Macabre VKei Party

 

I'm posting this with a huge delay but there's a good reason for that!! Ww

On July 26th (Sunday), I went to my first vkei concert ever!  Other than The GazettE and Mana-sama, I'm not very familiar with the vkei world. However, I attended because someone very dear and special to me was celebrating their birthday there, and I was curious to see how the vkei scene looks like! 

Macabre is a vkei party in São Paulo that features a few Brazilian vkei bands that do both cover and original songs. Some have even toured in Japan! It was also the debut of my friend Dan's band, Esther!  So it was all indeed very exciting!

It was set in La Iglesia, in Pinheiros, west side of São Paulo

I ended up losing my bracelet... Thankfully I have this photo 

I HAD to get this Mana-sama sticker at the souvenir shop... The other one was a freebie!

Esther gave away pin buttons to those who used their coupon code for the tickets!

Lemme tell you guys... I did feel like a fish out of water, especially in the start. I met some other friends there, but I felt misplaced among so many gothic lolitas, some jirai girls, and everyone else in corpse paint (and they all looked amazing!!! The outfits were all showstopping). Until my friend Cris arrived and we could #gyarubond together!

It was her first time in a vkei event as well and we were both a bit admired with all of the gothic melancholia  so different from our colorful and sparkling eurobeat world! It was like leaving Barbieland to pay a quick visit to the underworld! 

Overall, I did have fun and it was a really good time!  I made a lot of new friends and the music was great, although it's not a genre I particularly listen on a daily basis (I still like my dopamine-inducing euro and trance music better ww).

I'm still scared of mosh pits though. I'm sorry.  In my defense, it's not easy to get in one in extremely high heels.

Now to why I took so long to post about it... I got some professionally done photos there and was waiting for them to drop! 

My photos with Cris were taken later during the party, which means you can see my pompadour losing its glory wwwww

Now to my look...

I have to say, this was one of the greatest makeup looks I've ever done! My whole outfit was inspired by kyabajo and koakuma-kei (it's not visible in any of my photos but my dress was at ankle length with a slit on the left thigh) and I did a bedazzled makeup loosely inspired by Erisa Kaminomiya's iconic deco makeup, while the big pompadour hairstyle was inspired by Shizuka Muto 

The shadows look a lot more pink in my selfies, but if you look closely in the professional photos, you can see it's actually purple! 

 Koakuma Ageha "Fairy eye", Taobao off-brand lower lashes;

 ColourPop Ooh La La! palette, Ruby Rose Obsidian Mystic Glam cream eyeshadow in "Amethyst";

 Bruna Tavares x Hello Kitty liquid blush in "Friendship";

 Sheglam x Catwoman Jewel Thief highlighter ring:

 Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in "Sweet Mouth".

Bonus: I also put on some rhinestones over my body! 

As for my outfit, unsurprisingly I didn't take any co*de photos again ww but the dress is C&A, acce (black rose necklace and earrings) are second-hand off-brand and the shoes, although not visible in any of the pictures, are the Melissa Party Heels in clear glitter.

A few more photos because I was like, really cute that day ww

Kanako-chan... 💔

I was really busy at work when I saw that both Yasmin and Akei had messaged me...

When I read it, I couldn't believe my eyes. It could have not been true.

But unfortunately, it was true. No matter how much I'd deny.

Kawabata Kanako, you were bigger than the stars. I'm so sorry for everything you were put through. Your bright colors shall never fade from the history of gyaru.

I hope you were welcomed with a great party up in the sky in "agepoyo" style.

Rest in the rainbow, my dear. It goes along so well with your unforgettable style.

I love you so much. Always and forever. 💔

I went on a quick trip to the mall yesterday ~ I needed to get my phone fixed (), pick up a body mist that I ran out of, and some other things.

I've really been into celeb style recently  so I've been wearing a lot of velour tracksuits! Wore my new Babyphat set for the first time today (I'll leave further details on that for another post)  Tracksuits are great because you'll look stylish while being super comfortable. They look cute with sneakers too, and since my feet was hurting from my chronic tendonitis, I ditched wearing heels this time. I was looking through Erisa Kaminomiya's blog yesterday and she used to wear a lot of cute tracksuits! Such an inspo~ 

I'm especially inspired by LA celeb style, like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, and 2000's Afro-American celeb fashion as well. I grew up being a fan of Raven Symoné, Beyoncé and Rihanna, and listening to a lot of R&B music (still do!). So naturally, I'm fascinated with Babyphat and their whole aesthetic 

After walking around the mall, I was so thirsty and decided to get a refresher at Starbucks... I don't buy anything on there for ages! I was impressed to see that my local shop was still up because many had shut down in Brazil. I got a strawberry and açaí refresher... It tastes good, but the açaí was nonexistent if you ask me 

I also picked up two packs of the Sanrio trading cards by Panini. Akei and some other friends have been collecting too! It's so exciting! It's my first time collecting trading cards
