Relax Summer
So, Animazement finally came, and I went to the lolita panel. It was wonderful, and I thought the slides and topics mentioned were so true and so helpful to new lolitas, but I wish there could have been a little discussion for the more long-time lolitas. I always feel like I'm not 100% accepted with the lolitas I don't know very well, like I'm perpetually a newbie to it, but I've been a lolita since I started high school (although then, I was the worst lolita ever. I was like any other beginner- anything frilly is lolita! Anything lacey is lolita! NO. WRONG.), and I know what's right and wrong in lolita fashion. I know my way around the style and mindset, and I always try to be polite and helpful to everyone, but I guess I have trouble getting into a new group of people.
I just totally failed on my first post in the egl community here on livejournal. I was so ashamed to see that I had forgotten one of the rules: No introduction posts. And I had made a rather "wordy," as someone said, introduction, too. I am all too glad that one of the mods deleted it very very quickly, and also glad that I got a chance to apologize on there before it was deleted. I hope this doesn't mark me as an idiot for the rest of my time on there...
Now, enough of my depressing stories, on to the good stuff! Now that Animazement is over, I can finally breathe. I had been working so hard on my artwork to sell there, so I didn't get a chance to work on my manga, Everything is Peaches and Cream (in which everything is not peaches and cream), or my merchandise in my etsy store. Somehow, I did have time for Poupee Girl most days, though... >.>
Speaking of which, I'm really glad that Poupee Girl is such a friendly community. Everyone is always complimenting each other's clothing and things, which is why the community exists, really, and I've been able to make the acquaintance more properly with two people on deviantART who I had been devWatching. Lemontree and Ichigatsu (or perhaps it's meant to be read in Chinese... I don't know the Chinese reading of it) are two very friendly and fashionable girls, and I would love to get to know them better. Lemontree is quite an accomplished designer, and I believe one or two of her designs won in the Bodyline competition! If I ever want to hire someone else to help me work on designs and sewing for Lucia, I want it to be her.
And, speaking of Lucia, I have renamed my store for the moment. If anyone happens to read this for whatever reason, please help! Should the name of my store be Lucia, or Lucy's Looking-Glass? Which sounds more lolita? I'm not able to be very objective right now, because they are my own choices, but if you have any ideas, please help!
