No more having to buy from overseas, no more having to wait for weeks and weeks to get your beautiful dress, socks or bloomers. Here, in my possession, is the key:

I thank the lolita gods every day that I live on San Fransisco.
I NEED TO SEW SOME SKIRTS AND JSKS ASAP!

Dreamy-Eyed Confessions pt II
Would it be silly to take a break from academia? I mean, after I graduate college. Once I do, I'd have a BA in Psychology...I could do social work and such, though honestly I wouldn't want to. But I would be qualified to do so. I would really love to work in a coffee shop, or be a bartender for a while...in another country of course. A friend has offered to teach me Japanese, and if I study it hard and thoroughly enough, I'd like to work and live in Japan.
Before I go back to school, I want to become more proficient with sewing. Sometime in the semester, I'd like to get my own sewing machine, and some more fabric so that I can start up an Etsy store. I figured if I sold lolita dresses on the cheap, more people would buy, and I could save enough money to travel.
I'd be 21 when I graduate. It's not silly if it's something that I'd want to do...and I'd have a plan to make money and such...it wasn't the original plan, but it would be amazing.

A Dreamy-Eyed Confession
Hello again my loyal readers. Alas, I know I've left this blog to rot but I also haven't had much to write about recently. I sewed up a dress that I need to take in, and I've found some patterns that I want to sew, but I need to find them in a larger size and get some fabric.
This morning, I woke up after 13 hours of sleep, and a dream that my gauges were horribly infected. Luckily, this wasn't true. On the other hand, I was rather depressed, I spent most of the day not eating and moping about...but from that came some good designs for a few lolita-esque clothes. I've decided to participate in a design contest through Bodyline, and if I win, my design will be available in their store and they'll make me a custom one for FREE! I hope to god I win, but some of the desings are really cute...and well I dunno. Here's hoping I win.
In any event, the whole contest thing has started a flurry of creativity within me. I have a few collections in mind, but, as you know, I don't have a store to sell them out of. A friend of mine has been talking about opening a bakery. He said that I could sell my wares there, but I sorta feel as though I'd be incroaching on his dream...
Suddenly, I got a vision of a Victorian parlor full of puffy dresses for sale, coffee, tea, finger sandwitches, and cakes. It was perfect...there would be people on the floor to wait on you hand and food--people experienced in the lolita fashion who would know the difference between kuro and gothic lolita; who would be able to fit you for a proper dress, a corset, shoes and otherwise; and who would, after your purchase, be able to guide you to the cafe area where high tea would be served all day. Upstairs would be my office, a second parlor type area, where I would practice psychology. Complete with chaiz lounges and a Freudian type set up. It'd be amazing~
I'm pretty sure that's what I'd want to do with my life. Sometime later, I'll post picture of my collections...
