Hello there, sorry if this isn't appropriate to make a thread about..

This is Jo - I was wandering around with my friend in the BtSSB onepiece carrying one of my BJDs

Just wanted to properly say hi, since I was being all shy for some reason and couldn't quite bring myself to butt into anyones conversations to introduce myself >__<

I was very surprised and happy to win the little mini fashion parade, my first gothic lolita bible <33, I always feel ashamed that I'm no seamstress and can't make my own things (hence why I've never posted here before despite being registered for a couple of months).

I'm going to be there again tomorrow if anyone else is there. I'd really love to attend the next meet whenever its planned XD

Heya, welcome. I think I amthe only member still awake. The rest are all tuckered out. But you dont have to be shy about saying hello. That's how you meet ppl! And we're all a friendly lot.

If you wanna see us all in the same place tomorrow, (well forthose of us going) ACG are doing the cosplay panel @midday in the little theatre, Metaonia, Cat_M, starfirephoenix are running it, and apperantly I'm also doing it?!

But there will be a few other members there. So pop along and say hi!

Hi Jo! *big wave*

I was the lolita in the pink bolero, green skirt and white ling-lam shoes at the fashion parade. I think I also caught your eye the next day in the vendor's hall when I was wearing my green tartan skirt and cap ensemble. I tried to catch up with you later to say hi but didn't find you around in my wanderings.

Congratulations on winning the parade award. It was so much fun to be in the parade, even if I felt very shy at the time!

I hope you get the chance to meetup with the Adelaide lolitas. I think they had something planned for late July....

Hello I remember you after catching the tale end of the lolita fashion parade.

Do we have something planned for late July?? I'm not sure, but it sounds like I'd better start looking into a few options for the next meet now that AVCon is finished... but maybe after I have some sleep

[Starfire Phoenix]

Welcome Jo! You and your doll looked so beautiful!

[Atory]

I was going to try and organize a meet-up every 2 months. I was thinking of having a high-tea in late September after the proposed workshop.

The way it is going I think a meet-up every month may be in order (if possible). We could alternate in organizing them.

I remember you definitely Were you wearing IW? It looked like Innocent World, but I know you're a great seamstress from seeing some posts here... ^^ You looked completely adorable either way

I was only there for the cosplay so I didn't see the saturday lolitas unfortunately. Some of the photos are great though. On sunday I was doing a half hearted Nana cosplay in the black bustle skirt and tartan corset. I'm really hoping that one of the people who took a photo puts it up soon, but I don't like my chances. I forgot to take my camera along.

[Metanoia]

Atory, it would be great if you could organise one every two months and I'll do the same, alternating. That would indeed be fantabulous for our little lolita community!! I will talk to you soon about it

[Atory]

I should be able to make it to the next social meet-up at the pancake kitchen. Will you be there?

*blush* big compliment for me since everything I was wearing except the pink bolero was handmade. IW is one of my favorite brands for sure so comparing my stuff to theirs is a HUGE compliment for me. Thank you. I'm already looking at starting my next project which will be a blue one piece or JSK... still looking for inspiration at this point.

I really hope you get a chance to catch up with the Adelaide lolitas as they are all really lovely people. Hopefully sometime in the future I'll make it down to Adelaide for another visit and see if I can't organise a lolita meetup for the same weekend

Kimi... you looked gorgeous as Nana! That wig was also fabulous on you! I didn't realise it was you until Alison told me afterwards! Was your black skirt handmade because it was really swish.

[Loli-Goth]

Hey Jo! I got a great photo of you and your BJD at Avcon. I was like, the only Gothic Lolita there. I loved your dress. Hope you had fun!

[Starfire Phoenix]

I loooooved Cat's outfit from Sunday:



The hat just finishes it off!

You lolita girls make me want to get back to work on my cherry dress

Thankyou, I was having trouble with the wig because it was really front heavy, so I could barely see anything. Even my own brother didn't recognise me! And yup, I made the skirt. I copied the design from one I found on F+F, now I just need to find something with enough oomph to make it puff out properly. I had put some steel hoops in it but they didn't hold it well enough. I think a full bamboo hoop skirt might be in order.

Did you make the shirt you were wearing too? I love your little tam-o-shanter hat. It really topped your outfit off nicely.

[~Desert Rose~]

I didnt go to Avcon, coz i didnt have anyone to go with, but I would love to come to the next lolita meet up, Ive been wanting to make a Lolita outfit for a while, but never had a reason till I came on here! -I had no idea there were any lolitas in Adelaide,
Speaking of High-Tea Atory, -has anyone ever been to a little place on Unley Road Called "Just Tickled Pink"? -Ive never actually been in, but its a recent discovery of mine, and it looks devine!

[Shi Tenshi]

I just lol'd when someone ran up to me (Doona chick IIRC) trying to hand me a RORITA piece of paper with meet ups etc on it.

I just looked at it, looked at her and gave it back.

I told her I was from Melbourne to which she replied with "ahhh that would be why I haven't seen you before "

=/ XD

[Wildcat]

Hi Jo!

I was the white lolita judging the parade (the one that actually handed you the Gothic and Lolita Bible <3).

I look forward to catching up with you at the next Adelaide Lolita Fashion Meet

I'm definately looking into a high tea for the next one I organise, but it will probably cost around $20 ea.

Atory, I will try and get there so we can chat. I think it is after my next pay so I should be able to afford it

Shi: what do you mean you won't be at our next lolita meet???

[laliibeans]

I haven't been to Spats Cafe since I moved away from Goodwood, but the setting would be perfect for a meetup. The food isn't the best (except the garlic bread) but the drinks are good and they do strawberry crepes.
