[coord] Barbie-core lookbook! video clip

Check out my latest entry on my Barbiecore lookbook video! I came up with 5 very spontaneous pink and Barbie-related outfits and painstakingly created a 4 second video using a soundclip from the Barbie movie. It seriously took hours to make a short video lol. But I love most of the outfits and wanted to share.

I dunno if anyone is actively following this blog, but if you still are, I recommend also following the blog at my domain starsbegantofall.com for lengthier J-fashion posts, such as this "sew with me" post on how I made a low-waist jumperskirt dress with broken zipper into a top and skirt combo that is not as tight!

Stay tuned for worn photos... whenever... It's hot here, okay?

[links] at the domain y'all

 I made a "best of..." link list of my blog entries here for your and my reference on my domain. There is no new content, I just wanted a quick reference to remind me of what I already wrote about since my memory isn't so great in my old age. I do have over 120 posts over several years on this site, so I figured it might be useful especially if the tags aren't specific enough for you.

Make sure to put my domain's blog on your feed reader or favorites list so you are reminded to check back! I will put all of my long form or image heavy posts there first instead of here (unless I feel like it's too personal to archive), but I will post the links here just like in this post, and on tumblr and instagram and twitter occasionally.

[meet/coord] Okashi-con 2023 - J-fashion Mixer!

 I decided to not post this on my domain anyway, I feel like it's kind of personal stuff that doesn't need to be archived forever on a portfolio site. Lol. Anyway, here are some photos from Okashi-con 2023 and related J-fashion recaps!

Okashicon is a small convention in Pflugerville, Texas and emphasizes inclusivity, Japanese street fashion and a safe and welcoming environment for all Japanese culture fans. This year the con invited Japanese guests Haruka Kurebayashi and Sebastian Masuda, along with a handful of western indie brands and vendors. They have a fashion show, several J-fashion panels, a swapmeet and a fashion mixer each year (when able to meet in person) along with the usual anime panels, cosplay contest, tabletop gaming, maid cafe, voice-actor guests, artist alley and dealer's room. If you are even slightly interested in Japanese fashion and kawaii culture and have the means and desire to travel to Texas in the summer, you could do much worse (I mean that literally lol).

One of the panels I went to is the Lolita Loteria! It's basically bingo but with lolita related imagery, some of which were translated to Spanish but some not for entertainment factor. I won the first round and got a cute little sweet!

Unlike a traditional lolita brand-sponsored tea party, the fashion mixer is open to all Japanese street fashions such as lolita, decora, ouji, gyaru, fairy-kei, rave, etcetera. This year's theme is space uchuu, featuring the cutest space girl mascot and very creative table decorations! The favor bags for attendees are hefty ones with tons of space-themed treats and small goodies from the vendors and fashion guests, kudos to the staff for putting it together!
