Adelaide fans of Japanese goth/loli clothing, be prepared! Tokyo Hardcore is about to hit town, Well, theyll hit town in August, but WHO CARES THAT'S SOON
If you're super sick of having to buy all your awesomesauce body coverings online and waiting for shipping, my friend Saccharine (also referred to as Suz on here!) and her fiance Neko are opening Adelaide's very first store of it's kind, woo hoo! It will stock current season items imported directly from top Japanese brands thus compiling everything in one place for your shopping convenience and inspiration. I will shop all day.

Like this. Although not while rapping. And I'll be asian.

Suz and Neko are flying out THIS WEEKEND to gather inspiration and meet with brand representatives so get ready! in the meantime, like their page here to get fresh info and show your support :D

a question about blogs, ads and credibility

Hello!
You can probably tell from the title that this post is about... well, what it says in the title. I have been tossing and turning around the idea of signing up with blog advertising company Nuffnang. Personally, advertisements aren't a bother if they are:

1. Clearly a sponsored advertisement
2. Unique and not stiffly scripted
3. Honest and relevant to the blogger/author's interests
4. Only posted if the blogger/author truly believes in the product

But that's just on other blogs. I have no problems reading Xiaxue's blog because her ads are ADORABLE and always have a disclaimer on the top. But what about mine? What about my readership? It all would probably encourange me to blog more often, but how about my credibility?

That's where you come in. Leave your comments on this below. Yes or no to ads? I'm unsure and still swaying. Would you read my blog? Do you read other blogs with ads? Please let me know, or take the poll on the right for anon! xoxoxo

fotd: pink wig, thick ass, give em whiplash

Woah, it's been a while since I've written a post! Sarah from Benefit has just gone on holiday leaving me to cover all her shifts if that explains my absence a little better and since today is a public holiday, I actually have time to do a little bit of a write up!

My latest FOTD comes from an 18th that I went to- the ULTIMATE DRESS UP PARTY. Come as anything you want! Nicki Minaj seemed to be the easy choice and something I hadn't done before and the makeup was simple enough to slap together post-work, et voila. Also, it's a lot more practical than the gigantic Elmo head...

 The girl in that suit is the same girl who cut the toes off her socks to paint her toenails while her feet were cold. 

Needless to say, it didn't work out.

Makeup inspired by the teal liner/gold glitter look in Moment 4 Life, but I didn't get a chance to take close up photos. I liked the look though and will probably do it again as a tutorial, with a few adjustments.

Kiss kiss! Side note, Cha Cha Tint by Benefit launches on Saturday the 18th of June! Join Trisha and I on counter, also PrincessNeena and CommanderInChic will be there (yay!). I met those lovely ladies first, and many others, during the first #ABBM. You can find a list of other Adelaidian beauty bloggers here at the ringleader's site- thanks Celeste for putting it all together! xo
