I'm still alive everyone I swear~!
 I can't believe how long it takes me to make posts. It's so pathetic! Even though I haven't been updating regularly like I want to, I have been taking all kinds of pictures, and they're just awaiting editing. Work makes me so exhausted, and stressed out that by the time I'm home, I just wanna veg out on tumblr.    And also, even though I have tons and tons of gets to share with you, I'm sadly lacking in outfit photos, since most of the time I'm in work clothes, and on the weekends I'm either recuperating in comfy womfy lounge wear, or if I am dressed up I'm dashing out to go somewhere. So yes, add that with the lack of a full length mirror and that explains my lack of coords. Pitiful, but it's the truth!
Summer is coming though, and with that will come many, many opportunists to get dolled up and cam-whore!

And speaking of getting dolled up, that brings me to the meat and potatoes of this blog post!

You can read the full article by clicking on the banner above! Words could not even express how happy I was when I read about the news on tumblr! In the past AX has been notorious for having many if not all of it's fashion segments centered around Lolita, and this the first time genuine gyaru brands will be showcased! And the best part of it is, that after the show, the gyaru booth will have many brand items for sale!
 Good bye money! 

I know many of the local SoCal gyaru will be working the booth, and some may even be in the fashion show. I'll definitely be attending -- I haven't decided what I'm wearing yet-- so please say hi if you see me! Just shout 'Milky way heart!' and I'll be sure to turn around.
It would also be really great if after the fashion show us gals could go catch lunch and have a meet up! Please let me know in the comments if you're planning on attending! You can register for AX here.

Since I mentioned earlier that I had a ton of hauls to share with you guys, I'm going to give you a sneak peak of just a few of the things I've been able to purchase:


Everything was delicious. Tell me, what do you think of the new watermark? Is it too big, difficult to read, or just needs to be changed all together?

Hello all my lovely followers! How are you doing? I hope you can all forgive me for my super long absence! I feel so terrible to having neglected my blog for so so long! I really feel terrible!   However, I'm still on my Vacation for another week, so please expect a barrage of posts from  me over the weekend! I have such a terrible back log!  I have many things to post about, such as events, a huge month long shopping haul, my birthday, etc! But let's get started with this!

As always I'd like to thank my newest follower:
Kiki
I appreciate it so much!

As you all know a while back at the end of November Spank!, Bubble Punch,  Chubby Bunny and many other great artist got together to hold the Sweets Streets event at WWA Gallery in Culver City. I was dying to go and the amazing Sarah of Happiimilk agreed to let me go with her! It was wonderful finally meeting her and her friend Oli in person!  Well, when we finally got there, it was PACKED. The line was literally out the door and almost around the corner. We all had to wait for a while, but it did give everyone time to chat and make new friends! Unfortunately it also gave the weather time to change up and RAIN on us.  I think there was a lot of miscommunication and confusion going on with the organizers and the staff. 

However, finally everyone was let in and I was ecstatic to see all the wonderful art work!

There were so many people! And everyone had on such interesting clothes!

This was my outfit of the day! As you can tell, I've got some of my previous Gets on from earlier. I went with Pink, because I don't have to many Fairy-Kei type clothes.

Truly Outrageous! I love the crystals growing out of Jem!

The pink Totoro was adorable! Even while risqué, I really enjoyed the Princess inspired piece.

Some sexy and cute artwork from Beibadgirl! Rilakkuma milk!

There are never enough magical girls!

Speaking of magical girls, this photo has one of my favorites! Creamy Mami is always amazing!

I love her outfit!

Loved these two pieces of work! The colors and the art style were amazing to me! Also, I want those shoes!

These works were truly astounding to me. I loved how the artist was able to take inspiration from Traditional Japanese & Chinese  fashion and myths and combine them with modern pop and colors to create something utterly original and fantastic!

Of course, not only was I there to see the amazing art work, but I ran into some wonderful people as well!
It was a great event to meet and greet, and I saw some wonderful bloggers as well. Unfortunately, there were a little too many people, so holding a conversation was a bit difficult.

The ever beautiful Risa!

Two of the organizers of the event! I loved their hair! Such gorgeous, vibrant colors! and that Sugar Pill necklace is AMAZING.

I didn't get a chance to catch their names, but I believe the girl on the right was a model for the fashion show! Also, Big Bows and Start dresses!

So much cute pink! And those earmuffs!

Lindsay looking adorable as always!

After looking at all the beautiful artwork, it was time to go and shop! Chubby Bunny had an adorable mini shop set up in the back, and she was debuting some of her new pieces!

The shop!

Because the size of the shop was so tiny, there was another line to get in, but it was worth the wait! Even though I was toward the tail end of the line, there was still some adorable stock left! So thanks a lot Chubby Bunny! After I bought my items, Sarah was ready to go, so we bid adieu to the Spank! land, and went hunting for some late night eats. We ended up at El Pollo Loco, but it was still delicious!  So, what did I get?

This bag! So simple, yet so cute! I adore it!

The Haul!

Here's what's inside: Candy, a fashion pin, brochures for the event and the upcoming ones, and my adorable hair pins! I love them so much. I purchased three shooting stars, and one triple bunny pin! Cute and durable!
That sums up my time at the Sweet Streets gallery exhibit!

"It has been my hope that through live concerts, motion pictures, recordings, international competitions, and interesting public forums, a larger group of people will learn to love classical music and attend live concert performances." - José Iturbi,

Hello, everyone! How's it going? Did you all have a good 11/11/11? Did you make wishes? My 11/11/11 didn't start off so well, but it ended pretty nicely. I also have a lot of gets from the day to show all of you too! I can't believe November is ticking by so steadily! It'll be Christmas so soon!
But before that, I'm happily waiting on those Black Friday sales. I love shopping so much! I need many more things. :3

So, I'd like to thank my newest followers:

Thank you as always! It means so much to me!


So, just as promised, I'm doing my absolute best to get through my backlog! After this only one more post to go! I want to be a good blogger worthy of all my followers!

On October 30th, Alexa invited me to accompany her to a classical piano concert in Hollywood. The concert was put on by the Jose Iturbi Foundation and featured the musical talents of Anastasia Markina & Dmitri Levokivich. The concert took place in the grand ballroom of The Hollywood Museum.
For those of you who have never been to the Hollywood Museum, the name pretty much gives itself away. It's a huge show case of everything Hollywood, from the classic dramatic 1940s, to the 2011 HBO hits. In addition to the display cases, they have actual replicas of starlets make up/dressing rooms, large photographs and a collection of costumes used on set with an explanation behind the design and the materials.

The original crime family.

 When we where there, they had the display of costumes from The Borgias out. I have never seen the show due to my lack of cable television at home, but reading about it and looking at the outfits, it seems right up my alley! Plus it has Jeremy Irons. And I do love myself some Jeremy Irons. (Right up there with Rick Allen)

The concert took place on the third level, so Alexa and I decided to take the stairs. Normally I would be against such a crime towards my high heels, but the stair way was lined with classic movie posters and it was very interesting to read them all!

:3 Lots of 'splosions

Once we got to the ballroom, we had some time before the concert, so I looked around and watched the world burn people mingle amongst themselves. The set up was to be expected, they had some very comfy looking sofas on the side of the ballroom, but we were sat in chairs. Our seats were closer to the back, so it didn't provide much of a view of the stage, but luckily the foundation set up plenty of TV screens for us to look on in comfort.

 Before the concert, Mr.Iturbi's God-daughter and CEO of the foundation gave us a a long winded very detailed speech about the history of her God-father and his foundation. They finished with a fifteen minute film reel high-lighting the major points of Mr.Iturbi's career and his personal history. After the film, the concert began.  Of course I photos and filming was not allowed, and even if they were my crummy cell wouldn't have gotten anything good, the room was so dark.

The opening song was a duet of "Danses Andaloues, III, Gracia (El Vito)" for two pianos by Anastasia & Dmitri. After it was over, Anastasia began her set. We had a brief intermission in which we were treated to another movie about Mr.Iturbi accompanied with cookies. After the intermission Anastasia and Dmitri performed "Brazileira from Scaramouche (Mvt. 3)". When it was over Dmitri was to begin his set, however there was a delay in the transition period due to technical difficulties. Once everything was sorted out, Dmitri  took the stage. On the whole, I had to say that I enjoyed the songs he performed more than the ones Anastasia did. The concert ended with a final duet of "Rhapsody in Blue".

After the concert we were treated to a fabulous dessert reception!

The lighting was so dark!

 A lot of the desserts were a bit too 'chocolatey' for me, but the fruit based ones were devine! I wish I could have gotten better pictures, since all the dessert was as pretty as it was tasty! I am not shocked to say, people and myself went back for seconds. We were also able to meet and greet the artist for a small time after the event.

Since we still had a little bit of time until the museum itself closed, Alexa and I decided to browse around the display rooms.

We're all in this together!

A display of fashions from HSM 3. I only watched the first one, but the dresses were so pretty I had to take a quick shot. After looking around, the museum was finally about to close, so Alexa and I were on our way. Before we walked back to the car, I decided to snap some shots of Hollywood, since I'm so rarely down there, and especially at night!



And that was the end of our evening out! So before I go, the sweet Miss Banny tagged me to do a little survey!

Anyone who wants to do it! LOL COP OUT.

So tell me, do you guys like classical music? Classical Hollywood? What's your best concert experience?

    Hey everyone how are you doing? I hope you're all great! So recently, I went in for my second interview for a promotion at my job! I was really nervous, and I'm even more nervous about where I'm going to be placed if I do get the new position! But until then I have a stable assignment I'll be working on from now until the final word on if I'm promoted or not. Wish me luck please! >A<;

  So can you believe we're in November already? I can't! This year is almost over, it's unbelievable! Do any of you have exciting holiday plans? I'm personally looking forward to my vacation! And Thanksgiving, and most of all: Black Friday and Day after Christmas sales! I really want to get myself a new digital camera, and some head-phones! I NEED MY MUSIC!

I apologize for the lack of posting this weekend, I really wanted to work on my backlog.

Saturday I had a 'Clean Up Party' with my mom, (Which lasted 5 hours! xAx) and then today we hit up the mall. In addition to that, my iron medication had me feeling in the pits. I'm still feeling nausea, and now it's almost as if I have the chills. Iron fail. :|

But enough about me, let's get on to the post! As always, I'd like to take this time to thank my new followers!

So, so many new faces! Thank you all, each and every one of you! It means so much to me, to have so many people think this blog is worth following!



So, earlier last month, the lovely Marie was kind enough to host a Gal meet at the famous Getty Museum.
Our meet up was a small group, but everyone was super kind and nice. I attended with Alexa. We got there a little late, so we had a bit of a miscommunication when we were trying to find the other girls! ^^;

But we all finally did meet up, and it was so nice to see everyone. We had a small group, and we had a bit of a hike to find somewhere to eat our lunch. I was super happy that all the girls liked the yakisoba Alexa and I brought. I only wish there had been a microwave around so they could have enjoyed it hot!

We sat and talked for a while, but we all had to leave early and go out seperate ways, since Rowie had to be on a flight back home! ;O;/

Shawnee, Marie, Rowie & Sachiko

After we left  Shawnee, Alexa and I decided to go hit up Little Tokyo. We went to visit various shops, like Q-pop, and Kinokuniya, Marukai, and Marukai Kawaii. If you've never been to Marukai Kawaii, and you're close to the Downtown LA area, you must go! They're so adorable, and they have so, so many items. From Zakka (housewares) to make up, to hair products/pieces and every other thing you might need to make your life cuter!

Yees, I want some of everything.

So much beautiful make up! They carry all kinds of brands and items!

A huge assortment of NXY and Nail polishes

My eye make for the day
