Sometimes I yell at Leeds because it doesn’t want to give me sourdough bread and it has the most bipolar weather moodswings in the whole world… but then days like this happen and there’s so much love! SO MUCH!
no words for my Slam Dunk adventure yet… but the only tiny little regret of not showing up earlier but I was having a really weird saturday mornings like those sometimes happen to me and I wake up perfectly on time and then 10 rolls around and then 11 and then 12 and suddenly it’s three and OH SNAP. Oh well! Still so many adventures!
WAHAHAHAHAHA KITTY BENNET IS A KITTY XDDDD

BUT IT ISN’T.
OKAY??!!

Anonymous asked: 3, 14, 33
3: What if I told you that you are my Lolita inspiration?
Sweet sweet Anon!!! You’re making me blush!! ♥（ﾉ´∀`）
I would say “Thank you” and blush and give you a compliment because I’m sure you are a lovely lolita with nice qualities and if someone gives me a compliment I say thanks and usually return it or say some more thanks.
14: Do you still own your first Lolita piece?
Yes! I rarely sell things. In fact, I’ve sold only a couple of Lolita things over all the years. My first Lolita pieces were a] the first stuff I bought was ita stuff from Camden and b] my first stuff I handmade [handsewing, oh Davey] and c] my first brand was Baby’s Alice Halloween/Trick or Treat JSK. And I still own all of these things! Even if I tried remaking the ita dress into something else, I actually wore it to Zombie Prom last year, haha.
33: Do you have a color preference when it comes to Lolita?
Yes, although it often depends on the print. [My friends and I often discuss which colourways we like best and why, I’m not the “buy only X colour” type.] Overall, I think my colour preferences go in this order:
Mint > Sax > Lavender > Yellow > Black or White > Bordeau/Navy/Brown > Pink
Mint and Lavender are my favourite colours in general and with prints in Mint I pretty much always like the Mint colourway [unless it’s too weird, like Chess Chocolate, no thanks]. But like I said it depends on the print! Sometimes I just can’t pick which I like better and I’m a print hoarder just so I can have colour options (⊙︿⊙✿)
I have a weak spot for Sax and it’s often really well done, so this ranks high and can sometimes beat Mint. The only reason Lavender ranks below is because in AP sometimes Lavender looks too much like Pink and I hate Pink!!
If a piece exists in Black or White I sometimes prefer White over Black, sometimes Black over White, it depends on the print but they kind of go together in my mind. There is a case where I definitely prefer White over Black and it’s Milky Berry but with prints with practically no other colours [or just one other colour] in them, like Melody Doll, I like both equally!
I mention the darker more ‘Classic’ colours because I do really love Bordeau better just because I think it suits me better for some reason? But I also love Navy and Brown things. Dark Green would fall under this, too.
No idea why I Capitalised all the Colours but There You Go.
love to youuuuu!! (๑・ω-)～♥”
annsoapples asked: 7 and 26 my twin-twin face! <3
7: First lucky pack, lucky or unlucky?
Ooooh! My first and only lucky pack, I believe. It was pretty unlucky! All the jewelry was pink, the bloomers have itchy lace and the only thing I really liked were the socks I got! (⊙﹏⊙✿) I was so jelly of the jewelry you got haha.
I traded my dress for the other one with cherries on, so it was okay, but then that sort of got damaged and I haven’t repaired it because I’m lazy. But it’s kind of cute? Just has a weird construction, it’s like a cutsew top with a skirt sewn on, hahahaha.
26: Kuro or Shiro?
TOUGH! But I’m gonna say Shiro because Kuro is too close to being ~Gothic~ and even though I own a LOT of black clothing and am quite a bit of a goth, I like mixing things up so my black outfits end up being not completely black most of the time. For some reason I think there’s a sort of magic in Shiro~ and my FB picture is all white too so yaaaaayyy to all white. I’d like to twin that with you some day ♡
♡ ♡ ♡ hearts for you my darling! ♡ ♡ ♡
fishisnotagirlsname asked: Hi, 16 and 19?
Hi hi! ♡
16: Have you ever gotten a dream dress only to be disappointed in it?
In fact, I have. Purely because the way it’s constructed… It’s Baby’s Mother Goose JSK. I have the skirts and they are perfect. But you know I have the tiniest bust in the world, and it doesn’t do me favours when I wear JSKs. So this particular style has lacing in the front http://hellolace.net/wardrobe/baby-the-stars-shine-bright/type/jsk/item/95/ but what happens is that the panel behind the lacing is too wide for my tiny bust and so if I lace it up [even if I don’t lace it tightly at all], it scrunches up in an ugly way and not only that, it sags. It ‘falls down’ U_U and the lace that’s supposed to peek out above the top ribbon is just flopping below it and not sticking up [because it’s lace…] and I’m just shaking my fist at Baby for making it this way, and hoping, hoping one day I can find the other style JSK. Oh and this doesn’t only happen to Mother Goose either, it happens to my Wizard of Oz JSKs as well… so I don’t wear any of these as often as I’d like to. (;*△*;)
19: Did your last kiss take place while wearing Lolita?
Awwww nope, it was a “through the security gate of the door” goodbye kiss and I was not wearing Lolita because I’m in the middle of exams and I was studying… I’ll make up for it (^_−)☆ I’ll wear Lolita tomorrow when we get to see each other again haha.
saltje asked: hehe :) just for fun... from your list: 6, 44 and 50 greetz Saltje <3
Hallooooo!!! ♡
6: How many petticoats do you own?
Well, let me count them:
The short black one which was my first one, the long black one which is A-line and more “goth”, the cream one that I made myself which is thick and heavy and the only not tulle one, the white ‘hoopskirt’ petti-layer that goes over my F+F hoops, a really short black one [bought] and a shorter white one [self-made] <- those are the ones I wear very rarely because they’re either specific, old, or itchy XD
I own a rainbow of Bodyline pettis too, now, so that’s yellow, light green, aqua, blue, purple, and another blue one with bows… I wear those the most cause I like how they add more sweet to my outfits even if nobody sees them.
All in all, I own twelve petticoats ^_____^
44: What’s the silliest thing you’ve done in Lolita?
One super silly thing I did was dance around the Sephora entrance on the Champs Elysées with Lunie and Annso… that was kind of surreal. They asked us to do it; we were quite confused.
I’ve climbed trees in Lolita [for photos] and posed with a ‘living statue’ [also for photos].
Other silly things I’ve done are going to live punk rock shows and the crowds/pit, and getting on rollercoasters with rocking horse shoes. Maybe not necessarily ‘silly’ but a bit risky. Also, dancing in clubs comes to mind! Not because it’s that silly to dance in nice dresses, but because we all look a little bit silly ^_^
When we had our fandom meet [ha Annso, similar answer] I made a unicorn-pony outfit and went out on the street with a horn on my head. That felt a little bit silly but also a lot of fun!
50: Do you think you will wear Lolita into old age?
Yep! The sad part of this answer is I don’t think I’ll grow very old so I’m not considering ‘80’ as old age, but ‘30-40’ and wearing Lolita then will be easy!
The other part of this answer is, I don’t think I will ever leave Lolita behind. I love it so much! I thought about it the other day and I might tone down the Sweet [or not, who knows, *shakes fist like a rebel*] and turn to Classic or Gothic styles more, and I’d love to wear things like Otome. On the other hand, I’m getting more and more inspired by vintage and anything pre-60s [so 20-50s] and I would love to be a proper Rockabilly vixen housewife. The good news is that AP is releasing tons of retro pieces which would be great for this!
Also, I have many pieces I love! How could I ever leave my babies?! I need to wear them and I don’t care how old I am!

“Langzamerhand wordt verzinsel fictie en uiteindelijk ook waarheid.”
Is dus niet waar, hè. Dikke doei. Mijn hoofd heeft ontelbaar veel rondjes zitten draaien maar nu is het verleden tijd met die self-fulfilling prophecies.
Dat de wereld het maar weet. Je kunt je verzinsels ook gewoon verzinsels laten.
woorden woorden woorden
Woorden zijn krachtig, prachtig, machtig mooi.
Hard en koel en koud en nieuw en eeuwenoud.
Woorden kunnen verzachten, verwarmen, verhullen.
Kunnen steken en raken waar geen kogels komen kunnen.
Woorden kunnen vertellen wat beelden proberen te vertonen.
Woorden kunnen versieren en vasthouden, in korte en lange verhalen,
maar kunnen je in de steek laten als je je gedachten probeert te vertalen.
“Jij bent goed met woorden,” zegt ze, en dat is een mooi compliment maar een verraderlijke zin. “Nee,” denk ik, “ik ben niet goed met woorden want ik vecht dagelijks met ze, hoe hard ik ook probeer, ik zal ze nooit volledig in mijn macht hebben. En daarom, daarom zal ik mij nooit goed voelen met woorden.”
Het is moeilijk, te denken in één taal wanneer je met minstens twee bent opgegroeid. En wat is dat dan, taal? En wat moet je daarmee? De taal die je leerde toen je twee was, is niet de taal die je gebruikte toen je twaalf was, en is ook niet de taal die je nu gebruikt. Als er zoiets is als standaardtaal, dan verandert die zelfs continu.
Dus wat moet een mens dan? Een mens denkt in zijn eigen taal.
Het is mij altijd goed gelukt om mijn eigen mythologie te creëren en evolueren. Een verzinsel rond mijn eigen zijn, voorzichtig verzameld uit stukken tekst en grote lappen levenservaring. Langzamerhand wordt verzinsel fictie en uiteindelijk ook waarheid. Maar is het waar omdat ik denk? Of denk ik, omdat het waar is? Wat is waarheid?
Bij een mythologie hoort, natuurlijk, een taal.
Al dat je geeft, is al dat ik krijg.
- November 2011 [randomly just found it again. Think I must have started this in yet another NaNo attempt. ah.]
Originally started with a sentence going
“I hope your new friends don’t find out what a liar and a hypocrite you are.”
Well. Then. Not going to build on this further. Kind of funny how it started in English and full of anger and then transformed into thoughts on language, truth and the self. I don’t know much more about truth or the self but I know a little bit more about language now. Still not quite sure about words. About what to say. And when.
Je maakt toch je eigen toekomst, of je nu in persoonlijke mythologie gelooft of niet. Dat heb ik dan wel geleerd. Niemand anders hecht daar waarde aan, enkel ikzelf. Is niet erg, maar hierna heb ik er wel steeds minder waarde aan leren hechten [which is a good thing] [but it cost me quite a bit].
Ik ben zelf ook een liar en ook een hypocrite. Gister dacht ik nog vaag “what if” maar zelfs dat is een vage echo, alleen maar omdat ik boos was op hem. Maar er is heel wat van mijn schouders gevallen sinds November 2011, dat kan ik de wereld wel vertellen. Ik ben een stuk gelukkiger, nu. The only way out is through, and the only way is up.
