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.

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!

How to be a MA＊RS-Gal: Keywords & Thoughts

Hey guys! I have been saving this blog for a while now, 

and since recently, I see that my newer followers seem to have 

a lot of MA*RS backgrounds, that I should probably write this XD

THE AESTHETICS

①A curvy body is a woman's prized possession

②Wear bust-enticing tops

③Down your back, must always be a line of 'Feminine Attraction'.

④ Emphasise your hipline 

⑤Display the long line of your beautiful legs

⑥Have the best sparkling & gorgeous neckline

⑦High-heels are one of the best aesthetics.

So, once you follow all of these things, you can be accepted into 

their secret club ;D 

On a serious side, following a particular brand can be great, but also pretty difficult

if you are in a foreign country. I will give some examples of girls I have found who are 

Mars-a-holics as it were, but obv. they are all in Japan. 

I know that in the Lolita scene, lots of girls follow one particular brand. But 

the stories (and amounts of money @_@) I have heard with bad endings

isn't worth it, especially if you are constantly just spending your wages on pre-orders.

If you are really set on following one brand - just be prepared for hardship, 

customs charges if they notice you are importing lots of packages from one place,

perhaps neglecting other important things in your life, and then having a wardrobe

chock-a-block full of one colour-way. (Not all the time, but most Gal brands often have set themes)

MA*RS Girls in Japan

One of my favourite, and most dedicated MA*RS Girls I found on Pupe. 

She has two blogs where you can see her amazingly complete collection here & here.

Her name is Erina.

A person I have found recently, is Alice. She puts up quite a few outfits, but 

she puts some entries as Friends-only. haha she's adorable though.

Last person is Tomo-hime. I really love her blog, and omg, her Chihuahua 

is soooo cute!!! >w<

She posts a lot about food as well, so if you are into food-blogging, its a good one to look at!

My Thoughts

I Adore MA*RS. To absolute pieces. But I dont think or know if I could

have a purely-MA*RS wardrobe. I really like variety, and dressing up- 

so I enjoy having different styles in my wardrobe. Some of MA*RS' accessories

are a tad over-priced for the quality, but overall I am definitely satisfied with the brand,

and will always buy from them. My only wish is that my feet get smaller so I can buy

their shoes! haha. 

I honestly want to hear back from my lovely readers who like MA*RS, or

 that follow a particular brand, how they feel about it, and what their pro's & con's are. 

Also, can anyone else think of other Gyaru brands that have Key-words to follow?

I'd love to find out and know about it! It's really interesting to me.
