I'm up super late working on a portfolio piece for class. I have been really studying and working on quite a bit of projects and assignments that I feel will be a nice example of how I have grown as a person and as an artist. I just really cannot wait for the March gyaru meet for Midwest gals to wind down a bit.
Thinking on it, it seems like a long time since when I wanted to be in Colulu Lovelies and got into Diamond Gyaru sa instead. A longer time when Black*Cherry was born with Tomo, La, Murphy and myself in a Chipotle in Oak Park Chicago. An even longer time when I first saw the FIRST Chicago based gyaru sa, Kamikaze, with Tomo, La, and Murphy, and wanted to be in them when I first became a gyaru back in around 2007.
The scene seemed so different to me, and was not just about girls dressing a certain way for just attention, but the want to connect to other gals and have FUN.
I can go on about this, but maybe it will have to be for another time.
I also am practicing my photoshop skills, and asked Rii of Utsukushii Gal blog to edit one of her photos. I admired her style back in the day, and I think she has matured into a beautiful mature gal!
I saw her recent photos even had that sweet, mature look I see in mags like Blenda or Jelly. So I wanted to mess around with one of her pictures, and make them look as if she were in one of those magazines. I always liked to mess around with photo editing and try to produce a nice effect or image. I hope you guys and gals will like it! And I hope she does too!!
I should be sleeping soon~
Good Night~

2013-03-05 to 03-08
On Saturday, Purin and her boyfriend and my partner chilled at Mitsuwa. It was pretty fun, and we dressed up despite the cold! I found some cosplayers who I hope to see at Acen too.
You can also check out her post for this day here.
Sunday, Purin and I had a photoshoot with a friend, David of DSA Photography. It was a very cute themed shoot! It was a first for David to do something with a lighter theme, and it was my first time doing a little art directing and helping with the photos and such.
Monday night, I and my partner got dressed up to go to a Muse concert. He got us vip tickets, and it was a very exciting experience! Simply put, Muse was awesome. I have not heard a lot of music from them since I was in high school, so seeing them at the United Center with all the fog and people was mind blowing.
Also, I have a kind of big blog post about my gal journey and my thoughts! I hope my readers will like it. :)
Thank you for letting me take your photo!
Sweet Purin and Tough Lisha
At the food court~

I really wish I could have gotten a good pic of my outfit! oh well. It was just a corset, and black shiny look leggings.

Catch Up
I have been super busy and totally forgot to post pictures up for valentines! Being a member of Gal*luxy, I had a theme blog post for my gyaru sa, Gal*luxy to share with other gals around the world how we spend our time with our loved ones. Whether they are friends, friends we treat as our own family, family, or our lovers.
Here were some of my picture that I did not upload of my Chicago based gyaru sisters.
We shared a light snack before we got to some light core partying.
You can check out our gyarusa's blog about what we did for Valentine's day here!
I hope you enjoy!
I also have been becoming a bit more organized due to working in an office setting. gah... It can be a little stressful but I think I have been keeping up with my planners...
For my personal (gyaru/school) life, I am trying to use school as my way to dress more gyaru like. Sometimes I am pretty casual with my look (band shirt and jeans, but I think that with my hair looking a bit styled and with a full face of makeup and lashes, I feel more passable these days. ;)
As for gal mags, I bought Edge*s and Ageha. Ageha is as photoshopped and glittery as ever, and Edge*s has some nice style inspiration. I have been trying to get into more styles that will reflect a cool, sassy, alternative, mature for myself when I am not kicking it with my gal sisters.
I also got a gift too yesterday that cheered me up! Sanrio goodies from a cutie pie! I am a S U C K E R for Kuromi goods!
Also doing a different hair regiment as well! No more relaxers!
