Hi everyone. Okay, so I've been in the gothic lolita fashion for a couple of years now, and even though I don't have much experience, I think I have managed the basics. But one thing I've noticed is that many people mix the gothic lolita fashion with the American Goth looks. These two looks are completly different.
First of all, the gothic lolita fashion doesn't smear black and blue eyeliner all over the eyes. Unless, your going for the Elegant Gothic Lolita look, created by no other than the precious Mana-sama himself, or anything similiar, really dark lips are not common among the gothic lolita style either. The gothic lolita look is basically very young cute and sweet, so since most 9-10 year olds don't wear pounds of eyeliner, powder and lipstick, the gothic lolita style therefore calls for a more natural look.
Make-up:
The make-up should emphasize perfection but it should be natural. If you have pale skin, you have an advantage because the style your basically aiming for is porcelain doll perfect. If you have dark skin, please don't try to use a lighter foundation or powder on your skin to achieve the pale look because it will just end up lookinglike you've dunked your face in a bowl of flour. Cover any blemishes and try to lighten your nose a little to make it look flatter or slimmer if it is not already.
Your eyes should be big and that could mean circle lenses, eyelid glue, and or fake lashes. If you already have big eyes, then you are very very lucky. Basically, you want to look innocent so keep the eyeliner light. Outline the outsides of your bottom eye. What i always do to get bigger eyes is to start from the midpoint of my eye and draw a straightish line until I reach the end of my line. Then I fill it in. But I have really really really small eyes so I tend to need a bit more liner. For your upper eye, I suggest using fake lashes even though I really dont like them because they irritate my eyes. What I do is just use some dark shadow and shade from the bottom of my eyelid to the crease, making it lighter as I go up.I make the ends of my eyes rounded instead of doing a cat's eye. That means that the top lid and bottom lid kinda conntects to form a roundish shape. It looks more innocent this way I think.
For your lips, I personally stain it with black cherries or strawberries or something. I think that it looks more natural if you are careful and give your lips a proper stain. Lip gloss is a bit too unnatural for this but lip tint works very well in this situation if cherries are unavailable. The idea is to give your lips a natural pink red colour....
When you dress up, make sure you cover up. No stomach or leg should be showing and its a good idea to cover up your chest a little. WEAR STOCKINGS. Yes, i love stockings because I'm sensitive about showing my legs....I don't know why though. Wear dark colours like black, dark blue and even dark red. Dark green in my opinion is also a good colour if it is worn properly. remember that you are supposed to be a high class and aristocratic young girl. My personal favourites are poofy skirts and lace gloves. If you do not have a poofy skit, just layer a lot of skirts and put the most lolita one on top. :) Most lolitas prefer Mary Jane shoes but I happen to like really big chunky books that are laced up. Perhaps I'm more Punk Lolita. Indeed if you want to go for a more punky looks, wear chains and skulls. Yes, I always piss off store owners by asking them if they sell things with skulls and chains. They end up staring at me weirdly and not giving me discounts on clothes. But anyways, the main point for Gothic Lolita is to looks young, cute and innocent so I guess Mary Janes are the best choice in this situation even though they are not my favourite. I suggest things with frills and bows in the end because they look cute. Also, teddy bears or creepy looking stuffed animals are a great addition to your outfit. remeber that you still kinda have to look and act dark. Rejoice in misery and smile at tears. Put on a fake demure smile hiding your devilish personality while looking like a cute angel.
Behave with the ettiquette of a lady. Be cleans, wash your hands, use light herbal perfume. Always smile at others and speak with a low voice. Hide your evil side with your sweet looks and charm. Even when someone is rude to you, smile and be polite to them while you plot revenge in your mind. Always have your nails perfectly done in preferablly black or even french manicured. You can always frustrate angry people with your demure smile and childish looks. Always remain calm and collected.
So, those are the basics of the Gothic Lolita fashion. I'm not sure how this turned into a tutorial-ish thing but I'm kinda trying to avoid playing piano here so I'm stalling a little. My mommy thinks's I'm doing work...heehee.
Okay, I've stalled long enough.

Hi everyone
So I discovered this new manga cdalled Uzumaki about a month ago and I must say that it contains some very scary shit in there. It's basically about this smallish town that gets cursed with this spiral thingy. And some of u might be thinking wut can a spiral possibly do but apparently spirals can do really scary stuff.
The story starts off with this girl and her really creepy boyfriend and this creepy's dude's daddy got obsessed with the spiral for some reason. So he starts twisting his tongue around to make a spiral and taught himself to roll his eyes in spirals. Then he starts horking down those cute fishcakes in the ramen that naruto is so fond off and so on. The he completly loses it and orders a bathtub in which he tried to fit himself in the shape of a spiral. Obviously, the human body is not designed to be bent into a spiral shape so after porobably breaking all the bones in his body and going into shaock, the daddy tragically dies.
Then the creepy dude's mom starts getting scared of the spiral and starts getting rid of all the spirals around her including her hair, fingerprints, and the swirly thingy inside ur ear...the cochlea or something like that. So obviously the mommy dies cuz she just destroyed her sense of balance and everything and then the whole village staarts getting cursed with the spiral. :)
This manga has some really really scary pictures and its actually very disturbing. But after a while u kinda forget that everything happens because of a spiral. But I must say that the main girl of the story is quite stupid. If i lived in some town in which a man died cuz he tried to be a spiral...I'll probably leave..........
So if u like distrubing and bloody pictures...u should totally read this manga. The much honoured mangaka ( I forgot his name) also wrote a manga called Gyo and a mini manga called the enigma of amigara fault or soemthing. Yes....he has quite a twisted mind
So I hope u enjoy this awesome manga and be disturbed. :) =^.^=
Yay!!! Cute kitty
Okay

Okay, so I seem to make a habit of making posts at like 3 in the morning while I'm like half drunk but thats okay.
Ya, its like my second post because Ive been really lazy and neglecting my new blog...not that anyone would really care thats much. Ohoho, my friend just knocked over a pile of pencil crayons...okay sry.
well um... yesterday or something I went to watch the Harry Potter movie and it was actually pretty good. It wasnt like the fifth movie which was like wut the f*** is this piece of shit (sry to all those 5th movie fans) that I'm watching??? well, it was a good movie and the ending almost made me cry so yes... Well it was a good movie and u should watch it...or else...okay.

okay, well anyways...that was my friend...who stole my tea...and now I'm sleepy cuz Im like lacking caffine...I'll probably get another tea hangover soon...okay.
yes...today I went to buffet king...and stole a lot of sushi. The sushi was super good and the service was really good even though some really snobby ppl rated the buffet king service to be really bad. I remember last time I went to buffet king me and my friends were blasting music and everyone was staring at us...yeah...it was awkward. But the sushi was good and the shrimp dumpling was very squishy...heehee. and they had lime sherbet...which I really like.
Okay, I'm off to go get another hangover and sleep all day tommorrow. I have to start summer school soon and I'm pissed cuz it seems like a bullshit course but I still have to waste my freaking time. So now I guess I'll go ask my friends wat was on the exam and just not study. Honestly wat can u possibly learn in two freaking weeks.
OKay...I should go...see my friend get burned by really hot caffine...bye bye to all those reading this...which isnt a lot of pppl but thats okay

Hi everyone!!! My name is Kana Junichi....yes. So its my first post and i'm doing this at like 3:00 am but thats okay. So...facts about me. You already know my name (sort of) and I'm a high school student...in Canada. Uhh, I'm really into visual kei and I;m kinda pissed off that all the good visual kei ppl are going mainstream and losing thier awesome sound and look just to impress fans. Like seriously, it makes me mad. My favourite band is Vidoll...yes their awesome...go check them out...the lead singer's really cute. They used to be very unique and make really cool music but now they are more mainstream. Nevertheless, their still pretty cool. Okay, and then there's the regular vk bands like The GazettE, Dir en Grey, Exist Trace which is like my new addiction, Girugamesh, Versailles, Malice Mizer, Gackt....if you still consider him VK, Miyavi in a way, Deluhi...the drummer's got skills. I'm also into lolita music....like Kanon Wakeshima...and Ali Project, and that girl who wrote Last Moment whose name I forgot. Then there's Emilie Autumn and her Victorian music which I really like. ^.^ Yes...I really like music...but i suck at it. Well, moving on.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I play really bad piano, and really slow guitar, I sing...I guess and I draw ( dead things...haha kidding) and yeahhhhhhhhhh. Sry, It's like 3 am. Okayy...I should stop now. So.......Check out my blog thingy for my posts....and support Visual Kei stuff. Heheheheehhehehehe
* Oh just on a side note...I really cant stop myself and you porbably dont care. But I heard from my friend that Uruha from The GazettE has a girlfriend!!!! Wahhhhhhh. Yes, apparently he did an illegal u-turn or some shit and then he got a ticket from the police and the police looked int he window and saw a girl and now i'm really sad cuz Uruha is really cute even though he's drunk half the time even thoiugh he claimes that he doesn't guzzle down drinks or anything but i swear his eyes light up when he sees liqour. It's like Staff: Hey we just got some wine. Uruha: *Eyes likght up and turns around violently* " REALLY???" *digs around box until he finds his favourite whiskey* hahaha. Okay. I'll stop now. Bye byes !!!! <3
