I was a Melty Melodies Model!

Yesterday, I went to model for Melty Melodies, a Japanese Fairy Kei/Decora store, at a local anime/J-Pop event here in town.

The other models there were really nice, and Dolldelight's line was there too!  It was really cool to see the different kinds of outfits and accessories for each girl, and everyone was pretty!

It was a cool experience for a first-timer like me, and I had tons of fun with the models!

While the weather was warm, it didn't stop us from enjoying the fashion show.  We were all very nervous but we girls really supported each other ; u ; I was so moved when I received such support!

I am modeling the Chocolate Princess dress that'll be added to the Melty
Melodies' online store soon!  Photo credit to Aoi.

Please check out Melty Melodies if you love Japanese fairy-kei/decora fashion~

Circle Lens Review: EOS New Adult Green Circle Lens

Hello~~

Recently, I stumbled across a circle lens site called loveshoppingholics.   I saw the wide range of colors they had--and I really liked them, so I ordered a pair of EOS New Adult Green Circle Lens from the site and when they arrived, I was so excited!  I then went to try them on, and the bright green color really showed in my eyes!  They were just so beautiful--and unlike a pair of circle lens I tried in the past--they were so comfortable to wear also!  When I posted pictures of myself wearing them for the first time--I've already had a friend wondering where she can get them--and I recommended her the same pair that I ordered!

I'm careful when buying circle lens because some circle lens can't show color on dark eyes--but loveshoppingholics' did--and that made me a super happy customer!

I highly recommend anyone who's looking for circle lens showing in dark eyes--to try loveshoppingholics!

Love,

Hello Again!

Recently, Aoi and I went to attend this past Fall/Winter NorCal Gathering as casual Allen Walker and Lena Lee from "D Gray Man"~

Ever since then, we have been re-marathoning the old anime series--partly because we plan on cosplaying from it for a future upcoming anime/cosplay event!

Con Report: SacAnime Summer 2015

Guess what, readers?

Aoi and I are now engaged!  My boyfriend proposed to me at the rose garden near the convention center of downtown Sacramento.

We were cosplaying Wedding Asuna & Kirito from Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragments (the video game).

Aoi had gathered many of our friends together for this surprise special event in the rose garden, and another close friend of ours led me there almost blindly.  A lot of people took pictures/recorded the event and so, when there are more pictures, I'll be spamming this blog with them c:

SacAnime 2015 was really fun for me this year!  I had the best roommates and there was little to no drama at all c: The only sad thing is that I didn't get to explore the convention center this time because I was 'ghosting' the con with my boyfriend, but what mattered to me even more is simply seeing familiar faces and friends whom I haven't seen for months because, well, cosplayers tend to make friends who live miles and miles apart from each other.

Many con-goers were really nice!  I noticed that there was a large number of Steven Universe cosplayers as well as Love Live!

The only down-sides were, well, the food places were really full of con-goers and there were lines going down the sidewalks for the closest places.  Either that or they run out of specific food items--but I understand that things just happen.  The weather was also much, much warmer than I had thought when I was wearing the dress with my Kirito, and so, that caused us to change out sooner than expected, unfortunately.  

Other that, overall, our con experience was drama-free and really relaxing! Definitely coming back for SacWinter next year!

Love,

Cosplay WIP: SAO - Hollow Fragments Cosplay

Last night, I worked on my Wedding Asuna cosplay--adding some pretty flowers to it!

Right now, all I have to do is dye some lace and add them to the dress--add some champagne/nude lace to the choker and hair clip--and decorate the extra long gloves.  So, I'm at about 95% done overall~

A Champagne Black-Laced Skirt

I made a champagne skirt last night with leftover champagne fabric and lots of leftover black laces from old cosplays that I retired from.

Everything was made on a whim, and in the end, I am actually more pleased with it than with my other original creations.

I can't wait to wear it when I go out one of these upcoming days.

Love,

Yoko~~
