Fuji TV Meets NYC

Today was a big day for me - meeting some of the wonderful New York City lolitas, some for the first time! The nature of our meet? Fuji TV, a Japanese television network, had discovered our presence and wanted to see some American frill in action! We spent a lovely day at Bryant Park, eating crepes and (in my case) attempting to ice skate.

If you're looking for something to do in the city, that is the place to go. Now that Christmas season has started, they've erected a miniature town of greenhouses full of cute things. My favorite shops are Stone Flower, very sweet and bordering on himegyaru; and Miss Hoe's, which has more classic and punky items like unicorn rocking horse necklaces and lacy mori-girl dresses. You can also ice-skate at the Pond. Bring your own skates and a combination lock (to use a locker) and your visit can be free! You can also rent skates and duffel bags for keeping your things, if you like.

It was amazing for me, being from Small-Town, CT, to see so many people interested in the fashion - my favorite being flamboyant older ladies and adorable little girls who say they want to play dress-up too :) We were also attacked by a gang of photography students from FIT - the professor's running commentary was hilarious: 'See, see, this like Bambi outfit, very 1990s, Hello Kitty, pink hair, note the feet, very important part of her character, accessories, look at the bow in her hair!' Plus a plethora of small dogs, typically in jackets! And I got to meet all of these lovely ladies, who were some of the sweetest girls I have had the pleasure of poofin' out with.

My outfit theme ended up being bunnies to match the Cherry Berry bunnies in the dress - with my SWIMMER bunny scarf, BABY bunny hoodie, My Melody Pochette, and giant bunny-ear buns. Here's a shot of my hair & makeup:

Here's the full outfit, taken inside Miss Hoe's shop :)

When the television segment airs, I'll make sure it gets it own spotlight on Lolita Charm!

But LOL at the FIT prof geeking out about your outfits. Haha, I'm still waiting to see if FIT accepted me for their Spring Semester! xD
