Darning free zone

Hello and hope you're having a jolly good day as we move into the fall.
The great thing about the fall is the colour of the leaves changing aided by low glowing sun but there's no getting away from it, it's a little cooler than it was.
That takes me to one of the essentials of my uniform, long over the knee socks to keep my legs nice and warm.

Well, a pair of mine were getting a bit of hole in them and with my paws I can't darn them  so in replacing them I give a hit of thought what they were going to go with and these go with my school skirt as well as my black pinafore dress.
With that I got two pairs of each from Sexy Minx - not all her stuff is suitable for children - but what the heck, she's a great etailer on ebay.
Rather dash don't you think?

EGL Edition

A couple of Elegant Gothic Lolita items I quite like:
From Candy Fruit, this traditional Maids Outfit.

























Metamorphose: This is available in a number of different colours, this one being the Rose Pink Gardening Teddy Dress.

Cosplay

Today I'm feeling liking talking about Cosplay Pronounced, kosupure is short for "costume play", a type of performance art whose participants outfit themselves, with often-elaborate costumes and accessories, as a specific character. The characters are usually sourced in various Japanese and East Asian media forms, including tokusatsu, manga, anime comic books, graphic novels, videogames, and fantasy films. Other sources include performers from Visual Kei, J-Pop,J-Rock, fantasy music stories, novels, and objects from the real world or cyber-space that are often are unique and dramatic.

Cosplay participants ("cosplayers") create a subculture centred around wearing their costumes and re-enacting scenes or inventing likely social behaviour inspired by sources they have chosen. In some circles, the term cosplay has been broadened to include simply wearing a costume, without special consideration given to enacting characters in a performance context.

In Japan a whole district may be seem to be inhabited by the cosplayers and many business support it, supplying the needs.In the west this has been picked up on by the interests in gaming and anime.

This has had an influence on role play with males taking on the roles of females in play - think Second Life. There are a number of suppliers of Cosplay made to measure outfits. The image at the top of this post is of one. Cute, eh?
