June may be Pride Month, but July is Gay Wrath month. Here's a list of indie brands to support!


Feeling hungry... for fashion? Jenna reviews the food-themes issue of Just Below the Knees, a lolita fashion zine.


Eat Me Ink Me is a Latvian-based indie lolita brand that makes historical and art-inspired designs. Jenna travelled to San Jose for FanimeCon and attended the J-Fashion Trunk Show, an J-Fashion-exclusive vending hall, and while she may not have expected to fall in love with the dress she purchased, love is often unexpected like that.


Jenna participated as a model for The Black Ribbon in the Elegant Fashion Show at Fanime - read about her experience modelling here! (Also check out her report on the Elegant Fashion Show and the Pop! Fashion Show.)

Mahou Queen's first foray into hosting a larger meet was her comm's Summer ILD, which consisted of a shopping expedition followed by a lovely dinner!

Sadly, this year's Paradiso was also the last one. Mahou Queen goes over the history of larger-scale Western lolita events and speculates on the future of these kinds of events.


It looked like a berry good time!
