Anime Expo 2013 Day 1

Anime Expo 2013 was so much fun! :3 I went for three days because I unfortunately had to work on Sunday. But putting that aside, I got to hang out with old friends and meet so many new people! ♥ And I love how we all just walked around as this huge group of gyaru. Sometimes we'd even get stopped for photos, which is cool because you'd think that people would be more interested in cosplayers. I also got to model for the Shibuya Rocks fashion show, which I'll blog about next time! ^__^

I finally met Lisha! She is super sweet and pretty in person! ♥ I wish I could wink like her. T__T

It was my first time meeting Emi as well! She's really fun and outgoing, plus she worked so hard at the GLAVIL and MA*RS booths. I'm so glad she came down all the way from San Francisco!

With the sexy MA*RS shop girls, Ninoshka and Rosie! The brand suits them so well. They also did a wonderful job working as shop staff! ♥

Ninoshka's eye make-up is so perfect! Also... Rosie photo bombing in the background. xD

Adri and I found such a good-looking Eren!!! *__* ♥ When we saw him, we started shouting at him to take a picture with us and the poor guy was so startled. :P

I also ran into Audry! ♥

Our first purchases of the 4 day event! I bought a really cool top from GLAVIL which I would later get to model in the fashion show. ^__^

With Saori, one of the GLAVIL shop staff! She's so gorgeous and tall! I look extra tiny next to her. T__T

Visited the Liz Lisa booth and met Kim Dao! The first thing I thought was "I love her accent!" xD

With my sexy ladies Stephanie, Michi, and Adri! ♥

We walked around the exhibit hall for a bit and ran into a small One Piece booth! I just had to take a photo with Luffy and Chopper. ♥

I wish I took more pictures of the different booths I visited, but things were just so hectic with all the people! I should've at least taken a picture of the pink alpaca slippers I was thinking of getting, which regrettably, I didn't. Now I want them even more! U__U

So that's pretty much it for now. Thanks for reading! ^__^

Eri Angely and Yumi Fujimoto in L.A.

Since I was MIA for a long time, I wanted to do a few throwback posts. ^__^ This one's way back during the short period of time I had dark brown hair, which almosts seems like a dream to me now. Like it never actually happened. :P I just couldn't (and still can't) seem to get over my love for light brown and blonde hair. For obvious reasons, I got that feeling the most when I was looking through gyaru magazines. ^__^;;

About a year ago, models Eri Angely and Yumi Fujimoto came from Japan to visit, so a bunch of L.A. gals including myself got together to hang out. Eri and Yumi are both really sweet gals! ♥ I speak very little Japanese, so unless somebody translated for me, it was a bit difficult to communicate with them. However, we still had fun taking photos and eating at Tea Station with everyone! They even went to Round One and a bunch of other places after that, but I missed out because I had to leave early to attend a wedding. I'm hoping they can come back to visit soon!

And thank you so much, Sho, for making this happen! I remember this was the first time we met, and it was so exciting to talk about bringing gyaru brands to the U.S. A year later, it's actually happening at Anime Expo 2013! :3 I'll go into more detail about that in another post. On to the photos! ♥
