Last week I went to a Pokemon Go 10th Anniversary event at an MRT station! It was small and not well-organized in my opinion, but it was fun to visit on my way to a beauty expo!
They did not give us a reason why it was cancelled last minute, but later the news did report a bit of the ceiling of Lalaport Taipei fell down that afternoon, so it may have been related.
We went to the Pokémon Center for some pokémon goodness, but didn't buy anything.
I was also pretty uncomfortable in leggings. They're Magikarp and Shiny Gyarados leggings, but being fully polyester (prints are clearer or synthetics), they don't breathe well in the summer. Compared to tights, it felt much more noticeable.
Have you ever watched a dragon dance performance before? It was only happening this weekend and I didn't want to make the trip out there again so I didn't catch any of the later performances. Hopefully it will return someday!
This is the follow-up post to the previous one about the convention!
On Monday I went to a triple-convention (games, comics, toys) and happened upon some local idol group performances! Originally we just headed over to some stage because it was loud (as in, the idol otaku were insanely loud! Cheering with all their energy) and we were curious.
While watching a bit of whatever group was performing, Exo looked up the schedule on his phone and pointed out that the idol group of my favorite maid Lena from Kokorolia Maid Cafe would be performing later! I decided I'd come back to catch her performance despite having zero interest in idol groups 😹
Our group went for lunch nearby and then parted ways. I was the only one to go back to the convention (which I shall post about separately) but I got lost trying to find the stage area again!
Being a bit late, I was not able to get close to the stage. The space was very small and there were not many people, but I was still far back enough that all my videos are just of the back of people's heads 😿
I also don't know if the video upload works on this site well... so good luck to me and you
On Saturday we had our July lolita meetup!! I hadn't slept well the night before so I didn't bother with hair/makeup at all haha.
Normally I coordinate this JSK with black, so I decided to coordinate with white this time!
On Tuesday I went to Kokorolia Maid Cafe with some of the friends from the World Cup party!
It was the first visit to a maid cafe for two of them, and this week was a nautical theme at Kokorolia! I already tossed or sold the sailor JSK I made years ago, so the only sailor dress I had was a long-sleeve one 🙀 In this 30C+ weather.... I still wore it 😹
It's a cutsew style OP, so I went pretty casual~
I've never been into sports and so have never watch a sportsball game before. Last night/this morning I went to my first live stream viewing experience at a sports/darts bar with friends!
It was at midnight as they wanted to watch the Argentina vs Egypt game.
I slept in until afternoon and then did my regular live stream from 7-10 pm and helping out my mom before heading out to the event~
Because I know nothing about soccer football, on stream I asked who we were supporting and what the game rules were 😹
Turns out all our friends were supporting Argentina so I were Argentina flag colors! 🇦🇷
Two of my friends visited me this past weekend! It was actually an coincidence that they both came to Taipei over the same weekend 😹 It was a great time!
I didn't really take many photos, actually. But it was so hot out! So I don't have any outfit shots unfortunately 😿
So here's just a few snaps!
I celebrated my birthday this past Saturday with a full day~
Got to wear my Metamorphose Neon Cyber Girl skirt and harness set for the first time this weekend! The makeup took FAR longer than I expected 😹 All those YouTube tutorials make it look quick and easy!!!
I am happy with how the liner turned out at least~
Oh gosh I meant to post this weeks ago! Two of my friends came to visit Taipei over Golden Week in Japan! I got to spend a half day with them~ We went to Taipei 101 observatory (89th floor) and the current IP collab is Monday Bruce!!
For any working class adult, Monday Bruce is such a vibe. He doesn't want to go to work, suffers through work, tolerates the travel to and from work, and is lazy on days off. Basically all of the adult workforce cat😹
It was evening as we were there, so we actually got to see Taipei go from daylight to night through the windows
There were also more "influencer" types this time compared to the last time I went. They were getting timelapse videos so they took up window spots for very long periods of time.
In addition to Monday Bruce, there were some floral exhibits too! Those were also fun for more "pretty" photos.
A TikTok viewer had requested a gyaru look, and I have a LizLisa dress that was gifted by my coven waifu, so I figured, why not? I like Himekaji style after all!
For the makeup, I just directly followed a tutorial by @usatanipaisen1215 in Instagram! She's an inspirational gyaru, and I think she's an official gyaru ambassador or something? Not sure, but she had a two-part reel that showed basic gyaru makeup, so I followed it to the best of my ability!
Unfortunately I forgot a full outfit photo 😿 I was a bit tired after getting back from the hospital with my mom, so I just took off my hair/makeup without thinking!
Life has been a bit exhausting lately! I'm still doing the TikTok streams (hate the platform, hate the AI, but met some nice viewers) so I've shifted to doing GRWM on streams. I'll share some random snaps while I talk about what's been going on!
Magical Girls are LIFE!!!! But let me start off by saying I forgot a key feature of this outfit.... my CTCTYO cyber cat ears 😿 I didn't remember them until I'd already arrived at the cafe!!
I also spent about 45 minutes trying out five different hairstyles, and ended up just not styling because I didn't like how anything looked 😿 So it's not as magical as it could have been, but at least the embroidery on my skirt was totally on theme!
Had some fun out with friends recently! Last weekend I met up with a friend at Ximending just to chill.
On Friday I met up with a friend at one of the Taipei Main station Komeda Coffee (there's three) cafés to try out the pokémon collaboration dishes!
There's three dishes total. I ordered the Drifloon cheese balls and the Dragonite ice fire dessert, and my friend ordered the Ditto mentaiko shrimp patty sandwich.
I've been wearing makeup more recently and decided to do a little photo dump! I usually find tutorials on Instagram or YouTube and try to recreate them with the palettes and products I have.
