The Aging Process (Whats my age again?)

{C2E2 afterparty tickets for Saturday are on sale tomorrow at the <redacted due to issues> booth in Chicago!}

I usually like to blog about things or events that were made and carried out, but, I have been realizing that I am not the young hesitant young gal anymore. I am almost so close to getting my Bachelors of Fine Arts at Columbia College Chicago and trying to get some art shows going. It might be a while til I am super well known from my paintings (which would be part of my decadent dream come true!) but I am trying to get there this year. Hence why I am only popping in and out of a few gal comms at this moment.

 If I were a gal in Japan, I'd probably have a baby by now and looking a bit more normal and working somewhere normal. If I'm lucky, I might have my own clothing line like Kaoru Watanabe or my own cosmetics line like Tsubasa Masakawa. However, I am a black gyaru in America, in the Windy City, still going to college and trying to figure out what's happened, happening, and going to happen in my life.

During those times when I have to realize what I am doing seems to come natural now, but yet so foreign, , it makes me feel so much older than I remember. I bought a magazine just for the gift it had since it was so peculiar to me in a funny marketing tactic kind of way, and it turned out to be a magazine for less extravagantly dressed women who were into maybe a more "normal" lifestyle! It was looking into a magazine of what I could have chosen to look like, but I didn't.

More mag's gift.

(travel toothbrush, rinsing cup,cute drawstring pouch, and mirror).

I  guess I can be fancy when I go traveling?

Some of the coords are decent, but some do not call to me at all like how Blenda, Jelly, Ageha, and now Edge*S usually does for me now. But, they do have good tips on doing your eyebrows and also cooking tips and bento arrangements for healthy eating. 

Well, I have to get back to these projects that I think you guys might enjoy :P . Too many projects, Not enough time.

Keisha of SG also interviewed me for the sight as well about my fashion and lifestyle and my personal opinion on it.

April

So, its almost the end of April. Trying to push it with school, the finish line is in sight. Just can't let go of my drive. I NEED to get out of Columbia! ha.

Starting to collect gal mag freebies!/whats in my purse (gal side) 

Style for a Mitsuwa outing. I wish I could get a better pic of the hoodie from Berning Sho from my oppa! Its so badass!

Did my nails. 

I currently am in the process of revamping a lot of things (blog, banner, youtube,better content). So there will be posts here and there but I am trying to clean up everything and get some projects gal wise out there!

I also have another youtube vid and other vids waiting to be edited too. I will also be posting a new Gal Story/Reflection soon!

Also, for all my Chicago peeps, I will be at the SugarGamers's C2E2 after party this Saturday night! Buy your tickets at the SugarGamers booth!

Lets have a lil fun together!

GalLuxy Weekend recap!

Man, with finals around the corner, I almost forgot to post about the weekend!
Here is a quick post! I have more to show, but it will be shown a bit later and it's part of a secret project. ;)

Our Me2 preview made by Purin!

Purin and I's nails

Purin and I rode the Greyhound. It was.... not that impressive to be honest. 

On Friday, we warmed up and wound down at Oasis Hot Tub Gardens In Ann Arbor. They tried to charge us more before we wanted to relax, and one of the front desk ladies, or man?, was very rude to us! 

Mama Kai, me and Bulaklak's Coco!

Group shot with a teacher of the college in Ann Arbor

Kai is our Sith gal!

Pepa, Purin and I played the Para Para Paradise game! 

Being silly

Eep! I was caught doing a mini gyaru interview to Pepa's friend Katie. 

Gyaru doing a gyaru photoshoot!

Also, if you have gyaru related clips, you can participate in the Gaijin Gyaru Awards!

yahoo!

me! lol

For today....



I was at Woodfield Mall trying to pick out the last pieces of an outfit I needed to get for the Gal*Luxy Midwest me2 up in Michigan with my partner! I also checked and talked to people around the mall. I really liked this art gallery here, and I hope to have some of my works hanging there too for an exhibit and not just in downtown Chicago !! I hope I can do some art shows or SOMETHING before I get out of college. Well besides stuff that my art teacher put me in.

For Beauty gets...

My lashes came from Dtan! She was sellign packs before she went to China, I think for an internship! Way to go gal! She will not be taking any orders until she is back in the states, and is a nice way to get a few styles which I think is a plus in my eyes.

\

These are crappy pictures, but Yay! cute little gifts and a cute note for being one of her regular customers for the Lash Packs!

Thanks Dtan! Plus, I like the idea of doing custom packs with her because... You get variety! You get to try out different styles, or try out something new without wasting a full pack of lashes if you bought them instore! 

Ms. Pepa herself!

By the way, this me2 up, It is Pepa's second (?) gal event coordination in the midwest, and I bet it will be just as awesome! She has that old school flair and sassiness that I LOVE that some new gals do not seem to have. She also has that passion for the older styles and how it seemed bold and fun and carefree and into having get togethers! That is why I wanted to be in a galcir with her!!

I am so happy that we started to talk to each other I think she is sooo badass to me!

Plus...

Nami and Tomo's dog trying to wake me up when I slept over?

Or watching me...while I pretend to take pix of him?

I hope you guys will look forward to our first Gyaru Me2 Up posts!!
