Merry Christmas !!!!

I hope you got a lot of presents !
Today I had a lunch with my family and my korean friend, Namhee.
As usual my mother cooked and at the end of the meal we were completely full !! Lol.
Namhee was even a bit tired because of the glass of alcool she drunk . xDD
Me, I don't drink ^^, I don't really like it.
In France, Christmas meal are reaaaaaally long ! We started at 1:30pm to finish at 3:30pm !!!! @o@

[Champomy it's the one of my favorite things for Christmas lol]

I was spoiled ^^ with lolita presents !!
I'm very lucky, even if my family think that's a bit "strange", they respect me and make me happy . <3
And maybe the better present, to wake me up with this kind of message:
" kisses!!!<3
merry xmas darling!
kiss kiss kiss!
XD
<3 <3"

Lol, It's cute ^///^ *completely in love*

[My Christmas outfit. A mix between EGL and the traditional Vietnamiese clothes , the Ao Dai. Sorry for my bad face u_u I'm really tired]

Well ....I almost finished my bags for Tokyo ...I don't realize for the moment.
It will be the first time I will travel so far alone ! Without my family of friends from France.
Fortunately I will be not lost with my boyfriend who is living there >_<.
I'm a bit anxious...for the airport, I really hate it ! Lol.
I hope to have web in my hotel , to write every day a post .
Because it's the goal ( a part) of this blog.
I hope to write reviews about Gyaru and Lolita places/ shops.

I'm going to finish it now . >_<

Merry Christmas again everyone .

Tokyo D- 8 & Paris under snow

Hiiiiii !!!

Today it's the begining of our holidays !
It's really great because we don't have homeworks.
We finished, or almost ... because we had a lot of problem to print ..., our Fashion Brand project in fashion design and in pattern making I finished the blouse *breath*

All would be perfect if ...after to get girls at school I was not fallen on the back because of ice >_<. I was looking girls to be sure they were safe and me, not careful with myself !! xD I wanted to clean my room tomorrow, because my korean friend , Namhee , comes at home to spend Christmas day with us like she was alone and she can't come back in Korea >_<. I wanted to buy Christmas presents too ...Lol. Well , after a good night it will be better =D. There is a good side ^^ Paris under snow is wonderful. Today , the last day at school was cool . Not pettern making lesson ( hehe) and we has a little lunch all together with an other class. Despite of problems to print, it was great to work only with some people and not all the class , more calm and friendly ^^

Fashion University Vol.6

Before holidays we must make a fashion project.
We choose a brand and we must made a skirt collection as if we were the designer, but with a personnal touch.
I chosen Baby, the Stars Shine Bright and the Geisha and Oiran world because of Obi and kimono prints. * So in love*
I will put the skirt collection later.
I would like to create my own website ...But I'm too busy and deviant art is good enough for the moment ^^.

For the outlines I am inspired by the kira imai designs. I really love the drawings for Angelic Pretty.

There is a lot of mistakes for the moment >_<, but I will work hard to be better in the future.

If you've any advices, please tell me ^^

Week-End

I'm cleaning my room before Christmas, because I think during the first part of my Christmas Holidays I will finish to organize my stay and to do my homeworks ( I'm sure , teachers will give us a lot of for christmas ...as present).

I thrown a lot of exercices-books,test, lessons etc , now I've a lot of space in my lil' room lol.
I will can buy more books ! *o*

During my storage I found it:

[ To Flora , Happy birthday]

[All our condolences, it was maybe someone of your family.]

A letter sent almost, 5 years ago now for the Flora's day !!( in France each day has a name, Feb 4th: Sainte Véronique, May 28th : saint Germain etc etc)
Inside I found a can of tuna! xDD
Why ?
Because this "pretty" present were from some silly guys who loved to bother and make fun out of me.
In the french language tuna is " Thon" and a "thon" it's the fish but it's a ugly person too. For them I was the " ugly gothic"... =P
They were very stupid lol , I decided to give the tuna to the cat, he was very happy with it ! xDDDDDDDDDD

Well...This afternoon I take photos of my wa-lolita ouftit I wore for the Tokyo Decadance.

There are a lot of mistakes lol , I need to make my next outfit better.
But I love it a lot , I spend one week to make it ... xD

Fashion University Vol.5

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!

Today we had pattern making lesson ( 5 hours ....), at this time we are making a flared skirt, and my flare is too big so my box pleats are too straights..." You will make me again your pattern construction =D" Of course YouWen ...I have nothing to do at home -_-""".

Well , I think my mistake is from the first pattern anyway >_<.
We've a lot of work in fashion design too and in marketing and we have the hat contest for the November 25th ...that's why I would like to avoid to re-make something.

About pattern drafting , during the last Tokyo Decadance ( I will writte something about it but later ^^, when I will be less busy with life xD) a free lance photographer asked me:
" Have you made your outfit yourself ?"
" Yes ^^"
" So beautiful , so you're fashion designer ?!"
and a friend who was with me
"yes she is !"
....Yes but NO !! lol

Yes I draw the model myself , yes I made the outfit myself, but I used patterns ever made ! After of course , I re-draw, re-cut, re-seize , etc the petterns to adapt it for my model.
But to me, a real fashion designer must be able to draw itself his own patterns for his own ideas and creations.
Just draw a model it's not enough ... Famous and good fashion designers are able to make a pattern even if now they can only draw models x)

That's why , pattern making lessons bother me a lot, it's no easy, but after I will able to draw myself my own patterns, I will can abandon Gosu Lolita, Gothic & Lolita bible and Burda patterns =DDD !!!

Fashion School Vol.4 and other.

I'm in holidays !!! So good !

But unfortunately not rest lool.
We've a lot of homeworks, I'm late in my japanese lessons and my outfit for the 31th is not finish ...

Well ...A little resume about this first part in the fashion university:
After a begining a bit ...hard, I'm feel better , not esay everyday with the job after school but not impossible.
In fashion design we made a first lil' project : with a paint we must create an outfit which is like the paint, we must feel the same emotion.
I chose, La Rosa Meditativa (The meditative rose) a paint of Salvador Dalì, I love his work a lot, one of my favorite painter. I hope my work is good enough for the professsor ...

In pattern-making we finished the straight skirt !
We learnt to make it since "A to Z" ( I don't know if it's the good expression in english lool) , draw, pattern, denim, assembly, sewing .
To assemble and to sew , was esay to me (even if I did some mistakes lol), what was really new, it was to make the pattern ....I really hate it !! Even when I sew for myself , with patters ever made...I hate to cut pattern and fabric. lol.

We had others lessons like " textile" or english ...Not really interesting for the moment ^^.

***

Yesterday and today with a friend, we went to the Burlesque Festival.
It was great !! ^o^V
Before we went to a bar to drink a coca ( not alcool of course !! We are good and wise gals lol) and the server " well gals !? You're working ? =) " .... LOOL !!

Well ...We are luxury whores so .... XDDDDD

But the lil' shows were not vulgar at all, very chic and funny for some. So burlesque <3>

At the begining my friend and I wanted to see Dita Von Teese but ... a bit expensive ...I need to save money to do shopping in Tokyo and for my boyfriend's christmas present.

After we decided to go the the Opéra de Paris, it was cool , we took some pictures . I realy love Paris, so much beautiful places and museums! I love to be in Paris and to say "Well , now why don't we go to a museum ?" It's so easy and pleasant.

I will try to write a bit more during these holidays because , to write a novel on each post it's not very good for readers , too much ...Especially for my writings which are not interesting XD

Duplica_Chan Meeting and Drama

I know I'm late for that but at this time between university and my wa-lolita outfit for the Tokyo decadance the October 31th I'm busy and , I admit, it's harder to me to write in english , I'm a bit lazy to write in english too lol.

So , Duplica_Chan meeting in Versailles !!!
Beatiful day with good weather. I was happy to meet her , it's a kind girl.
It was the "Journée du patrimoine" ( Heritage Day), and this day in France all museum are free and here in Versailles there was some people dressed up like in Rococo century or Empire and were playing little scenes of theater.

We spent a good moment with other lolitas. I'm always surprised about people: " beutiful costume !" or " It's for which occasion ? It's your style ?" xDDD

But this day, we only had good comments , and some " Continue like that , you are adorables" =p.

Click here for pictures

I think there are yet a lot of people who are not really open-mind...Anyway it's the life ^^ I don't really care lol.

I'm fell good and myself with this style, It's the most important and I'm proud.
To be excentric is a choice and if you don't assume , don't wear. ^^

***

I just finished to watch a japanese drama : Jotei (女帝) [Imperatrice]
It's about a young girl who lost her mother. After some problems with powerful men , she decides to become an Empress in the hostesses world.
Thank the help of some clients , her best friend Miki , the differents "Mama" of host clubs ( a Mama in a host club is the manager) and her love Naoto, she will climb the steps of success. Of course like in any world where there are power, money, success, ambition, hypocrisy and anything which make of our world a bad world sometimes, this way will be hard.

This drama is a good life lesson to me , despite of treachery, Ayaka will across tests, the head high, for her goal, her dream ,to be the Empress of Ginza, the place by excellence of the host clubs.
Never abandon.

And I like this drama, because , except the fact that the night world fascinate me, actors play more like western actors. It's not like in Kimi wa Petto or My boss My hero, maybe because it's not really for teenager or romantic gal lol.

[If you want to watch]

(Only in japanese with french subtitles sorry ^^)

Fashion School vol.3

Week-end !!!! And 2 weeks before holidays. I really need rest,
but I doubt that professors will let us without homeworks during vacations. *sigh*

***

In modelism we progressed on our skirt...I really hate patterns ...Even when at the begining when I was 10 y/o and I started to sew for myself >"<

Well ...We will finish the skirt " straight-narrow" before halloween holidays.

Stylism: We will start the fashion figure, and to continue our color project , to choose a picture, colors,figure, clothes ....I like that ^^.

Our last lesson on fashion culture was very interesting, we started with prehistory and the first symbols which represent the woman and man in the socity and fashion world.

For the UNICEF project "frimousse" my doll is almost finished ^o^V

Kimono and hair are ok , I just need to embroider mouth and eyes.

Holidays soon soon ....<3>

***

I said I will speak about pupils in my class and especially strangers , because it's the most interesting .

There is Chloé from Switzerland very kind ^^ , she has a good french !

After we have Namhee !! She is Korean , very cute ! It's very funny sometimes she doesn't understand french but she answers "yes" xDDDDD!

We laugh a lot and we exchange k-rock or k-pop, or japanese music.

It's great to speak with somebody who know it and korean drama too like GOONG.

A very good drama, I recommend you it.

The "princess" is veryyyyyyyyy funny ! I love her so much !! I like her expression.

[GOONG cast]

It's the same with Xiao Xu, she is chinese, and we speak about chinese music, she sends me some songs , I really love .

[Jay Chou, one of my favorite chinese singer ]

The strangers in our class are really couragous . I hope to find the same courage to spent one year in ESMOD Tokyo ... But, maybe after my trip in december , I will change my opinion , and I will choose an other country ... I dunno for the moment.
That's why I continue,myself , my japanese lesson. I try to have a regular rythm. For the moment I'm not late .

***

I would like to introduce Sewina ....my bust ! xD
I wanted a bust since a looooooong time ! It will be easier now to sew 'o' * Fululu in love*

Hmmm...I'm sad ... I would like continue my lil' comic with Baby Fululu and Koala ...but not time TAT. I miss philosophy lessons ...It was great to have ideas and to draw lol.

[ Koala & Baby Fululu Afventures *Next Generation* ]

About Tokyo , I spoke with a friend japanese who is drag queen, he proposed me to go to a party for the new year ! I would like a lot, I will speak about it to my australian friend who live in tokyo and who will be my " chaperon" . XDDDD

あいうえお~かきくけこ~さしすせそ~ To be continued....

Fashion School vol.2

Ahhhh!!
I'm really sorry, at this time we have a lot of work between our 2 profesionnal shoppings .

What is a profesionnal shopping ?
We must go to shops, to choose some clothes , to detail clothes ( price, model, quality, composing, etc.)and detail the shop (Music, kind of customers, salers, design, etc.)
It's funny at the begining but after 3 shops ...You're tired. Lol.
And , of course, after , we must write a report !
Sometimes I'm wonder, if literature essays were not more fun ?!

Till now, I ever prefered to do my shopping in "real" shops, not a lot on online shops on web, even for gothic and gothic lolita clothes.
But henceforth... I hesitate ! lol.

Tomorrow, we will have " naked drawing lesson" with ...a man . u_u
Last time it was hard with the woman model, body is hard to draw!
But draw a male body ... T_T
I prefer female body, more graceful and sweet.
Male body is ugly ...to draw! lol

About personal news, I started my wa-lolita (和ロリタ) outfit.
Only Obi (帯) is finished. I made it very long, 4m50 ! I can have a very big ribbon almost like Oirans　(花魁) =P.
I would like have more time to made it and I hope my ourfit will don't look too cosplay.
It's one of difficulty with Wa-lolita style ... Depends of fabrics and model ....we can to look like a cosplay if we're not careful.

[Wa-style ...Not lolita , Gyaru <3 More inspired by Oiran I think]

About my japan trip, not more news...I'm just impatient. D-88 ! ( Still long I know)

Next time I will write something about people in my class it's very fun, I really must do it lol.

Fashion School vol.1

Second day in ESMOD.
It was better . We started modelism with our professor ( who is chinese ^^).
It's great , there are a part of pupils who are chinese ( and one korean ).
I'm admiring, some are in France since , only, one month !!!
Far of their families, new country, new language ( and french is hard) news studies and not easy at all ....They are courageous .
Fortunately our professor speaks chinese.

The first part of the morning we have learnt how to put the tape ( Bolduc) on the mannequin (bust) in the middle ,straight, etc...
　
After, stylism and homeworks ! A lot .
A concours for UNICEF , a project to introduce itself, and a book product (men and women).
I need more magazines about men fashion ! For the moment I'm happy with my first 2 magazines about men fashion....Very interesting, for the fashion OFCOS !

I was impatient to back at home, but need go to get girls at school.
This evening I'm very tired !
But not rest this week , between baby sitting again and Lolita Meeting.
I won't have rest before October holidays I think ! Fortunately is ...Oh gosh! Not so soon . Lol
I went to Junkudo, and I bought the Kera Maniax vol.13. I'm there ! *o*

I wanted the Kera of October but sold out . >_<
By the way, I will find it later.

Some news.

Well, well, well...I didn't written since a moment,I was very busy !

I found a regular baby-sitting job after my school, failing that a job in a shop or an other thing like that.

I'm happy because thus, I've my weekends , a part of my afternoon (for homeworks and japanese lessons >_<) my holidays and I will can continue my baby-sittings the evening. *o*

I'm lucky , girls that I keep are adorables .

Fortunately ! Because , it's a bit exhausting. xP

Currently, I work for 6 families and in total : 15 children ! <3

***

Tomorrow ...My first day in my new school. >_<

Baby Fululu is anxious . She is afraid about new people ! lol

But it's okay, I chose these fashion studies and I'm curious.

I will learn different ways and technical to create something good, it will be better for my gothic lolita and gothic items that I already make.

I hope to make more and to sell it after.

I would love made more custom-made , I like draw model based on the idea of somebody.
I hope to make more and to sell it after.

I would love to make more custom-made , I like to draw model based on the idea of somebody . I'm happy to make smile the other with an original model creates with her/his idea and for her/ him.

At the begining I started to sew my own Gothic clothes because it was not really what I was searching and not cheap, after for the Gothic lolita style because ...Too expensive! "lol"

Gal-Lolita [ギャル~ゴスロリ]

***

Sunday, with other lolitas we will go to Versailles for a meeting with Duplica, it will be fun ^^.I will post photos.

***

A last thing:
I went on the blog of "La Cour de Versailles" on Myspace, and I lingered on a message from the family of the deceased Jasmine You.
Here some of his words that I find very beautiful.

"No matter the distance that separates us from each other, the sky continues without time limit during moments heartbreaking, those which are emotionally difficult or sad and even during those which are good I am always with you"

[Blog Here]

EGL Photoshoot

Well , today with my brother I did a photoshoot ^^

You can see some photos on EGL Community or on Myspace or Facebook

There are more photos ...Silly pictures xDD

Enjoy and thanks for looking =)

Library ...

Flying reserved and stay payed ...all is ok.

So now, I need to organize and prepare everything.

Places, cafes, restaurants, museums, shops where I would like to go; wish list, etc ...
I've a lot of guides about Japan and especially about Tokyo...I've 127days to read,
and take notes lol.
I will succeed .è_é

In 4 years I bought many books about asia >_<.

1: My books about Asia , guides, maps and to learn the languages ( korean, chinese, vietnamiese, japanese.); Japanese novels or about Japan, DVDs and my agendas xDDD

2: Precious japanese mag's, because in France it's very exepensive @o@, 25€ ($36usd or 3342yens !!) for a Gothic & Lolita Bible at Junkudo .
I love Planète Japon( Japan planet) a french magazine about japan ( politic culture fashion ...) very interesting and usual.
POSHH!! and EGG...not so bad but I prefer Ageah and Popteen, more for hime-gals and kyabajos ( Hostesses). <3
Of course ! Gothic & Lolita Bible , japanese and english version =D
Gosu rori better than G&LB for the sewing, easier to understand patterns.

Gothic and lolita punk...So so, like Kera , it's not my favorites.

Nail max.... a real dream !! There are a lot of fabulous models for nails!

And Visual Kei mag's !! I stopped to buy it because ...

There are same things free on the web lool. I buy only when there is my favorite groups.
My favorite is Cure, beautiful pictures. Fool's mate not so bad too ...

Arf ...Only a part of my library ...I love books ... I dream to have the same library like Belle in " Beauty ans the Beast" by Disney <3.

School coming back D-30　日本 D-129

I went to the Sacré Coeur (Montmartre) to buy lace ...at the end : 46€ ! ( $65 usd).
Ok lace is beautiful ...But even .
Now I will stop shopping to save money if I want to back from Japan with something good .

Yes it's sure now, I go to Tokyo in decembre ! I will stay 5 days in Ikebukuro.

Why I want to go there ?! o_O

A lot of lolita or french gyaru want to go to Japan (especially Harajuku for lolita and Shibuya for gals) because it's so " cool!" , so " in" , so " fashion"!!! And japaneses are so "kawaii" , Japan is so " sugoiiiii"...HEMM !! xD
Japan is not so perfect x) it's a country like an other, with beautiful and bad sides ^^.

For my part I want to see if I will can "survive" one year in Tokyo during my last year in ESMOD. I will work better my japanese lool , because alone ... one year ...OMG ! lol

I want to do shopping too ! To buy a keitai ( cell phone) , kimono, kansashi ( flowers in the geiko and maiko hairstyle) a DSI xD, art nail , a tokko fuku ( coat of japanese gang like yankee girls , you can see it in the Kamikaze girl (下妻物語 [Shimotsuma Monogatari] ) movie) a lot of magazines of gyaru and lolita , purikura ,visual kei and Takarazuka CDs, host club....oh not ...too expensive actually >.<

*Jesus Diamante shop~ Jesus Diamante shop~ !!! ♪♫ lol*

I'm very impatient =^_^=

D-129 ~<3

For my travel I made a nightgown , but I am not really satisfied .
I made it in XS size ....and even with it I look like a bag !
I hate american sizes u_u.
So I will re-make it like on the picture lol.

Today I just realized that ...the september, 17th is soon ...I'm anxious !Fortunately I will go to the school with my Juju >_<. Children grow up too fast x)

D-30

Paris tu nous ouvres ton coeur ....♪♫ et tes drageurs...( c'est moins glam' déjà)

Good day today !!! =3
I spent the afternoon and a part of the night with Justine in Paris.
(Fululu Mom loves her Juju ...We have spent a lot of time together since 2 years at school ... good and bad moments lol)
After going to the travel agency for my journey in Japan ( I've the dates ...but it's not sure for the hotel ...That's why I'm impatient >_<) and the japanese book shop Junkudo ( Popteen and Aghea *o* ...I know somebody who will be desperate ...again ! lol), we went on the Seine's banks . Good place to read , speak or dream xD

Ahahah Kamihana is narssisic =3

Fululu loves play ^o^

But ,agree, it's normal that men watch a girl like hungry dogs?
To be so disrespectful to say " Hey Miss ! You're cute, good!" and to whistle her .
Women are not an object !
It's our freedom to wear clothes we like !
It's not because a girl wear short skirt or gothic lolita dress that means " rape me".
