Day Out~

Yesterday on Saturday I went out shopping, finally for once with my lil' bro. We went all over downtown and had sushi I picked up my Honey Wing series colored contacts too.

It was kinda annoying how everyone kept staring at me yesterday at the mall... Probably because I was wearing torn leggings (you know like Lady GaGa-style) and I couldn't even tell if the stares were bad or good. Some were intrigued, others seemed bitchy and some even glanced down, smirked to themselves and rudely pointed. But none of that happened when I was in the heart of the city where EVERYONE or at least MOST people are fashionable.

Doesn't that piss you off sometimes? If I wore things like this, Ageha-style or even gyaru, I'll get stared at a lot. Especially the city I live in, which is... more or less closer to rural areas. "Red-neck" town as some like to refer to it. But when I'm in Asian cities or really urban places (like high-end districts too), it's ok. Though a bunch of Chinese girls consistently glances at me at the mall. You can't even tell if they're being rude or not. Just an expressionless face, but they have creases in their eyebrows and their eyes are kinda like... "WTF~" You know what I mean? That look. Everyone can walk by perfectly fine but once you catch sight of me it's like... Immediate attention. Seriously screw off. They act like I'm wearing something totally out there like neon green pants or something. These stuff aren't just limited to celebrities or models on runway you know. It's the same when I wear a garter or stocks with garter belts. They scoff and go, "Aren't those for under your clothes? And they're supposed to be for weddings/proms!" Says who? JFC?!

This is why I wish I was in Japan ASAP... Where people are always fashionable and if you're not, you stand out like a sore thumb. Reversed roles.

Art and Interview~

It's been awhile since I CG-ed anime characters... Especially one that's actually GOOD! I went into the chibi drawing phase due to laziness and gave up on more detailed work. This is my contest entry for an anime convention this summer~ Hopefully it'll win and I can add this event to my portfolio~!

I just recently got interviewed for a German newspaper too, about me being an age-jo. If it publishes I can use that for my fashion designing folder as well! x)

Speaking of which, I REALLY need to get off my butt and apply for college. (It's been a 2 year break since high school). God... But I seriously hate interviews. Job interviews, fine. But for getting into college, somehow it's more pressure and I get super nervous.

Ageha Rakuten Shop & Shibuya109

Ah, I was so happy when my package came in today with the shoes I bought for my mom and the rhinestone belt buckles I bought from MA*RS! The shoes were from the Ageha shop and the belts from Shibuya 109 online shop. I used a friend on LJ's shopping service because Celga charges way too much. And well... the prices are pretty reasonable but in the end the shipping was hella crazy! About $40-45 CAD~ For registered airmail from Singapore to here. Of course that's a normal case, especially for a big heavy shoebox but I was hoping to opt for a cheapter method. Didn't get to tell her in time before she sent it off. Man, that hurts my wallet...

The heels ended up being way too tall for my mom to use LOL! It's 11cm's and she said she can't walk in them. So she's going to pass them off to me. But it's a small and I'm a medium so I just barely fit it. My heel is like 1cm off. I told her to wear it only on special occasions like weddings or something. I won't wear these everyday... They're going to kill me from the height and just barely fit my feet! It's kinda comfy though, not super painful like some other heels just by putting them on. But after 30mins... I'm done.

These are the buckles!

These are just a pair of shorts I designed after ones by MA*RS. Spent the night cutting them up from a pair of cheap ones and added on the lace on the side. I bought a garter and am going to wear it with the belts so it looks like the original ones~

Those ones aren't that bad and I wanted to buy them... About 8000 - 10,000yen but with the service charges it would eventually go up to $160 CAD for a pair of shorts so... I made my own instead!
