It's full of wonderful Japanese cultural stuff and is just amazing to check out at a neighborhood nearby. This year, IK has been honorably chosen to run a small booth at a Cherry Blossom event on April 6th, 2013!!! Check out the event on Facebook:<br />

I'm pretty jazzed up as we get to showcase our work, and Spazzy has a few things he wants to show from his artistic side (which is most of him)! I'm so happy he is coming out of his turtle shell ^.^ He gets so shy. I hope everyone will like his paper crafts! He did this Eevee the other day:<br />

<br />
On another note, I made a short survey regarding our shop and your thoughts. I'd love to know what exactly you like in it and what you'd like to see more of. We have lots of plans in the summer, so this will help us improve our items and the shop more. But mostly we'd like to make you sweeteas happy ^.^! So far it has been collecting interesting results. I'm extremely flattered a lot of people enjoy my original creations than fan art stuff. That really...really...means a lot to me :']<br />
<br />
Survey is here and completely anonymous: <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GKB8SC6">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GKB8SC6</a><br />

Thank you in advance sweeteas!<br />

Woah!)Hello! I know I don't blog much on here, but I frequently update the <a href="http://facebook.com/imperfectkawaii" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> of what is happening ^_^ So some of you may have notice I haven't been posting new items, photos, or sneak peaks for the past two months. Well lots have been happening just those two months O_O<br />

I'm a psychiatric nurse and a caregiver. I have mixed hours per week @_@ Sometimes I'm full time, sometimes I'm part time. It doesn't bother me as my rent is not high and I get paid decently (not like major $20 an hour haha). I basically help with the clients/patients daily living, give medications, supervise, re-organize and update their care plans, and input behavioral reports on the computer. In February we had a few new employees at the facility and my boss left me in charge to train each of them in the facility, so most of my first few weeks of Feb were spent at the facility. <br />

A week or so after Valentine's Day, I got bronchitis and then the flu, and then bronchitis again :[ It lasted for about 2-3 weeks as my body is immune to antibiotics. So, the healing process was pretty slow for my bronchitis. Thank heavens Spazzy was there to aid me when I had the flu. After that I had been taking care of my mother as she was scared of her up coming surgery.<br />
<a href="http://dl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/2814/2814681jxzl0pxbkg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" src="http://dl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/2814/2814681jxzl0pxbkg.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
Just last week, my mother had a sigmoid surgery to get rid of all the polyps present in her colon. I was the only one who could drive her to USC hospital and take care of her as much as I can. She is better now and moving as if nothing happened ^_^ Sadly last Saturday morning, the bronchitis crept up on me again :[ Since antibiotics is nothing to my system, I'm still getting over it. I haven't had this condition for a long while (since I was about 10 years old was the last time) so it was crazy that it came back all of a sudden. As of now I'm more functional and able to breath, but the coughing gets annoying. <br />
<br />
I usually don't share personal life stuff, but I've been not so active with the shop for 2 months O_O; So sorry sweeteas! And I'm still finishing up the grand prize for our anniversary give away! Most likely will just have it up at the start of April ^.^;<br />

I feel like doing a little survey~ Something a little personal from the whole crafting and food adventures I do ^.^ Got this cute Lolita fashion survey from this blogger: <a href="http://dippedinchoco.blogspot.co.at/">http://dippedinchoco.blogspot.co.at</a> . Let's start!<br />

Nickname and date of birth.</b><br />
Chibi, born 1/8.<br />
<b><br />
2.Where were you born? And where do you live now?</b><br />
Cali, and still in Sunny Cali!<br />
<br />
<b>3. Why did you start wearing Lolita?</b><br />
I liked it from afar and from Japanese magazines throughout high school, but didn't think the clothes were accessible in America. Years later I started reading this blogger <a href="http://happimilk.net/">happimilk.net</a> and see she was a starting Lolita and where she got her outfits. I was like OH EM<br />
GEE!!! So I started off small with my sister and ordered from Bodyline and fell more in love with the fashion ^_^<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4. Which Lolita style do you like the most?</b><br />
Oh so hard to pick, because I really like them all! My most favorite at this moment is a tie between Gothic and Hime/Princess. <br />
<br />
<b>5. Which Lolita style would you not like to wear?</b><br />
Probably Shiro/All white...cause I'm pretty clumsy when eating ^_^;;;<br />
<b><br />
6. Describe your dream Lolita outfit.</b><br />
Dinosaur print. In pastel happy go lucky dinos, and one in black with their skeletons or the t-rex rawring with thunder lightning very very frightening. Would pay $350 for a new one hands down!<br />

7. Do you have piercings or tattoos?</b><br />
No piercings, clinic policies :[ and temp tattoos I sometimes have ^.^<br />
<b><br />
8. What´s your favorite Lolita brand?</b><br />
Baby, the Stars Shine Bright<3 br="br">
<b><br />
9. What´s your favorite piece in your Lolita closet?</b><br />
Oh my! I love them all!!! But my favvey fave at this moment in time and the fact it's on my wall right now would be my lavender Jewelry Jelly. Which is also the first AP print dress I've seen (in magazines lol Katy Perry) prior to owning one :'D<br />
<br />
<b>10. How many Lolita friends do you have?</b><br />
LOL, I have a lot of acquaintances now, but I have a handful that are total sweethearts and fun to be with ^.^<br />
<br />
<b>11. What do you like most about Lolita?</b><br />
It's out of the usual shirt and jeans routine I do. I love the little details on the dresses such as lace, bows, fabrics! I could just snuggle my pink BTSSB Cat's Boutique dress to sleep cause of it's fabric. Some would think it's just a dress, but when you pay attention to details (besides the print if it's a print dress), there's just so much going on with that alone! And I also like that I don't have to worry about my wide hips, heehee. Oh, the modesty too xD<br />
<b><br />
12. What do you dislike about Lolita?</b><!--3--><!--3--><!--3--><!--3--><!--3--></3><br />
Hmmm...I'm not too sure. I could say the price, but it does take a lot of work to make stuff. I guess nothing except how sad it is that the fashion gets stereotyped that we attract pedos or some sexual fetish. It's like a crime to be able to wear what you wanna put on your bod :/<br />
<br />
<b><br />
13.Which Lolita magazine do you read regularly?</b><br />
Lol none T___T; and that magazine I saw that had lolitas, it was a j-mag with everything.<br />
<br />
<b>14. Headdress, bonnet or head eating bow.</b><br />
I like them all! But for me to wear, head eating bow.<br />
<br />
<b>15. Do you wear bloomers?</b><br />
...no... *hangs head down in shame* -/////- <br />
<b><br />16. What´s your favorite music?</b><br />
I like a lot! My most fave kind of music is synth-rock and synth-pop. I like the digitalness I suppose heehee ^.^! For bands my favorite is Muse and The Birthday Massacre~<br />
<a href="http://sl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/3328/3328247uyxazw2qee.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="90" src="http://sl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/3328/3328247uyxazw2qee.gif" width="90" /></a><b><br />
</b><b>17. What´s your ringtone?</b><br />
Oppa Gangnam Style OTL<br />
<a href="http://sl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/597/597985r3z1p0s9xp.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="128" src="http://sl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/597/597985r3z1p0s9xp.gif" width="99" /></a> <b><br />
18. Do you work/ go to school/ study?</b><br />
EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
<b>19. Do you attend meet- ups?</b><br />
Sometimes. Depends on where, how much, how far, what we doin', and who's going. Cause I'm shy ^///^<br />
<br />
<b>20. Which colors do you like most in Lolita?</b><br />
black, light pink, red, mint, sax, lav, teal, and wine. <br />
<br />
That was fun ^_^ I used to do so many surveys back on MySpace.<br />
<br />
That's all for today sweeteas! Till next blog time~<br />

I heard the news couple weeks ago that Tokidoki was doing a warehouse sale on some of their stock! I kept debating whether to go or not due to the distance and me freaking out at driving to new places and getting lost ^_^; I wanted to get something for Spazzy since his birthday was coming.<br />
<a name='more'></a>We're both pretty big fans of Simone Legno and his Tokidoki work (you can <span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><a href="http://imperfectkawaii.blogspot.com/2010/05/ik-team-meets-simone-legno-of-tokidoki.html" target="_blank">read our past blog of our adventure of meeting him</a></span>! ). I couldn't hide this secret and each time I saw it on Facebook of their announcement, I had to ask Spazzy to take us there, heehee. It was a 2-day sale from Friday 10am -2pm, and Saturday the 29th from 9am to 2pm. We decided to go on Saturday and bright and early!<br />
<br />
It was going to be a long day. We were getting ready at 5am! I know our tummies would need some breakfast, so I prepared us some Eggo waffles and scrambled eggs. My plate (pic at right) all thrown together sloppy ^.^; I made Spazzy's plate a little more pretty but he was already eating while I took this shot, haha. We left the house at 6am~ We did some stops like getting gas, a 5hr energy shot, soda, and an atm @_@; We hit the freeway little before 6:20am.<br />
<br />

We got to the area 7am and parked a street away since there was already no parking near the warehouse, and there were some people in line. We got to the line at 7:10 am. In the picture, the yellow arrow is where the first person is ^_^ so we weren't that far. Spazzy and I huddled and play games on our iphone and DS. By 8:30am, the line has already curved around a school and to where we can see...and then by 8:50am, the line has already wrapped around to the other street! At 9am, we were let in by small groups. They gave us clear shopping bags ^_^ A lot of girls ran towards the purses. I found one purse I liked that was $100 off! I let it go though as I thought I had too many clashy Tokidoki purses T_T; but now I regret it cause it was quite a steal AND a carnival theme. There were mostly Marvel themed stuff and some of the Pride Lions. <br />
<br />
<br />

Spazzy and I got real lucky finds! I was able to snag this Spiderman getting bit by Bastardino tee! This shirt is usually hard to get online or in stores~ So I'm pretty satisfied. The birthday boy picked out a nice hoodie with his two fave: Adios and Spidey. His hoodie was about $60 and it was $20, while my shirt is $12. I didn't get another shirt for $8 more T_T;<br />
<br />
The sale is amazing! Shirts were cheap, hoodies were a steal, so were purses! but wow girls were clutching them with their life! and hats at $15~ Best part is it was tax free ^.^! I really really hope they do this again next year! I'll be sure to bring more cash >:] pweehee and really take advantage of all the savings. Well, here is my current Tokidoki obsession collection:<br />

When it comes to brand purses, I always prefer Tokidoki ^_^ Hopefully they do the sale again next year ^__^ They really planned it out smoothly and kept the line flowing at a good pace. </div>

Meet my special bowfriend Kat! She is the owner of <span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lolitachiquita" target="_blank">Lolita Chiquita</a></span> ^_^ She sales lots of cute things with her sidekick and sweetheart. We met at a tea place around February and we just stared at each other. I guess it's a lolita thing, lol. And then re-united at Frank and Sons (a warehouse filled with vendors selling game cards, collectibles, etc) and became friends and go to tea together ^.^!<br />
<br />
Her stuff is so cute and easy on the wallet. Everything is so whimsical and fun ^_^ I decided the same day to give her her trade (we traded stuff lol) and take some snoopz of her table to share to you sweeteas! I can't wait to see her again and the stuff she makes ^.^!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Being an Elite Yelper definitely has it's perks! For those who don't know yet, "<a href="http://www.yelp.com/" target="_blank">Yelp</a>" is a popular website dedicated to everyday people to freely post reviews of restaurants, stores, and other places for others to read up. So being an Elite (had reviewed several places and was chosen to become part of this exclusive team), I was invited to attend a wonderful event hosted by Katie B., one of the Yelp Ambassador, to a private cupcake decorating session with her and a few other Yelpers. I'm very happy that one of my high school friends who is an Elite Yelper was invited too! We were provided cupcakes, coffee, and...DUFF GOLDMAN! <br /><br />

Place is all the way in Melrose, West Hollywood to be exact. It was quite a drive for me and TriPpy (friend from high school and a fellow Yelper reviewer!). The cute cupcakery is called Duff's Cake Mix! I'll provide a review for the place later on ^_^ So we were seated at a decorating station~ Was given aprons and some lessons on how to work with fondant~ It was a bit difficult for me because the gloves were too loose @_@ I should of went up and asked for a children sized gloves. Nonetheless, I had a good time trying to decorate the cupcakes. Everyones' cupcakes looked reaaaaally good! I was like blah on mine.</div>

I seriously thought it was a worker there who was putting his insights on the frosting. I looked up and went O___O It was quite a surprise! Lol, TriPpy noticed him first and caught him on her camera. He was extremely nice and very chilled. He walked around all over the shop, checking everyones' work and chatting it up. It was A M A Z I N G! </div>

Yayayayay! Got a photo with Duff ^_^ He noticed from my cupcake, my accessories, my dress, and my camera, that I'm into Hello Kitty and all things cute =^.^= He showed me on his phone a picture of him hiding behind a really big Hello Kitty statue, heehee. He's so fun! And I got his autograph on my Yelp sticker badge :D</div>
<br />
<br />
So it was time to pack up our cupcakes and head on home T^T Before that, we decided to hit up Charm City Cakes next door to see Duff again and check out the cakes! It's so cool! It's better in person than on TV! I'm extremely excited to have a dream wedding cake *____* and the fact I don't have to order a cake some states over is awesome~<br />

Sorry for the uber delay on an update of how Anime Expo went for us! As we have announced, it was IK's first time to be premiered ever at a convention and artist alley! I've always been just taking some of my crafts to lolita meets that <a href="http://lemontree11blog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">LemonTree11</a> hosts. Thanks to our lovely sponsor <a href="http://www.facebook.com/fairytalefashionboutique" target="_blank">MugiBunny.com/FairytaleBoutique</a>, we were given the chance to showcase what Imperfect Kawaii has to offer!</div>

Photo (Day 3 and our table ^.^) above is my sweet big lolita sister and shop, Mochi-chan of <a href="http://kawaiigoods.com/" target="_blank">KawaiiGoods.com</a>~ It was her 2nd time at AX and being in the AA. She was guiding me throughout the whole entire way from Day 0. We were lucky to have gotten our badges so quickly before the check in time, and we were able to squeeze Spazzy in as our last minute helper. As you can see in the photo, we have a single named shop, "Cosmic Kawaii Sisters". We thought it would be easier for AX staff to comprehend even though we were two different shops. I love how our crafts are made differently but we aimed to spread cuteness. <br />

Photo above was of Day 2 of AX ^_^ We matched the first and second day of the convention. First day was Jewelry Jelly, and second day was Milky Berry. We were very busy throughout all the days so my photos are lacking @_@ I love how Mochi always wants to add some kind of dark to her coordinates while I stay with the soft white or pinks underneath my jumperskirts haha. It was incredible being guided by her and the team work we had was awesome! I hadn't had a breakdown since she was so easy to work with ^.^! We closed up early on the second day because we were going to party with Misako Aoki ^____^!!! Saw many familiar faces and new ones. <br />

Thanks to Spazzy being our helper (though he was lucky to be able to get into the convention early and roam around all day), it gave us a chance to explore the convention for a little while. I was able to go to a signing Misako Aoki was doing at the Angelic Pretty booth! She is just so lovely and dreamy to be next to~ <br />

Asides the awesome sales made, we also had very sweet and fun neighbors at the AA ^.^ I got this cute Jake key lanyard from the artist on our right ^__^!<br />
<br />
So in conclusion, I had a very bright outlook in this experience! I made enough to pay off my hefty supplies (cause I thought I didn't make enough for 4 days!), ticket, tea time ticket, food, and table! And the other half was profit! I have learned a lot from Mochi and customers. What really got me the most were the compliments and encouragement I got. That's what I've really needed. I have received so much that it made me feel better about my work. I usually think my artwork is craptacular. Will I bring IK to a convention again? Perhaps ^_^ It was really fun! One of my temp. workers suggested doing it bi-yearly since I have to focus on my health occupation moreso. Till then, I cannot wait to go to more conventions and someday be part of an artist alley again~<br />
<br />
Till next time sweeteas!<br />

Hope everyone has been well and you have joined our Giveaway on Facebook and/or Tumblr ^_^ I will host one here soon...possibly near the holidays when it comes :]<br /><br />I have wonderful news and explains why I haven't been blogging when I said I would @_@ sorry!!! I will be selling at ANIME EXPO!!! For just one day, lol, Saturday. It is all good ^.^ Our shop will be filling in for <a href="http://www.mugibunny.com">Mugibunny</a> that day since she has something to do. I'm very excited and nervous. It is my first time vending at a convention T~T I'll be under guidance with <a href="http://www.kawaiigoods.com">KawaiiGoods</a>. So yes, I am currently extra busy making more charms to show off my "skills". I sometimes feel like I'm in Cupcake Wars or Sweet Genius while I'm crafting. I honestly do talk to myself in my head as if I'm a baker competing heehee. I will try to post some pictures of what I've done here, Deviant Art, and Facebook. Hope it tempts some people to come visit me and look at my work in person ^____^ yes?<br /><br />And another note, I may be moving to a new location (not too far from where I'm at right now). So more news on that. If that's the case, Spazzy will be holding the shop in his room LOL so orders can still be processed and we can still work for the convention inventory.<br /><br />Now I leave you a little commercial like photo of our Happy Packs! They're at a happy price and a great sampler to buy to try out some Imperfect Kawaii taste ^.^<br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729660317755593378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieLserCcsi-WMbTorjFjCjJ48GPlcev2TBd51tVdEiz1RkT0v9hZ9rS99WrFoy9aOOL120_1rFOKeJKsqC2vry3xCwEk2joha8HosDc6BrOuPHb2w4b-Pow83lL_wWIeF76U8h6fWrB5Y/s320/P1020889.JPG" /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZbylHNJU2susDi6C6Sa1U7owwFoKX31I9TbfLenjrUHQMUMR50vvUpmCD_REciNHA5zUmZ1W2d82fzPaVeQjrz2Ly5n4PI4rus9p6ts7vci6zVk5vGI1moz1v5TdUBqtOCB8oFV6DJU/s1600/P1020894.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729660323556920514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZbylHNJU2susDi6C6Sa1U7owwFoKX31I9TbfLenjrUHQMUMR50vvUpmCD_REciNHA5zUmZ1W2d82fzPaVeQjrz2Ly5n4PI4rus9p6ts7vci6zVk5vGI1moz1v5TdUBqtOCB8oFV6DJU/s320/P1020894.JPG" /></a><br />You can purchase at any IK shop~Chibiusahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15697881347095564864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659997803795241208.post-76902971304619008802012-03-25T02:47:00.005-07:002012-03-25T02:55:24.878-07:00GIVEAWAY TIME!Imperfect Kawaii is now 3 years old!

So basically during the 1st year I've been a seller on Etsy ^_^; SORRY!!! But now I'm back and ready to blog (sometimes when I can). I do recommend following the shop on Facebook and Tumblr as I update there the most since it's pretty accessible on my iPhone.
<br />
<br />For the duration of the past years, I've been in school and on and off jobs ^_^ I'm currently a happy little Nurse Assistant and still going to school forever for my Bachelors in Nursing Science for my Registered Nursing. Haha...it's a tough crowd out there. Other than that, school is the same and I have work sometimes as a nurse aide.
<br />
<br />I still update Etsy quite sometime, but I've also made an official web shop
<br /><a href="http://imperfectkawaii.weebly.com">http://imperfectkawaii.weebly.com</a>
<br />I put a lot of items that I make there first before Etsy ^_^ It's not a fancy site or anything, but it helps people see what's in stock if they're ordering locally ^.^ I've been making tons of clay stuff, interesting commissions over the years! and some more decoden stuff. You could see those on Facebook or DeviantArt~
<br />
<br />Annnnnd one more new thing that has happened to my life. I've became a part time LOLITA FASHIONISTA! And I dearly love it! It has made me more comfortably with my body to the point I wear anything be it in lolita or casual~ It has also allowed me to meet other wonderful lolitas at meet ups, even my role model who also owns a shop called Kawaii Goods. Mochi-chan(owner of KG) and I have been close friends ever since my first lolita meet up and encounter with her. Along with this phenomenon, I met LemonTree11 aka Oli! She sells lots of fluffy bows and I became an addict. She allowed me to expand my business at meet ups she hosted. It was great and I'm happy a lot of people liked my crafts =^_^=
<br />
<br />Welpz, I've been away because of school, work, social life,got a smart phone and dunno if there's a fancy app for blogspot heehee. I will try my bestest to update this blog more often like events, new line of items, etc.
<br />
<br />I will also conjure a video of all the creations I've made over the past several years ^_^;
<br />
<br />Also, I call my followers <b>Sweeteas</b> whether you're a male or female, you'll always be my sweetest cup of tea~ I've also became a tea addict thanks to Spazzy my boyfriend haha.
<br />
<br />Chibi☆彡
<br />
<br />p.s. The two awesome lolitas I mentioned earlier:

Sorry we haven't been updating our blogspot ^__^;;; We've been focusing on DeviantArt for some reason. It keeps on switching! Haha. We still love our Blogspot of course :] Do you still love us?<br /><br />♡Some of you may know that we have an official webstore besides Etsy. This store is on MySpace, heehee. We have decided that it may be best that we venture away from the MySpace world and actually create our own world for our little creations and for all our customers and viewers to go to without feeling any obligations to sign up with MySpace or Etsy. Paypal is a must though, heehee ^_^ So, we've decided that we shall soon open up our own official webstore without using a social network. We will still use Etsy though :D We love Etsy!<br /><br />♡Spazzy and I (Chibi) are both college students. As much as we enjoy crafting and making comics, we're very busy with school and finding a job ( don't get us wrong, we love our IK job but we have big plans in the future ;] ). So we decided to ask for donations towards our fans =^_^= Any donation amount is fine! But we've decided to do a little something for people who donate more than enough!<br /><br />♡♡♡For every $5 you donate, you get a free cell phone or figure charm commission (size of about a penny to quarter)! Please do refer back to our DA portfolio http://imperfectkawaii.deviantart.com for what we can do for you! In a message on paypal at donation or email us, please let us know what you'd like me to make for you ^_^ any color, animal, thing, kawaii faced! I just ask no copyrighted stuff or buggies ^.^; Working time is about 3-7 days and we'll let update you on how your charm is doing and when shipped :] If you live locally and don't have paypal, when I see you is fine ^_^ We're only doing this till we have enough to get our new home (which is like $60)! Donate as much as you want, even a penny! Click the donate button under our little letter ^.^!♡♡♡<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/atkfip.jpg"><br /><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><br /><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"><br /><input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="69YLS8Z3PZRLE"><br /><input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"><br /></form><br /></center>Chibiusahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15697881347095564864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659997803795241208.post-56035397007292599502010-05-23T17:02:00.000-07:002010-05-23T17:03:31.770-07:00IK team meets Simone Legno of Tokidoki!<p><strong>WARNING!</strong> Somewhat long story ahead, but some pics! Just scroll to look at the pics xD</p><br /><p>I finally got a chance to meet Simone Legno!!! The creator of Tokidoki :] Taken place at South Coast Plaza at Costa Mesa ^__^ It's good to be in Cali!</p><br /><p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs510.ash1/30089_10150196080295203_688000202_12438378_2401267_n.jpg" /></p><br /><p>I missed Simone Legno, creator of Tokidoki, at the Melrose Tokidoki store opening because it was pretty cold and I didn't want to cause my boyfriend to drive a kazillion miles just to get an autograph. Luckily last month I found out that he was coming to Costa Mesa. I just had to meet him! It was going to be at a place I was most familiar with (sorta) and who knows when he'd be back to visit :[ So my boyfriend and I planned our trip ^___^</p><br /><p>We came in our Tokidoki clothing, of course :]</p><br /><p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs510.ash1/30089_10150196080305203_688000202_12438379_1352006_n.jpg" height="226" width="168" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs530.snc3/30089_10150196081885203_688000202_12438555_3444179_n.jpg" height="230" width="307" /></p><br /><p>We made it safely to the big mall ^_^ The line wasn't too long. Once Sephora opened, the crew gave us all wrist bands with numbers so that we can go ahead and roam around the mall (it was barely 10am and Simone is to arrive at 1pm) and come back to our spots. We were number #22 and 23 ^__^ I've made some purchases in order to get a free frenzy ($25 purchase). It's so weird I didn't intend to buy anything, but this week I lost my L'oreal mascara :[ So, I decided that it'd be cool to get the Tokidoki Mascara! Haha. But it wasn't enuff to get the freebie, so I purchased some Cactus pups finger nail buffers xD They're so cute! As for the freebie, we got Bastardino ^.^ I let my boyfriend have it because he loves the doggy :]</p><br /><p><img src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs530.snc3/30089_10150196081615203_688000202_12438522_6977119_n.jpg" /></p><br /><p>After shopping in Sephora and oogling at the cuteness of the stuff, well, me oogling at it and squeeling with excitement, we decided to walk around the mall ^_^</p><br /><p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs550.snc3/30089_10150196080310203_688000202_12438380_7132844_n.jpg" height="172" width="231" /><img src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs550.snc3/30089_10150196081005203_688000202_12438431_5013953_n.jpg" height="171" width="229" /></p><br /><p>When we got back, there was A LOT of people, more than before. There was a photo session going on with SANDy ^_^</p><br /><p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs530.snc3/30089_10150196081020203_688000202_12438434_5432755_n.jpg" height="310" width="231" /></p><br /><p>Not even 1pm yet, and Simone Legno appears O_O He waved to everyone and went into the store to sit in his booth. He had so many markers that he brought by himself in his own Tokidoki bag ^_^ We're lucky to be in the first group to go in, even before 1pm he already started drawing for everyone! Everyone was to go one on one with him =^.^= I was so uberly nervous and excited and happy! So many thoughts went through my mind. I've also brought my first Mini Munny that I made around 2007 or 08 and was inspired by him. I wanted to let him have it for being such a sport of making his fans so happy and also taking the time to draw everyone their fave Tokidoki charrie.</p><br /><p><img src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs530.snc3/30089_10150196082835203_688000202_12438646_626666_n.jpg" height="309" width="426" /></p><br /><p>My heart was beating so fast as we came closer to getting to his booth. Wubzies (boyfriend's official nickname since we dated) was trying to calm me down and one of the crew lady was cheering me on that it's our turn soon =^__^= Then...it was our turn. I gulped and blushed and went up to Simone. He greeted with a simple hello and a warm smile. I was so shy and spoke really timidly. He then got my name which was written on the post-it. He...he got my name RIGHT on the first try when he said it. I was in shock! Not a lot of people get my name right =/ but he did! I was like OH MY GOSH. Every person gets to have one sketch and one signature anywhere. I chose the unicorn cause I don't have anything with the unicorn on it, and I asked the signature to be on my Mozzarella vinyl figureenie ^_^ He grabbed his sharpie and went ZOOM ZAP CHEWY! He was drawing really fast! It wasn't the type like he wanted to get done fast, but like he was used to drawing all of them xD It was so impressive!</p><br /><p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs510.ash1/30089_10150196081060203_688000202_12438441_3992424_n.jpg" height="199" width="266" /><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs510.ash1/30089_10150196081050203_688000202_12438439_1729968_n.jpg" height="198" width="268" /></p><br /><p>Then...I took out of my bag the mini munny I made, Riko, and said all shyly,"I...made this for you." A smile came across his face and he looked at it for a long while and said thank you =^_^= Then picture time!</p><br /><p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs550.snc3/30089_10150196081595203_688000202_12438519_3258804_n.jpg" height="194" width="215" /></p><br /><p>Eep! I didn't know how happy I really was during this event! My dimples are showing in this photo above and throughout the whole way going home X__X My boyfriend was very lucky on his sketch :P We're only suppose to get ONE charrie, and he got two because he could not make up his mind. He requested to Simone for Adios to walk Bastardino xD! Wubzies was very happy too :]</p><br /><p><img src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs550.snc3/30089_10150196081575203_688000202_12438515_1382053_n.jpg" height="176" width="236" /></p><br /><p>After he got his sketchbook back and got his picture taken, Simone said bye to us, and then...he looked to me and said,"Thank you for the present ________(my name, haha, I like it anonymous on here)". I felt like dropping on the floor since he remembered my name. But instead I was like hyperventilating until we got to the parking lot...well not even, cause it continued on the rest of the way home xD Me and Wubzies were in so much wow! It really, really, felt like a dream! We finally met Simone Legno of Tokidoki! The creator of all the stuff we wear and adore! I still feel like omg. The day ended with some In n Out for linner :]</p><br /><p>I'm so very very happy to have gone to this event! I'm glad Wubzies made sure we went :D haha. That day was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Meeting Simone, getting a really good quality mascara!, being with my boyfriend, In & Out, seeing my boyfriend be really happy!, encounter an ol' buddy at Frank & Sons, another ol' buddy at Wubzies' house, finishing up my vocab, coming home without mommy going snappy, and now, bloggy this day and remembering it! It still feels too good to be true that we met him. I really owe it to my honey-bunchies! He just wanted me to be really happy, and glad it's the whole day with nothing gone wrong ^_^</p><br /><p><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs510.ash1/30089_10150196080285203_688000202_12438377_3863825_n.jpg" height="217" width="181" /></p><br /><p>This is the best day of the year yet!

I've been busy with school and trying to get a job. I want to become a lady. Anywho, that fact is important because, I somehow got some sales and had some monies ^_^ I was looking to see if a friend of mine said when she'd be going to Germany. I went to her shop and was like OMG NOOO!!! It was sooner than I thought! I vowed to myself to buy at least one thing in each of my closest Etsy buddies' shop! This was a good chance to buy before she would go. But, what captivate me most was this bunny ring as I'm wearing =^_^= perfect for Easter and I do adore the fluffyness :] I just had to have it! Even if I am always on budget, but it's good to treat myself to something besides sweets ^_^ Also she was departing from USA :[ but for a happy ending of course ^_^ heehee. I'm honored to introduce to all my readers (if any, har har) <span style="font-weight:bold;">Miss Mercy</span>! My shopping experience with her is amazing! When my bunny arrived through the mail, I was so happy! It was carefully packaged and inside was like a party favor ^_^ I even got a lollipop, her cutesy business card (omg, you have got to see her Etsy banner!), and plastic bows for my hair :] Everything so cute and simple! I simply love her style. Her items are always very unique! I've known a lot of fellow kawaii kitschy sellers who take cute stuff and put them together, but wowwie, her stuff is amazing! It's so full of detail and life. I window shop a lot at her shop xD Blah, I can go on forever about her shop! Let's take a look at our interview with her ^__^!<br /><br />1. Introduce yourself:<br />hello :) my names is meghan rose perrings am currently 29 years of age and a proud army wife! i guess you can technically say that i am a little gothic lolita girl at heart in appearance and personal style - but i love creating and crafting all sorts of fun items for many lovely subcultures in fashion. i am still a little girl at heart and love the simpler things in life- small things make me happy :D<br /><br />2. What do you sell in your shop(s)?<br />in my shop on etsy i sell a variety of items (mainly jewelry- but i do throw in a few handbags, shoes, purses and home decor from every now and then) that reflects my small view and love for the fashion world! i love lots of style of fashion subclututres and admire all the different aspects of each. my shop mainly focuses on cute whimsical girly kawaii japanese inspired lolita items and well as vintage kitsch and pinup and retro horror and gothic steampunk from time to time. being a gemini i have ALOT of various interests that take me all over the map in my style and i love the eclectic nature of it all. you never know what you might find! or that i might create!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOIYTlRV4b2UiZqA1E6ONnu19Wis8zOoXd7YdbbJI8DUUmZgi3vw256eqwA8aM2CookKRc3a7VRYQv1OnpAdyyA20jWSENXukeLhuk8oBk5P0baKf2_TuyCapKAaasiFPPQdl_nA4TqE4/s1600/il_fullxfull.135209885.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOIYTlRV4b2UiZqA1E6ONnu19Wis8zOoXd7YdbbJI8DUUmZgi3vw256eqwA8aM2CookKRc3a7VRYQv1OnpAdyyA20jWSENXukeLhuk8oBk5P0baKf2_TuyCapKAaasiFPPQdl_nA4TqE4/s320/il_fullxfull.135209885.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459319047869507682" /></a><br /><br />3. Where do you get your ideas and inspirations from?<br />i try to get my ideas and inspiration from my life in itself. i am still a little kid at heart and love shopping and lifes simpler pleasures. i try to be fun and whimical when creating and enjoy the process as much as the finished items themselves. i focus alot on my childhood and all the happy memories it contains for me as i still try to see things thru the eyes of a child now and then. i try to create pieces that i would want to wear myself and that others hopefully will enjoy as well. i focus on the fun side of life and try my best in making interesting and different pieces.<br /><br />4. Besides crafting, what else do you enjoy doing?<br />i have so many varied interests! i love traveling and history as well as historic inspired costuming! i am a huge medieval nerd and spend weeks on end every summer at renassiance festivals all over dressing up and particapting in the festivies! i love the forest and reading. as well as shopping of course and flea markets! i also am very into vitnage old scholl horror films and classics. i love vitnage and retro items and the histry they can tell us. i have been a various archaeological digs that i enjoyed immensly. and last but not least spending time with my wonderful soldier husband!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToQCRyFYg0tn_5V6kWn2ItfO74k1DWjqGaDWmsfVUcsTsPyadzI21nApdrsopETCArjjMFXiomi__SOAK3UWB0GuoI-01C6pSgPPCNsFzE96XtHjoTUfvfiIteP6hFMwaA_-B-g5LpYo/s1600/il_fullxfull.133370611.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToQCRyFYg0tn_5V6kWn2ItfO74k1DWjqGaDWmsfVUcsTsPyadzI21nApdrsopETCArjjMFXiomi__SOAK3UWB0GuoI-01C6pSgPPCNsFzE96XtHjoTUfvfiIteP6hFMwaA_-B-g5LpYo/s320/il_fullxfull.133370611.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459318806256926274" /></a><br /><br />5. Is there any advice you can give to newbies who are selling handmade stuff online?<br />my best advise would be dont give up! if you have a passion for something and you love to do it- dont quit. selling esp when you first start out can be slow- but do all you can to get your name out there. as long as you love what you are doing you will always have a smile on your face!<br /><br />6. In your opinion, is it competitive selling kawaii kitschy accessories?<br />i am sure techincally it is considered competitive- but i really do not see it that way. i am so so honoured to be amoung such amazing and wonderful crafters on etsy! lots of these sellers totally blow my mind with what they can come up with! its insane! granted alot of the supplies can over lap but i think there is a respect amongust us all that we care cretive enough in our own right to make wonderfully amazing items differnetly out of the same stock.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2MnfxhzqIUeq-WP27SMdlOMxM6l-I66O7fu6R1yfADCMhrtK5Ju_tgP5Z-TevDPnwwPbeT3LbDn-a2VlY9gv4qQpP0OhOpiuIJ60ScYJl_Sfe4K634pkqMR7fT1A4m9d26n-4lhTP_Rc/s1600/il_fullxfull.125331492.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 261px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2MnfxhzqIUeq-WP27SMdlOMxM6l-I66O7fu6R1yfADCMhrtK5Ju_tgP5Z-TevDPnwwPbeT3LbDn-a2VlY9gv4qQpP0OhOpiuIJ60ScYJl_Sfe4K634pkqMR7fT1A4m9d26n-4lhTP_Rc/s320/il_fullxfull.125331492.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459318797658771906" /></a><br /><br />7.

Even though I don't keep the stuff, it still makes me pretty happy to get request from others to see what I can do with their idea. What makes me even more happier is that their face lights up when they received the finished creature or thing ^__^ I've never gotten a frowny face yet! Heehee. I must admit, I'm still an amateur polymer clay charm maker, it's not as cute or really nice looking as all the polymer clay charm makers out there that I love and follow, but that doesn't stop customers coming to me :] <br /><br />Imperfect Kawaii, is meant to be a secretive small shop, not to grow bigger. I have no intention in making the shop well known, maybe some day when I'm older (because nursing school is my first priority in a few years). Without having promoting the shop so much except in casual tweets, DA submissions, and a few chats, 242 items have been sold alone! My co-worker was impressed by the numbers since we don't promote our shop so much. We couldn't have done it or even keep going without our sweet customers! Thank you all very muchy ^_^ You are all a sugar cube to my cup of tea, making it extra sweet and delicious. In this matter, making this shop keep going ^.^ Hope you all stay tuned for more stuff!<br /><br />Alwayz,<br />Shorty HoshinoChibiusahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15697881347095564864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659997803795241208.post-7096026721976677812010-03-18T16:40:00.000-07:002010-03-18T16:49:44.902-07:00A gift from me to you!It's our main shop's birthday on March 25th, and we'd like to give our buyers a little something more than just a freebie!

It's so sparkly and glittery ^__^The Hello Kitty head is pretty big too! So get your ring today! They come in other colors too so you can get your most fave color, or collect them all to match with all your outfits ^___^ teehee.<br /><br />Other than that news, my friend told me I should join Live Journal again, but no worries, it'll be the same kinda info from Blogspot, so all you blogspotters won't miss a thing ^.^! I promise! Another news...it's almost going to be 1 year since I started Imperfect Kawaii! ^__^ hooray! I thank my friends for being so supported and telling me to keep making charms. I'm surprised I have stuck through this hobby all the way, but hey, I do love creating what I make and having people buy them or asking for customs, it makes me pretty happy too =] It keeps me going at this little hobby. As for the 1yr anny, I don't think I'll celebrate it TOO big...dunno yet what to do. I've been pretty busy with school, so I'm juggling it all out. I will do something, no worries! So stay tune ^___^<br /><br />ONE MORE THING, lol. I'm almost at 100 sales at Etsy! I'm still thinking about what to give to Mister or Miss 100th customer on there :] Visit my shop on Etsy!!! www.princesschibi.etsy.com<br /><br />Or, you can go to my official shop on MySpace.com/imperfect_kawaii, but there's no 100th thingy there :3 puwahaha. On MySpace I've sold over 200+ for local and just that shop.<br /><br />Hope you all are snuggly warm!

I ate some of the ones I thought looked retarded xD! I have an oven now...but no mixer T~T chu! Anywho, while boyfriend frosted the cuppy cakes, I made my Valentine cards for my friends ^___^ I bought a Hello Kitty pack xD! It's hard to pass up a $1 good quality Hello Kitty thingy! haha. Besides, last year, I made my friends paopus...so now this year, something edible ^__^ Here are some piccys!<br /><center><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/290vfdg.jpg"></center><br><br />They're yummy-er than it looks ^_^; If you remember my old first cake charms, it's based on my boyfriend's mom's cake she makes a lot :]<br /><center><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/vqguwo.jpg"><img src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/10/l_0169b6098a0a422282add9b53ec6acb3.jpg"></center><br><br />Annnnd here's their Valentine's :D<br /><center><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/16bcw77.jpg"></center><br />After all the baking and frosting and card making, we packed up the cupcakes and drove all around the area to deliver to my friends ^_^ All my single close friends get a cake to themselves, while couples have to share =P lol.<br />The day of Valentine's Day, my boyfriend and I decided to join his aunt's little party that she wanted to try. She wanted to do a backyard romantic dinner theme ^__^ So off we were to L.A.!<br /><center><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/a0yr7k.jpg"></center><br />Once we got to his aunt's house and through the gates and CC the Pomeranian (heehee, my puppy's aunt), this is what we had to stroll on to get to the main area:<br /><center><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/n2mxhc.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2qwfoeh.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/egwjz5.jpg"></center><br />I decided not to use flash for the camera because it kinda ruins the mood ^__^; but here's a snap shot with flash!<br /><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/2lsvgxy.jpg"><br />Kinda looks bleh, but it shows what they used :] The lights were pretty dim and full of candles and rose petals ^__^ Lookie the ceiling thingy:<br /><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/28wplc4.jpg"><br />pretty cool, huh? This was all in the backyard ^___^ Now the fooood!!!<br /><center><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/242x0k1.jpg"></center><br />The food was all home made and oh so delish!!! There was roasted chicken, roasted pork, scampi, bread, and this sweet and tangy salad (I didn't get salad). The food was so scrumptious and tender ^___^ Then the best part...DESSERT!!! oh yes oh yes oh yes! Here's pics of the table of desserts...in two shots!<br /><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/9ktkio.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2iks285.jpg"><br />So much!

My plan is, after I become LVN, work for 2 yrs, buy my mommy a nice house, go back to school for RN, and finally be done with school, I want to buy a nice simple cozy house for me and hopefully hubby xD We plan after I finish buying my mom a house, that me and him shall save up together for a place of our own, and puppy ^___^!<br /><br />Okie! Enuff of the seriousness! Heehee, now onto the dreeeeam house! We were discussing more of the interior while we were eating at the Old Spaghetti Factory (check out on image google! You'll be amazed of their interior!). Also, that time (which is this month), I was packing some things up in the house because my fam and I are moving, my room mate grandma gave me a reaaally vintage phone! We were having a yard sale, but oh my goodness, I could not resist!<br /><center><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9SIDd8rCxb7kd5H7s17q39ifV7m0GrvtmyYPXjQ24rgj2g5U0MMyz-FDKifRFWlhLW5g6DEufE1WfPd9JWzOFK1a8sL2VsLOl3Z6ncWRBoyamcOcFnkwKnyXotuS87d7KlnYs0B_loE/s320/yellow+phone.jpg"></center><br />It looks exactly like the picture above! Weird I found this on google image on the 1st page! Same design, except the dial thingy is the classic circular dial ^___^ OF COURSE I KEPT IT! It's so cool! Luckily my boyfriend was fine with this ^.^! So we've decided that we'll have a Rococo style for our house's walls and furniture ^___^<br /><img src="http://besthomenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Gorgeous-Rococo-Furniture-in-French-Style-2.jpg" height="400" width="600"><br><br /><center><img src="http://fabulousfinishes.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/dancingmaidens-rococo-style-embossed-design-on-cabs-neffkitchens-dot-com.jpg"></center><br />But there's a twist of course ;] Most of our appliances are going to be Hello Kitty :D!!! My boyfriend sighed and says he'll be in Hello Kitty Hell big time xD! We're also going to have our Tokidoki vinyls and various Kidrobot vinyls too ^___^! We hope to have 4 bedrooms so one will be ours, two for kids, and one for half his studio (he wants to be a storyboard artist and needs that kinda desk) and half for my crap ^_^<br /><center><img src="http://assets.gearlive.com/blogimages/hellokittyappliances.jpg"></center><br />As for myself, I want to work as a RN 3-4 days a week (that's how the schedule goes), be a great smexy wifey, a fab mommy, and still continue Imperfect Kawaii (maybe not as much, but will explode every season or so, haha...probably what I'm doing now). Also, I'll be preparing my hubby's lunch in a big Hello Kitty bento head xD! He's like," she's gonna be everywhere! On my food too!"

For my birthday this year, the theme was a Victorian Tea Party (told ya themes were awesome!). I dressed up in a soft dusty pink color dress which has a princess style. I also used accessories like my tiny tiara and heels from Bodyline, my LOVE teddybear ring from my own shop, and my crown pendant from Destination Design (my big sister, pearls are from Clair's). I managed to slightly curl my hair ^__^ teehee.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlRnok8tCARH_CpN9t9NKuKKANJLcNkHO9xKYS9msS_pNuYA1w6O2x4pOZUGBmjJ6ttbOw7jpgwFv3-4ySWqibMRySkjtqpZyLz8WEKeZcw_1MZ9Z8EHyoeVBVQarcrFrx3z-AJO4ceA8/s1600-h/20557_258474969226_689229226_3416634_6562783_n.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlRnok8tCARH_CpN9t9NKuKKANJLcNkHO9xKYS9msS_pNuYA1w6O2x4pOZUGBmjJ6ttbOw7jpgwFv3-4ySWqibMRySkjtqpZyLz8WEKeZcw_1MZ9Z8EHyoeVBVQarcrFrx3z-AJO4ceA8/s200/20557_258474969226_689229226_3416634_6562783_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428987771205303138" /></a> I had lack of sleep T_T There were contests to prepare for, a cook off and a dessert off! It was held at one of my friend's house instead of the park ^_^ so nice of him! My boyfriend and I helped him and his girlfriend and her brother set up =] The set up was perfect, it was like a dream come true!

We had a variety of dishes for the cook off! We had my chicken alfredo, bread sticks, 3 different tea sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches Persian style,and Papa Rellena (a Peruvian potato dish). Everything was soooo scrumptious! There was also so many tea flavors to go with it such as: mango peach, mix berry, green tea, jasmine, black tea, tea from the UK itself (friend went there for a semester), almond tea, and vanilla honey.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHJHcgFsZlBusGnLQkyXvWQXCZaWtCrWTt3sZiUttCDeg-7CDq3SJJrHYT4dxJlzM18gFB_N1cr_KBR7nmJTMk863LcIgCPrEz5smXN_dOI54qBnuFJTTkGrUofWsCePNwo74zd3uyYps/s1600-h/20557_258475074226_689229226_3416646_18972_n.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHJHcgFsZlBusGnLQkyXvWQXCZaWtCrWTt3sZiUttCDeg-7CDq3SJJrHYT4dxJlzM18gFB_N1cr_KBR7nmJTMk863LcIgCPrEz5smXN_dOI54qBnuFJTTkGrUofWsCePNwo74zd3uyYps/s200/20557_258475074226_689229226_3416646_18972_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428988656797341058" /></a> My favorite was the black tea mixed with milk, and the mix berry was very divine. Oh my goodness! In one day I had about 40-50ish lumps of sugar cubes in my tea!!! Why? I forgot to stir with a spoon and was just swishing my tea bag around to stir. It was my first tea time besides green tea (I don't put sugar in green tea) ^__^;<br /><br />As if that was enough sugar I had, there was the Dessert Off! We had chocolate dipped madelines (and strawberries, she was kinda bribing me xD), candied yams, apple pie, coffee mousse cake,chocolate cookie mix on the table! and then my birthday cake.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrq9qbMW17cb9RH36Kn6zTcZCgfWi87pNV_hS4V1y0SG0vRp4o2AWyRoZXJhkSVU6gqXD2hTkO6APceH4jk7rBwNLWQJ1iPdMvr2eYSiBI58zp75pOJ_LVsY_lQAL5lsYPzRdU3ENEBBA/s1600-h/20557_258475109226_689229226_3416653_6981602_n.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrq9qbMW17cb9RH36Kn6zTcZCgfWi87pNV_hS4V1y0SG0vRp4o2AWyRoZXJhkSVU6gqXD2hTkO6APceH4jk7rBwNLWQJ1iPdMvr2eYSiBI58zp75pOJ_LVsY_lQAL5lsYPzRdU3ENEBBA/s200/20557_258475109226_689229226_3416653_6981602_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428988875205079842" /></a> Oh, everyone was so full from the cook off entrees! I like how our tea party was like an actual tea party! We sat, drink, nibble, and talk ^_^ Everyone seemed like they were enjoying, and I can't believe it turned out like I dreamed, the banquet setting that is, food, and the bestest friends xD There was about 12 of us. When it came to voting, we have set up a voting place near the kitchen on a table. People would vote anonymously or put their initials. They voted for one favorite cook off entry and one dessert off. What won was Papa Rellena, so he got a gift card to BJ's Restaurant, and for dessert off, it was the coffee mousse thingy who's reward was a gift coupons to Baskin Robbins ^__^ good cause she does like sweets too!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9cRamAFq1sJg4I5Dm54y-G6bHWK2ZQACvkKdn4E_HqFNmjEvr75kJbgyupo_IWJXySjruHSH4KHJW8XZhrRAICmQaHh9iOvo_UKwpfijAblLeziyYWfS2wjAN6ifimkJJAEHYakKjF1s/s1600-h/20557_258475134226_689229226_3416656_7229610_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9cRamAFq1sJg4I5Dm54y-G6bHWK2ZQACvkKdn4E_HqFNmjEvr75kJbgyupo_IWJXySjruHSH4KHJW8XZhrRAICmQaHh9iOvo_UKwpfijAblLeziyYWfS2wjAN6ifimkJJAEHYakKjF1s/s320/20557_258475134226_689229226_3416656_7229610_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428992918587476930" /></a><br />Our photographer had to leave early, so we took a group picture in front of the house ^__^ lookie how everyone is dressed! So awesome! They've all really captured the Victorian look in my opinion! After that we went back inside and eat more food and drank tea xD! We opened gifts and they read me their poems they made for me ^__^ And then played the game Loaded Questions. I had a good time. It felt like a very relaxing time, just being with my bestest buddies, eating, and sippin tea. Everyone said it was a wonderful tea party they've ever been ^____^!
