Some news

I'm just come back from London and we have a lot of work at school , so not time to write

a live repport for the moment but I hope to do it this week-end !

Lolita World + life

A few days ago,

Moderators on the Lolita_Secrets agreed to post personnals attacks.

Usually there are only 30 secrets Max, but this week : 93 !!! xD

The most funny, to me, is not the secrets in themselves (even if some are so reals...),

but the girls who speak about them after this publication.

Unfortunately I only can speak for french Lolitas, but it's good enough "funny".

Why ?

- A majority think that Lolita "world" is Carebear-land

... Yes but NO, before to be lolita girls are human ...

- Some Secrets are true. I'm sure a lot of girls think the same but don't say.

- " It's not nice to talk crap behind the back" => Sometimes it's the first girls who do it.

- Maybe the fact that's anonymous, it's more frustrating, that's why so many gals are angry, they would LOVE to know who writes that, to have a name, a face and , why not, take a revenge on the autor.

- It's funny to see how on forums (french for me so, I don't know for others) all girls are sweet. If you read, you can think that they all are friends. But no ....

I realize, no I knew it actually, I see all the Hypocrisy there is .

I don't know if it's funny or scary actually ... xD

For my part, lolita secret about face was not really nice indeed, even if I think that some girls are not beautiful for me ( but as you know, beauty is subjective, and for love and friendship, inside)But a face is not a dress ... You can't change it.

It's not your fault or a mistake taste. So I won't say something about face.

But when I saw some lolita who are "fat" ( eh ...be sincere ...)and who wear dress to small for them ...I say, it's ugly !

Clothes are here to highlight the person, not the contrary.

The only one person who is here to show the clothe before him/herself is the model on Podiums during fashion show.

Even with a unruly face, with a few superfluous pounds, you can look good in lolita.

I saw some lolita who are not skinny at all and who wear corset perfectly! They have pretty face too.

But with correct model cloth and correct style.

For my part...I don't look good in sweet lolita or some short gothic lolita models.

Well ... Ok I don't wear, I can stay myself even if I don't wear all I like.

Well ... I'm in good mood today I give you the link =p

A last little thing about my "wonderful life" lol.

Last saturday I went, with my brother, see "Alice In Wonderland " by T.Burton.

Very good !

Landscapes and costumes are amazing as usual.

The story is of course a bit different that the original written by L.Carrol, but interresting.

More mature and the message inside, is not really understandable for children ( I saw children who were 4 or 5 o_o ).

To be oneself, learn that sometimes we must to say "no", decide oneself of our life.

I'm too lazy to write more today, I'm sorry.

I will write more for the movie's DVD lol.

Week-end life.

Hi !

I'm feel soooooo bad today. I'm sick I think.

I hope I will be

better for tomorrow and come back at school.

I'm watching (again and again) the movie Legally Blonde.

I really love it, especially when I'm feel bad, emotionally speaking.

It makes me good at the end lol.

It's the first time I'm watching it in english and without subtitles

...Weird xD

The character of Elle Woods is so sparkling, positive and strong.

She has a good heart and friendly values she won't break up.

Her "superficial" side is very pretty, it's not because you love fashion,

"light" things , parties...That you're stupid, nor serious, not

courageous and not here for others.

In the movie she has a lot of pink accessories, clothes and other things,

So it made me think to decora and hime fashion style but more soft XD

I love this kind of thing even if it's too much pink to me but I realized

I have some things like that I'm using everyday ....

Alice, Lolita & Cie

Helloooooooow everybowdy !

( Imagine with a wonderful french accent XD)

I went to watch Lolita communities on LJ and some lolita blogs.
At this time THE subject of meetings, reviews, etc is " Alice in Wonderland" by our dear Mr. Tim Burton.

Well, first, I love T.B's work, it's a great realisator, everytime good casting, good subjects and his own point of view of the world is very delicious . Lol

For this "célébration" Lolitas dressed up in .. ALICEEEEEEEEE.
Of course, like some are very imaginative it's " blonde with sax blue dress and black shoes" ....

Yes but NO xD.
Because this "look" it's only because of the disney movie ...
The real Alice, Alice Liddel was brown and like the lil' girl at this time and she was wearing 1850's dresses, crinolines for women so.

Why Alice is so popular for lolita ?
And which Alice ? The Alice of L.Caroll ? Or Disney ?
A mix of the both I think; A.Liddel because of her Victorian style ? And the blonde Alice because of her childish side ? And the both the irreal and psechedelic world.

[Alice Liddel by L.Caroll]

When I was 16 years old I worked on the both volumes of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Loking Glass.
Children's literature ? I think no. Not at all.
It's like the Perault's tales.
It's to convey a message to adults through children's stories.
(yes because who is reading tales for children before to sleep ? :p)
Perault, it was especially to denounce the reality.
In Alice it's more philosophical and mathematic.
Maybe a bit utopic.
But I admit it's a bit hard to me to speak about it because I don't remember good XD
I read it in ENGLISH, so when you've 4/20 in english ... it's not easy lol.
(But I'm better now XD I'm 19 ! XD)

[Alice Liddel]


Well, when I saw " Today I dressed up Alice-style lolita outfit".... Yes ...
You're doing a cosplay so o_o ...
After some gals are surprised when people say in the street " Oh you're desguised like Alice" ! No comment xD.

[ Alice-Lolita Outfit by Angelic pretty]


In France, we cant see the movie before Wednesday 24th march.
I think for once I will do an effort and go to the cinema for it with friends xD

Victoria Francès

[Victoria Francès]

I discovered her in a french gothic magazine ( Crypt'O'Goth, it was great unfortunately, there are had only some volume u_u and finished!) the article shown some images of her first book , Favole, photos of her and somes informations about Victorias, her insparations, technical ways etc.

Immediatly I'm fell in love !

I bough the 3volumes, soooo wonderful !

Unfortunately, the french translation is very very very bad ! I will try to find the books in spanish when I will come back in Spain, next summer.

But even in french, the story is beautiful, poetic and romantically dark.

She doesn't want to be called "gothic" but we can extrac this atmosphere of our mind when we are contemplating her works.

I won't write a biography with dates etc, because you can found everything on web, so, it's useless ^^.

The story: Across the 3 volumes we are following a young woman, Favole, newly vampire, in her journey through the world (Venice, Verona and Genoa for the first volume) to find her beloved vampire Ezequiel.

Through his quest, she will meet other characters, as Necross another vampire, the nymphs and even a young girl with some little trends Gothic Lolita or EGL.

Vol 1: Libère-moi - Libérame- Free me

Vol 2: Larmes de pierre - Lagrimas de piedra - Tears of Stone

Vol 3: Lumière Glacée - Gelida Lùz - Frozen light

She writen other books too, I let you to discover on the web site

Fashion University vol.7 + Life + drawing

Hellow everybody ^o^/

I'm so busy because of school and job at this time ....

I really enjoy my week-end.

I just finished a fasgion designe project for school (ofcos !)

The subject was: choose 4 illustrators, 4 fashion photos and draw like the illustrators choosen.

For my part I took Victoria Francès, the autor of the Favole saga ( I recommend it ! Wonderful drawings and a dark romantic love story), Kaori Yuki, autor of Angel Sanctuary & God Child among other , Quino a spanish humorist, autor of Mafalda and Aya Takano a japanese artist.

For the photos I went with a friend to the Père Lachaise cemetery for a mini-photoshoot and for the children photos I scanned the magazine Jelly Mama ( a mag' for the young mothers who are gyaru )

[She is very cute~]

[Kaori Yuki's way]

[Photo by Evelyne, Place: Père Lachaise, Paris]

[Victoria Francès way]

I don't put the others drawings because I'm not really satisfied.

And I must admit ...I'm not really satisfied about the seconde drawing too ...

I won't be surprised if the professor give me a bad result ^^".

***

I don't have a lot of time for myself unfortunately.

I try to read more ( I bough almost15 books ! And not time to read T_T)

I miss reading so much! I started, a few days ago, a book about the greco-roman mythology.

When I was 11, the mythology ( Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Celtic,...) was a really hobby.

Unfortunately, we don't study it a lot at school, a few months only.

But I managed to finish an other adventure with BBF !

Happy new year and V-Day!

[Vietnam Feb 2008]

Happy new chinese year !

恭喜發財! ( Gong Hey Fat Choy ) [Canto]
恭喜发财!(Gong Wi Fa Cai ) [Mando]
Chúc Mừng Năm Mới! [Vietnamiese]

I went 2 years ago to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in Vietnam, a few day after the celebration of the "Têt", it's the name of the new lunar year, the most important celebration ^^. It's while almost 2 weeks.
Ufortunately we only saw the last decorations , not parades etc. But it was beautiful, especially Mickey Mouse and Minie dressed up with Ao Dài, the traditional vietnamiese clothes.

[In Ho Chi Mihn City Feb2008]

This year it's the tiger year and with my friends we went to celebrate it.
There is a big asian community in Paris, so there are parades and dances.
It was great ^^ ( but a bit cold)
The sacred Dragon follows a "ball" during the parade, I know why it is represented with a pearl ( beautiful legend) but .. For the ball no. I will search it, because the explaination of my boyfriend doesn't satisfied me lol.

[The dragon]

[Evy my "fiancée" and Marina my "cousin"]

And Happy Valentine Day !!
Even for those who are single ^^""
We can spend this day between friends lool , I did it x)
Ok for once I'm not single this day but, as I love the easy relationships, my boy friend lives very far of me xp. So it's a bit the same to be single xD.

But I sent him presents ^^ I hope the postal serve won't lost it u_u""

And for my japanese friend too :p the " Tomo-Choko" the friendly chocoaltes in Japan

[Evy & Me]

I wore up a Qi Pao one of the traditional Chinese dress

Twitter

Ok I do the same one facebook etc ...But it's more interactive ^^"".

Japanese Wigs

I went to tokyo in december, like I was alone during the day ( my japanese friend had school and my BF was working xp ) so I decided to do shopping, because ...I was a little bit lost, so to find the historic places it was not easy to me and alone it's not funny ( ok to do shopping alone it's the same but easier lol)



So, I went with my friend Rio-chan to MaruiOne and I bough a Priscila wig.
I read good reviews about it, and indeed the quality is very good and not so expensive.
I chose a Hime-gal model , with a long bangs.

Very easy to wear and remove it ! I'm fan x)

Actually I realized that a lot of Hime-gal, Gyaru and lolita wear it.
It's understandable , these fashion ask, usually, curls and loooooong hair with other color than "black".
Imagine to crimp, and curl your hair almost everydays , with a coloration ... o_O Poor hair !
In a few years you will be hairless xD !
And I think some girls can't do these hair-style themself ( but there are amazing hair tutorials in Ageha, Poteen and, less good I admit, in Gothic & Lolita Bible) and not time too.
That's why wigs are a good deal ^^

Dress/ Headress: Alice and the Pirates

Wig: Priscila

I will continue about hair ^^
I went to the hair dresser too, to have extentions hehe !
Unlike in france ( I don't know for other countries) where the hair extentions are usually with glue ( after you must cut your hair u_u and it destroy your hair) or clips ( that you must remove before to sleep XD ), there it's with braids. It's very popular in gyaru world, a good alternative to wigs.
Very easy to curl and crimp it. It's less expensive than in france, around 12000Yens ( 98€-134$) for 30 locks ( it's good enough ^^) . Where I was do it the the locks were a good quality and the staff was very sweet. They offered me an ice tea with cakes, very polite and "kawaii" lool.

I don't speak japanese, only some words, I explain them I was "french" and I had the misfortune to say that I was from Paris , immediatly " aww Sugoiiiiiii desuuuuuuuuu" xDDD ans they asked me a lot of questions ... in Japanese !!! I didn't understand the subtilities, but the questions yes ^^ I was surprised. It was a great experience.
A last thing: the one of the hairdresser was with a skirt, "boobs" but ....a man voice ! It was not a "woman" x) It was funny I was surprised " O_O .... it's not a "Madame" " XDDD But very adorable. When I payed, the 3 persons came with me at the upstairs and they bowing me till I turned in the upstairs. The most japanese salutation I had during my stay ! lol

[ For the new Year]

Bolero: Angelic Pretty

Skirt: Angelic pretty

Ribbon: Jesus Diamante


A small inconveignant with these extensions, it's better to have strong hair and not as fine as mine, the long extensions weigh on the locks is sometimes painful, so fix your hair slowly and when you wash it, too.


I'm in baby sitting and when I doing my homeworks in watching TV and ... WWE showwwwww ! Today it was with Smack Down, my fav , because there is Edge ( who is not back T_T) and Morrison *o* ! Unfortunately he lost against Drew T_T.

John Morrison


After, the Divas show ... Very funny , I don't really know them but girls are maybe worse than men ! lol
So cruel between them!
The favorite thing : the humiliation, today it was a cake ( pig cake XD) in the face of one x) ... Enjoy the Divas show ! XD

The Crinolines

I bought the last Ageha and the G&LB vol 35 during my stay in Tokyo and I realized that the “crinolines” are more popular since a moment …Marie-Antoinette the return ?! x)

[From Ageha]

Anyway, M-A has ever been the one of the best model for the lolitas and hime gyaru. ( but she deserved to loose her head … xp )
In the japanese "gothique" world, the “crinoline” which appearances it’s not new .
In the Gothic Lolita style it begins with lolita’s subcategory, the Ero-Lolita ( or Erotic-Lolita), but It’s the first time to me, for a Hime gal x).

[From Aghea: I like the mix with the Kimono

It was an article about traditional Kimonos for the New year ^^]

I like it, it’s very original, before it was the corsets that we shown , now the crinoline xp. The women of the last centuries must be shocked lol.
I realize the details of the both crinolines, the ribbons and chains … Thanks to the evolution, the crinoline has been ameliorated.

[From Gothc&Lolita Bible Vol 35: It was about the Habsburg Queens

The corset is wonderful but the model doesn't wear it well...

The line of the hips are not good, she is too straight >_< .

For me 2 posibilites:

1=> If you wear a corset ok but it's toemphasize the hips and accentuate the crucible size.
A corset is created to tighten, so tighten it!

2=> Don't wear an overbust corset or and underbust corset but just a "Serre-taille" ( clamp size)

After it's my opinion ^^]

At the beginning it was made with horsehair, “Crin de cheval” in French that’s why we called it”CRINoline” ^^ ( but now some people called it a "cage" )after it was in metal, more lightweight and strong.
I have a crinoline but only an “under” crinoline ^^, I will maybe be make a crinoline later … It can be great for a Tokyo Decadance …

[From the G&LB Vol 35]

Dita Von Teese in Angelic Pretty ?

I'm a big fan of Dita Von Teese, but I don't really follow her life in the gossip people magazines.

I think we can be fan, without be a crazy fan who want to know all about the private life of the artists.

Well , a friend sent me this photo today !

I was surprised and happy ! ( I went here to buy some loli clothes during my stay too :p

She knows every and best fashion places !)

Dita bought Angelic Pretty and ETC Stuffs ! XD

What and why and for who , I don't know , but it's funny ^^

She is very elegant and retro so ...why buy Lolita clothes ?!

Maybe for the show if it's for her ^^.

Because ... Lolita is the oposite of Dita , ...But ...lolita ca bu used for fetish photoshoot too =D !

Happy New Year 2010 !

Bonne et Heureuse Année 2010 !!!

I'm sorry, I wanted to write a post per day during my lil' stay in Tokyo but ...Unfortunately not time, I was too tired, my days were plenty ! Lol

To visit all Shibuya 109, spend time with friends etc ...It was exhausting.
I really enjoy my stay especially my last day , my boyfriend was kind enough to invite me to dinner at the Christon Cafe in Shinjuku for the new year *o*.

I will write more about my stay later , I started school a week ago and we have a lot of work as usual , so I'm tired ( as usual ! xD).

But today I found on the french Lolita Forum , Cotton Candy, a documentary about Host Boys, it received 5 rewards!

I knew that, to be a host boys it was not so beautiful,
these guys only sale dream, glitter and artificial love, but ...To hear that from their mouths with testimonies and not only writings on some blogs it's a bit differente.
It's more "real" if I may say so.



I won't judge , just tell my own opinion ^^.
First , anyway it's a job like an other ...It's hard, very hard I think, physically and morally, they destroy their health because of alcohol and fatigue, and as we can heard in this documentary ... The hosts themselves are lost, they wonder them if they still have their own personality.

They don't trust in women, and vice-versa.

I find it distressing and sad. They lie between each other.
Today's society is superficial and it is satisfied, at least, it seemed ,to fully comply in dreams and fantasies...

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

Part 6 [End]

Fortunately all men and women are like that...At least I hope ! o_O

メリークリスマス !!!

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 ^^
