for those of you that were interested in the contents of the DVD mentioned in a previous post ↑

i was able to record and upload it with a few workarounds to avoid copyright, so you can now watch it in its entirety! you'll find details of behind the scenes photoshoots of "gothic & lolita bible" and "kera" magazine, the process of designing lolita and ouji clothes with "baby the stars shine bright" designers Masumi Kano, Kumiko Uehara, and "alice & the pirates" designer Mitsuba. interviews with models Misako Aoki, Midori Fukasawa, and Akira Shiraishi. lolita and "doll" makeup tutorials by Akio Namiki. english subs are available, but they are provided by a mixture of myself, my partner, and a few gaps filled by machine translation—i definitely tried, but i can't guarantee 100% accuracy.. corrections are very welcomed!

Gothic And Lolita Bible

a few secondhand egl related books I picked up recently🥀🖤

Angel ll OP, Millefleurs

what I would have worn for the BTSSB show at New York Fashion Week! 🌸🐇

I wanted to match the usakumya/Alice in Wonderland/oldschool vibes of the fashion show and Baby’s Sleeping Alice print is perfect for that! I put together a couple coords then edited to look like a GLB brand feature/street snap ૮꒰ྀི⊃⸝ ⸝ ⸝⊂꒱ྀིა♡

I hope I can attend an event like this in person one day! The show looked really beautiful and I’m excited to see more photos/videos/blog posts come out ꒰ა♡໒꒱

OP, JSK, apron, cardigan, KC and usakumya are all Baby the Stars Shine Bright. Bloomers and socks are from metamorphose and shoes are from OneSpo

i updated and rearranged my lolita physical media collection as i was recently able to complete two sets: my english "gothic & lolita bibles" at the top (still a long way to go for the japanese volumes you see sandwiched in between) and my "gothic lolita & punk brand books" at the bottom! for brand catalogs that are a bit too flimsy without a solid spine, loose pages, flyers, prints, postcards and such; i added in a file folder to give them a little extra protection.

it looks a little strange stacked vertically, but this temporary setup until i move was the solution i found after some trial and error. the classic horizontal "bookcase" presentation of the magazines was far too much weight and pressure for my unstable shelves and caused an extremely loud and heavy avalanche. thankfully i survived with just a bruise, but more importantly.. none of my books were too hurt! reorganizing them all over again from the beginning after the fact was a bit tedious, though.

i'm especially looking forward to reading the three acquisitions pictured above given that finding english lolita media has proven quite difficult.
