Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee, hommes et filles! \^0^/
How is everyone’s Christmas and New Year’s holiday going? I unfortunately don’t celebrate Kwanzaa or Hanukkah myself, but I hope that the people that do have a good one.
Anyway, I’ve just heard that Nana Kitade, who is best described as a sort-of spokesperson for the lolita/aristocrat fashion and lifestyle, has collaborated with Japanese clothing line Baby the Stars Shine Bright for a clothing line starring… well, moi! ;3
Not convinced? Please check this out. (Online journal entry courtesy of Nana Kitade’s official website, hosted by her label Sony Music Japan. Thanks to etoiledejade of the Livejournal community EGL for providing this link in this post.) It’s even been featured in the BtSSB entry at Wikipedia!
I love, LOVE, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE all the styles encompassed by lolita and aristocrat fashion, although there’s no way I can wear them in the area I currently live in because it turns too many heads. I do elegance, beauty and sweetness, but I do try not to call too much attention to myself since it gets incredibly tacky that way. XD; Which is sad and ironic because as a wee kitten, I didn’t like lace and poof one bit, but then that must be because Mum dressed myself and Honeycute in dresses made with tulle and cheap lace, which are definitely not kitten-friendly. XD;
To be very honest though, I thought I was more of a himegyaru (”hime gal” or “princess gal”) style icon, myself. I mean, with the fabulously posh way I look, I’m not sure I fit into the sweet lolita mindset that is so closely associated with BtSSB. Not that I mind, but I’ve always thought I was a bit more grown-up. Ah well, can’t be too choosy. X3
In any case, here are some shots of Nana Kitade in the outfits, courtesy of BtSSB and the EGL community over at LJ: 1, 2. And here’s the actual line itself, where there’s plenty more to ogle at: Charmmy Kitty@BtSSB.
Alright, time to get drunk with sherry! Happy Holidays! d^.~b
