Super Soft Lolita Apron

Hello again, Sweetie pies! How are You on this Sunday? I hope You are just fine. The queen is feeling fine. She created a super soft lolita style apron for winter use.  

This fabric was originally a super soft children's blanket. Milk jugs, mini ladies, tea pots and oh...I always thought they were cherries, but in this picture they look clearly apples. Whatever, Nemo has got so many nice baby blankets, so I can sacrifice this one for my use.

This was actually very easy to make. I never use any formula when I sew. I just estimate with my eye and cut and sew. So here it is.

The leftover pieces of fabric are just fine for the hair.

The straps cross on the back.

The same petticoat You have seen before. I've got so much use for it.

Big lilac buttons...  

..and green striped socks.

This one is from Nemo with love:

See You & stay sweet! <3

The V-Day

Yesterday was V-Day, which refers besides the Valentine's Day also to the global movement to end violence against women and girls. So I went to see The Vagina Monologues, which is the cornerstone of the V-day movement. The performers were besides actresses, also Finnish celebrities and influential persons. It was performed at the Koko Theater. The day reminded me about an art exhibition some years ago in the Tennis Palace's Art Museum. There was a giant vagina created by an artist Mimosa Pale (sic! I learned during the yesterday's play that mimosa is one nickname for a vagina!). So here it is, the giant art vagina. After the exhibition Mimosa Pale has walked with the giant vagina (it is on wheels) around the streets of Helsinki and has had varying reactions.

 I am going in.

  

The artist Mimosa Pale is standing on the left. I am almost in. I am wearing KDK London's (Fiorella) tunic and Only's jeans btw if someone is interested :)

I am inside. It was dark and silky in there (not at all slimy and bloody, like you could have expected ;) Like a sheltered nest.

 I am peeking out.

 I am coming out. Yes!

It was definitely a positive experience! People looked so blissful when they were coming out. Look at their faces! The rebirth!

See You! :)

Gothic Lolita Nostalgia

Let's continue with the gothic lolita theme. Here are some photos of my first gothic lolita style outfits, from the year 2007. Since then my style has changed towards more fantasy type of outfits, although there is much from the gothic lolita style left, and of course I also wear ordinary clothes and other styles (a bit hippie, ladylike etc.) too. When I look at these photos now, I think they are kind of cute but I think that, at least in some photos, I look a little bit chubby. :)

Anyway, it has been a lot of fun to dress up like this. At one point, I used to dress up like this almost every day. People have come to talk to me and interviewed me and have taken photos of me everywhere; on the streets, parks, trains, festivals etc. Even at Ikea. I remember after the photo shoot session in the frosty weather (pictures below) we went to Ikea with my ex. A woman stopped me there and said to me in Italy "Complimento!". She was amazed about my style. I acted cool, but of course felt thankful and proud! :)

This photo with the black parasol I found accidentally from the internet, it has been taken of me by someone on the street (South Esplanade) in the summer 2007.

May Day 2007 (below).

 

 Here I am walking in the yard of my castle in Wonderland. The winter is coming and the nature is dying. The sadness has arrived.

 I sew clothes by myself too, and this lolita skirt in this last photo which I like a lot (the bird is the 'cherry on the top' of this photo) is made by me.

See You Soon! :)
