RUFFLED TUXEDO TOP, GOTHIC LOLITA POSTCARDS AND BUTTONS FROM INDIE BRAND AKINA.
Lang Leav and I teamed up to give away a Little Miss Lilliput tuxedo top from her Gothloli-influenced clothing company, Akina. I couldn’t resist getting my hands on one myself, so I placed an order on her website. The package came with remarkable number of goodies: postcards and buttons featuring Lang’s fairytale villain artwork…
… and a black T-shirt with a patched-up, button-eyed teddy bear bleeding from his seams and hooked up to an IV! L-O-V-E her morbid sensibility.
The details of the tuxedo top are impeccable. In tribute to Tuxedo-Mask, I’m wearing a black striped mask on my forehead.
You can order this top, Lang’s latest Little Mermaid book, and more from the Akina website.

Ooh, that's a really nice gift set you got there! Does she do that with each order?~~
xxxxxxxx
Hi, they are sold separately. Thanks : )
I'm here to report on my japanese-subculture speech!
It went well–I got a 93/100 or an A on it, and one of the good things he pointed out on my speech was that I seemed well informed (that I accidentally dropped my cards and the beginning and kept talking till I got to the conclusion and blanked out probably helped with this). I covered Manba, Goth Loli, and Decora.
I hope the people received it well. One of my goals was to show them something beyond businessmen/samurai/geisha/schoolgirls, which I think I accomplished, but I also hope that they don't think the girls are 'weird.' We only had 5-7 minutes, so I could only really show a picture and say, “Ok, this is what they are named, they usually wear things like this” and then move on. Sometimes I feel like I could babble on about the subject for a long time!
I offered to answer any questions anyone had, and told them they could flip through some books I had (Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno and Fresh FRUiTS) after class, but no one was interested. :( Not really a surprise though, the class is small and things here aren't very…diverse.
But overall it went really well!
(i looked really cute that day too, which is an added bonus :D )
Beautiful!!! I love the ruffled top, it's made beautifully.
I love the bear shirt too. So kawaii =3

Ohh I’m so glad to hear this! Congrats on the well-deserved A.
That was a nice idea to bring along magazines and show photos – and look cute, of course! I found that when you’re very passionate about something, doing a speech becomes easy.
Keep it up!
