Loli Hyper
Loli as in Lolita. And... it's all rosen_schwert 's fault. First, she had to tease me with the Versailles calendar. Made me sad. Then she got me hooked on Baby the Stars Shine Bright and Alice and the Pirates' website. Not nice. Not nice at all.
A few days ago, my mother was upset with me because I told her that I would be giving her money to put into her ( Read more... )

I don't have a problem with the price of the Alice bow, not for the fact that it's Alice and the Pirates. I mean, they make Versailles' costumes after all. I'm pretty sure they said that one color was sold out. And I think it was... was there a black one? I don't know, some other color. I'm pretty sure the red is still there. Wouldn't be surprised if it was sold out, because I really think that that is Hizaki's bow from their current costumes. Not why I want it, I just happened to notice...
I pretty much like all except black. If I had lighter hair then I would probably prefer the back one, but I really like the... yellowish (but not really) color and the blue. I wonder how much it weighs too. Because if it gets too close to the price of the Alice bow, I mean... I may as well pay for that one instead. Of course, fanplusfriend has really great deals minus their painful shipping charges. But I suppose people like to get their clothes like... three days later.

Makes sense to pay more if they typically work with celebrities already. I dunno why black would be sold out. It's definitely not in my taste.
fanplusfriend has good pricing for the item itself, but the shipping cost is sooo high. I hate it when it's like that. I rather pay higher for the item and less for shipping, even if it came out to be the same. It just doesn't seem like it's worth it the other way around.
Have you tried any other places? I looked around on ebay, but there's nothing like that pretty >_>;;

LOLI BOWS!! Which don't appear to exist right now, haha. I mean shoot, I tried ebay this morning (because I woke up wayyyy too early) and I was searching for over an hour before school. Nothing. Nothing good, I mean. Saw plenty of lolita things, but I think that in regards ebay, many people seem to think that lolita is just wearing weird clothes and socks. And their hairbows are ugly. I'm not quite sure where to look, but I'll let you know as I continue my quest. In the long run, maybe I'll just have to suffer fanplusfriend's shipping charges. I'll never be able to get the Alice bow past my mom anyway; she'd be pissed at me.
Haha, told my mom that I was looking for hair bows, and sort of explained how expensive Hizaki's bow was and how badly I wanted it... Then she says "I'm sure they have cheaper bows at... Target or something." Yeah. Of course they're cheaper. That's because they're stupid American bows!! I don't want one of those! Even when I try to explain things to her, she's out of it...

I tried ebay, but no luck either. They were either plain bows that you can find at any cheap accessory store. Or they were fancy ones, but NOT with bows - like those ones with feathers and what not.
haha, I never tell my mom how much stuff is anymore! She can't spaz since it's my own money, but she thinks 20 bucks for a pair of pants is expensive =__=;; Like WHAT?! She's unbelievably cheap sometimes so I learned not to tell her that sort of thing...
Parents will just never understand us sometimes when it comes to things like this! So better to not even try. Do keep me informed though, and I shall try to look around some more!

I'm not going to talk to my mom anymore. The main trouble is that my mom still hasn't gotten me my own account, so I have to use her paypal, which means I have to hand her the money to put into her account first. And that's when she gets all obnoxious and controlling. I think I'm just going to have to find a nice friend instead so that my mom can't say squat until it shows up in the house or she sees it on my head, haha
I definitely went psycho browsing today. I don't even know how many sites I looked at, through thousands, and I mean THOUSANDS of accessories... did find really cute bows. Too expensive. Too expensive for shipping. And then... the other problem was that I would run into the same bows on different sites because they'd get their merchandise from BABYSSB or Angelic Pretty or Alice and then sell it (sometimes for more than it's worth) usually after it sells out at Baby. And so... Fail. Gonna keep looking, I guess...

Ooh... Hope you find someone to help you then! :) Why can't you start your own account though? I can't remember what was needed since I did mine a looong time ago. Like immediately after I got my own credit card... Lol~
Yah, I must have looked at a few hundred browsing through ebay and nothing!! I will have to help continue the search when I get home today since I have time! :D
