Hair Horns Tutoral



Sorry it's messy, I can't help my layers!!
Deffo recommended for One layer hair if you want to do all of your
hair like this, otherwise, use the top layer for a half-up do.

I will be back on sunday! Also AV tutorials soon as long as my eyelashes
arrive!

Permanent Straightening

Heya all!

So as some of you may know, I am getting Extensions next week!

In order for this all to go to plan and look awesome, I have had
my hair permanently straightened!

I went to Stage One salon in Brighton yesterday afternoon & 
had it done by one of their lovely senior stylists. 

The salon is really cute and modern, themed after a dressing room
as it is situated next door to the Backstage doors of the 'Theatre Royal'
in Brighton.

The process took 2 & 1/2 hours with a blowdry and head massage
and I can tell you it was well worth it. It's now just past the 24th hour
and It's pretty damned straight! I can't wait for tomorrow evening 
to wash it and put on a hair mask to make my roots less frazzled :S

Haha - sorry I don't look my best - Just in my Ma*rs PJs lounging in bed!

The main bulk of my hair is still extremely soft, just the roots where I 
recently bleached them feel like Shredded Wheat.... :'D 

Been through the rain today with an umbrella and hat, I dont think any got on 
my hair but I blow-dried it a little anyway when I got home.

Also received my NYX Candy Glitter Liner in the post today!
(not my photo - mine was rubbish!!)

It's a lot more watery than I expected, but wow it dries quickly
and leaves a good amount of glitter on your eyelid so I am pleased!

Bit of a shite picture but you can see it at least! ^^;;

I will be doing a Makeup tutorial finally this Saturday or Sunday
as I am getting tanned Friday night again! WOOOO. 
I don't like being pasty any more ;___;

For the tutorials, I am focusing on more "Extreme" styles,
If there are any AV Actresses/models/Shop-staff you want
to see tutorials of - ↓↓please suggest in comments below!!↓↓

Seeing my lovely friends + the 1st week of freezing weather

I went to see my friends from Middlesbrough on Sunday up in London <3
The the night before I stayed over at my Dad's house and felt all
....Blegh.... 
I was still ill (still am a little) and started this horrible cough
even though I slept in an amazing bed! (TWO MATTRESSES!!)

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures whilst in London,
we were too busy nattering on about Musicals and our favourite performers! 
They showed me this amazing shop behind Shaftsbury Ave. called
"Dress Circle". I managed to get this revival copy of the Tanz der Vampire
OST!!
WOOO! 
Tomas Borchert is Krolock in this version as its the Wein revival,
but meh, it's better sound quality than my other recording I have on my laptop. 
I also pre-ordered Jan Ammann's solo album from them... :D 
I love him sooooo much! Such a beautiful and talented man!

If anyone else likes TDV or German Musicals, Or Takarazuka I'd love to know
which Musicals are your favourite and/or your fave performers!

We then ate at Pizza Hut, and took some purikura! I DO have these actually!
As you can guess by the pictures - it was our "friendiversary"! 
ahh the purikura machine is sooo old now in London. 
Makes me sad - the place should get new, WORKING ones.

We then parted ways :( and I went back home to attempt to get well.

It hasn't really worked. I keep on coughing so badly, I just need to get better
for my little holiday on the 23rd! 
Today was a dress-down day for charity at work, so I decided to go all
bohemian-y n shit... lol 
You can see my new Marie lanyard as well! yay~<3
with my little headband on to keep me, mildly, warm.

OH there is also this adorable cat that keeps following me home from work!
He kept on moving though so I couldn't take a good picutre...

Apart from that, I cant wait to lose more weight!
I've been following this plan:
and I have lost 2kg already! You have to really follow it
(well I have been replacing any beef with beans or more fish as I 
dont eat meat) and exercise - obviously. 
Hopefully will lose up to 8kg like it says. Lol. well. I freaking hope
so anyways. 7kg left to go!! 





Fairylash & Diamond Lash review


Thank you for watching!
Yay it's in widescreen finally~
Please tell me what you think. and lol I need video editing tips too ;__;

AV Gyaru @ MCM Expo?!

Hey readers,
I got my weekend coverage for you with a good few shots!

So as I may have mentioned, I was working all of Expo this
past weekend for TokyoBookstore.com .
I was to be their "booth girl" as always :P

So on Friday morning, I got up super-early and after making sure
my new tan was okay, and curling my hair - I caught the train to London.

Friday I dressed like an AV Nurse! I saw a couple DVDs and really wanted
to use my MA*RS stuff and go OTT on it.
my result:


This was "my" half of the stalls, selling all the sex toys, badges and manning the Raffle.
(Looking at that picture of Moka - I really wish I had her boobs...)
I also ended up in this outfit on Sunday, but It didn't look as great :(

The Friday was pretty quiet for a convention, so that's why there were lots of photos taken.
Saturday was waaaaaaay busy though. I wore something a little more practical but still sexy.

I had seen these pictures



And found that someone was selling the same tutuHA top - so I jumped that sale and bought it.
Alex had ripped and distressed a pair of shorts I bought & lent me his gold Diavlo belt,
which was very nice of him,
and then I wore it with these huge-ass platforms that eventually just hurt. haha!
myself with my other lovely friend named Alex,
With Steve as Rinzler (lol I gave up on wearing shoes at this point!)
lastly, just a mirror-shot in our hotel.

Over-all, it was a really fun, but super-tiring event to work at this time round.
I am really glad my work everyday at the gym had started to pay off, so I am
happy with these pictures now <3

Still looking to be my perfect measurements by Xmas of:
84-58-88cm so not really that long to go. I'm not going by weight this time,
as some muscle is a good thing. As long as I don't end up looking like
a right Powerhouse.

Two things I've learnt with this dark tan, is that I shouldn't highlight my nose,
as it looks huge! and the other being that my eyebrow powder wasn't dark enough LOL.

Tell me what you girlies & guys think, and I will improve as much as I can.


Cat-walking and New Nails

Evening all!

This weekend was absolutely killer~ <3
I went to visit one of my good friends as we were
going to go walk her cats on the beach!!

This is "Sushi"...
and that's me walking "Spooky"!
I tried to get a better pic of her here:
But she moves around an awful lot haha. 

I also wanted to show you my outfit from last week!
I got a few new bits for winter and I love how comfy they all are!

On Sunday, I looked at the Autumn sales in Lipsy, and found
an awesome top!! Got it in a larger size so it was ruurrrl baggy
Paired it with my tutuha necklace, grey shorts + tights and then my new Primark booties.
I also did "Natsuhmi"'s makeup inm pink + Turquoise. It came out okay, but I look retarded
in the photos I took of it....

As you can probably see in the pictures there, I got a new nail set - FINALLY.
I really love them! Might make them a little more pointy for Expo though this weekend.
Done once again by the lovely Asaka.

Have a good Evening/Day and i'll write again soon <3

Styles I love

Evening readers~<3

It has to be said; I think that one of my top
fashion goals is to look like Barbie. 
Mainly for her face, always looking immaculate, 
and having a "killer" body. 

But also because she can be anything,
can strive to look her best in anything no matter
what time of year. I would love to accomplish that.

So, styles that really call out to me are:

Glam Barbie/Preppy style
Clueless and Legally Blonde are two of my most favourite films. 
I really hoped that it would inspire more fashion to be 
replicating Barbie-esque clothes. Alas, I haven't seen this 
everywhere, and have to really search for bits outside of Japan.

Rokku-kei


No matter whether it's on Girls or Guys, I love this style, and
the people who can pull it off correctly.
Now with Ora-ora style making it's uproar in the Gyaru community,
It may be that Rokku-kei is waning. I just freaking love the hair
and accessories though!!! RAWR. (and makeup...)

Ero-kawa/Pheremone-Kei/The AV girl look(s)



Lots of examples there to show you the styles. Obviously, from above
you can see I favour being very tanned. I think this is a complex
because I am naturally so pale LOL.
For Ero-kawa, I see a lot of D.I.A, Lip Service, MA*RS, GOLDS∞ and more
recently - tutuHA.
Ero-kawa in general is how it sounds - "Erotic" & "Cute".
MA*RS would be an "Ero-kawa" brand. Golds Infinity are more
Psyche, Pheremone-kei in general, but definitely the Ero-kawa element
is there in most of their items. D.I.A and tutuHa are one in their
own, but they stand out with their very sexy items.

Anyway - now onto my lovely readers!
What are your favourite sub-styles of Gal? Write them in the comments
↓↓BELOW↓↓

A big apology + Gal meet!

My lovely readers,

I hope you accept this apology of not blogging.
I have no excuse apart from I guess, of just 
concentrating on going to the gym. 

I've been trying to improve myself for the upcoming
MCM Expo, and I haven't put in the effort I wanted to here.

I lost a follower today, which makes me sad, only one person
but it gave me a kick up the backside to start again! 

I will post today/tonight when I am at my bf's house. 

I LOVE YOU ALL, OKAY?  

And if you are able, please come along and visit P.M and/or
myself at Expo~!

Super-fun Saturday!!

I was going to upload this from my phone
then realised I can't position the pictures...

SO.

Saturday was cool, I made a little meet-up thing that gave tips
to people interested in Gyaru and/or just improving their makeup skills!

Unfortunately I will have to get the final results of the makeovers I did
from my friend's camera as the iphone pictures I took were pretty awful...

After a few hours of contouring and eyelash-applying (lulz) we went to the 
Vietnamese restraunt, "Pho" in the South Lanes for some dinner
As Doudou and I hadn't eaten all day - BOO.

Had some awesome chilli noodle soup dish with some of the best
Beer I've tasted! 

No pictures of the food, 
but here are some of us all after dinner at the train station!
Doudou, me (shortest one there...), Wing & Memz

My outfit for the day! It was roughly 24c outside so I wanted to be cool!
Dress: Tralala
Belt: Zara
Bag: GOLDS
Shoes: Peacocks

OMAKE FACE SQUEEZE XD

Also found a full picture of my outfit from tuesday!

Jumper: Liz Lisa
Skirt: Tralala
Tights: River Island

Getting prepared for Winter

I think everybody knows that Japan has slightly different temperatures 
in Winter than Europe and the rest of the Western World.
(Both in mid-December)


Even though this could be levelled out by their higher Summer temperatures, 
we are still freezing and trying to look good.


This Winter sees quite a few Gal brands styling after Western fashion,
which places the ball in our court, but for certain brands that
haven't conformed to one trend this season, taking select "Winter
Pieces" that you can be versatile with as well as 'jazz up' will
be very useful. 

To make yourself warmer without losing any style try wearing a thermal bandeau under your top or dress,
 so that it wont show up even under spaghetti straps. 
For your legs, thick tights generally aren't so sexy, so why not try
circulation-boosting tights that will keep you warm by making your blood pump faster!
These usually come in many Denier and in the usual
Black and beige colours. But they look like normal tights more than
anything so they are really handy. If you are still cold, over-
knee socks are always in. This A/W11 try rustic and bold colours to
suit the season's theme. 

Fine knit scarves that won't look too bulky are fantastic; try different
knot with your outfits and get a few patterns or block colours
 to suit your wardrobe?

If you are unable to buy a "brand" coat this Winter check out
well known Gal-friendly stores that are available in the west such as:
  River IslandLipsy, Forever21, Urban Outfitters and H&M
Don't forget to check Ebay and Etsy for additional fur collars etc you
can use to make your style unique!

!~Hope this helps~!
