FUN times!
So we went to PMX, it was eventful and boring all at the same time. The loli events were amazing but that was really all there was to do.
Day one (friday), we arrived at 9:30 am and were second in line for the boutique. got our badges at 11, and went in at 12! In line we met a lolita and her boyfriend we had met at the beach event. She is really amazing and hope we get to see them again soon!
s
here she is looking adorable in baby and an IW blouse, showing support for both sides!
another early bird (arrived a little after us) turns out she was actually there to model for AATP! She left after a bit once the shop girls arrived.
So it was just us again, out of boredom she started showing us how she makes her boyfriends GIjoes do ballet poses. It was amazing! the most fun idle time we had while at PMX. I wish I remembered her name :( it kills me that I don't.
After a while lacey_dolly arrived along with okanmuri and they joined us line. by this time it was pretty long, but no one really noticed them sliding in. So many people were popping in and out to get badges and coffee that it really didn't matter. Here is a really saturated shoe shot. the picture was really dark, and it couldn't be fixed properly.
IW world pannel. The designer was so sweet and friendly. Very approachable regardless of her age. Not that ge matters but I had heard she was older and thought she might not be as excited about lolita anymore. Boy was I wrong! I felt like we wer good friends after the pannel was over. She answered each question very honestly, to the point of even being funny in how direct she was. She also announced that innocent world would soon have a french website option along with the english one.
AATP designer. She was beautiful and coordinated perfectly. I was surprised that although she was so young, she seemed a lot more reserved. Not nearly as open and approachable as IW. She answered each question briefly and didn't go in depth. Many people were not asking questions. Perhaps it was because of this, or maybe not. I felt bad that no one asked questions, I must have asked at least 10. some borderline stupid, but I could not for the life of me let her just sit there and be stared at. The MC was asking stupid questions too and after a while the crowd got upset. I wasn't. I felt bad for the guy, he didn't know very much on the subject and was basically shooting in the dark so the pannel wouldn't go dead. Few were helping, but everyone was complaining. Oh America
After it was over,ohdandyboy wanted to see the translators notes. (he is weird like that) and lo and behold she came out form the behind the curtain! I asked if i could have a picture of her, and to my surprise she stood next to me. She loved my hat and snuggled it with her hands saying "kawaii" i said thank you, but before I walked of she said thank you back. I looked at her and she looked kind of sad, maybe she noticed that I was the question girl? I hope not, I hope she thinks everyone loved her and was as happy to see her as I was.
We sat around and did nothing for a while. ohdandyboy adjusting his camera took a random picture of me. I'm making a stupid face but I like the set up of the picture. Maybe I will try to duplicate it making a normal face. We went to artist alley but not much was set up yet, then went to the lolita swap meet! it was hot and cramped but really fun. We then went to the regular swap meet, while okanmuri went to see Lemon Drop Kick. We labored long and didn't make much, but we had fun showcasing our selling skills! (pictures to come as they are on other camera)
not much after that so we headed home.
This day I got
From Swap:
AATP asym. skirt 70$
From fashion Boutique:
IW bow. 30$ Long sleeve summer blouse with neck ribbon 170$
baby lucky pack 35$!!!! i got a rose bonnet, stationary, socks, and a handkerchief thing (more pictures at bottom)
Also a coat from BABY! it look depressing on the hanger, but the shop girl convinced me to try it on, I fell in love 230$
It was really sad that there was barely any AATP, ohdandyboy was very disappointed, he was ready to spend.
