30 Day Lolita Challenge: Day Twenty-two

We're drawing in on the end of things. Ohme, ohmy.

Can I make it?! Or will I falter before I reach the finish-line?!

Day 22: A picture of your room.



Oh.


Shit. Uhm.

Well. I'm in the middle of moving, so I think that you'll just have to make do with this (awful, fisheye) photo of my living room, complete with knitting mother. I'm in the middle of moving and all, so things are a huge mess with clothes everywhere, boxes stacked on boxes, piles of paper everywhere and a lot of random shit.

I promise to make up for this before I leave the country. Just like I promise to make up for the Day in Your Lolita Life post, too.

Suck the Life Right Outta Ya

One of the first things I did when I started packing for my trip this coming month was buy Space Bags.

What are Space Bags?

Why, these are Space Bags.

Space Bags are these awesome, giant plastic zip-lock bags. You fill them up with clothing, zip them shut with the industrial-grade zip-device, then vacuum the air out of them.

Are you sick of these posts dominating my blog, yet? Look at the post archive! Seriously! Just look at it! Almost every other line is a post from this meme!

Day 21: Your favorite fictional lolita.

Screen capture care of AnimePaper.net

 In general, I don't like fiction that focuses on lolita as its main topic. It gets to be shallow and trite most of the time and there isn't exactly a huge canon to draw from.

I did, however, really like Miwako (and Arashi, since they are a pair) from Paradise Kiss. She was a lolita character who made the fashion her live without being annoying about it (at least in my opinion); having her appear in other styles also helped soften the blow, really.

Miwako's character hit a lot of the stereotypes of lolita, but had a good deal of depth to her beyond that, and broke quite a few stereotypes as well. I really loved the relationship that she had with Arashi, because it was sweet and pure, but hardly the detached and "innocent" relationship you'd expect from a stereotypical lolita. She still had a personality and desires beyond the clothes, which I really did enjoy.

30 Day Lolita Challenge: Day Twenty

I've made it two thirds of the way through this meme and once again, I am faced with a difficult decision. I have quite a few people in mind who fit today's topic, but I unfortunately have to pick only one.

Day 20: A picture of a lolita friend.

My friend, Chi-burger as a b'henna'd pirate!

Wish I could still tapdance

I've already mentioned in previous posts how much I love tiled floors and feet. In fact, you've seen a lot of my feet. A lot. The last few days, I've been sorely tempted to shoot a whole series of photos of my feet in different shoes, stockings, pants, skirts, etc. in different locations with unique tiled floors.

I know, it sounds kind of insane, but it might result in a fun mosaic. Particularly if I frame or zoom in so that all of the tiles are about the same size as one another!

This project probably won't really happen, however. I'm a bit neurotic, but not that obsessive. Not even about feet.
