Lolita and Ball Jointed Doll Meme

Lolita & Ball Jointed Doll Meme

·         Who are you? 

Hello,I’m NyappyAnne, I’m a girl (no, I’m not a guy, like google/some people who visit my blog think, yeah I always read my blog statistics) and I live in the Netherlands. My blog is manly about Lolita fashion, Ball Jointed Dolls and the things on my mind. Oh, now I forgot to tell that I love to blog, but I think you already know that!

·         Why do you have this blog?

I love Lolita fashion and Ball Jointed Dolls and I want to show that to the rest of the world. Those to hobby’s are so much fun, I met great people because of it and I want to encourage new  people who are doubting about those hobby’s to start with it! And I love to read other blogs, I think it’s really interesting to read about other people’s interests.

·         What can I expect to see on your blog in the future?

I’m sure that I will be uploading this blog every once in a week (or more) this upcoming year. I’m going to show you my recent buyings, outfit post every once in a while, a new Lolita wishlist for this year, a wardrobe post, meet-up photos, posts about my Ball Jointed Dolls, Handmade items and post about Lolita in general.

Lolita:

·         How long do you wear Lolita?

In November for 4 years.

·         What’s your favourite style?

That’s a difficult question, I love sweet Lolita and gothic Lolita both. At the moment I would say gothic Lolita because I haven’t wore sweet Lolita for months, in summer I would say sweet Lolita. 

·         Why Sweet Lolita?

I love to dress up like a princess, in lovely clothes with cute prints or nice lace and with cute accessory. It makes me feel happy!

·         Why Gothic Lolita?

I love gothic fashion but it’s too dark for me, I wanted to wear something that’s dark and cute at the same time. The gothic Lolita style gives me that chance. Gothic Lolita gives me that elegant antique doll feeling, I can be that antique doll while I wear gothic Lolita.

·         How did you pick a style?

Like you can see in the question here above, I haven’t picked one style. At the moment I wear gothic Lolita and Sweet Lolita. When I started with Lolita I already decided that I wanted to wear Sweet Lolita and I started to save up for my first sweet Lolita dress. I was young back then so I hadn’t that much money to spent, just enough for a metamorphose jsk which I truly loved back then. I haven’t thought much about it, I just wanted to wear it because I thought it was an amazing style. After a while I decided that I wanted to fur fill one of my dreams, buying a Moi-même-Moitié  dress, I loved Mana’s brand Moitié  so much. (I still do ^__^) In the end, it I haven’t bought a dress then, I bought a skirt, I couldn’t spend more than that, because I also needed a gothic blouse.  You know that Moitié  is really expensive, so I never thought I would ever own a skirt and a blouse of that brand. So, I wasn’t really aware that I wanted to wear gothic Lolita, I was my dream to own a Moitié  item. Now I know why I wanted to wear gothic Lolita, because it’s so elegant, I think this style suits me more than sweet Lolita and I can wear it for more years than sweet Lolita.

·         What inspires you to wear Lolita fashion?

Every week I go searching on (Japanese) street fashion websites for new inspiration,  Daily Lolita, my Lolita friends inspire me a lot and also my favourite Lolita models: Mana-Sama, RinRin and Misako. Flowers and nature are a great inspiration for me and cute things such as toys ,food ,dolls and more. Other styles: Gyaru, Mori, Gothic and ‘normal’ fashion are important for my style. And Visual Kei bands influence my own style too. Especially Hizaki (Versailles), Kaya, Asagi (D), Kamijo (Versailles) and Mashiro (paradeis, ex himeyuri).

·         Are you a lifestyle Lolita?

 No, I’m not I lifestyle Lolita that’s not possible for me due my jobs and school.  It does make it more special when I wear it, I feel very happy when I can wear it. I don’t think if it was possible for me to wear Lolita all the time that I would wear it every day.  Wearing Lolita every day is very tiresome: you need to stay tuned not breaking anything with you petticoat, not every piece of Lolita clothing is very comfortable to wear all day long and people can’t stop staring at me. Lolita is more than fashion for me but not a lifestyle, I think I consider it as a hobby.

·         So, you consider Lolita fashion as a hobby, why?

 It’s not only about frilly dresses and looking pretty. I think Lolita is also about visiting meetings and having fun with the other Lolitas (shopping, do a high tea, going to the beach, visiting museums,  visiting fairs & more). One of my favourite pursuits is creating a coord that’s nearly perfect, it fun to do. I also love to create and make my own clothes and baking cute cakes and such.

·         What’s your dream dress?

Cherry Berry Bunny (Angelic Pretty),Cathedral (Moi-Meme-Moitie) and I would love to own a dress from Rosa Nitida and a dress from 4 o’clock (by Linda Friesen).

Cherry Berry Bunny

Cathedral

·         How can you afford all those expensive clothes?

First of all, I have to admit that I’m a little bit spoiled, I think that has to do that I have no brothers or sisters.  When I don’t need something I will sell it immediately and I work and I have more than one job... I don’t mind it at all, I like my work.

·         How long do you want to wear Lolita fashion?

I’m not planning to stop wearing Lolita anymore. I think I will wear it for now until I’m somewhere in my twenties of sure but I think when I’m 25 years old I’m going to wear it toned down or I will stop wearing it. Maybe I stop wearing it a lot earlier, I don’t know what the future is going to bring! As long as I love Lolita fashion and I feel happy when I wear it, I won’t stop. But I know there will be a day that other things become more important or that I will be too old to wear it. For now, I’m very happy I started to wear Lolita when I was young, I can wear a few more years then other Lolitas.

·         Do you want to say something to people who are new to Lolita fashion and who want to wear it?

Ask to yourself if you really want to wear it and if the answer is yes, please begin wearing it. Don’t let others makes this decision for you, if you want this it’s okay. Don’t let other people scare you about the thing that Lolitas are mean  people, that not true but do not forget that Lolitas are people too! Then it’s up to you: do good research, search for inspiration, ask for help when you need it  and think well before you buy something. I did that wrong, I regret this a little bit. First you need to buy the basic of the style you want to wear, then buying other items, dress, accessory ect. Otherwise you are going to have many half outfits hanging there in your closet, which you cannot wear. Oh, and go searching a Lolita community in your neighbourhood, it’s fun to meet-up with other Lolitas and you learn more about the style than.

Ball Jointed Dolls

·         How many dolls do you have?

I have six dolls at the moment, I’m sure this is not going to be the end of my ball jointed doll family.

·         What are the names and the molds of your BJD?

(from new to older) Mimi – Fairyland Pukifee Bonnie, Noah- Crobidoll Haz, Maya- Souldoll lev the fool, Kamijo- Fairyland Minifee Karsh, Nono- Fairyland Littlefee Flora and Miki- Boy and Girl Hera.

·         Tell me about your dolls?

Mimi is a little fairy, Nono is my little pandagirl, Kamijo is a elf assassin who loves to wear Chinese and Japanese traditional clothes, Maya is a forest elf, Noah is a visual kei artist (he is not finished yet) and Miki is a ghost.

·         Don’t you think dolls are for young children?

No, I don’t think so! Dolls are for every age, children play with dolls, but I don’t play with them. Ball Jointed Dolls aren’t made to play with like children do, those dolls for more valuable and fragile than normal dolls. I make clothes for my dolls, I take pictures, write little stories about them, take them to meet-ups and I look at them while they are sitting next to my bed.

·         Why do you like BJD?

I always loved dolls, I never stopped collecting dolls. When I was younger I collected Polly Pocked and Winx Club dolls. When I was a little bit older I bought a Blythe and a Pullip. I never stopped liking dolls, I like them so much because they can look like I want and they can be the person I want them to be. Ball Jointed Dolls are dolls but they can look like real persons, that’s makes them so interesting I think. They will be dolls, only with a little bit more reality than others.

Rest:

·         What’s your favourite music?

I haven’t got a favourite music genre, I love to listen to visual kei bands/music (and watch their pv’s) I like Malice Mizer, Versailles, The Gazette, Kaya, D, Moi Dix Mois, Sug (their older music), Dir en Grey and Paradeis the most. These bands aren’t my favourites, my favourite band is from the west : Keane. I also like: Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Within Temptation,Queen,David Guetta, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, The Red hot chilli Peppers, Snow Patrol, Nightwish and many more..

·         Do you have other hobby’s which aren’t BJD or Lolita related?

Yes, I like spending time with my friends: going to movies, shopping,  talking just ‘normal’ things. I love to listen to music, I can’t live without nice music. I love to read books, especially Dutch literature, fantasy, history books and I also love to watch anime or read manga. I like photography only I’m very bad, I need to learn a lot more about that. My favourite hobby beside Lolita and BJD is travelling, I love to see new places, to meet new people and learn about other cultures!

·         What would you been doing now if you didn’t know about Lolita & BJD?

I think I would visit every interesting music festival  or concert here in Holland, travelling around the world, learning other languages and rescue little sea turtles somewhere far, far away in another country. This sounds great, I think I’m going to sell all my dolls and clothes now... Hahaha no, I’m just kidding, I can do this anytime I want, I just need to save up for it. Only it’s really difficult when your dolls need new clothes or your dolls want a new doll or I want a new dress and the new dress wants a new blouse and the blouse wants new socks, blablablabla! I think you know what I mean by now, I enjoy life and I’m sure I’m going to do these things in the future! ~~

·         What’s your favourite animal?

 I love cats, cats are so cute. I have one cat, he’s red/orange and he is very lazy, I love him so much! <3  I think that being nice to animals is a great thing, it’s so important I think. If you can’t be nice to animals, I don’t think you can be nice to humans either. I don’t understand why people could hate animals...

·         What would you like to say to your followers and readers? 

 First of all, thank you for following my blog! It means so much to me that you like my blog, I don’t think my life is interesting at all but my 36 followers think it is... I never thought my blog would have more than 8000 page views and I would have 36 followers, I can’t believe that. I want to excuse myself for my English, it’s not my first language and I know I make mistakes, I’m sorry for that. I’m still learning! If there is something you think I need to know, or you have any questions for me feel free to ask. I won’t bite, I’m here to help you and I want my blog to be interesting for my readers.

Thank you so much for reading all this, it was a huge post, please don’t hate me now because I let you read all this. At least I hope you got to know me a little bit better!  Do you have any question, concerns, or something else feel free to send me a e-mail:  sweetlolitadoll-94@hotmail.com
Don’t be scared, I will do my best to answer your question, it can be about me, about Lolita fashion, my dolls, something else. ^^



Let's Talk!

Hello everyone! ^_^

It's the first post of the year, I want to say happy new year to all of you!

The year 2012, who knows what it's going to bring us.

I hope it will be a great year for all of us!

Let me show you one of the last oufits from 2011:

So... now I want to talk.. talk about the new year,I have this feeling things are going to change.

Some of you know (the Dutch lolitas) that I'm selling some of  my lolita clothes.

It's not because I want to stop wearing lolita, I still love it so much! <3

Only there are some things that are more important and I want to love the clothes that I have in

my closet.

That's the whole problem, I don't like all my lolita clothing...

I because of I changed and my style changed a lot too.

I don't like the things I totally loved some years ago.

I want to have a lolita closet I can be proud of and I want to love all the items I have.

Don't wanna have items to make my closet look bigger.

So I hope I can sell the items I don't like anymore and buy something of it I totally love! ^______^

*I want to trade: Holy Stained Glass*

*I want to sell: Candy House Metamorphose*

  Offbrand blue Headdress

  Metamorphose Gingham Cherry Skirt

  Pink Angelic Pretty Cutsew

  Pink Metamorphose Sailor Cardigan

Interessed in one of these items? Please contact me here or on the Dutch lolita forum. ^^

I also made some pictures of Noah, I changed his style a little bit.

I like it but I'm not completely happy with it but it's just the beginning of the big change!

Here are the pictures:

And I want to show you some pictures from the Fly Away Fashion meet:

Together with Jannike

Everyone at the meet

Let's fly away!

Hello everyone! ^____^

Some weeks ago I said I was working on a belt for myself.

Let me tell you why: I saw this belt on the blog from Velvetbat and I loved that belt.

I was so pretty, I wanted to have something like that myself...

So.. I asked if she wanted to do a commission, but she said no.

*Now I totally understand this, Velvetbat! It's difficult to make a belt like this, it's not that

easy as it looks like...*

Still I wanted to have that pretty belt, that's why I asked my teacher if I could make something

like that and I could...

Three weeks later, I finished this corset and I'm so happy!

It's not perfect, I know that, but I put lots of energy in it so I'm happy it's finished.

Let me show you were this belt is based on:

It's from the Gyaru brand TutuHa, isn't it a lovely belt?! ^__^

And this is the one Velvetbat made, the belt I made is based on this one because I like it

more than the original.

It's time to show you the belt I made:

Picture while I was working on the belt...

Me wearing the belt:

I hope you will like it! ^__^

Now I'm working on a red summer dress....

I kind of liked to make that belt, this week I was so bored,

and I decided to make the same belt for Noah:

This weekend I was reading the news paper and I saw this, it's about Ball Jointed Dolls and their owners:

It written in Dutch, it's about their dolls, why they have dolls like that, how many dolls they own and

what they do with their dolls..

It was very interesting to read!  ^^

A friend of mine made a drawing for me, I'm so happy! :D

It's beautiful, I totally love it!

It's so sweet, she made this for me. ^^

Please go to deviantart to see it in the real size, it's too
big to post it on my blog in the real size..


ByeBye, See you next time! :D

Dolls dolls dolls!

(Nearly) All the dolls, mine are not in the picture. I was talking with someone at that time xD
                                         
*picture by:kyanara*

I promised you to show something more of my dolls, these few months I had a sort of lack of inspiration.
So annoying you know, I wanted to design and make clothes and stuff for my dolls, I just couldn't do this.
At the moment I have some more inspiration and I sure this time I'm going to make new stuff for my dolls.
I need to finish Noah, I definitely not happy with his look now.
I'm not going to give up, I like dolls which are not so mainstream, like Noah, his teeth make him more special only it's also a little bit difficult to make him look ''nice'' on pictures.
And why would I give up the hope for Noah? I bought him some months ago with the idea, he was amazing so I think it's going to be okay! Enough about Noah, I believe you don't want to hear anything about him anymore... I talk to much about him, lol! xD

Dolliverse was so much fun, I talked with nice people and saw some friends again.
I forgot my camera again >.<  Luckily, Dieuwke took some beautiful pictures from my dolls:
(I hope you don't mind, I use this pictures on my blog!!)

Oh and one picture from Brenna-Ivy, she makes amazing pictures and has beautiful dolls.
The panda in the picture is Nono and the other cute doll is Alex. Alex is so cute!! <3 Alex belongs to Stievel.

This time no pictures from other dolls because I forgot my camera, I think it's a little bit rude to ''steal''
pictures from someone else when my dolls aren't not on it. So about this pictures in this post: please do not steal them, those are not mine. Ask the real 'owners'! Nono will eat you if you don't ask that! ^_~ (let me tell a secret: she looks cute but she is a evil panda)

Bonus picture:

Kamijo with new hair! :D

I like it more than his old wig. ^^
