Important news, friendslist: I was summoned for a meeting with the two guys in charge at Moshi Moshi re. this year's festival events.
In roughly 3 weeks, there's going to be an 'anime festival' with cosplayers, Tokyo Toys... etc present, and they've invited me to organize some lolita bits and pieces alongside all the anime madness.
It's a fairly big deal, as this year they're making it bigger and better and grander, and a fair amount of press / media are going to get involved, with any luck. They're also talking about a celebrity presence of some description.
Anyway, They want another catwalk to take place like last year, and have also given us the opportunity to have stalls set up (if any of us want to, that is.) where we could sell loli accessories for example (good news for the jewelers etc amongst us... ;) )
I think the official word was that we wouldn't have to pay for the stall either, so it's pretty much a fantastic opportunity, as I expect there will be huge crowds. (We'd set up shifts or something to make sure it was supervised at all times.)
As far as the catwalk goes - I'll be sending out something a bit more official in the next few days, but I'm going to start the 'casting' via invite, and if we desperately need more bodies, then I'll advertise openly. As I don't know -everyone- in the scene here, please feel free to spam me with suggestions for keen participants also.
I am just dreaming about putting something really sleek and quite wonderful together. :o
I don't want to bog it down with heaps of explanations and talking because I think Lolita 101 has been done to death really.
ALSO - If possible, they'd like a few of us to go out frilled up on the weekend of the 24th, flyering. (Which they are willing to pay us £5 - 6 an hour for.) This is probably going to be happening from 12 - 4 in the daytime. So if you're free at the weekend and you feel like getting paid to wear lolita, come help out.
