Jumpstart into Spring!

What a great weekend. It was lovely weather and full of great friends! On Friday night I dragged everyone out to the midnight release of the New Moon DVD. But I got more than just the movie! new cookbooks for my tea parties. Yes I couldn't wait till the next day and of course I had to wear Lolita. I went with a dark classic dress, it fit the evening.

On Sat we hit the woods for a hike in the great weather. How I miss hike everyday. When I was a kid I went up the mountain almost everyday. It's hard for me now and Nathan went up in full chain-mail...oh larpers.

And finally Sunday was nice as well and I had to dress Lolita again...yes I need to share.

Do we dream to escape reality or do we escape reality to dream?

So I picked up a new manga the other day(not a surprise). I am really enjoying it. There are two volumes out at the moment, second one was released just before the Alice in Wonderland movie so that might be why it caught my eye (good marketing Tokyopop).

Anyways I wanted to share a conversation between Alice and a character Nightmare that hit me:
Alice: There's nothing beyond a dream. They just end.
Nightmare: Exactly. When you wake up from a dream, there's nothing left but reality.

They were talking about how dreams can be scary but maybe waking up from them is scarier? I personally live for dreaming. Without my daydreams the day would just be boring. Sometimes I love the thought of just living in a dream, because I believe in anything is possible then. Maybe it's just because my dreams are filled with castles and dragons and knights, but I never want to leave them or not believe in them.


Anyways I leave you with a picture of one of my new outfits!


Blouse and Jumper: Bodyline

Artist, Lryics, Outfit 1

So the other day I was staring at my closet and started to think about what would I wear if I was going to "insert event here." So I have decided to do posts about some of the music artist I would love to see and the outfit I would wear to their concerts. I'm going to start with what I would have to say is my all time favorite musician, Emile Autumn. http://www.myspace.com/emilieautumn She has such an unique voice and creates such a haunting sounds. She also has a crazy style that I would love to wear!


One of my favorite songs is "Misery Loves Company" Here are the lovely lyrics:
It's not the time
It's not the place
I'm just another pretty face
So don't come any closer
You're not the first
You're not the last
How many more?
Don't even ask
You're one more dead composer

Do I need you?
Yes and no
Do I want you?
Maybe so
You're getting warm
Tou're getting warm
You're getting warmer oh
Did you plan this all along
Did you care if it was wrong
Who's getting warmer now
That I'm gone

Misery loves company
And company loves more
More loves everybody else
But hell is others

I'm not for you
You're not for me
I'll kill you first
You wait and see
You devil undercover
You're not a prince
You're not a friend
You're just a child
And in the end
You're one more selfish lover

Do I need you?
Yes and no
Do I want you?
Maybe so
You're getting warm
You're getting warm
You're getting warmer oh
Did you plan this all along
Did you care if it was wrong
Who's getting warmer now
That I'm gone

Misery loves company
And company loves more
More loves everybody else
But hell is others

You're so easy to read
But the book is boring me
You're so easy to read
But the book is boring me
You're so easy to read
But the book is boring
Boring boring boring boring
Boring boring me

Pray for me
If you want to
Pray for me
If you care
Pray for me
If you want to
Pray for me
If you dare
Pray for me
If you want to
Pray for me
If you care
Pray for me
If you want to
Pray for me you fucker
If you fucking dare

Misery loves company
And company loves more
More loves everybody else
But hell is others


This I what I would wear. Both dress and bloomers are Bodyline. Note my Hello Kitty band-aid on my right hand, I got hurt at work again! I wish that Emile would come and do a whole tour in the US. She has only come to NYC a few times. Go and listen to her music
