My Tel Aviv Dreaming

Click to read about my dream-holiday. 

But BEWARE, because:

1) it´s picture-heavy

2) It´s not a fashion post, you´ll see me in sweatshirt

2) there are my super-amateur videos too

3) I am sometimes being too sentimental

SoLolita almost head to toe... without being a lolita (Sponsored review)

Hello! Let´s go to VOLUME 2 post about what came in my last SoLolita parcel.

With the lavender wig there were 2 beautiful bracelet-rings and cute over-knee socks.

I wore it all for my photoshoot with my photographer friend Ketmara.

this is a little recapitulation of all my SoLolita items - I really think I can choose well :)

Black Lace Nonwoven Flower with Pearls Lolita Bracelet

A rather gothic lolita item, a bracelet with detailed black butterfly, passes into a victorian ring. Elegant and classy, yet dramatic accessory. I wore it in black -white combination, together with another piece of my SoLolita stuff - Over knee lolita socks, that you can find at their web as:

Cute Pop Personality White Stripes Dots Lolita Knee Stockings 

First I was worried about the socks, having already some unpleasant experience from random shops that sell lolita socks: Usually, what was meant to be over knee socks (It was! On a tiny, thin Asian model) was under-knee socks on me. My legs of average (I am quite slim and not very tall) proportions always used to deform the cute lolita designs, so Milky-Chans became mutant and lolipops were oval instead of round! Only my skinny legged friends wore these socks and looked normal.

BUT NOT THIS TIME!- see, these socks suit me, are long enough and elastic enough...

Gorgeous Four Red Rose and A Big Flower Lolita Bracelet

This beauty was my love at first sight with instant "I-NEED-THIS"- kind of reaction!

I love the four rings - a rose on each finger, like those knuckle tatoos with LOVE or HATE written on one´s fingers. The rose rings are all adjustable, of course, so they´ll fit the middle finger as well as the little one. Four chains connect them with really HUGE red rose on your wrist.

I can wear it with goth, streetwear or something crazy boho- and in all cases it makes a cherry on top of the outfit. BEHOLD!

Sideshow Cheerleader (outfit,DYI)

Freaks 1932 are my favourite movie and the chant "Gooble Gobble, one of us" is not only creepy as f*ck, but also it´s an incredibly strong chant of acceptance - of being different. I felt like having a shirt with it is a MUST, so I made myself one. The font I used and the design with stars is ironically similar to sport t-shirt designs, because I love the idea of Gooble Gobble being remixed and filmed into a fight chant with freakish cheerleaders dancing with pompoms...:) !

My outfit is basically inspired by 1950 ´s fashion - something like Grease´s pink ladies would wear in  parallel reality, where freaky is normal and "normal" is weird - exactly like in the Freaks movie.

I designed the motif in InDesign, printed it out, cut with scissors and use as a template for handwriting with textile colour. I used basic H&M asymetric long top.

I also made a "REDRUM" shirt, a homage to King and Kubrick and their immortal classic The Shining. I´ll sow you next time.

Now a little more to Freaks. For my art exhibition I had in January I made 3 photographic self portraits impersonating Freaks characters - which were real people in 1930´s circus freakshow bussiness. I am fascinated by their lives and stories so much.

I used myself as a model because it was an inner experience for me to impersonate them. To feel like Daisy and Violet Hilton who are never alone, or like Josephine - neither woman nor a man, or like Elvira and Jennie Lee the pinheads, who are little girls in wonderland that never grew up though they are 30.

So here "they" are - all stylings/manips by me.

Sisters Elvira and Jennie Lee Snow

Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton

Androgynous Josephine Joseph 

Feel free to comment - on the movie, or the self portraits, or the outfit - I really appreciate your words :3

Shironuri (look)

Today I´m showing you my firt attempt at Shironuri style. I painted my face white and put on some laces and pastels for my lecture at J-Culture at Pragoffest 2014. This is by the way THAT event, that got me together with my man three years ago:).
I had two lectures / presentations, one on Shironuri and one on wigs in lolita/cosplay/japanese street styles. It was such a great weekend!

Easter

Today I´m sending my outfit for a Hell Party 7, which was last weekend, as well as some photos from the event itself, altrough I didn´t photograph much. My look is inspired by Easter. Crucifixion, flowers in blooms
and all that stuff. Minus the eggs, bunny rabbits and ducklings :)

As I write this, I feel like listening to this wonderful Easter song - Easter by Patti Smith. Gorgeous!

More outfit photos under the cut, this post is quite image heavy and prepare yourself for a little blood too.

Kitch-iolina (daily outfit)

My DYI flower wreath and flower-decorated shoes have finally been worn together.

Lately I surround myself with kitschy things, paint kitschy pictures, take kitschy photos, so I naturally have urge for a dose of kitsch in my closet as well. This is my take on neo-pop in fashion. 

I am sort of borrowing the image of long blonde hair with flower wreath from Jeff Koon´s muse, italian porn-star and senator in one person, Ciciolina. 

And yeah, I do look like a tacky hippie barbie with a touch of fairy-kei.

More photos under the cut!

My boyfriend´s boyfriend (Daily outfit)

A little cleaning of the closet brought its fruit. I found an epic vintage outfit.
