Today wasn't terribly sunny but that made for an easier time wearing loli without swealtering :) This was the first time I went to the Alice in Wonderland Festival but it was lots of fun - actors playing out parts of the book and just a lot of people dressed up and having fun overall!
Anyhoo many many pics under the cut
( Click here for many photos (20)! )
All in all much fun was had. Watching the kids being involved in the queen's croquet games and the actors playing out parts of the book was really worth the time we spent there. More random photos can be found here s7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/rillystar/i

The brown thing poking out from under the tshirt & the pink pants appear to be unreleased or new items.
If you know which part of the site these items came from, please let me know so I can edit it into the post!
I did

I can't believe I actually wrote Usa/Mamo. And in CT no less! W00T go me!
Do you know who the lady of the manners is? Well her book is finally out. And to celebrate she is having a book signing on the 17th in NYC. And on the 18th she is having a tea party in green wood cemetary from 1 to 4 pm. This is not a lolita event, it is mainly for goths. However, I think as she has been featured in the G&L bible darker loli styals are apropite. I unforchinitly can't attend as one of my friends birthday party is that day and I already said I'd go to it. However, I thought I would informe you all in case you didn't know.
See her website for more details.www.gothic-charm-school.com

My apologies for posting yet another question (I certainly don't mean to spam the community with request posts), but I had such helpful suggestions and success with my last entry, that I'm pretty confident I'll find the information I need by asking here again.
I'm looking to purchase a simple black vest. Perhaps double breasted or with a unique collar to give it that twist, but I'm mainly just trying to find something simplistic. I'm thinking that the more simplistic, the easier it is to match in a variety of outfits.
The problem is, it's for someone who's measurements are beyond petite. She has a small bust and a small waist (I don't know her exact measurements) to the point where a Forever 21 / H&M / etc size small is too big and baggy for her. And their size "extra smalls" are rare, to say the least.
Can anyone direct me to stores online (that ship in the US) or offline (preferably in the LA, California area) that may carry a simple loli-able vest that fits an extra extra small?
Also: Pictures of outfits that feature a black vest would be particularly helpful for future reference.
Hi all! So, I've been participating in the annual Shitennou Ficathon for the past few years, but I really am having trouble coming up with a satisfactory piece for this latest ficathon. In short, I was wondering if anyone (and I'm more than happy to have multiple takers) would mind my sending a draft to her/him some time this month for beta-ing? And since secrecy is important in the ficathon, I'd prefer to have someone not participating this year to have a look at it. Thanks!!
