Adélaide does some modelling?!

Hello readers. (・ω・)ノ

I'd like to talk to you about something exciting that has happened.

Recently, I was asked to model for the local 'camera club'. A dear friend and neighbour who is a member of the club saw some of my photos and wondered if I would be interested in taking part. Of course I agreed. 

I prepared two lolita outfits to showcase. I think they both show my style preferences very well. I also styled my hair and did my own make-up in preparation. The whole shoot lasted about two hours. It was quite tiring work, but a lot of fun.

 As I would sometimes have about seven people photographing me at one time, it was difficult to know where to look and when to change position, but I think I managed. Sometimes, I would just have the one photographer working with me, telling me to hold a certain look or pose. 

I have recieved some photos, which I will show now.

I am so happy with how well it went. The photographers all seemed very pleased with me. I learned a lot from the experience and would love to do something like that again soon. Actually, I talked about possible career goals, but... we'll see. (^_−)−☆

Thank you for reading. <3

Far away October ~ She dreams in her enchanted world of the Princess.

That title seems like something from Baby the Stars Shine Bright, doesn't it? Well~

Despite having visited Chichester Cathedral only a couple of months ago,  I could not resist seeing it again. Such a beautiful and glorious place. So awesome and gorgeous. <3

We had intended to take some photos here, but we ran into some complications. (｡-_-｡) First of all, my sister's camera stopped working - the pictures came out blurry - and Ceci could my find anyway to fix it. So after a frustrating time, I thought "Oh, just forget it!" And we went to have some lunch.

After a relaxing lunch, having calmed down, we decided to take some shots with my iPhone. It is not the best camera, but it is better than nothing and I just wanted SOMETHING for all that effort. We found a little place that was just outside the Cathedral, and the result is what you see here:

After, we decided to have a walk in the gardens. And then, by a miracle, Ceci's camera started working! Well actually, she inserted the correct camera card, having the wrong one in earlier. But anyway, having the camera finally sorted, meant we could take some more photos. It was well in to the afternoon by the time we got to taking these, so I'm sorry they are not the best. 

I really love wearing Hime Lolita, even though this is quite a simple coordinate. My hair was curly, but I think stress got to me. D: The one-piece dress is in a gorgeous tone of my favourite red colour, but because of its styling I can not wear it often. In photos and from a distance, the tights look plain, but they actually feature an embossed pattern. I chose my jewellery in my favourite motifs of crosses and roses. The shoes are not strictly lolita, but I think for this kind of look, they match quite well.

Thank you for reading; hope you liked it. ^^

The Lady wears a corset.

I like the free, fresh, wind in my hair...Life without care...

Sorry, I have Gaga on the brain.

Anyway, as you will know, I often wear lolita fashion, but sometimes, I like to try something a bit different. This look is all very impromptu, but I hope you like it.

I pinned my fringe out of the way for this look, but I'd never grow it out. At least for now.

Thank you for reading. ( ^ω^ )

Cheek to Cheek <3

Last week, I received my copy of Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's new album: 'Cheek to Cheek' (Deluxe Edition) in the mail.

It is Gaga's first Jazz album, and how wonderful it is! I have kept myself blissfully ignorant to the world of jazz and I do not pretend otherwise. So I bought the album with an air of indifference. Of course, I had some excitement, otherwise I may as well not have bought it all! It is Gaga after all, and the Lady makes you believe in her, believe in something she is so obviously passionate about. I had listened to the tracks shown on youtube and I at least liked them. At least. So there was that: I would at least 'like' the album.

I was not disappointed. There is such a warmth in the music, that it is a joy to listen to. Tony and Lady's voices melt together, creating this golden sound that is at once rich and free. It is the kind of music that makes me want to put on pearls and dream the world away, just because. Gaga does not have to tell you she loves it. You can feel it.

Thank you for reading. ^^
