Our Lolita Album!

Thank you! And I ... am so glad to have finally gotten it. I can't even count the number of auctions that I either lost or went out of my price range before I found this one through the comm sales. J!YA and mbok are each a treacherous place, and I've been avoiding them lately in favor of TaoBao and EGL. XD;;

How is Tao Bao? I have seen a lot of their things like the Carousel Replica Dress that I love but have never really ordered from them

TaoBao doesn't just sell shoes? I'm not setting out here to look stupid, but I thought they stopped dealing at the feet. I'm tempted to see what the big deal about J!YA is one of these days, spuntino, but I just keep getting sucked into EGL Community Sales. Funny though - I don't have a Live Journal account. XD

TaoBao's pretty good. Waaaay better than the Chinese/Hong Kong sellers on eBay, though Fei and I are still trying to sort out why. Their manufacturing is much, much better and their dresses actually look lolita instead of like cosplay.

Crystal Orchid: TaoBao does everything. They're like eBay, in a way, for China. Check the FAQ and Link list for some shops. I need to update with the new ones I've found lately, but there's a good number already up.

-went to look up FAQ- Oh... I get it now! I tried navigating that site once; I think I'll stick to the EGL_comm_sales.

Say Cryin, do you have a website for your label, Il Sangue, set up? I remember you mentioned it a while ago.

I do! I'm still updating stock, but there's a skirt and a number of accessories under the sale sections, and plenty of images for "previous works"

Almost immediately after I posted this question, I ran into it on EGL_comm_sales. Some of those works looks rather familiar... c: Good luck with your business!

I dressed up and went to the Galleria today with two friends from Houston! We had a lot of fun and were told by the Betsey Johnson staff that we looked "SO Betsey!" when we went in. Gotta love girls who appreciate a bit of petticoat, eh? You can find my daily lolita post here: Arrrruffles! I really need a wig so I can wear my head-eaters more often. I love my new do, but it means I can't always go over the top with the hair wear, y'know? I would've liked to have worn my matching navy headbow with this. Boo. ):

*girly squeels* Ahhh! It's the return of That One Skirt! Love love love it. I didn't know who Betsey Johnson was until you mentioned her (your mention forced me to finally look her up). And now I know.

Actually, a question that's been bothering me since I first saw your LJ avatar -- I feel like I should know who that is. What's your avatar of? It reminds me strongly of something Arina Tanemura would draw.
