~ LAX Hilton, Los Angeles ~
Friday, November 9th
Small disclaimer... we were inside with poor lighting, so unfortunately I had to the flash a lot (either that or have blurry pictures). So, apologies ahead of time for some of the crappy quality pictures.
We got in late on Thursday night but I was too tired to take any pictures. So we start off bright and early in the reg line Friday morning...
(edit... ok so somebody got one arrival picture. Thanks Jenn!)
The lady to the very right was so cute, she had come to PMX specifically to buy a dress for her daughter because her daughter had unfortunately moved away and couldn't attend.
After the reg we ran to the boutique and were the 3rd group of girls to go inside. By this time a lot of stuff had been sold to the first 2 rounds... all skirts sold out ;_;
After the boutique I had to run upstairs to change into my panel outfit. I was representing punk/pirate lolita!
pinafore wore a very cute ETC JSK.
"Lolitas in Motion" Panel time!
After the models got briefed we took a few pictures...
Lauran, if you keep making those faces its going to stick!
The crowd with the models on the front row.
Other side, as it started to fill in.
Panel start! "If you don't want your girls down here, make sure to always wear a bra!"
Neku_Niku talked about her outfit first and did her little catwalk.
First up:

Then

Then back upstairs to change for the evening.

I think we were all tired from traveling the day before... time for some drinks.
Hotel bar was expensive but...
We ordered irish whiskey shots anyway.
Jenn kept up, 3 for 3.
(yeah... I made everyone take shots with me)
Cept for miss beer-chan over here.
Afterwards my dad called and I ended up going out to dinner at a nice french place nearby... so after being stuffed with lobser ravioli and wine and tiramisu...
I came back and got dragged out to Denny's. (good thing I was beyond full)
Boys just love the frills...
I...don't know. It was late. We were tired.
When you gotta fix, you gotta fix. Sheyne wore her awesome steampunk ensemble.
Unfortunately we didn't get pictures of us in the Live Nude Nudes seedy sex shop/strip joint. But we did see some interesting things. I didn't know you could do so much with a midget... XD.
Uh, anyway... end of day 1!
Thanks for looking, day 2 coming soon!
