In this episode, Leechy rewrites her entry about the frill cult meetup

I originally had this written into my previous entry, but I just found a few more photos, and I think the meetup really deserved an entry all by itself, and not be drowned in talks of photoshoots and magazine woes.


On february 11th, I attended a lolita meetup. Oh, how I've missed the feeling of hanging with a bunch of gorgeously dressed girls! There's just something about walking in a crowd of lolitas!

Mero and Bolette talking with (god, I never got her name ;_; )

We went to a super fancy tea salon, called Perch (it belongs to the oldest tea shop in Denmark, if memory serves correct), where tea is served in silver pitchers, a ridiculously long tea menu, and delicious cakes. Don't even get me started on the interior itself.

We sat at a long table, and everyone looked gorgeous!! I was so impressed with everyone's outfit!! The best thing was, that it seemed like everyone was having a really good time, and that no one felt left out in the conversations.

We all got smiles and curious looks from the other patrons, and a few asked us politely why we looked the way we did. Que; the standard speech. I think everyone knows the explanation by heart now, but it never really gets tiresome, to tell people why we dress the way we do.

Sabrina did this amazing new hairstyle, and it just looked so pretty!!

Perch Tea Salon is just so beautiful!! Check out Sabrina's blog, to see photos from the event. Or visit Bolette's blog to see photos (it's in danish, but the pictures are still good!)

Sabrina, Stephanie and I had booked tickets for The Woman in Black later in the evening, and since I'd booked 3 more tickets, just in case, we asked if any of the lolitas wanted to join us after we left the salon.
Two girls joined us; Bolette and Anchu, and we drank hot cocoa and coffee at the cinema café, talking and laughing, until it was time to watch the movie.

This movie.... it was SO scary!! I'm really bad with horror movies, and this thing played heavily on things moving in the background, creepy sounds, and shock flashes!
I wanted to watch this movie, because it was a victorian horror flick, a remake of an old Hammer production, and it starred Daniel Radcliff, whom I was really looking forward to see as someone else than Harry Potter.
Of course, Harry was in the back of my mind at times, but Daniel did SO well!! He really does pain, anguish and bravery so well! He also looked so grown up, and I must say, it suits him very well!!
I spent so many times hiding my face in my faux fox stole, muttering things like "Nonononononono!!" "what are you doing?!!" "Duuuuuuude!!" "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck!!" etc. I was so scared!!
At the same time, this was all done with a lot of elegance and class. A must, when you're doing a period piece.
My only quib would have to be a kind of crappy special effect at the end of the movie (nothing major tho'), and I just hate horror movie endings, but I still loved it!!

My final thing for you in this entry is this; My dad and brother came by sunday, and delivered my most coveted vanity table! It's been at my parents' house for a few weeks, where I've been sanding and painting it, but now it's finally where it belongs!

I still need to put in the glass handles I've bought for it, and then all I need to do is find the perfect chair for it! I don't know if I'll go for something big and soft, or for a small bench that'll fit underneath the tabletop.
