Little pink Ayu

Let me introduce you my little girl^^

Her name is Ayu 

and she is Kato's (my PC...) little sister^^

Now I can spend more time 

on netbook reading and writing

without being distracted by the Internet. 

And details^^

Inside

Today arrived a case for her

bought on ebay, but 

I am a little disappointed, because 

colours are really dull ....

(it is not visible on the pic).

Happy Bday in Starbucks

My friend had birthday and invited us to Starbucks^^

(I will become addicted soon...)

Raspberry mocha <333

Taking pictures in stores...

This mask *__*

I loved this hat,

but it is too small T.T

Still Xmas atmosphere^^ 

After coming back home

my Tracy wanted to try on my headband <333

Babbles in Polish TV

Polish TV will never learn anything. 

They recorded a short program about Japanese Lolita

and invited some "specialists" to a studio.

You can watch the program here.

(but it is in Polish of course).

When I saw that they invited a sexologist

I had a bad premonition.

Quite true...

Even a person with a graduation 

in Japanese studies had no idea

about anything.

And I can not understand why they thought that a girl 

who took a part in Japanese talent show

and was in Japan

can know anything about Lolita Fashion at all O_o

Lolita Fashion is not Lolita Complex. 

They were talking about something different than they show on pictures.

What they said was true, but it was about 

burikko (child-like women).

A pun on furi (show, appearance) and ko (child).

And I encountered with opinions that they sometimes

use such way to seduce men.

But it has nothing to do with Lolita. 

Matsuda Seiko was an influential star in

kawaii subculture, but she has nothing to do with Lolita.

Lolita Fashion is not an expression

of women's position in Japanese society,

but is rather a rebellion against it. 

Let's quote an interview with a Lolita girl

who works in Tokyo's Babyssb store.

This generation - girls in their mid-twenties now- 

is no longer pressured to get married and have children. 

Lolitas enjoy living alone, enjoy being surrounded by cute things, 

creating their own worlds.

I am happy as I am. 

There are older people that come into the store. 

Even when I get older I'll continue living this life.

 For Lolitas, fantasy is better than reality. 

Seeing someone in concert, for example, is an image of perfection. 

All made up and dressed to the nines, a living doll - 

Lolitas find that much more appealing than putting up with some guy who complains

Of course it can also be false

to some people who wear it just because it is cute

(in fact one does not exclude the other)

or they can have other reasons,

but if we want to show a tendency 

this one should be presented.

All this cute behavior and language (called noripiigo)

have nothing to do with Lolitas

who rather use very polite joseigo,

which they call as Lady's speech (shokujo no kotoba).

They use words like

Osore irimasu- I am sorry

Go-kigen you -Good bye

or ending seu.

For all Japanese learners it is quite obvious

that it is not something normally used in colloquial Japanese.

It gives them aristocrat, princess- like image.

For the end a link 

to a very interesting article

about Lolita speech and other's things^^

Enjoy^^

Gold Xmas

24th window in an advent calendar is opened

so it means:

Bonjour Christmas ^^

Instead of listening to carols

I listen to Lareine's songs.

They have this warm and bright atmosphere

of Christmas.

A little sentimental, sad, lonely

but soothing as well.

I listened countless time to 

Whitness- yuki no kubikazari

This song was written specially

for Christmas

and Kamijo sang it during Xmas event this year^^

My translation:

Lovers adorned by every wish admire me

Yes, my name is “Christmas Tree”

I can not look back

Merry Christmas to the smiling face 

which was not showed to me

Ah white angels are gathering

singing songs

this evening which lovely couples

will you bring here?

December's sunbeams streaming through leaves

uder the street's light... where you seemed happy

changing a street they went away without a meeting

without calling my name 

(this person name- he sings it differently than 

it is officially written in lyrics)

Surely you have already forgotten?

Here this day...

I said....

"Wipe your tears... beacuse whole time I will wait here

Nee show me your smile"

December's glitters

A town entangles in a light's ivy is shining

White sigh...dissapeared without turning into 

"a mist which hides a pain" 

forget

I send a necklace of snow to all lovers 

from Christmas tree which can’t shine

only a pain is left but

Merry Christmas to the smiling face which I could not see

So now my Christmass Tree^^

It is all decorated in gold colour^^

(I am really crazy about gold lately...)

And gold angel

from my friend^^

And my doggy^^

Merry Xmas for all of you^^

Lladia in blue

I have found old grandma's cardigan and beret

and put them on today^^

Wearing blue was a little strange for me,

but I felt really good in it

so I think I will wear more blue in the future^^

This bow is also quite old^^

I wore it in the very short period of time

when I liked scene fashion.

And new socks^^

I found them for so cheap 

when I was going back

from school^^

I wanted dotted socks

for quite a long time^^
