Back Home from Hamburg!!

Arrgghh.... Fu***** Notebook!

I was already writing on the first Report for you, when my Notebook said "Oh, I installed some new Updates...I should make a system restart...but I don't ask you, if you want this as well! I just do it!".
So my ..."lovely" Notebook closed all programm and I had no chance to save anyhing I wrote in the last hour. Damn it! But now, back to topic!

As you can see, I'm back Home from Hamburg...with mixed feelings. This Journy was a big adventure. It had ups and downs and I'm still overwhelmed by the uncountable impression.
I will tell and show you everything I can, in the next few days. I will write you a report about "The Grand Tea Party" (19 - 20.06.15), Hamburg itself (Sightseeing, Shopping, Impression) and finally a special Report about my Visit at "The Phantom of the Opera" (I can still hear the Music in my Head).

Stay tuned!!!

Loli(ta)lk: Preparations for the Grand Lolita Teaparty Hamburg

Only 6 Days left until the Grand Lolita Teaparty in Hamburg, Germany. I'm so excited and I still have sooooo much to do.
My Outfits are still not completly planed and a pair of shoes, that I ordered weeks ago haven't arrived yet...

On the first an second space for the Tea Party are currently:

Angelic Pretty - Clestial JSK (navy)

Alice and the Pirates - Theatre de l'erreur JSK (ivory)

It's my first Trip to Hamburg and it's a City that has been on my Travel-Wishlist for years, because I'm a big Musical Fan and Hamburg is one of the big Musical-Citys in Europe. Therefor I will use my trip to Hamburg not only for the Lolita Teaparty, nooo. On Sunday evening I'm gonna visit the Phantom of the Opera at "Neue Flora"-Theatre, my absolute favorit Muscial.

I have CDs, DVDs and Sheet-Music of the Phantom, but it will be the first time, that I will see the Show for real. My Plan is to go to the Phantom in Lolita. I own "Masquerade Theatre" from Alice and the Pirates and what could fit better? The only Problem is, that this dress is really really tight (for me). With this dress I will not be able to sing along with the Musical, but maybe thats better for my seat-neigbour =)
If you want to, I will write you a report when I'm back home. 

Oh, one more thing. I ordered a new Petticoat from a ebay-seller from the United Kingdom. I actually wanted a Classical Puppet Petticoat, but this never would have reached me befor Hamburg. That's why I decided to order from a european seller.
Well....I'm not quite sure, if this was the right choice. I received the Petticoat a few days ago. Take a look at this:

About 25cm long

About 2 to 3 cm thick

I've never received a Petticoat packed like this....What will happen, when I open the bag? Well I can show you what happened:
 

I'm still not sure what to think of it... I guess, I will have to try it under a skirt or dress.

Isn't that a Lolita Dream??? I want to jump into this Picture!! <3

Lolita + Talk = Loli(ta)lk! I'm planing to use this "Word-Creation" for all my future Lolita-Posts or would you prefer "Loli-Talk" or simply "Lolita Talk"? You can leave a comment ;)

 

How I discovered Lolita

I first discovered Lolita during a Convention. I saw some Sweet-Lolitas, all in Pink and I thought "Oh my God, this is horrible". WTF? Some of you will say. Well, I never really liked pink. It's just not my colour. But these Sweet Lolitas with their Pink Outfits remained in my Head. I couldn't forget them and a few month later I startet my research. I learned about the different Styles and my Interest grew and grew. I discovered, that Lolita isn't only sweet and pink. Another few month later I decided, that I want to try Lolita myself, but how? How can I create a Lolita Outfit? Where can I get Dresses, Skirts and all this other beautiful Accessories? And how and where would I be able to wear Lolita-Fashion and meet other Lolitas? Only on Cosplay Conventions??
A lot of Questions...well I was a bit planless. I asked Prof. Dr. Google and found fanplusfriend.com. I decided to order two Outfits and some Accessories.
(If you would like to have a fanplusfriend-Review, please leave me a comment).

At the same time, I found a local Lolita-Group. I saw that they will have a Meet-Up in a few weeks and decided to go there and try my luck. Too bad my F+F-Order would never reach me on time. Thats why I had to create a Lolita-Outfit out of Items from my past Gothic-Days.

What Lolita means to me?

If you would ask me "Do you think, your pretty?", I would say "Definitely, no!". I'm not pretty and I'm not beautiful. I'm a normal girl. Normally I don't use much Make-up (only BB-Cream, nothing else) and my clothes...well, always Jeans, a T-Shirt/Pullover sometimes a Blouse and Sneakers. Very casual. But if I have the chance to wear Lolita - what is only for Meet-ups - I take my time to make the full Make-up and if you would ask me then again, I would say "Yes, I think I'm pretty". Beside the self-confidence that Lolita gives me, I found new Friends through this Fashion, what is even more important.
A few weeks ago I went to a Meet-Up and...don't ask me how, this day was magical. I saw the Picures a few days later and thought "Wow, I'm damn beautiful on this Pictures". It made me so happy, I can't discripe it...

And that is, what Lolita means to me: Fashion, Beauty, Friends, a good time and happiness.

Lolita-Styles and Brands

My Favorit Style is Classic, but I also like Gothic, Pirate and Steampunk. I would also like to try Military or Sailor some day =)
Most JSKs in my closet are from Alice and the Pirates and Angelic Pretty. Whats your Favorit Style and Brand?

Yeayyy it's done. My first real Post ^^

See you soon!
