Under the Sea — event

 

 Thanks Anh Binh as always ! 

Surviving heat is not a thing and so I was wearing a velvet Makyo OP with added velvet Axes Femme vest and, overall, died.

In case you didn't know I'm actually SMALL.

On to the event ! My duties being limited to front desk check-in and roughly taking pictures, I ended up spending the day doing just that as well as helping Mila film for kawaii International (I hope you've seen the episode !!)

This event was a dream in that I met so many many people I wanted to meet or had not seen for more than a year and that is the most precious thing.

Very goth Sanni and Mallory and equally very goth Ashley — I was so happy to meet all of them that was a dream. You're all amazing. Let's have an old goth meet sometimes.

Event begun with guests and SFE introductions and that is when I lost count of the time and just started running around ? Taking pictures ? Filming ? All of that.

 

Photographers are extreme and you should love them

 

I am a good friend, I--- 

Making badges for photographers gave SOME ideas.

Pictures by Sanni ! I'm still doubting those ladies even exist, this is when I am grateful for pics to remind me.

I didn't... Din't really edit fashion show pics. I don't know what happened. Here's a few anyway.

Georgia in Mamechiyo kimono was a vision.

 

 Look at all the amazing people.

I would like to thank all of SFE for this beautiful event, and add a special mention to the incredible photographers who worked on this event ! Feast your eyes at SFE official Flickr and give them love.

And I stole this from Tro-Tro 'cause I firmly believe in letting our true elegant selves shine
This is what we send Tiya. Poor Tiya.

There's something to be said about posting that many portraits, and that is : it's uncomfortable, but no one forced me, so I shouldn't complain, really.

Seraphim dress and AP socks and J&J necklace and shoes from somewhere on Taobao, for the interested.

this may be the less fitting music i could possibly think of putting here
of quoting
of naming after
but this is where my mind is and i've been listening to this on repeat for weeks

À l'aventure — II

 

What I had planned to wear to the Tea Party ! Of course I forgot the bag. And of course the reds absolutely don't match in pictures (yet much better in real life). It was quite fun to be this colorful.

That's way too many pictures of my face i'm sorry i didn't mean to.

 

I had knots in my hair because sailor theme.

 

Mila was looking fantastic, all in lavender

 

Tiya was gorgeous in that gorgeous dress ;A;

 

Elegant sassy pirate Ludwig & his wife

 

Mighty viking wife, that is.

  

Sandra looking like the perfect pirate

 

Tro-Tro was like a royal & extremely wealthy pirate and that wig, those eyes, the blue !!

 

We arrived exactly, perfectly, right on time and it should be noted. We were accompanied to the tea party room, which was at the back of that very charming hotel, after a walk through gardens. We seated ourselves at the pirate table upon arriving, which was very fitting. I love the chest filled with treasures — food !

 

...Gang signs ? I guess. Possibly.

 

Ludwig facepalmed hard but still managed to look wonderful way too quickly after that.

This week-end was filled with silly portrait pictures. Here are the "biscuit of sadness" ones. Not that there wasn't enough to eat, because there was plenty ! But we had to wait to eat and it made us so incredibly sad.

 

 

 

 

Now we know that Tiya can open an hard apple cider bottle in exactly 11 seconds AND with minimal blood shed.

The day was lovely and the location very nice and accomodating, so we spent quite some time outdoors doing stupid things but also nothing at all.

 

Simply chilling.

 

Wolfling was elected best dressed ! She really deserved it, she was incredibly beautiful — and you can't even really see the details of her outfit here.

 

Mandatory bathroom shot, I call it "Saint Tiya touched by grace and that air-blowing thing w/ apostles" — there was actually a bathtub in there, we were tempted to take a bath all together but had to accept the hard truth; we would have never fitted.

Then we had to go for a ride back of way too many hours; loudly singing along to the best Faun record in broken German. Thank you Ludwig for the pure love and dedication it took to bring us there (and Tro-Tro for the same thing though I did not ride with you — and that wonderfully decorated house.)

We stopped so many times to eat stuff and whatnot and on one particularly creepy stop we were like "this is where zombies appear in movies usually" so Alien decided to BE that zombie to scare off eventual misguided souls and it worked well, we weren't afraid anymore. Not sure about the other people, though.
