It's goona get busy 4th of July

In the up coming weeks it gonna get really busy during the 4th July week. But first I would like say that there K pop concert this coming weekend June 22, @ 8pm your favorite Korean actor/singer Jang Keun Suk and Team H Party will be preforming @ LA Sports Arena brought to you by Power House.

Anyways, next weekend is The 4th Annual L.A. Street Food Festival. Full of amazing food and fun. This event has been ingrained in me since the begin of year. It's bit price for some plus I've been reading about horror stores from last years event. So, here are my suggestion if you plan on attending event.: Buy your ticket (VIP preferred-$75 plus, early access) online or at the door before 1:30 pm or before 3 pm (regular tickets $50) and bring money.


 During Anime Expo Weekend  a couple of blocks down at the Regal in the LA Live there will be L.A. Live Broadcast viewing J-Pop Concert  Event of Perfume WORLD TOUR 2nd in UK
 
Sunday, July 7th at 1:00pm
Tickets are $25.00 and are available at: perfumeliveviewinginla.com.
Regal Cinema L.A. LIVE is located at 1000 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90015.

But that is not all during that whole weekend they will be playing J Pop Live Viewing concerts throughout weekend but I wish they had a deal so watch all the viewings instead of paying individually.


[Updated]

Ticket Prices for each screening is $20-25
So if planing on going to all of them here is Total cost: 
$195+(tax $1.33)=$197


Also, Anime Expo will live be hosting concert at the LA Live for groups:

Visual Kei Concert:Kaya x Moon Stream X CELL Concert
Friday, July 5th, 2013 7pm - 10pm 

Porno Graffitti Concert
Saturday, July 6th, 2013 6pm - 7:30pm

There even having a...
[18+] Myth: Legends of Burlesque & Magic
Saturday, July 6th, 2013 9pm - 12am

But I can't wait to see schedule for this year. every time I go to Cons that one thing I miss out on looking at. I usually just go for fun. But this year I'm really excited about them bring Gal fashion to con and how much Japan has influence many of us including me to pursue this lifestyle. Every year I see h.Naoto come bring it designs for Gothic/Visual Kei crowd as much as would like buy some of latest design it pretty heavy for my budget plus building my computer, car, and financial issue keep burning whole in my pocket especially this year which I've trying to keep up with them since horoscope was actually worried about that being a huge issue this year. Even with more money there are always more problems so, I suggest in those few in my boat invest wisely and invest in yourself (I don't just mean money, excel in whatever your doing and it will pay off).

And there is more stuff I forgot to add...

My harem list is too strong

I got a question about "What are my most recommended/favorited harem Anime." So I began to typing and realize after a couple hours I said, "To myself make a post about it because this list is pretty long and some of them are recommendation from my ex-boyfriend(*)." But if your really interested in making your own harems there are gaming harems I suggestion you look up otome dating sims games ...in American closet I've ever played was Sims 2 but they are available to play online and dozen of English and Japanese ones you can play. So lets begin with beloved ones that most anime fans have watched and guess what their Moe and spoilers: you will cry by end of each of them.

 *Kanon

 *Clannad


Shuffle,


H2O: Footprints in the sand


but other hugely popular harems are *Evangelion (some will say that Eva is far from a harem but seriously there's Asuka, the tsundere, who finally gave up him (some say she turned into a b***h), Rei, the reincarnation of his mom, Misato, who lusted after him but has now  given up on him as well, Mei, the eccentric who thinks he spells good(LCL)), Love Hina, Rosario vampire, Negima, High School of the Dead, and*Toradora. But I'm gonna list the other you might not have payed attention to:

*Bakemonogatari


*Familiar of Zero,

My-Hime,

Maburaho,

*Oreimo


...Ah, My Goddess, *High School DxD, DearS, Kampfer, *Kankon, Girls Bravo, Tenchi Muyo, *To Love Ru, To heart, Ugly but beautiful world, KissxSis and Vandread.


Also like Fruit basket, *Ouran HS Host Club, La Coda d'oro opposite gender harems.


 Hope this helps

Shop Gal-lore

Updated: 8/10/20


The style of subcultures found in districts like Harajuku, Ginza, and Shibuya are unmatched from the rest of world. There are a variety of styles underneath the this Rising Sun. Since many of these style tribes can easily crossover and change season to season, each group is separated into certain kei (style) sub-genres, and there are tons of magazines that target each demographic.

Gyaru-kei:

(Goshikku(Gothic), Saike(Psyche), Bohemian(Hippie), Baika /Bozosoku/Rokku(Rock/Metal), and Haady...)

Gyaru fashion is typically characterized by having heavily bleached or dyed hair (mostly shades from dark brown to blonde), highly decorated nails, and dramatic makeup.
The makeup typically consists of dark eyeliner and fake eyelashes used in ways intended to make the eyes appear larger. Clothing pieces for gyaru fashion differ depending on which gyaru style the individual chooses.

Onee Gyaru & Mama

  Oneegyaru (お姉ギャル): a gyaru who has graduated from high school, and thus become a more mature onee-san (literally "elder sister" but, here, "young lady"). The style is more sophisticated.

Kawaii Styles

(Fairy; Decora Kei; Aomoji)

The Decora style originated in the late 90s/early 2000s and rose to great popularity both in and outside Japan. The clothes are usually in black, dark pink or baby pink, but other neon colors were also acceptable (pastels could be found rarely). A plain shirt and hoodie were often worn with short tutu-like skirts in the same color-way. The hair (often worn in low ponytails with long bangs) and the makeup itself is quite plain. However, the most significant part of decora is to pile on tons of cute accessories until the bangs and shirts are barely visible. Stockings, legwarmers, arm warmers, and knee socks are also worn atop each other in different layers. Common details also include leopard prints and patterned dental masks. The style was eventually merged/replaced in the late 2000s by fairy kei and OTT-lolita in Japan. Though it is still a relatively popular style overseas. “Basically, ‘aomoji-kei’ is about wearing whatever you want to wear without caring whether or not you look attractive, cute, or sexy."

Agejo

(Kyabajo)

Agejo is a very glamorous, and sexy style. Generally worn by your typical hostess, not limited to a hostess. The idea is to be flawlessly glamorous, and desirable. Emphasizing on enlarging, and enhancing the eyes with circle contact lenses, with several sets of false eyelashes. The hairstyle is always styled as in updos, curls, extensions, wigs etc. Very common for agejo's to wear a couple wigs at the same time. This style is very feminine. Two steps away from being Hime-Gyaru. Agejo is a little more skimpy but classy.

If you live in the US you are required to get prescription from doctor and basic training on how to take care of and put on and take off your lenses properly. *Everyone puts there lenses on differently so this important.

The Basics Lens Care

  1. Wash your hands and dry your hands with a lint-free towel.
  2. Remove one lens and clean it with the recommended solution (Saline solution). The FDA recommends that you rub the lens in the palm of your hand with a few drops of solution.
  3. Rinse the lens again to remove the loosened debris.
  4. Place the lens in your clean lens case or lens holder and fill with a fresh solution.
  5. Repeat steps two through four for your other lens.
Here are two videos on lense care that are awesome references:

Take Care of your hair tips:

1. Always use a comb(wide tooth is preferred) to style your hair and if you bought wig essence use to help detangle with the comb.
2. Use a hair cap to protect your hair from wig uses.
3. Wash your hair with cold water(preferred) or lukewarm and you can use dry-shampoo spray sparingly and let dry naturally. If you're using human hair or proceed hair use protein shampoo (Pantene).
4. To much use of Alcohol-based hair products can actually deteriorate the wig fibers, especially on synthetic wigs.
5. Use your wigs holder/heads(after washing), or use the original packaging it came in which usually can be closed with a snap-back button to protect and store your hair.
