I am going to need to pass on day three until I can actually do that (:( ) Right now we're staying with aunts while our house is being worked on and I sort of share a tiny room with two other people and it's not really my house, so, I try to keep the personalizing to a minimum.~ I still wanted to do a few days since I was gone a while while Sugar was ill. Let's start with 4 that one sounds like a lot of fun! Let's go! 

 Day four: 5 of your style-icons.

1. Let's start with an obvious one for me, a girl who needs no introduction in the fairy kei world. 

She may have already left Fairy-kei for the most part, but the legacy she left behind will live on and continue to help many girls just getting into the fashion. Pastel Ai gave Fairy-kei a voice for me and I'm sure many other girls. She made it a more friendly and relatable fashion. Her bubbly and charming personality and her amazing fashion sense made me want to watch her videos again and again and always made me smile! Sure I was sad the day I learned she wanted to leave fairy-kei(again, only for the most part), but now I know that no matter what she has imprinted the fashion forever and she has left a standing impression on me. She was who I looked up to starting in fairy-kei, I looked at her and thought to myself how I would love to be like her. Pastel Ai is someone who has been able to leave her mark on this fashion just by being her cute and fun self! That is always been a personal goal of mine too, actually! Hopefully I can succeed in my idols footsteps, eh?~ 

2. Look who it is! It's Princess Peachie!


You said it Peachie! (I found the picture here http://cutebacon.tumblr.com/ I just googled Princess Peachie! XD)

Sure I don't have a lot of fully "fairy-kei" picture influences here, but I would feel wrong not listing Peachie. Peachie is someone I look up to, not just for fashion inspiration, but for just about everything. If I honestly had to choose one person I admire at this moment more than anyone else, it's Peachie! I have said a lot of this before, but I've meant it then and I mean it now. Peachie is honest, sweet, kind, hard-working, and just plain adorable! I mean, maybe since I don't know her well personally I may have an idealized version of her in my head, but I'm convinced the way I see her is mostly the truth. I know she has so many fans, but she took time to talk to me back when I talked to her and she took time to comment long and detailed thank yous whenever I drew her something. It goes without saying that Peachie has style also, of course. She rocks Bodyline better than anyone I've ever seen and I think they should pay her for all the positive advertising she's done for them, but that's just my personal opinion. I don't want to gush too much and I want to keep all of these about the same length, but Peachie is my idol in everything. It's not just fashion. Peachie is someone I look up to in every way. Peachie is someone who always makes me smile, and Peachie is someone that I had to mention in this list! No matter what she's gone through she seems to always come out of it strong. (If she ever reads this I hope she knows what an inspiration she is to me and so many others. I wish I could say I'm her biggest fan, but that's not fair to everyone else so we can all equally be her biggest fans, kay?~) Plus, she did say in one of her videos that she was into fairy-kei I think, so that makes this completely on topic! <3

3.  It's Mio!~ Mio BabyLove

I grabbed the picture from here, again just googled her name. http://babydoll-princess.blogspot.com/2010/08/fairy-kei.html

Another iconic name in fairy kei! If you search fairy kei I don't doubt you'll see Mio all over the place! Her style is amazing and it's near impossible to deny! I fell for Mio's style when I first watched her video of her dress-up time! Her video is just so sweet and adorable and fun to watch, I could watch it over and over again! She is the kind of girl who's room and closet any aspiring fairy-kei girl would want to get their hands on~! She seems to have the qualities of being both sweet and edgy and just has something different, something special, that make her always interesting no matter what it is she does! Whether it's a video or a post in her blog I always love to hear what Mio has to say!~ <3

4. Here is someone I recently discovered, Serepuff! 


I have been going absolutely crazy for her blog lately! She has easy to understand tutorials that are so creative and useful! She also has a very unique style and she does a lot of thrifting for her fairy-kei gems (like me <3) She's someone I am just learning about, but I'm already very excited to be a follower of her blog. She also introduced me to uchuu kei (which I will forever associate with her.) I would love to give that a try. She also is one of the only people that has a fairly regularly updating blog that I can relate to. I can relate to her and her posts and I'm very glad! <3 I wish I had a little more to say about her, but right now I only have that she is very impressive and innovative and I can't wait to see all the things she creates in the future! <3 

5. The one, the only, Tavuchi/Tabuchi (I've seen it both ways so I wanted to make sure I put both, just in case.) 

I used to have one of those baby strollers when I was younger, ahh <3 Found here, google http://kitten.buzznet.com/user/journal/17227272/fashion-profile-sayuri-tabuchi/

She is considered the founder of fairy-kei, though according to this, she never actually referred to the fashion as Fairy-kei. She is so adorable and her adorable look can't be over looked! She is the creative reason fairy-kei exists! She is the founder of Spank!, Spank! Me, and Ticket to Darling. She is easily one of the most important people to the fairy-kei fashion. So much of my taste in clothes seems to come from her. She has inspired a lot in me, like my love for big cute glasses with my fairy-kei. They seem to go hand in hand for me and I usually don't think a fairy-kei outfit is complete without a pair of big glasses! No matter what she's wearing she always manages to be cute and unique. She is a unique individual and she is a great inspiration to me! <3 (I of course admire many more than this, but the challenge called for just five of them this time.~) 

All of these girls are wonderful and innovative and have affected my own style as time has passed. I hope they don't mine my using their pictures, I just thought it would be good to pair the name with a face~ ( :) ) If anyone has a problem with their picture being used just tell me and I will take care of it immediately. Thank you all for being inspirations to me and so many other girls! 

This is the only one I'm going to do right now. I'm running on no sleep, I'm expecting a package today and I'm very excited! I'm also waiting to hear from the Lolita Blog Carnival! (Fingers crossed?~) 

Anywho, I'll see you next time! I might take a nap or something fun like that. :DD 

Twitchily Yours, (I think that may be from the lack of sleep! <3)

Let's Do The Fairy Kei 30 Day Challange! (Day 1. Likes and Dislikes)

Dear Cutie Popples,

(I found this today and decided to give it a try! I tried to do the Lolita one once and never did get it finished so I hope I can stay on top of this one!) ..(Oh! And if anyone knows the source of the challenge I would love to credit them!)

☆ Day one: 5 things you like and 5 things you dislike about Fairy-Kei.

I actually have a lot I like about  Fairy-kei! It may be a little harder to think of 5 whole things I don't like because I tend to prefer thinking positive about things, especially things I like!~

Likes

Awwwww~ What's not to love about Fairy-Kei!?~ Photo from Pastel Ai

+ I love how cute it is! I just smile when I see girls dressed up in it, when I dress up in it, when I think about it, It just makes me really happy! I love reasons to smile and be happy and I think everyone should have them.

+ I love how it really fits with my personality! How the lists of traits that may belong to a Fairy-Kei girl tend to belong to me just make me giggle.

+  I love how it's made me rediscover all the things I loved growing up to find I love them just as much now.

+ I love how it helps to make me feel like I have a purpose, like the days when I'm in the store and people looking at me smile as if seeing something so out of the ordinary made their day, or how when I put together really cheap coordinates it just makes me giddy to help other girls do the same thing!

+ I love how, in Fairy-Kei, I can shop anywhere with hopes of finding all the things I need for a full fairy kei outfit! (I can't shop online right now because I'm having paypal troubles, so I need to be able to shop fairly locally.) I have made several outfits from the clothes I bought at Goodwill a few days ago and a lot of my Fairy-kei comes from Goodwill! What I love about goodwill is that they don't sell anything specific. You can get just about anything there, old or new styled, and it is all arranged by color! Fairy-Kei can always work for me any day, no matter where I shop, because it is such a flexible style!

+I love... wait oh dear... we already hit 5 didn't we?  Oh well on to the dislikes :( I'm gonna have to listen to so much fun Cyndi Lauper music after this to wash away all the negative energy. ( :) )

Dislikes


 Do you ever walk through a stre and see the little kid and baby clothes and think, now why can't they make that in my size!?http://www.candykidsboutique.com/assets/images/PinkRufflePettiDress.jpg

- I suppose I don't like how I can never really find the pastel shades in my size in the mainstream stores. Sometimes I fear what people will say when my coordinates aren't completely pastel since that is a huge part of the Fairy-Kei style. If I could order online the first thing I would pick up would be several cute pastel T-shirts and cutsews! <3

- I don't like how I don't have enough money to buy all the Fairy-Kei in the world ): ... is that really  a dislike about Fairy-Kei?....Close enough :)

- I wish the community could be as strong as the Lolita community. I don't know if maybe a lot of girls don't wear Fairy-Kei that often or maybe there just aren't as many Fairy-Kei girls yet as there are Lolita girls. I just would like to see more Fairy-Kei meet-ups, they seem like they could be so much fun! (If your a Texan Fairy-Kei girl too, tell me in a comment :) )

- I sometimes wish I could find more blogs to follow on blog spot that regularly update and inspire me!~ (If you know of a few please let me know!)

- I want to be in a Fairy-Kei girl band so much X'D Why oh why can't I know more Fairy-Kei girls! 

Yay! That was actually really fun~ I hope you all enjoyed reading it and I do have a main blog post in the works, I can't wait to answer tomorrows challenge question! Stay cute! <3 

Sleeplessly Yours, (Why can't I sleep at night lately? :'D)
