SakuraCon 2018 fat exclusion.
I was really excited to learn that Mana Sama would be at SakuraCon in Seattle this year, and even more excited to learn that he would be hosting a tea party and fashion show to promote the Moi-même-Moitié fashion line.
Moi-même-Moitié was sold last year to a company devoted to expanding the brand to an oversea market. Mana will still be involved as designer and spokesperson, and is coming to Seattle to promote the brand. Part of this promotion is an intimate tea party and fashion show to be held at Sakuracon.
Of course I want to go. Mana has been an inspiration to me for over two decades. He is the living avatar of the elegant gothic aesthetic which has shaped my life. Imagine my bitter disappointment when, on March 10th Sakuracon announced that in order to attend the tea party, guests must be wearing Moi-même-Moitié fashions.
I don’t even know where to begin unpacking this - but I will start off by saying that I am a 52 year old woman. As much as I appreciate the ruffles and bows of Lolita style, I’m a bit long in the tooth to wear it convincingly. My aesthetic is Victorian headmistress/ Disney villain, not adorable porcelain doll.
I will follow that up by stating that I am a woman of size. I’m not ashamed of being fat - nor am I embarrassed by it. Moi-même-Moitié clothing only comes in sizes 2 and 3. Even if I DID want to wear their clothing (and they do have some lovely jackets) it wouldn’t fit me. As I mentioned before, no one is allowed into the tea party unless they are wearing Moi-même-Moitié. This means that I am barred from the event because I am unable to fit into a Japanese size 2 garment.
It is also pertinent to the discussion that the party policy announcement came AFTER they stopped selling advanced memberships. People who paid in advance to attend the convention (because of events like the tea party) are being given the message that “we took your money - but you aren’t welcomed to participate in all of the events”. This cannot be the kind of message they want to send? Can it?
I am deeply saddened by this. As a fan of Mana Sama’s work in both fashion and music it is disheartening to find that Moi-même-Moitié and SakuraCon have chosen to exclude plus-sized people from this event.

It was an emergency.
Have a dumb lazy comic I threw together. I’m going to paint one next which is going to be a McFreaking nightmare, but I’m here for the challenge!!!

The file’s too big for Tumblr, so I’m sharing it from my DA account (sorry). Anyway, this was supposed to be a simple klance sketch for @ravenclawsidiot but morphed into a 10+ hour project lol
