy put a steampunk look together that was understated and very cool.

One of the local lolis in a skirt she made herself. She's great!

AND a bonus pic of my cosplay during the con:

Shiemi from Blue Exorcist. Yay!

To the reader: Have you ever been to a Lolita Panel or Class? What would you like to see in one?

Ta Da! Birthday Meetup!

I wanted to have a Lolita Birthday meetup, but due to scheduling issues not many local lolis were able to come. However, a couple made it and we had some good fun!

We met at my house first for some games and a little 'tea!'

shamelesslilly  arrived looking very sweet in Bodyline and Anna House! <3 She's new to wearing lolita, and I think she's off to a great start!

yan_yu  was perfectly elegant in offrand and homemade gothic!

My little sis loves lolita so she came, but our mom didn't let her dress. And me being the mean big sis, I made her take a pic! XD

And then there's me in Classic from Innocent World!

Group shot! Yes, we are standing on a hill, that's why the pic is crooked. XD

The 'tea!' Lemonade, punch, and sandwiches! I'll include the recipes later. They're soo yummy!



Can't have a party without cake!

 

Loli with a knife! MWAHAHAHA!

Then we went to the mall and did a scavenger hunt, talked and just goofed around. We were so busy we didn't take many pics, but here's a few that turned out:

 

CAAAANDYYYYY!

After the last mall meetup, a bathroom shot was obligatory! <.< We got this one quick and got OUT of there!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
