Flaming Hot Community Day

 Saturday was November's Pokemon Go Community Day! The Pokemon featured was Chimchar, the fire starter monkey. I didn't have time to do a specific Chimchar makeup so I did a fire-themed general look.  The black-to-red eyeliner blend did not work well,but it was something new to try!

Shiny Chimchar!

 I went to the Mall of America with my boyfriend and played for the whole three hours. It's incredibly cold here in Minnesota now, so we have to play indoors. There are many, many Pokemon Go players at the mall, though!

New Weezing

 Because there are many people, it's easy to win group battles! We both got this new Weezing. I don't understand why it is Fairy type at all....

 I also got a perfect Chimchar that I evolved to the maximum!

 My final tally for the one's that I kept.

Primer: Milani Cosmetics
Eyeshadow: Sugarpill Buttercupcake and Flamepoint, bh cosmetics Solar Flare palette
Eyeliner: media liquid liner and LA Colors lip/eye liner (do not recommend...)
Eyebrows/Mascara: essence cosmetics
Blush: AOA Studio (shop miss A)
Lips: LA Colors lip/eye liner and NYX Cosmetics Macaron Lippie Orange
Setting Spray: Skindinavia

Overall had a fun time ^u^v
Also my boyfriend gifted me a copy of Pokemon Shield! So I will be playing that soon as well.
I forgot to take an outfit shot, but did get compliments while I was playing at the mall ^///^

Did you get the new Pokemon game for the Nintendo Switch? Whether you did or not, which starter is your favorite?

Thanks for reading!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! How was your spooky holiday? I had a cookie-decorating party at my friend's house. My original costume idea did not get finished in time, so I just went as a generic modern (rainbow-colored rather than silver) unicorn ^^;

My friend Erin and I baked cookies at my place and then brought them to Calvin's where we decorated!

We then played a spooky game called Betrayal at the Haunted Hill House or something like that :P It's a randomly-generated house where the players explore and find events, items, and omens. Eventually, one will be revealed as the traitor and then we play against each other. There are 50 endings to the base game, and expansions are available! It's a very fun game and perfect for Halloween! Calvin also always plays spooky music to the game and narrates the game like a story.

After that, we played Potion Explosion, also very good for Halloween!

What did you do for Halloween? Hope you had a great day, and if you had a costume I hope you will share it as I love to see costumes!!! Been missing Halloween events since being in Taiwan :3 It was fun this year!

Pumpkin Patch Lolita Adventure!

As a continuation of adventures while kayz0rbeam was visiting, on Sunday we went to brunch with zombiefruit32 and then to a pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins and carve them!  So American autumn!!

The pumpkin patch we went to was pretty picked-over, but at least the weather was nice and they sold hot apple cider there as well! Very yum.

Kay, Erin, and me!

It was a bit windy and chilly, but overall still rather sunny so it was tolerable ^u^v

Hair accessories I borrowed from Kay
Outer: Mad Punks
JSK: h.naoto FRILL
Petticoat: Classical Puppets
Bag: Kreepsville666

 We spent some time online looking up pumpkin carving ideas, and eventually decided to all do Ghibli movie side characters!
Kay did Calcifer, Erin did No Face, and I did Cat Bus!

Erin spent ages on hers and made all the curves SO SMOOTH!!!!

Sadly, my pumpkin has already been eaten by squirrels. I hope my cat hunts those squirrels in revenge.

Calcifer, No Face, Cat Bus

 Bonus shot of my face at the brunch place we went to. Who needs filters when you have sunlight that somehow manages to blur your skin???

This lighting is lovely

What is your favorite autumn activity? We don't really have autumn season like this in Taiwan, so our only autumn activity is the Moon Festival  ^^;  I really enjoyed the pumpkin-carving and farm stuff! Also cannot decide what to do for Halloween costume :o

Goth Club MN

Saturday night I went to the local Goth club, Ground Zero, with my ladies Kayz0rbeam (visiting us from LA!) and zombiefruit32!  It was fun and we danced a bunch! I am a fantastical tentacle monster on the dance floor (but do my best not to get in anybody's way with my flailing)

The bathroom is the only good place for a photo during the night ^u^v

There was also a bondage show in the back where no photos or video are allowed so didn't take any of the actual dance floor area (they are connected, and I didn't want to accidentally get anybody who didn't want to be photographed)

The bathroom is very pretty though!

Seriously those little mirrors!

Clubbing is my exercise of choice haha!

Do you have any favorite night events? It's much more difficult to get out to nighttime activities in Minnesota compared to Taipei :x 

Happy Belated Moon Festival!

Been ill over the weekend so I failed to post in time, but here's a belated Happy Moon Festival/Mid-Autumn Festival to everybody! Thanks for sticking with me ^u^v I appreciate all the comments always~

Of course, Moon Festival is not a national holiday here, and bakeries don't exactly stock moon cakes on the regular, but my good friend Calvin got the idea to go to Costco, so we went with a couple other friends and ended up getting a lot of stuff, as well as alcohol, for a Moon Festival party!

Taiwan Teddy modeling the moon cakes

He even found a Taiwanese brand one :3  The flavor is salted egg yolk with lotus seed, my favorite!!

Salted yolk with lotus seed paste

We also did a sort of indoor barbecue (a "modern tradition" for Moon Festival started in the 80s) with tofu for me and pork belly for everybody else.  No pomelos, but that's OK!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend/Friday the 13th! Did you do anything for Friday the 13th, the full moon, or Moon Festival? In some faiths the full moon would be a Sabbat as well I think, and some people are superstitious about Friday the 13th.
