End of Year Wardrobe Post!

It's truly hard to believe that Phanty and I only became serious about lolita fashion just this year, with the immense collection we've already amassed so far together. For simplicity's sake, we're only going to be listing our current dresses and skirts. :3

A Very Loli Christmas to You!

Hey there, Merry Readers! Hopefully you've all had a fruitful Christmas this year, wherever in the world you are. 

As for Tock and Phanty, we've had a smashing time both with the Lolita community and with the family :3

How do we bowl with all these petticoats?!

The Saturday before Christmas was the Sydney lolita communities' Christmas Meet at a very fancy bowling alley in Darling Harbour. Töck did very well for her very first time at bowling, including scoring a strike and beating Phanty overall [although everyone beat Phanty]!

We also had a fun little gift exchange/lucky dip, where we gave away a fabulous BTSSB handkerchief, and a BTSSB Clockwork Bunny T-shirt that was too small for Phanty. :-p 

The meet organised by Lady Laurabell and Milkyfawn also was visited by Deerstalker Pictures' own Technotropism, and plenty of other familiar faces.

To add to the magical atmosphere, we also got to see Australia's only giant snowglobe, complete with Christmas trees, fake snowmen and fake snow [which actually freaked out both Phanty and Töck, so we didn't go inside it]. Needless to say, it was quite a magical sight. :3

Phanty wears his new wig for the first time!

It's been a long, strange journey for Töck and Phanty, and they're happy to say that the Christmas meet was their favourite meet of the year! Just hanging out with friends, playing games and taking photos can be the most gratifying and amazing experience of the year [although they've gone through quite a lot this year]. 

"I look fatter when I stand like this, don't I Lottie?" Phanty, 2014

The meet was the first opportunity [and hopefully not the last] for Phanty to wear "Kumya-chan's Christmas Holly Night" [what a mouthful!] out in public, which got rave reviews from our peers, and was also featured in our unboxing video which you should check out if you haven't.  

When celebrating Christmas, or attending a meet or celebrating any occasion with others, remember that just speaking to someone, no matter how menial can mean a whole lot to them. Sharing the Christmas spirit is as easy as saying hi and asking them how they're doing. The Sydney community is perhaps the best at doing this. We love you guys! :3 <3

These two shots [above and below] are probably Phanty's favourite of the year.

After the meet, they also got to enjoy Christmas at Töck's house with family and friends! Phanty once again wore the Christmas print and acted as Santa for the year. The gift pile was enormous! Both Phanty and Töck were very spoilt this year. :3

Check out Töck's Christmas tree! (She and Phanty helped decorate it) ^.^ 

Phanty has never seen a gift pile this big.

And Phanty's collection of presents! (Töck was too modest to show off a photo of her gift-pile, but she did receive a black Alice and the Pirates parasol and JSK, headphones and two Hangry and Angry plushies from Phanty). ^.^   

Not pictured: the One Direction Blu-Ray from Lotties' brother Michael, which was burnt, and it's leftovers fed to poodles.

Thank you for sharing a wonderful Christmas with us, and look forward to our end of year post where we'll talk about our favourite moments, our acquisitions throughout the year and the future!

International Lolita Day

Last Saturday was International Lolita Day, and in unison with lolitas all over the world, a special meet-up was organised for the Sydney Community on this day. The theme for this meet was 'Dream Dresses and Favourite Coords,' so Töck wore her Merrymaking in the Ghost Town coord, which she got in maroon because she's originally a Queenslander (Just kidding, :-P she actually originally wanted the black version, but the problem was that everyone ELSE seemed to be after the black version too, she decided to settle for the maroon - and it turned out to be far more gorgeous!) Meanwhile, Phanty came in his navy Twinkle Dreaming Princess coord, which is particularly special to him because it was his second fully completed coord. ^.^

That is a Dr. Seuss original painting behind me ^.^

Please ignore the crooked KC...

Töck, Phanty and other members of the Sydney Comm first congregated at the amazing Vapiano Italian restaurant for lunch before heading off to the Gallery of New South Wales where they fangirled over Rubens and giggled at phallic sculptures. Art curators came over to question the lolitas on artistic meaning and philosophy behind their clothing, and a gorgeous American couple (who instantly seemed to fall in love with these 'Tokyo dolls' as they called them) took some great pictures of them all for their Flickr. ^.^  

*DERP*

Phanty is intrigued...

We've finished our first unboxing video!

We've been meaning to make an unboxing video for a reservation for a while. The perfect opportunity came up with Baby's new print: Kumya-chan's Christmas Holly Night!

I decided to stop being camera shy and make this video as soon as possible, with Töck handling the camera and helping me out with dressing up and telling me what to do. We really enjoyed making this video, and we'd love to do it again. If you like it, please share it with friends!

Enjoy the video!
