Konnichiwa mina-san! Wow, I just reopened this blog and already, I have some loyal readers!I guess I kept some of my readers from my old Jtrends blog! Thanks so much for the kind words, guys! It really means a lot to me that SOMEONE is actually enjoying my blog (well, besides me, of course!)
To kick off your Tuesday, I’m going to answer some questions you guys have asked me either through e-mail or my youtube account. I was actually very surprised how many questions I’ve gotten, considering only a few of you have commented! Many of you have asked the same questions, so instead of answering each of you individually, I thought, Why not make a post? So here we go, the questions are numbered in order of popularity (how many times I’ve been asked). ^___^
1) Do you wear Lolita every day?
~Well, it would depend on what you classified as “Lolita”. If you mean, do I wear a skirt, petticoat, blouse, and makeup every day? Then the answer is no. I use GothLoli to school and out and about, but when I’m at home, I’ll sit around in a pettiskirt and t-shirt, or on days when I’m sick, I’ll wear some hello kitty sweats/ pajamas. I generally try to look very clean and put together most of the time, so I don’t usually wear sweats outside of my house.
2) Do you DIY any of your clothes?
~I TRY to! Hahaha, I’m not very good with a needle and thread, I mean, I can sew my pointe shoes in a snap (for ballet), but when it comes to sewing a skirt, my stitches end up looking messy and unfit to leave the house >__<. I think my best DIYs are my headdresses, I don’t think I’ve ever bought a headdress, I make all of mine myself! I’ll post some tutorials up so you guys can make your own too!
3) Do you speak/write Japanese?
~ I’m in the learning process. I can speak broken Japanese, and understand relatively it OK, but I’m by no means fluent. Writing’s even harder. I can recognize a lot of the kanji, but there’s even more that I can’t! I can write in Katakana and Hiragana, but that’s it.
4) So who translates your blog entries into Japanese?
~The wonderful people at Chiebukuro do! I simply ask the question and they translate it for me! I’ve also gotten a lot of great tips from there! Since it’s a Japanese site, it lets me practice my kanji at the same time!
5) Are you teased for dressing in Lolita?
~Yes, ALL the time. My school is a sea of conformists that listen to mainstream music and wear skinny jeans and tank tops that are too tight for them. Not that I have anything against people that do, I just wish that they would keep an open mind towards fashion, and not judge and put down everyone that’s different. But, I mean, I’m sure Mana-Sama was teased too at one point, and look at him now! If he can put up with it, then so can I! And besides, I’ve got some great friends that stand up for me and like me JUST the way I am!
6) Why is Mana-Sama your idol?
~Wow, I can go on for DAYS on this topic. you can check out my Biography for details, but basically: I was looking for a new band and I came across Malice Mizer. I was immediately drawn to Mana-Sama’s elaborate outfits. They were so gorgeous, I remember when I found out Mana-Sama was a MAN I was a bit shocked, but it really made me admire him even more for the fact that he did his own thing and got successful though it. Mana-Sama will always hold a special place in my heart as the one that introduced me to the Lolita world. On a less heartfelt note, he’s also gorgeous and an amazingly talented guitarist, lyricist, composer and designer. He also has really amazing eyes! And that takes us to our next question…
7) Eye fetish? Huh?! What’s that?
Kozi's eyes in Gardenia!
~ This question was actually asked more then the Mana-Sama question, but I thought that it would flow better with this one as number seven. As you can see by the wonderful picture of my eye on the header, I like eyes. Weird, yes, I call it an eye fetish….OK, how should I try to explain this… Well, how about an anecdote? Well, the other day someone wrote me an e-mail saying how they thought my eye fetish was “unusual, disturbing, and an abomination to Lolita”. I honestly could not see how my eye fetish was ANY of these things, especially the last one. So I kept reading the e-mail, here’s an except:
“I don’t see how you can enjoy licking peoples eyes for pleasure”
I was like, huh?! O_O?!? Then I realized that this person was taking my Eye Fetish for a sexual fetish, which it isn’t at all! One of the definitions in Wikitionary for fetish is:
“An irrational, or abnormal, fixation or preoccupation.”
Now that still makes it sound weird/bad, but it’s not! I just REALLY like people’s eyes. Like, if there was this GORGEOUS guy with an amazing body and a super-sexy voice, but he had really ugly eyes, I wouldn’t be attracted to him at all. BUT, if there was a super ugly guy with AMAZING eyes, I probably wouldn’t like him either. The thing I remember most about people is their eyes. That’s why I don’t particularly like colored contacts either, they don’t really let me SEE someone’s eyes. I guess Visual Kei also goes along with my fetish, because I love the crazy eye-makeup and thick lashes. Hahaha, one of our readers, Sarah, said: “Hmmm. Could it be that you like Kozi due to his sharing of your eye fetish? Hehehehehe, I can only imagine what would happen if you guys met!” ^__^ I loved Kozi-sama even before I knew he had an eye fetish like me, after I found that out I was like, YES! Hahahhaa, if we met? hmmmmm…I’ll get back to you on that one if it ever happens…
Klaha's gorgeous eyes!

8 ) What’s your favorite store/brand?
~Well, my FAVORITE brand is obviously Moi-Meme-Moitie! But, everyone knows how expensive Moitie is, and it’s not like I can just buy a set of Moitie whenever I feel like it! The stores/ sites I shop most at are Milanoo and Fan+Friend. Closet Child is also great!
9) Why haven’t you shown us your face yet?
~ ^___^, right now I don’t have a camera, and I’d rather buy a new petticoat then a camera right now, but Christmas is right around the corner! Hopefully I’ll get one then! I don’t like posting old photos of me because I’ve changed since then!!!
If you guys have any other questions, just e-mail me or drop me a comment, I’d be happy to answer them!
