My Secret Garden

So recently I ended up making a new video on YouTube for a quarentine/stayhome collab with other Lolita YouTubers. Joëlle of  FluffyKawaiiJo  on YouTube, and Designer of  Fluffy Tori , has put together a collaboration project to share bring entertainment and give ideas to lolitas who are dealing with isolation. Other YouTubers who have also contributed to the project are  Fallen Princess ,  Clover ,  Embroidered Doll ,  Cupcake Kamisama ,  Lou Graves  and  Lovely Lor . The whole playlist of videos in this collaboration series can be found  here . I ended up making a DIY/sew-along for face masks, as I mentioned in my previous post about  things you can do in quarentine as a lifestyle lolita, I mentioned how recently I have been sewing face masks for my family members who work in hospitals, so I figured it might be helpful to others who might be interested in doing the same. Besides, sewing more often has helped calmed...

Well, not really, just the post. Just the latest development in the 2020 Apocalypse. Japanese post has suspended shipment of EMS and Airmail to the USA. Now everything I’ve posted before the last few weeks has come true. It is officially 2004 again. There is no longer any way to buy from brands overseas. We must make due with the leftovers of our own local secondhand market. Nothing new is coming in. I guess it’s a good thing I have almost the entire collection of Gothic & Lolita Bibles complete with sewing patterns. The only new Lolita will be at the expense of my pricked finger tips rather than my bank account. I remember when I first discovered Lolita in middle school. I taught myself how to sew so I could hold a little bit of this perfect world I discovered in my own hands. I would raid my step mother’s scrap fabrics to sew my own maxi pad styled headdresses to wear with my fishnets, camo mini skirts and big stomps boots. Wooo boy am I glad I never got any photos of that mess...
