the future is the way of that
How can I be confident wearing Japanese fashion or other alternative, non-mainstream fashion? Here’s a tip from someone wearing weird fashion for years… you don’t! If you aren’t confident at first, you won’t magically become confident when you put those clothes on, and for some people, you may never be confident wearing alt fashion no …
Continuing my previous posts documenting my hauls from small businesses and independent artists, this time starting from April to June 2025! As mentioned, I try my best to support artists selling their own artwork and other small goods instead of buying stuff from big companies. Of course I can’t help spending on official franchise merchandise …
August’s artwork was done 9 whole days before the end of the month, must be a record! This fanart for B-127 from the Transformers One movie was easy because I knew what to draw, and Transformers are usually symmetrical (so if I’m drawing a front-facing portrait, I just copy-paste one side to the other, that’s …
I’m back with a recipe review! This time it’s comparing 2 different doenjjang (fermented soybean paste) stews, both from internet chef influencers. I wasn’t familiar with Korean food until later in life (late twenties?) when my friends and I went to Korean barbecue because of osmosis influence or proximity from Japanese cuisine and then a …

I am back with a cosplay I made last year but never wore out. I was super pleased with the Yunjin bonnet I made from her actual in game costume in 2023, but wasn’t ready to make her entire outfit at my skill level, so instead I made her concert outfit which is a cute …
Continuing from my previous post of purchases in late 2024, here are all the small business purchases I made in January, February and March of 2025! First off is a batch of extremely cool and stylish fanart merch from Scum Villain and Genshin Impact and some original artwork from byLimonmaid at Etsy! Next was a …
Here is a quick overview of Misako Aoki’s sewing book volume 1! I am including a few photographs of the interior and my first impression thoughts for anyone interested in picking this up. I purchased this and the latest Otome no Sewing volume from amazon.jp and got it in about a week. You might be …
Happy International Lolita Day (yesterday!) I did take these photos on the first Saturday of June but was too lazy to post until Sunday. While this coord isn’t especially summer specific, the fabric is very smooth and lightweight polyester satin and I just love tacky leopard print for all seasons.
