Sushi weekend

Last weekend was a bit special for me. My brother and I have created a new business! (More info soon) and as a sort of celebration we thought we’d have a sushi weekend…
If you’ve never had a sushi weekend, basically all you need to do is get some sushi (in our case two boxes), and then eat it ^_^
Emilie and Fin (Dom’s Girlfriend) came over to help us get through the sushi.

Three layers of sushi ↑

We also went to see the Avengers!!
I don’t think I can fault anything about the film, everyone played their parts perfectly and they somehow made the Hulk/ Bruce personable, which the other films were far from achieving.
It’s easily my favourite film this year.

I apologise for the lack of blogs lately, I’m not being lazy honest! I’ve been busy with quite a few projects which are giving me a 14 -16 hour working day, 5 - 6 days a week -____-
It’s probably been the busiest last couple of months of my life; I’m just hoping it pays off…

I’ve got the LM.C gig and the London MCM Expo coming up so expect a few of blogs out of those.
Also happy Star Wars day to everyone xx

Hyper Japan

So last Saturday I was very nicely invited to perform at Hyper Japans Fashion Show by the gorgeous Tania. The fashion show was showcasing Japanese street fashion like Lolita (quite a few different types), Punk, VK and Gyaru.
The downside of the whole day was having to get up at 5am and getting up to Earls Court, London for 8:30. After meeting up with a few friends we did like a mini rehearsal before the venue opened to the public. The fashion show was actually around 2:30 so it gave us all time to get all prerrrdy and shiz.

Everyone (in our little group) looking pretty after getting ready.

↑ We hung out with Chriss and Doudou most of the day ↑

We also went on a bit of a food tour around the event, I attend a lot of these types of events for work but it was the first time in years I've had a proper mozy around to see everything the event had to offer. ↓

I WANT THAT ONE!! ↑

We also got a free bento for doing the show! ↑

Virgin Blak Review

So I’ve been clothes shopping again… before I go to Japan I usually save up a big lump sum of my own money and have a little bit of a blow out when I’m there which is meant to last me a good six months until I go out there again -- in theory. I’ve been a little better this time I lasted almost three weeks without shopping again ^_^;

A friend mentioned an online shop called Virgin Blak – clicks link *nose bleeds* Sexy clothing overload! Generally I don’t buy online, I’m always hearing horror stories from friends who buy things and get hit with taxes and endless delays. Bering that in mind I thought I might as well give it a go and cry if it doesn’t work out.
Virgin Blak is an American based online store catered to men’s fashion from mostly Korea and Japan with a rocky/ dark vibe. I would defiantly liken it to online stores like Yesstyle.com, although in my find it reminds me how Yesstyle was several years ago before if got all big and corporate. I feel yesstyle now focus less on customer satisfaction due to the sheer size plus its irritating buying 5 items and only finding out days later only 2 of them are in stock…. I rant and digress.
I purchase a white floral blazer (pictures bellow) and a pair of black skinny jeans with leopard print  detailing and coat for my brother. I paid extra for the faster delivery (6 – 10 day), the alternative slower delivery was around 30 days I believe but the option’s there and it is a lot cheaper if anyone’s interesting.

Such a pretty box ♥ ↑ 

Everything was packed really lovely ↑

I only took a couple of pictures and this one was probably the least blurry ↑

The size I chose was a Korean small, it's really well fitted and tappers at the waste rather than an ugly strait cut. The blazer's material is really thin which in my opinion is a positive, it means I could wear a few layers with it and not feel too toasty.
 
I really do recommend Virgin blak -- virginblak.com -- From the stuff I ordered I found the quality very good, a good range of sizes and the price quite reasonable. my only problem was probably the delivery cost I would like to see free shipping if you buy a large  amount of clothes.

I'm going on holiday around Christmas, Emilie and I have got ourselves a little cottage on the south-west cost of England. Some time soon I'll get some photos up from the Summer trip I took to Japan - they're a little overdue -____- I think there's also going to be a fairly large Gyaru meet in London some time around New Years so that could be quite fun -- goodnight for now Lovely people xx  

AFK

As you can probably tell I’ve been afk for a while – well away from my blog anyway. A combination of heart-breaking man flue and too much work kept me away. A shit load of things have happened over the last few weeks so rather than boring you and making a tl;dr post I’ll try to be concise and give you the highlights.

A few weeks ago Versailles came to London, I wouldn’t say I’m a Versailles fan girl but I like their music and love their style and it was also a good chance to see a few friends. The show was absolutely packed so a hopeful signing turned in to a brief meet and greet but we all got to shake their hands a see their gorgeous faces and the show was amazing so I was happy. ↓

Another really awesome thing happened! I was invited to go to the filming of one of the new episodes of Nevermind the Buzzcocks (Which is a UK comedy music panel show) I’ve been a big fan of the show for years so even though I felt like passing out from man flue I still went along -- and in turn probably infecting everyone T_T -- I met a few celebrities including one of my favourite British comedians Adam Buxton and my hero Noel Fielding! He said I looked really cool and asked if I was in a band, I was like Noel said I’m cool ~ that’s a life dream fulfilled! ↓

         I look so sick here -_-                     crap photo courtesy of my brother

The other week I attended the London MCM Expo as a stall holder with my business. We were so busy most of the weekend – which is obviously really good but I was upset I didn’t get to see a few friends; including Toby -- his blog tobi4chinatown -- hopefully we’ll arrange a meet or something soon.
OH! Yeah!! I also got a pack of these Cheki Polaroid’s printed with Stitch! Now how damn cute are they ♥ ↓

That’s it for now, I’ve been shopping a lot lately – haven’t decided whether it’s a good thing yet – so I’ll get some bits up soon. I’m also planning a project with Chris -- his blog journeygyaru-o -- he’s currently at uni in Narnia or somewhere far away but we’ll hopefully have a meet sometime soon.
Also a big Hi! To my new followers (even though I haven’t posted much -_-;) and a lot of love to the followers who stuck around ~ Thank you! I’ll be posting a lot more xx

Fun in the sun with Chris

Last Saturday I went to see the loveable lothario that is Christian Foxley -- His Blog journeygyaru-o.blogspot.com -- we actually only met recently but we’ve been friends chatting online for a while -- we were both born in the same dark part of the internet so we have a lot in common.

Chris is off to uni in a few days so we thought it would probably be a good idea to meet up before he moves far far away T_T

He lives in a very lovely part of England called Canterbury full of old cathedrals and some of the most mellow people I’ve met in the uk. Chris took me on a tour of the town and some of his favourite shops including a retro games shop he works in every now and then. This shop was practically heaven for me; they even had a commodore 64! As well as the biggest selection of Dreamcast and Sega Mega Drive games I’ve seen for over a decade *Childhood rushes back* After Chris dragged me out of the game shop we went off to Wagamamas for lunch then grabbed an ice-cream and sat in a park and chatted. One of the things I agreed was to show him how to do his hair all prudy. I showed Chis how he could do a few styles as well as sujimori so obviously we had to camwhore ^^

My hair went a bit scummy after the day but I should probably start letting you guys know what i'm wearing: Jeans are Vice Fairy, Belt, buckle and chain are Diavlo, T-shirt is Allsaints, Diavlo necklace and braclets are random ones from Japan and Australia.  

Me again.

Chris.

Chris and his pretty hair.

I've just done an online shop with a company called Virgin Blak so my next blog will probably be a review with them as well as some more pics, bye for now x 

Ashamed to be English

Its a few days since this started in Tottenham (where a gang member was shot by police) and this has really got out of hand. The chaos in London seems to have died down but sporadic violence, arson and looting is taking place all over England. The UK and the rest of the world isn’t in a great state at the moment with natural disasters in Japan and other places in the world, Crazy mass murders in Norway, a shitty economy for all of us and now this… I grew up in some really dodgy neighbourhoods and even though I live in a fairly nice location now I know how bad it can be but I still can’t see why people would have so little respect for where they grew up.

There have always been things I dislike about England and things I don’t agree with but seriously I have never felt so ashamed to be English until now, I do understand that everyone’s not to blame and there are a lot of good people here I’ve just never wanted to leave this country so much.

Some pictures of people being dicks ↑

I don't know if you have Poundland by you or in your country but basically it's a bargain shop. I mean you couldn't get me to walk into this shop on a good day and these people find in necessary to brake in. Also everything she's stealing is worth about £2.50... Why rob a place up for a couple of quid? ¬_¬" ↑

Burning T-shirts - why not... ↑

As you my probably be able to tell I’m not a happy bunny (I don’t think many people in the UK are). On a happier note it’s Emilie’s birthday party this weekend (in London ¬_¬) so hopefully I will come back blogging about happy things so watch this space ~ See you later x
