My hair is blonde. Dyed blonde.

After nearly 2 years of not touching my hair with any color, I finally got fed up with my natural hair color. So I bleached it.

Bleached the shit out of it. <It only took about 15 minuets to lighten to this color>




I stopped dying my hair in 2009 because I decided that I didn't want to adhere to societal standards of beauty (i.e: the typical "beautiful woman" in the media has platinum blonde hair) So I grew out my natural hair, but as of late I've realized why I dyed it in the first place. 

I now feel so much better about myself. I hated the way my natural hair looked like crap all the time, even when it was styled. The bleach changed the cellular structure of my hair shaft, so hopefully it'll keep styling better. I also picked up some gloss styling serum with the bleach.

PMX 2011

Saturday was the big day. I finally got to wear my dream dress. It is just as spectacular as I thought.



Chelsea and I. We're both wearing Jewelry Jelly. 

Claudia and I, who is also wearing Jewelry Jelly 

These are the girls that I met in San. Diego over the summer! It was great seeing them again. 


And of course, my wonderful boyfriend, who drove me all the way down to LAX just so I could see my friends and parade around in my frills.


In general, I had a nice time at PMX. It was great seeing everyone again. However, there wasn't a lot to do. The Artists Alley only had about 10 vendors when I was there, and the Exhibitors Hall was tiny. GLW was there, which was pretty cool. Atelier Pierrot was there as well, but it's just not my style.
It only spent a fraction of what I thought I would, by buying a blue fuzzy star from Claudia and a black shooting star bow from my friend Judy. It's so cute, and reminds me of Dream Sky.


So December is going to be a pretty busy month, with 6% doki doki coming to Los Angeles. I'm thinking Candy Treat for that.

Circle Lens Review

Today I am going to review my circle lenses. I own 2 pairs, and have started wearing them on an every day basis.

I bought these specifically for lolita, but have found that they enhance my look so much, that they have turned into my normal beauty routine. I haven't started wearing them to work yet, but may start soon.

On to my reviews!


Lens #1: The Dolly Eye: puffy three tones in blue
size: unknown
I bought theses lenses from the dollyeye.com. They were my first pair of lenses.
Here's a photo of them worn in lolita:

Here's a photo of them worn normally:


Comfort: 4/5
I had a little bit of trouble putting them in at first, just because I was pretty inexperienced with contact lenses. They tend to dry out a little easy, but it can be easily dealt with by using eye drops specifically for contacts.
Price: 5/5
For $15 shipped, the price can't be beat.
Shipping: 2/5
While they did only cost $15 shipped for the contacts, it would have taken a really long time for them to get to me. I paid an extra $15 to expedite the shipping, because I needed them in time for PMX. Therefore, in total, I paid $30 for the contacts. Even with the expedited shipping,  it still took about 2 weeks for them to reach me.
Quality: 5/5
I've worn these several times now with no problems. I'm assuming they have a pretty long shelf life, though the website never specified. They are also beautiful and enhance the color of my eyes wonderfully.



Lens #2: Geo Circle Lenses: WTB83
size: 15MM
I bought these from Geo's facebook page.

Comfort: 5/5
These are very easy to put in, and very comfortable for all day wear.
Price: 5/5
I got these for $30 shipped. Not bad for having such huge eye balls.
Shipping: 5/5
Shipping was included in the $30. They were coming from Canada, and got to me (Sothern California) within a week.
Quality: 5/5
I absolutely love these contacts. They make me look cartoon-ish.

So there you have it. My beloved circle lenses.


PMX is next week, and I finally get to wear Jewelry Jelly. I bought a new wig and a new pair of shoes, so I don't have to wear my stupid GLW blue x pink split and chunky ass an*tai*na duck shoes. Hopefully it ends up looking OK!  Stay tuned (non-existant readers) for pictures!
