For once, a non-nemu*nemu-related post!
Ee! Couldn't resist! Sorry!
I think these past couple years has been all about expanding horizons. I'm learning more and more about this mysterious bpal culture that's been invading my friends list for months and growing to accept all things Gothic Lolita (although I still feel kinda old and manly to fit into a frilly dress that won't close across my shoulders. ^_^;)
I'm already waist-deep in dolls, gashapon, pinky:st figures, manga... but I'm interested in learning about other cool stuff! I like to think I'm an inherently curious person.
TV shows, fashion, make up, LIP BALM (anyone?), places to visit, stuff to try, things to cook, books to read, movies to rent?
Anything? Anyone?
... and possibly Why?
I think you would really match aristocrat brands like Atelier Boz~!
I just wish Hawaii wasn't so hot.. T_T;;
Also! The reminds me~ I sent out your check this morning! It should arrive in time for you to just cash it~ Payday is evil with a lag. :\
god yeah. . . . even at the con wearing lolita was hell;;;;I'm still waiting for that *just right* bag for me~! In the meanwhile, I'm sitting pretty with my shirts and Moofia gang toys~ ^___^
Unfortunately I found very many perfect bags, now I am poor lol. I love my Moofia and Cactus Friends toys, and my sweatshirts X)
I always
forcerecommend people to read Pratchett's Discworld series or any Gaiman books if they haven't caught up. That would be a good use of time, I think. Hmm, have you tried printmaking? That and sculpting seems like (expensive) fun to me, from what little I've done in art class. I also like the idea of making books.I would LOVE to try some book binding! It's something I've always admired, but never really ventured into trying it out for myself.
And printmaking was one of my favorite classes in high school! I'd love to take it up again. :D
Also, JSKs can be worn without a blouse underneath if you're concerned about your shoulders (like me). I also am hesitant to wear blouses and especially cutsews with sleeves because they seem to stretch the shoulders out more, but if you shop carefully you can find some really flattering things. ;3
Wow, I know absolutely nothing about Gothic Lolita, even though I used to be a big fan of it. I frequented the Metamorphose website often and dreamt of wearing their clothes. Sadly, I'm always broke. ¦( ...And I doubt it would be looked upon kindly in Alabama. lol
Things to do: why not look locally? Like, Haunted Hawaii? Try to find sacred sites, check out haunted places, etc. I'd -love- to do that someday! Maybe you can find the haunted cave where Greg Brady found the cursed Tiki!
