I love beautiful stuff. I may not show it very much but I’m a girly girl at heart. A classic simple beauty with ribbons and pearls, ruffles and lace! Pastel colors and LOTS of flowers! Irises and daisys personally hehe. It’s why i fancy Lolita so much. The colors and the styles the poofy skirts and blouses and parasols ahh love. I don’t own lolita yet but i will! yosh!
I also LOVE candy and cakes of that sort, and to be around sweet things. Its like the sugar absorbs into your skin makes you feel all sweet inside. odd way of putting it but i think it gets my point across. Though my favorite color is green and my others are lavender and blue, I find pink a happy color, reminds me of frosting. I also find the sugary happiness in music, trance and j-pop and others.
Lately Iv’e been looking around for items and other ways to bring simple beauty into my life. I bought the cutest kitchen timer in the shape of a strawberry ice cream cone. I got some yarn in colors i wouldn’t normally pick and been reading alot of fairy tales.
Some even have a “Lolita Lifestyle” which pretty much just consists of living how you dress, in loveliness.
I follow these blogs to bring beauty into my life and others.

I am a crazy One Piece Fan. One Piece is one of the biggest anime in Japan. One Piece is written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. The first realease was on December 24, 1997. (Yes one day after my birthday).
Today, One Piece released its newest movie – The Strong World – is directed by Eiichiro Oda himself. Not only that, One Piece released its newest manga #56 with 2.8 million copies was printed. As of today, the manga sold more than 176 million copies – marked the highest selling manga in the history.
This week, Luffy is on a man magazine in Japan. It also has 5 pages of One Piece fashion (I will buy it this weekend). I went to Mitsuwa last weekend and I found a bunch of soda bottle with One Piece on it. It is awesome.
So I am planning to have a One Piece Day aka watching and discussing about One Piece. I love every single thing about One Piece. The story line to character designs are perfect.
The sad new is….Eiichiro Oda is planning to end One Piece in 5 years. He said he has the image of its ending and start working on the last season. (I feel sad – I never want it to end)
I do believe – people who never read One Piece shouldn’t say One Piece is bad because they will never know how wonderful it is.
Please give it a try – you will love it. ^_^
Hi hi! Mikan here! ♥~
Gomenasai goshujinsama/ojousama~ >__<i Mikan been busy lately so no time to post!
But I am posting now! Ohohohoho~
So Thanksgiving was num-num for me! Started early with family lunch. Ate so much I fell asleep…only to wake up for DINNER! Talk about fatty huh? The whole day was spent on eating… sigh Mikan is going to lose any moe-ness remaining because of FATTY-NESS!
The next day was spent with Koto-chan and our friend. We went to see Betsey Bloomingdale’s donation to FIDM. She donated her lifetime’s worth of haute couture dresses and ensembles. It was great! I love watching how fashion evolves through the years and its impacts on people. I also realized that Mrs. Bloomindale seemed to be rather fond of Christian Dior. >> throws an envious fit << I’m ok!
After that we went to get food at a local plaza-market place. We ended up spending under $6 for a great meal! I had chap-chae (korean glass noodles) with chrysanthemum tea and two little korean snacks. Oishii~! Well worth our money neh! Mikan didn’t finish the snacks, so saved it for Momo and Maiyu when we went over to sew!
After a hard day of sewing, we all finally relax and go to friend’s place to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends!
AND MIKAN FINALLY GOT TOKIDOKI SPOON AT YOGURTLAND! Missing first two though..anyone want to give their’s to me? XD
Hope everyone is warm! It looks like it will be getting cold~
Mikan, out! ♥~
Happy Thanksgiving everybody. I hope everybody has a great and safe holiday. It is a FAT holiday again. I want to thanks everybody for working so hard at the cafe and all our masters support us.
I started my eating holiday at work on Tuesday – This weekend is HAM and TURKEY.
I want Ice Cream.
I can’t wait until Black Friday to go shopping. I save some money for it.
I don’t really want to think about school at this moment because it is a hoilday.
Can’t talk about business this weekend – everything is fun and fun.
Hai hai~ Good evening Goshujinsama, Ojousama and my darling maids and hosts~ vvv
It has been a while since Tanpopo posted some photos! So here we are! I love this wig it’s such a pretty shade of pink! This is my faux Crimson Camellia Luka cosplay! Which I will probably never do seriously, although it’s a nice idea… But it was fun to play pretend! vvv
Tanpopo also got a little new something something that’s pretty obvious in the picture, care to guess what it is? Hehe~!
Anyways I hope everyone is doing fine~ Tanpopo is withering away slowly with school work ururu… QnQ Can’t wait till winter break!
That’s it for now, so sleepy!
Love you all~ vvv
Well these blogs have been kind of dead for the past week. I guess that’s just a sign of how busy we all are at AniMaid Café. Not just with Café related business but with our personal lives. So I thought I’d drop in and give a quick update on what’s been going on on my end.
Personally, among other things, I’ve been busy with my martial arts classes. This past week I had to take part in 2 different belt tests. One for Jujitsu and the other for Hapkido. I aced both pretty easily, but I think I shined on the Hapkido test. Well I guess I didn’t have much of a choice, as I was the only taking it. If I were to make an error it would be pretty apparent. But luckily at this point these things are almost second nature and I finished without much trouble. … Ok so I made a few mistakes and I think I still have a lot to work on, but if I were perfect at it then it wouldn’t be as much fun as it is.
Yesterday I advanced to my 3rd red (half red, half black). I don’t even know the proper term for this belt but I do know that it’s one belt away from black. March will be the next test and my test into black belt. I think this test is going to be, in many ways, much more difficult than my previous ones. Well that’s what my instructor says, and he hasn’t lied to me yet.
March isn’t that far away if you think about it, but I think I still have a long way to go.
hihi~ ohisashiburi goshujinsama, ojousama<3
emi has been really super swamped with schoolwork lately…! you would think that majoring in comics makes life easier… it doesn’t!! it’s junior year so that means junior thesis! which means a 19 page comic which really, i guess, isn’t much considering some mangaka do that in a week, but i-i’m doing this all alone! and i hate drawing backgrounds… ganbarimasu.
but i also dyed my hair recently!! jyanjyan~~
hahaha just kidding that is a wig @w@// gomen nasai goshujinsama ojousama…
wait! i’m not kidding! i did dye my hair, that is really a wig but it’s pretty much the same color… XD the wig is just curlier and longer :3
what? you don’t believe me anymore? uu,, ;_;
Hello Everybody,
I am back. I was so lazy for the couple weeks. I finally decided on the posting on the blog again.
See what did I do recently?
YAY – Kchan finally performed in the big dance on stage – the Hapi Hapi Morningu. Thanks everybody for helping me practicing. I am still bad but I will practice more and more.
The maid cafe has been busy recently. We have couple of events coming up.
Friday November 13, our maids will be hosting a cosplay contest at uWink club in Hollywood and Highland
Saturday November 14, we have an event at HAX with ActiveGamers.
Saturday November 21st, we have our 3rd event at Yorba Park.
I have to practice more dances – more dances…ahhh
Ohhh – I took my midterms last week – I FAILED..oh well…i ended up watching anime and drama…all night..i deserved it. hic hic hic..
I will try harder next time – my teacher said that..maybe he just wants me to stay in the class or else he will have bad review from the school asking why so many students dropped from his class.
Next semester, I will start taking Japanese class at a college next home.
I can’t wait for Xmas – I love Xmas…

Hai hai~ Good afternoon Goshujinsama, Ojousama and my darling maids and hosts!

Tanpopo’s dream is to cos Meltdown!Rin and perform this song live someday! *u*
That is all~ Must go scan some meido art an do more claning!
Love you all~vvv
So another convention has come and gone. This past weekend was the Pacific Media Expo otherwise known as PMX. What is PMX? Well it’s an expo that features media .. from the pacific. … Yeah, I can really paint a picture.
If you’re into anime, j-rock, lolita manga or anything related to the Japanese culture, chances are they’re going to have something there for you to enjoy.
PMX is a small convention, but it’s size both hurts and helps it. Because it’s small there isn’t a whole lot for you to do, but also, because of it’s condensed size it’s a perfect convention to just hang out with some old friends or even make some new ones.
There weren’t a lot of cosplayers there, but what it lacked in cosplay it made up for in lolita fashion. .. Or maybe it just seemed that way because of the people I was around during the Con.
They even had a lolita fashion show. .. Which I attended .. Yay …
Angelic Pretty Lolita Fashion Show – PMX 2009
I only shot the Angelic Pretty portion of the show, because they also had a shop set up at the Con, and we had to zip over there to be the first in line after the show. Luckily we were, and Maiyu managed to get the dress she eyed at the show. I was given the privilege of snapping the first photos of her in her new dress.
Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:
It seems to me that the lolita craze is becoming more and more popular, which could be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view. Me personally I don’t mind it. In fact a part of me rather enjoys it. I get to take photos of girls dressed as dolls, and they have fun doing it.
I didn’t get to experience every aspect of the Con. There were a few minor details that slipped passed me, but what I did get to experience, I had fun with. Again; the con isn’t very big, but if you play your cards right it can be a very enjoyable experience. It’s a con that is very much what you make of it.
.. Oh and if anyone can tell me how to embed video onto hear, that’d be great.
