Dear followers

I’m really sorry that all I’ve been posting is conversations! I’ve not had a photoshoot for a couple of weeks, so haven’t had anything new for you, but hopefully will get something done this week and then next week am off up to London for a photoshoot :)

In the meantime, have a photo of me from last year’s zombie walk (that I only just found, photo by Charles Shepherd)

Check out Michael Jackson zombie!

Amai Furiku? 5

Here is my 5th post for VKH. Some of the shop info is now a little outdated unfortunately. Message with any questions :) (getting ready to post up my 9th article later! ^^)

Amai Furiku? -The sweet freak’s guide to VK fashion

Halloween special!So, first of all, this post is a little early for November, but also a little late to prepare for Halloween, so here is my guide to outfits for next year’s Halloween, and makeup easily done for this year’s Halloween.Halloween themed clothing isn’t difficult to find, it’s GOOD Halloween themed clothing that is hard to come by. I have trawled through various sites to find the cutest items for a cute Halloween 2011.Many shops selling Japanese themed clothing are overseas in Japan, China, Korea etc. This means shipping time is often more lengthy than that of shops within your own country. It is incredibly wise to plan ahead and order items months before necessary in case items go out of stock or go up in price, plus, it avoids disappointment when the item may not arrive as quickly. My first idea for an absolutely adorable outfit was a magical girl style; Click to full view

Another fun idea was to take a spin on the movies Beetlejuice and A Clockwork Orange (more suited for guys or androgynous girls);

These are outfits suitable for everyday wear, but could easily double up as Halloween outfits with the right hair, makeup and accessories.

Other than those outfits, here are some of my other favourite Halloween-y items I have found recently (all items can be found on etsy);

For those who need a last minute makeup idea, try this tutorial I made just for you guys! Just a very quick and simple way of making good blood effects very easily!

On the note of Halloween, today we attended the annual Zombie Walk in our city. It was a little hectic, but fun. My makeup and outfit was heavily influenced by a mixture of sources including Ayumi;








and Blythe dolls;













Here I am!
