Ballet Fairytales in Central Park!

Last Sunday, the lovely lavender Crystal of Pretty Wonderland hosted the fourth annual storybook photoshoot meetup in New York City's own Central Park. This year's theme was ballet stories like Sleeping Beauty, Midsummer Night's Dream, The Nutcracker, and my favorite - Coppelia.

I read Coppelia growing up - it's one of my favorite Russian fairytales, even if it's a little bittersweet. So that's the character I chose to portray at the shoot. To sum, Coppelia is a lifelike doll who comes to life and dances - or so it seems! (Read the full story of Coppelia here!) Because of her marionette flavor, I chose to wear my Starry Night Theatre.

Skirt: Angelic Pretty

Blouse: Angelic Pretty

Bodice: Baby the Stars Shine Bright

Socks: Angelic Pretty

Bonnet: Alice & The Pirates

Shoes: Montreal

This photo also shows my hair after having pincurled it! I'll be doing a tutorial soon on how to wake up with no-heat curls every morning - a real life-saver for time crunches or daily-curled hair.

For fun I made a 'music box' themed photomanipulation ♥ The background is an older creation by Angelic Pretty (I think?) that I had floating around on my hard drive, so it seemd to be just the right thing to use. My favorite part is the music notes in their signature style :)

It was so great meeting everyone who came and dressing all up to theme! I can't wait to meet up with the great lolitas of New York City again! And of course, thank you Crystal for organizing a beautiful lolita meetup :)

It was wonderful to meet you, too! (^_^)/
