Bitthday Weekend!

Hey everyone~!

This weekend just gone was my birthday, so I made sure to party hard and have as much fun as possible while I am in Japan.

On the saturday (my actual birthday), My roommate Ksara and I went out for the evening, starting with winning a few Alpacas and then going for dinner at Christon Cafe in Shinjuku.

It's so beautiful in there, I have only ever been to the Shibuya one before, but the atmosphere here is so much better.

 I ordered a cocktail called "Rose Addict" which was delicious, but it arrived GLOWING. How cool is that? Also it had real miniture roses as a garnish on top with scattered petals.

lol everything glows when you drink from it. XD

 We ordered this Rice Cake + Mentaiko pizza which was yummy, as well as some sausages. We weren't that hungry~

Then we wandered off down Sakura-dori to find "Bunny" - a host club that we saw being opened last week, the owner Hiiragi Nagisa is very famous - he models for Men's Spider as well as owning 3 host clubs (and he's the same age as me....so jealous)

^ This is Nagisa

Below are two of the hosts' cards they gave us. The white one is from Ksara's favourite that night, Kou.



We spent a good 2 hours in there and by that time it was nearly time for the last train to get home. But I wasn't tired so I went clubbing in Atom by myself XD
It's really shit that you can't take photos there but it was all good, stayed out until the first train home - yaaay.

On Sunday night I met up with one of my friends Kiyoto for some drinks, but when it was getting to last order, he surprised me with the staff coming out with birthday cake and some flowers!! I was super-shocked as I haven't known him for that long it was so nice!

it had a sparkler in it lol

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!

After that we went to an arcade and then I came home again. I am so tired now but I really enjoyed the weekend thoroughly. (^O^)

On a side note, Ksara went to FamilyMart and bought me some Hatsune Miku "negi-pan". So tasty but it looks super-phallic... (^-^;;)

Ciao for now xoxo

In other news, for all my readers who like musicals etc, 

I bought tickets today to see a very special version of "Elisabeth" at the Umeda theatre (Osaka),

I am in the 5th row!!!! 0____0 so obviously I am really pleased.

This version is special because it has the beautiful Hungarian actor Mate Kamaras as Der Tod (he has been Der Tod in Germany and Hungary) and also one of my favourite retired Takarazuka Top Stars, Sena Jun as Elisabeth!! (she played Elisabeth in 2005 in Takarazuka - my favourite production version of theirs.)

I can finally release that I won the 'Best Overall Makeup' category!!

I am so over the moon~ 

Thank you also to you new subscribers that searched for my blog after the video! Sorry my handwriting is bad \(; ^ ; \)

As the counter at the top of my blog announces - I have 21 days left until I am in Japan! 

I am really excited for it! Also so I can make my blog that little bit more interesting by writing entries from there instead of in England. 

Some of you may have noticed that now we are in June, my blog anniversary is coming up??

Don't worry, I am planning a giveaway, it will be a little belated from the actual anniversary which is on June 8th, as I want to get some really lovely items to show my gratitude for everyone's support!!

(so this might be the end of June/ beginning of July!)

Ciao! xoxo

THE NEWS: I'M STAYING IN JAPAN!

I GOT MY VISA!!!!!!

So this is my good news!!! I went to London yesterday to visit the Japanese Embassy to collect my passport, which as I am glad now, actually had the Visa inside! 

This is what they look like:

pretty cute eh?? I love the pink and red colours with the Sakura! 

My wonderful friend Simone came with me to calm my nerves, and afterward we went to Carnaby street to look in various shops. 

We went to Irregular Choice (such a cool shoe shop!) and I found this handsome fellow

Isn't he cute?? 

We took some pictures with him actually on my phone.

As you can see though, he unfortunately covers the bottom of my lens... 

I CAN FORGIVE HIM.

Anyone wanna give him a name btw?? XD

Then we met up with Dodo and Sam, wandering around the V&A and Natural History Museum. 

No pictures were taken until we all went to....

WEATHERSPOONS. YAY.

(these were actually our 2nd round of pitchers but we liked the colours...)

Then it was home time. But I am so over the moon about everything, and I will be finally following my dream, trying to make my career out in Japan. \(; ^ ;)/

Gyaru Valentines!

I just had a look today that I received two 'Valentines' on the Livejournal Community "Gyaru_Valentines". 

I am really touched!! Thank you to both of you who wrote them~ <3

These are the two which I have been given over the last few weeks!

My answer: LOL NO >8D jk.

But thanks so much! 

annd the more recent one:

I am honestly moved by it! If you're out there reading this blog, please talk to me - I'm not mean or stuck-up or anything, it's always still quite a shock that people regard me this way, but I also love making friends! ^____^ 

On another note, unfortunately I don't have a picture yet buuutttt~

MY PICTURE WAS POSTED IN SOUL SISTER VOL.5!!! 

yaaaaaay 

I am super pleased about it and I can't wait to get an issue of it for safe-keeping. 

I know it's only one of those email-&-post pictures at the back but it's so nice to know! 

It's so sunny and warm outside so i'm walking to town!

See ya'll!

New Year Gyaru Anket~! (Questionnaire/Survery!)

Why hello everyone! 

I have a little treat for everyone that likes surveys, which I have been creating at work etc 

so my readers can take part. 

I am looking for Girls and Guys that dress Gyaru to answer as all of the questions relate to a "Gyaru Lifestyle" in general (The sections are Beauty, Fashion, Style, Looks and Health).

This will be up for ONE WEEK

Please take part as it would mean a lot to me! <3 (and I am doing a neat chart afterwards to summarise it)

It would also be very interesting to see on average what Gaijin Gyaru are drawn towards more.

Here is the normal link:
**QUESTIONNAIRE EXPIRED**

And the Widget if you'd like to do it here. I will be leaving this on my sidebar too.

**QUESTIONNAIRE EXPIRED**

**EDIT: As lots of people have taken the survey already I cannot edit the text inside but for the
question "which magazines do you read?" The 'Niche' mags also include Soul Sister, Soul Japan & I <3 Mama.**

Enjoy! On sunday will be the Izumi Mana makeup tutorial~! xoxo

My Adventure into Erotica~!

Evening my lovely followers

To let people know, if they are uncomfortable with nudity (again)

this will be a partially NSFW post!

Erotica has been going for many years and I've always wanted

to attend it - unfortunately I was either too young or I forgot to go...

So I suggested going finally with Alex and we decided to attend the Saturday

as it was the busiest day. 

A view of nearly the whole event from upstairs

We were there from 2:30pm until 9pm so we made a nice day out of it!

^ BUM :3 :3 

She was one of the actresses of "Television X". 

(My mouth was like so close to her tits omg)

The main stage downstairs which showed some sexy dancing 

in all types of paired people. 

Some of the fashion stalls at Erotica. I really like clubbing wear even though I don't 

usually buy it!

Some pretty Show-girl type ladies.

Lol faaaaannnseerrvviiceeee. Girls @ Television X again.

Right, now my purchases

I got the complete Mini set of ID Juicy-lubes as I couldn't decide what 

new flavour to get XD 

For recommendations - I love the Watermelon and Peach flavours!

And the Cherry one tastes like yoghurt.... :S 

I also got this cute little leotard thing with fishnet stars cut-out 

of it! I really want to wear it with a pair of shorts over the top

and then with stockings attached <3

Alex kindly took me for dinner at Zizzi's afterwards and we ordered some 

really nice dishes. 

Alex ordered the "Mezzo e Mezzo" pizza which was like TWICE THE SIZE

of him. But somehow he managed to clean the plate..... O_O;

I ordered the "linguini ai Gameri" pasta which was delicious! I love prawns.

We parted ways for the evening after that but when I got home...

My dress I ordered well over a MONTH ago arrived!! YAAY

I think it's really nice.

Anyway, I am so tired so I am off to bed now everyone. Hope you 

enjoyed this post and I will see you all soon! <3

A Thank you to you ALL!

Seriously, thanks to everyone that is a follower/reader of this humble blog -
I honestly never thought it would get to this many people so far!
Remember you are NEVER a number, and I love talking to everyone.
Thank you to everyone who reads/subscribes/comments on here <3

AV Gyaru magazines

So this post I am making, just for anyone out of interest. 

I help my boyfriend with his Japanese Porn Company 

(they sell Hentai Doujinshi, Male sex toys, Artbooks, Badges, and now AV magazines)

and this was the main reason I went back to Tokyo this summer. 

I know quite a few western Gals admire or just like looking at these

Kuro-gyaru AV girls (Including myself) and I wanted to show you 

some of the magazines they show up in! 

I bought these two just from regular Combini stores. 

(Newdays & Lawson)

Tokyo Gals Collection

Is a small-sized but absolutely packed magazine! It contains a lot of the 

KIRA☆KIRA actresses and has quite a bit of promotion for them too.

What I found completely awesome was that you get TWO DVDS! 

On which, some scenes were in full - so it's definitely worth the £4.20

I paid for it.

The photography is really clear, and the censoring isn't that bad. 

It's all in white, but it's "clean-cut". 

Kokoa here in that bloody nice bra! I want one XD

A cool Article/interview with guys, on Types of Sexy Gyaru! haha!

it reads (L-R): Ageha-kei, Gal mama, Shiro-gal, Kuro-gal, Gal-kei

...GYARU MAMA?! Watch out gyaru-mama's - They want to recruit you ;D 

I absolutely prefer this magazine. The layout and Gals featured are really cool

and they even have a halarious - Readers' Corner... that's right -

Every month, a couple can write in, and then you get to star in the magazine

doing dirty things with your lover. HAHA. it's brilliant. 

Kyaba Gyaru!

This magazine is a little bigger than T.G.C and a lot more expensive.

(£6.20) - I think mainly this is to do with the glossy pages and larger format.

However I didn't feel the content was as good. :( 

Cocona (Now, Serina) was featured on the front! yay, this is why I got it, lol.

Her face isn't that sexy here, haha, but I needed to make the picture SFW XD

Reo in her awesome D.I.A outfit! 

But as you can see in the top-left, the censoring looks like someone attacked the

pictures in MS Paint... the shapes are pretty amusing though. 

A normally-Kyaba-gyaru Actress gets picked for a

"Bukkake Festival" - oh, how lucky!

The most disappointing of this magazine, is that it only came with ONE DVD

compared to T.G.C (mostly highlights, too D: ), and there also was a huge Black&White section

in the middle. The phototography was pretty high-contrast as well.

But it was the same thickness as T.G.C so I guess that extra

odd 200yen is the amount of extra paper. 

These were both the August 2011 editions. If anyone wants me to scan them

or upload the DVDs just say so in the comments and I will try my best.

Hope you enjoyed this random little insight!

BLOG AWARD?! + NEW BARBIE NAIL SET!

Ok, so before my usual dribble of saying what i've been up to, 

I casually logged on today that i had 3 more followers 

(which is pretty damn cool) - and that I'd been given

A BLOG AWARD. 

I freaking wasn't expecting that after like 3 weeks of being here. haha!

The ever-so lovely Golly-Locks handed to me, which I thank her

so so much for! So now, I shall pass it on to a few other blogs I love reading! 

So here are the 7 random facts about myself!

1. A lot of people think I am new to Gyaru, but I was Gyaru back in 2005-2007 

(if you find pictures, its hilarious and my style is completely different now)

2. I've had a long-running obsession with the Singer/Musician KAMIJO 

since I was 7 years old!

3. I bum Disney like there's no tomorrow.

4. I was a UK size 16-18 until I was 14.... ;__;

5. I play Ero-ge/Gal-ge regularly.

6. I am an Operatically-trained vocalist on Grade 5

7. Apparently, when you get to know me, I am weirdly old-fashioned.

and I give this "One Lovely Blog" Award to:

used to them already, which is really neat. 

My friend Asaka did them for me, at Chou Chou Nail Salon

I will review them tomorrow on the UK Gyaru Guide!

Also, yesterday, I met up with my lovely friend Ben,

and we went to the beach to have a mosey along and check out

 this fun-fair thing they were having. 

I bought an Oyster and some baby octopus <3

Super-delicious, I always look forward to them in summer!

See you later!
