Moving Blog...

So, I don't know if anyone else is having this problem or not, but Blogger has been eating my posts.  It's getting very frustrating, and the app on my phone just went nuts.  And I am sure you have noticed the crazy way my pictures would lay out before I edit.  So I will keep trying to post here until we have a new space.

In other news, I finished my skirt in time for my birthday!!!  I would add the picture... but as soon as I do that, that is when Blogger decides it wants to erase everything, and I don't know why.

Next project is taking a pair of pants and turning them into shorts... I really need to document these projects better, I already cut the pants XD

First Rule... Lolita and Music Channels. And Lets Get Steamy! Steampunk that is!

So I tried to be silly the other night and thought I could make a skirt without a pattern...  Silly Lolita Doll 11.  The first rule of sewing, ALWAYS use a pattern!... Second rule, ALWAYS USE A PATTERN!!!  So now, I made a skirt, but it is soo bad...  I still have some fabric left from it that I am actually going to try to make another skirt using some other fabric with it too.  But first I will make the pattern that I was lacking the other night!

So Today I am going to post some youtube and website links. 

The first one is from Canudoitcosplaygirl!  I am a big fan of this girl, and after I move to London I plan on meeting her if I can find a Lolita Meet that she will be attending.  Canudoitcosplaygirl, you have two years to flee the Country and avoid me XD.  Anyway I find her videos to be pretty entertaining and downright useful!  I myself am a budget Lolita.  Any brand that I do have is Bodyline and I think I only have two dresses.  Aside from that, I have been making my own clothes and some of the stuff I make comes out pretty awesome if I do say so myself, but I do have times where I finish something and look at it and go "omg, what the %^&* is this?"  Moving back onto the topic of Canudoitcosplaygirl, she has a video on how to make a budget Lolita video, specifically for Kodona style.  I already have a pair of pants that are waiting for me to finish making them frilly tastic!  Hopefully I will be getting my own laptop soon and I can make her a video of my finished outfit (if she is interested in seeing it... it would be nice to have feedback :) )  So everyone should subscribe to her right now, and watch her turn this guy into a BroLita!                                                                                                                              




Next is blinktwice4y.  I love the sound of this guy's voice... sorry Mason (that's the boyfriend for those who don't know).  This guy was introduced to me a while go and he comes up with these great songs that he   Favorite Disney movie, EVER!  If Mason and I come into a lot of money, or if I ever become a fashion designer, I'm paying this guy to play at my wedding.  I will pay for his hotel room, feed him, whatever it takes!  And Monique has to come too to sing that song.  Anyway, he got a lot of hipe from the Mario Kart Love song that he wrote.  I bought his download, and I actually have to buy it again because I lost my copy :(  But I am happy to send this guy my money, you should too!writes himself.  He also does covers.  I almost cried when I heard his and Monique Macasaet's version of Kiss the Girl from the Little Mermaid.  Favorite Disney movie, EVER!  If Mason and I come into a lot of money, or if I ever become a fashion designer, I'm paying this guy to play at my wedding.  I will pay for his hotel room, feed him, whatever it takes!  And Monique has to come too to sing that song.  Anyway, he got a lot of hipe from the Mario Kart Love song that he wrote.  I bought his download, and I actually have to buy it again because I lost my copy :(  But I am happy to send this guy my money, you should too!

Final plug for the night, then I am going to go to sleep and hopefully work on my pattern tomorrow!


Steampunk...  What is Steampunk?  I was going to make a seperate page, like how I do for Lolita at the top of my page (which reminds me... I have to site my sources because I don't think I did before...).  The problem was that I kept getting frustrated every time I was thinking about how to explain it.  It's not that I cannot, but I have a problem where I need to get into every little tiny detail about it.  Your lucky that the Lolita Tab came out the way it did!  So lets see if I can describe Steampunk in a sentence.






Steampunk is a Neo-Victorian universe/life style that embodies the romance of the Victorian Fashion with Science Fiction...  There, that wasn't too bad!  But here is a video that can probably give you a better idea than I can!  This video covers so much in so little time!  Crafting, Music, Fashion!  And it's from PBS, what more can you ask for?

Alright, well that is it for me!  Hopefully I will have something new for you soon!  Bye!!!
