Welcome to my first post!
As some know, I am planning to go to Japan on the 10th of June (so soon!) for intensive language courses. Before arriving in Okazaki, a suburb near Nagoya, I will visit Tokyo for a few days. The plan is to document my adventures in Japan here. I will treat this as a journal more than anything else with LOTS of pictures, so be prepared for some exciting things :D
I will explain MUCH MORE about the program....but later!
Right now I wish to write about my pre-gaming.
That's right, I actually have pre-gaming for a trip to Japan.
For one day I'm flying over to San Jose in California to experience this gala fashion event featuring the Angelic Pretty designers, Fumiko of Chantilly, the musicians Yuka and Sachi of Kokusyoku Sumire, Atelier Pierrot, Vivcore, and so much more.
The main event, which I am attending as a gothic VIP, features a fashion show, a concert by Kokusyoku Sumire, and tea party. I have a seat at the table with Fumiko. The event also includes the Magical Boutique, which allows you to experience Harajuku away from home and shop all the brands :D
That's a very very quick summary of what is going on at the event. Please read more about it at the site- http://www.cosplayoneesan.org/node/99
Thank you to Cosplay Oneesan for planning and running the show! I cannot wait!
My nerves however are going out the window- I applied as a contestant in the Miss Gothic and Lolita USA pageant! I may be performing in front of everyone The Carnival of Venice on my flute. I haven't played professionally for the last five years so it's been a while- I'm afraid I may have gotten rusty! But I have high hopes for it-wish me luck!
