I am craving the meet-ups! I haven't been to one in forever! When is the next one?  I know there is one on Halloween~ but that is a bit hard for my schedule~

So when when when??? Lets make one really soon!!!

So I realized that not only are the Deco-Accessories uber cute~ but they can actually help me make some money!

Problem is: where do you get all the adorable supplies? I know Hobby Lobby and Michaels with have some~ but what about the strawberries, the food supplies, the hello kitty stuff? Where do you find all that? are there online shops?

Also- how do you make the rings? What do you use for frosting? I read somewhere that most people used a silicon substance- but I couldnt find any...

I'm on the decorating train now and I want to make something! So any help would be amazing!!!

Hello! 

So I am planning on taking a Lolita photoshoot of about maybe 4-5 Lolita's having a picnic~! I perfer sweet Lolita's but casual will work too!

When: Tuesday ( August 11th) Noon-4
Where: Springbrook Prairie maps.google.com/maps
What: Lolita Photoshoot (Sweet/Casual)

Let's make this an amazing one! Thank you!

I'm angry. I don't have a job, no one will hire me, no one will commission me and I have absolutely no way of income.

Does anyone know of any way I can make money, whether it be making little crafts or baking or whatever? I'm just trying to make money so I can start saving up for my boyfriend's birthday present and then I will finally be able to save up for some Lolita clothes, which I just went online "what I want" shopping, and there are alot of clothes that I want~

Any help? Please~~?

Took another shoot for my Lolita Portfolio~ it was with Kim!

Thank You!

I'm planning my next photoshoot for my Lolita Portfolio to be on Thursday, July 16th!

The first one worked out beautifully with ElleJay~ (here are the pictures: lostintheasylum.deviantart.com/gallery/#Lolita-Portfolio !)

So, if anyone is available this Thursday afternoon, I would love to take pictures of you!

Again: if you would like to model, comment here and I will need to see pictures of the outfit you would liek to be photographed in with all accessories and such! From there I can pick out the setting and we can go!

As of now, I am planning on going to Downtown Chicago!

So it is raining right now and it is a freaking ugly day...woohoo......................

Anyways, so we will still have the meet-up~ and hopefully in 4 hours it won't be raining anymore... -__-

So, like I mentioned, the area where we are eating will be covered, but we are walking all the way there...we can always stop into a store or Barnes and Nobles and chill there reading manga~ lol I don't know. this really sucks.

So again, don't forget your umbrellas and maybe even a jacket.

Lyz isn't able to make it, so now this is the list:

Me +1 (cupcakes & a big sandwich)
jaxsie_san.livejournal.com (cookies)
peachiekawaii.livejournal.com
ellejayvee.livejournal.com +1 (non-sweet dinnery food)
aonele.livejournal.com +1 (fruit)

Hope everything works out okay with everyone~~

Here is my cell phone in case people end up in the wrong place and need to contact me : 1.630.947.5850

So it might rain this friday...its stinks...but whatever. So where we will be having food is also an area that is covered! But if we are to walk all the way over there- we might get rained on. So make sure to bring umbrellas and the sorts~!

Here is another look at the guest list and what everyone will be bringing in terms of food~ (If it is not raining by the time the meet starts, I will also bring a blanket~ if it is already raining we will not want to sit in the grass...)

Me +1 (cupcakes & finger sandwiches)
jaxsie_san.livejournal.com (cookies)
peachiekawaii.livejournal.com
ellejayvee.livejournal.com +1 (non-sweet dinnery food)
aonele.livejournal.com +1 (fruit)
misslyz.livejournal.com (pasta salad)

Thank you very much and if you would like to join just comment and let me know!!!

My very first shoot for my Lolita Portfolio with ElleJayVee was a success!!! The pictures are here: lostintheasylum.deviantart.com/gallery/#Lolita-Portfolio !

*This is my very first attempt at hosting a Loli Gathering, so bear with me*

What: Tanabata (Star Festival)
Where: Downtown Naperville
When: July 7th (or July 10th)
Who: LOLITA'S!


July 7th is Tanabata (alos known as the Star Festival) a holiday famous in Japan.

Info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanabata

I though this is such a fun custom and holiday I though that we could have a Lolita Gathering in my hometown: Naperville.

Here is my plan: We start either at the very beginning of the river walk or close enough and walk down the riverwalk (while taking a gazillion pictures), then we will go right through the middle of downtown Naperville and stop at the candy store, then we continue to the riverwalk and at the end of it (by Centennial Beach and a skatepark) is a gorgeous opening of space that is perfect for a picnic. After our picnic we can celebrate Tanabata and hang up our wishes on the trees surrounding us! What I love the most is that most of the girls wear Yukatas, and I know that many Loli's have Yukatas! (and if you don't it doesnt matter~~ just have fun!)

Here is the Map on How the route would go (it followed the streets although we would be walkign along the river) : maps.google.com/maps
Poll #1423693 What Day Should We Have The Tanabata Meet-Up?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 3

Tuesday July 7th

Friday July 10th

So I think this sounds like a lot of fun!! I really hope it all works out!!!

Where: (Downtown) Naperville
When: Thursday June 2nd

This thursday I am going to the Ribfest with ellejayvee.livejournal.com/  and we are going to dress in Lolita (since I am doing my first photoshoot with her but also since I love to dress Lolita too!!) I was wondering if anyone else would want to meet up~ there is music and rides and games and RIBS!!! lol~~ It's really quite nice especially if we spread out a blanket and just have a night picnic!

Anyone interested! Txt/Call me at 1.630.947.5850 or email me at: blue.crystal@att.net

I really want to attend the Strawberry Festival, but since it is in Long Grove- I have no ride. If anyone is willing to give me a ride (both ways) I can meet them at Naperville ( where I live), Lisle, Downers Grove or even Chicago (from the Metra Station).   I would really appreciate it~

There just might be a +1 (my boyfriend, a super awesome sexy man,  is a HUGE maybe~) Again I would really really appreciate it! I would love to go so much, but I need a ride unfortunately. Contact me at 1.630.947.5850 or email me at blue.crystal@att.net

Thank you

July 7th is Tanabata (alos known as the Star Festival) a holiday famous in Japan.

Here is the actual info on it: One of the most romantic festivals anywhere in the world, 'Tanabata' occurs on the 7th day of July, the 7th month. The Star Festival (Tanabata) tells of an ancient Chinese legend recounting the romance between 'Orihime' the Weaving Princess and 'Hikoboshi', the Shepherd, but that love interfered with their duties thus incurring the wrath of 'Tenkou', the Sky King and father of 'Orihime'. The couple was banished to opposite shores of the Milky Way, however, the king's affection for his daughter allowed for a single sky-bound rendez-vous for the heart-broken couple. In most of Japan, the celestial event when the stars Vega and Altair are in nearest conjunction occurs each July 7th, although in some areas it's according to the Lunar Year calendar. The two most popular such festivals are celebrated July 7th in Hiratsuka, Kanawaga Prefecture and August 7th in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. Inscribing the heart's true wishes and desire on 'Tanzaku' (colored paper streamers) and hanging it from a bamboo tree is a sweet and romantic 'Tanabata' custom.

I though this is such a fun custom and holiday that I have scene is in so many animes~  I though that we could have a Loli Gathering in my hometown: Naperville.

Here is my plan: We start either at the very beginning of the river walk or close enough and walk down the riverwalk (while taking a gazillion pictures), then we will go right through the middle of downtown Naperville and stop at the candy store, then we continue to the riverwalk and at the end of it (by Centennial Beach and a skatepark) is a gorgeous opening of space that is perfect for a picnic. After our picnic we can celebrate Tanabata and hang up our wishes on the trees surrounding us! What I love the most is that most of the girls wear Yukatas, and I know that many Loli's have Yukatas! (and if you don't it doesnt matter~~ just have fun!)

Here is the Map on How the route would go (it followed the streets although we would be walkign along the river) : http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=41.770558,+-88.147511&daddr=41.772886,-88.148511+to:41.771545,-88.14985+to:41.770016,-88.161265&hl=en&geocode=FT5efQIdyfm--g%3BFVZnfQId4fW--g%3BFRlifQIdpvC--g%3BFSBcfQIdD8S--g&gl=us&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=41.771715,-88.15444&sspn=0.010946,0.019312&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=16 <--hopefully that works lol~~ So overall its about a l ittle over a mile to walk~~

This would be on July 7th, which is a Tuesday; I know that can be troubling (having it in the middle of the week), but I think it would be really sweet to have the festival on the actual day! If not alot of people are able to go, then it can be that Saturday- I know there is a Crafternoon that Sunday~~

I think this could be a really fun Meet-Up! I hope there are others interested!!

Comment inf you are interested, plus you can email me at: blue.crystal@att.net or just Private Message me~~

Thanks!
