Kind of silly to start another one so soon, don't you
think? Oh well, I've already missed having it around just for the sake of easy
posting xD. I have a lot of projects I should be working on and finals are
comming up pretty soon, so I probably won't have much to actually update on for
a little while (Unless you're interested in my science fair project, but lets
face it, I'm not even interested in that). Like when I started the 30 day
lolita challenege, I figure it will help me to post something or another even
during really busy times ;u;. I won't be doing the ones that are similar to
prompts I've done for the 30 day lolita challenge though~! I'm pretty excited
about this one though, a lot of the days seem like a lot of fun :D!

☆ Day one: 5 things you like and 5 things you dislike about
Fairy-Kei.
Here are five of my favorite things about fairy kei~
1. The freedom of the style! There's just SO much you can do
with it. Theres no way to really define what
fairy kei is, aside from some elements of the style that are
commonly used (colors, characters, fabrics). That means its different for
everyone and you can really be free and express yourself throguh this style!
Thats the best aprt abou tit in my opinion ;u;!
2. The colors! I can't tell you how it brightens my day to
see a bunch of pastels in my closet ;u;. Also, it really saves time doing
laundry xD!
3. The stereotype. I know it seems a bit odd, but in my mind
the typical fairy kei girl is all about breaking free from society and
drowining in cutesy creativity. An adorable anarchy girl! I personally really
like that sort of image xD
4. The community ~ It's really quite relaxed! There's really little to no hate around it and that's extremely refreshing coming from lolita, where there can be a lot of negative energy.
5. Last but not least, The handmade aspect! A lot of popular fairy kei accessories and even clothes are easy for anyone to make! Even some the Spank! brand things have that handmade cuteness~. It's really very cool to me how common crafting and sewing is within fairy kei. Even with thrifting or going second-hand shopping it's just great how you can find items that characterize your own one of a kind style~.
And 5 dislikes!
1. The names for the style. I'm more or less indifferent about it at this point, but a lot of discussion and no real solution always comes about with the three different names fairy kei, spank! kei, and popkei. I personally consider spank! kei a thing (though many others don't, and that's okay too!), but I group all of these sects of the style under the name "Fairy Kei". I just dislike how complex it appears to be.
2. The community. Confusing, huh? There are a few aspects of the community that I wish were different, and mostly it's that we're not as close knit as we could be! I know of a few fairy kei girls and guys, local and not so, and I really really wish that we could get closer. Maybe having an active local lolita community has spoiled me, but I think we should totally have fairy kei meetup or something too~!
3. It's still pretty unknown in the west ;A;. On a few occasions people have asked if I was in lolita while in fairy kei, and while I love how known lolita is becoming, I wish fairy kei would reach that level too! There's some great stuff going on to remedy that though! Check out
Sweet Streets, for example, who just recently had a Spank & Chubby Bunny pop up shop in LA!
I really can't think of any other things to dislike! xD I suppose that's a good thing though ~ ;u; I'll try to maybe finish this one in less than six months, but who knows how long it'll take me?
Thanks for looking!
