Day 4 – Name a stereotype or cliche you can relate to.

Bad poetry and graveyard picnics.

Okay my poetry is not bad. I'm not saying that as a general defense either.Most people who hear my poetry (or read it) think it's very good. Most of mine isn't on the internet it's in notebooks. But i found two on my facebook that are relatively good. One's about me be a stalker in anime club (but not as creepy as another one i have in the blue rsnn.)

Darkness... 
Silence... 
Take a breath 
Noise.... 
Loudness... 
You can stare all you want 
but that doesn't make it true 
you can wish 
hope 
dream 
all you want 
But that doesn't make it real 
You can whisper it in the dark loudness 
but it'll never be heard 
No matter how hard you try you'll never be With the one you truly want 


Yeah. Graveyard picnics are one of my favorite things to do. Just walk through gaveyards. Sit and talk to them. Especially Elias. You guys probably don't know Elias so refer to this picture. For christmas one year my dad got a nightmare before christmas throw blanket. I use it for my picnic adventures. I used to have a real picnic basket until i lost it. Now i use a suitcase my grandma used to use. Until she died then when we were cleaning out her house i fished it out of the dumpster. I use it for vacations too. Like even on a plane. 

Day 2 – Share photos and experiences from your Baby Bat days.

Umm i'm not sure if/how many pictures i have. I don't have any pictures of my real babybat days because i didn't own a camera. I didn't own a camera until i was a Junior and got xavier. I'm not sure if any actually got onto the internet.

I searched facebook for these so here you go. Fear my derpiness!

Everyone has these kinds of pictures in their life. Except i'm smiling that's not very goth of me. XP

June 23rd, 2011

The all night grad party we had. I was wearing something more goth at graduation (which you could totally see under my white robe.) but since i was going to be there until 4 am (you literally could not leave until then.) i decided to be comfy. That's one of my friends aren't i attentive?

August 6th, 2011

At a zoo in south carolina with a bird on me head. I wasn't posing though my first reaction was to swat at it then i realized that wasn't a good idea. 

November 18th, 2011

Sitting on my bed at school pretending to be a model. I know this isn't the most recent picture but deal with it.

So there you go. I ended doing another day but i'll just skip over that when i get to it. 

Gyaru out shopping.

Okay maybe shopping is not the right word. Since me and my mom had gone to church this morning and then we stopped at a few antique stores. There wasn't anything else we did throughout the day why not write shopping.

the only good picture i could get of my make up.

 My outfit.

 I actually forgot to take these pictures until we got home so i'm wearing slippers in this picture. Oh well. I was wearing knee high black boots before.

Outfit rundown

Shirt: thrift store

Pants: a gift from my dad

Necklaces (i'm wearing two it's hard to see though.): rue 21

shoes: bass

Tomorrow i have my placement test for my college for this semester even though it's already started. Classes started up on the 20th. I'll be in gyaru as well because i was already seen in lolita there. 

Lolita in the city!

I found this picture from google images but this is the site that the picture linked to.

Hello everyone. On Saturday i got my wonder cookie skirt. If xavier wasn't lost then i would fill this post with how pretty it is. Oh well i'm sure as soon as i buy another one i'll find him. That's always the way it works. So today i decided to dress up and go down to the city. Even if there is not a god damn flake of snow on the ground it was still rather cold out. Not very windy which is good. I missed having layers and layers and layers of clothes on. By bus it takes about an hour to get to there. Which isn't so bad. I brought a good book with me. (The big bad wolf by James Patterson.) I went to a little cafe/bookshop and enjoyed the sights of new construction. The cafe is right across the street from some construction they've been doing forever it's not attractive. I had a lemon coconut scone and a cappuccino. They were delicious. 

I got a few compliments on my skirt even! Oh wonder cookie who can't you impress? I got stopped by three homeless people asking if i had any change. I felt really bad for them because i didn't. I wasn't lying either, i used a bus pass to get down and was using my debit card. I guess that's what you get for dressing elaborately. I didn't stay long i got on the 3:10 bus back home. So maybe it was two hours? Excluding travel time. The bus was packed too. I had a seat until about fifteen or so minutes into the trip, when an old guy on the bus so i stood up for him. The bus was so packed a lot of people had to keep standing when they got on. I didn't get to sit for the rest of the ride. My feet killed by the time i got home. Petticoats aren't good for buses either they take up a super amount of space.

Here are a few tips for traveling in lolita just to make this less boring.

• Know where you're going and what type of place it is. 
• Traveling in daylight is best especially in winter where it dark earlier. If you're not driving you should probably get home before it gets dark. 
• Be courteous on the bus, train, subway, whatever. Hold your petticoat to stop it from overtaking seats.
• Be smart about where you're walking. I stay in the downtown area because that's where i know and i won't get lost.
• Carry something like pepper spray or a small knife for protection. I joke that platform stilettos would always work in a pinch but try to be more prepared then that.
• What's ever in your wallet is much less important then your life. If things get really serious just give them the wallet. You can replace everything that's in there and you'll be happy to have walked away with your life.

So yes while i know that most of these are kind of obvious. It's still important. So don't be an idiot when traveling because i'm pretty sure that you guys aren't. Have fun!

The lonely Goth

Hello everyone. I hope you had a fantastic holiday. I've lived my entire life without ever seeing a real life goth before. My highschool was filled with jocks, preps, 'normal' kids, emos, and me. My town is relatively small and really rich. The neighboring towns are definitely less rich than us. According to the internet there is one goth club in a nearby city. I think it got converted into some other mainstream club though. The Lady of the manners suggests you join a mailing list. I've searched this as well but it doesn't exsist anymore as it was run off geocities. As small as my town is they're rather indifferent. I've gotten many stupid comments and only a few things thrown at me. Most of the time no one says anything.  Alright i'll stop moping and give you some tips on how to survive in such places.

• Plan many picnics in your local cemeteries. 
• Take lots of pictures or rubbings of some favorite gravestones
• Buy (or find) candles place them in your room and sit/read/craft/write by the candlelight
• Get posters of your favorite bands or find pretty pictures put them in frames or hang them up
• Find fabric, or clothes, in a thrift store cut them up and drape them over things
• Get all the books you like sit around and read them.
• Get all your favorite music and blast it (or not i'm not a fan of blasting music.) 
• When halloween comes around go to the stores and buy up all the decorations. Decorate your room/house to your little black hearts content!

I know theres a few cliches in there but i love them. I hope you have a lovely new year and a lovely winter!

Day 27 – One song that fits your favorite lolita style.

She and her darkness by Diary of dreams

I love this song. The dreariness of it makes me feel so quiet. Taken by the perfect piano and the slurry nature of the words. This just makes you listen to the song. Sit in a corner with this song in the dark (or candlelight) and it's just that much more beautiful.

This in my opinion is a perfect gothic lolita song. For dreary stormy days. Winter evenings, or foggy overcast summer days. (These are my favorite types of days fog is so mysterious and misty weather is perfect when it's hot-not muggy-out.) 

Here are the lyrics. I think it's about a breakup, and you know how artistic those songs can get.

My heart weights minimum a ton

An army's feet pounding on my head

Maybe I'll wake up one day to notice

that all my life was just a dream...

And maybe I'll be better off without you

You left me here with all my thoughts

I'd write a zillion words or walk a million miles

I'd sleep on broken glass just not to lose your smiles

I travel for you around the world

Collecting moments, o how absurd

To bring you beauty, to bring you joy

I wish I'd be a little boy

Where is that silence you primised me?

Why is that distance so close to me?

Why is your violence still hurting me?

Why are your eyes avoiding me?

Let me say thank you for all that you have given me.

Thank you for everything you've done.

Forgive me for saying one last thing:

I miss you and I hope you hear this song!

I travel for you around the world

Collecting moments, o how absurd

To bring you beauty, to bring you joy

I wish I'd be a little boy

I'm dying for you, can't you see?

I'm lying for you to be free!

I hunger for you, 'cause I can't eat!

I'd vanish for you in defeat!

Rice to pay for clothes

Hello everyone! A long time ago i found the site free rice. Which is an amazing site and you should all visit it. For every question you get right they donate ten grains of rice to countries which need the food.

So i have put this into terms that i could care about. Take the price of the stuff that i want  multiply it by ten then donate that many grains of rice. So while you still have to pay for the dress someone benefits from the materialism that is lolita.

Or you can do this with anything you want or already bought. I went through my entire bank statement and donated all the rice equal to the amount of money i have spent.

This JSK in wine is my current want. It cost 344 dollars so when you multiply that you have 3,440 grains of rice. Very simple. People get to eat, you get smarter and pretty things. Make sure you disable adblock though so they can pay for the rice.

Have fun!

Day 25 – Your favorite lolita themed artwork.

I actually had to go looking for cute art because i never go looking for it. I had found a cute little 9 part 'Lolita Stereotypes' art. This one is my favorite about lifestyle lolitas.

I like this because i am half a lifestyler. I loved tea way before i ever knew about lolita. I love girly little crafts. I love picnics and gardens pretty flowers. I love antique furniture and candles. Most of which i loved a long time ago but continued to love when i realized they fit well. I love to write letters as well.

The art is just adorable and strangely accurate. If you do meet a non crazy lolita you must tell me. Since all the ct lolis are absolutely insane. That's why they are awesome. But there are most likely the really hardcore lifestylers who freak everyone else out. Which is where i got numbers nine through eleven of my 'how to be a real lolita' post.

Halloween! The most wonderful time of the year! ...Oh wait.

Chandelure by: MayaIdanan on deviantart.

Happy halloween everyone! The best time of the year! Except not really cause i don't like winter. So after my post about alice. I thought up a really cool idea for just walking around (as i have been known to do) or as a cosplay next year.

Cyber Goth Alice Cosplay!

Yeah...It will be awesome. Mostly depending on how much money i have next year or in the next few months.  Since i so don't give you guys enough eye candy here is how i am planning it.

My hair is dark brown so this to cover up my hair.

These colors which i tried to keep with her blonde hair

This dress from anna house

These tights from sock dreams

These combat boots.

While this might be stretching the interpretation of the character a bit far, i still like it. It has the cuteness of lolita with the sexiness of cyber goth. So i'll have to see how things go. I'll probably end up just walking around in this because i can.
