City Pop Night!




Hey everyone!
Now that I got enough sleep I can blog about yesterday 

In case you didn't know, I LOVE City Pop music!  I grew up loving 1970's funk and disco music like Bee Gees, Earth Wind and Fire and ABBA. Then last year I decided to deep-dive into the neon colored world of City Pop, which was influenced by those genres. There's something very magical about its atmosphere and musicality 
 
Back in April, I found about City Pop Night, a monthly party in downtown São Paulo, which I attended with Ronron and Larie. Yesterday, Ronron and I attended again (and Larie was supposed to be with us too but she couldn't this time ). The best part is that it's a FREE event, so no ticket is needed! You can just walk in! 




I wanted my whole outfit to be very  so I wore some face gems and used my Blinger hair bedazzler!!! 

 Koakuma Ageha "Fairy Eye" + Diamond Lash "Princess Eye";
 IGOODCO Girl Power palette + Mahav Joker gel glitter palette;
 Dailus lip liner in "Latte", M.A.C Satin lipstick in "Fleshpot" and NARS lip gloss in "Turkish Delight.


I took this picture at the end of the party, pls don't mind my messy hair ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ


The shirt is  and the rest is off brand Purse is thrifted from TrixxieShopz.

I wore 80 denier tights because it was REALLY cold last night ~さむい  unfortunately those were the closer to my skin tone I could find! Note to self: look for tights that actually match my skin 

I was supposed to wear some white lace shorts but I couldn't find them for life. So I went with that skirt, which doesn't look bad but the short would be a better option ಥ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ಥ


Ronron and I both got at the club at 9PM, and this month's party was a bit different as it was their first anniversary! So there was free cake! 
 
They also had those candy-filled balloons... But unfortunately I couldn't get any candy  People closer to it took everything before I could!


Ronron and I were wearing the same boots but with different colors ww




Enjoying the free cake~


You might have (rightly) guessed that everyone's favorite tracks were "Plastic Love" and "Stay With Me". There was even a lady dressed as Mariya Takeuchi! But people get so TURNT with "Stay With Me" it's crazy (myself included)! 

It's very crazy to think that a almost 50 year old song, in a completely different language, sung by an artist who is already gone, gets everyone so hyped to this day! Music really is magical 

I also love "Goodbye Boogie Dance", "The Stress", "Bay City", "Flyday Chinatown", "Shyness Boy", "Neat Na Gogo Sanji", "4:00 A.M." and "I Can't Stop the Loneliness"  I just wish they played more Yukiko Okada!

The party ended at 2AM. Although I had fun, I had a sore throat all week, and it got worse after it. Because of it, I felt like I didn't enjoy it as much as in April. After a while, I had to stay shut and avoid talking, which was annoying because I was with Ronron and we love talking and gossiping to each other!  Either way, we don't see each other for almost two months and it was nice to see her again 


My voice is basically non-existent right now  my throat doesn't even feel sore anymore, it's just... Not working lmao I feel like that Toy Story penguin or a bootleg toy phone with a dead battery  

I guess I'll be fine by tomorrow!

Now we're on to Larie's birthday party on the 27th!!! Can't wait!
