BIBLIOTHECA GAZETTE ~ June 2023: Picnic


Remember the sunscreen and bug spray, my friends.


If anyone’s wondering, I’m the lolita who brought a savory dish to the potluck.


Reader, I got distracted by the mocktail novelty cup. You’ll understand when you see it.


frillSquid - Bibliotheca: Picnics Looking forward to the fried catfish photoshoot.

How did I not write about gelatin when the theme was ‘Picnic’? Listen, I still kinda did.

I once drove to a big meetup through a brushfire and wasn’t sure if the freeways would be open for me to get back home…(this is relevant, I promise)

Experience this monthly meetup in LA’s Little Tokyo!

Hey…I think I know this event… (I was also J-Fashion Dept staff, that’s the joke)


As for me, I’m always shooting shorties, so I pop a squat and take the photo from down low. Works every time most of the time!


Please buy stuff from small brands, this message brought to you by Bay Area Kei.


Kelp also prefers Sawtelle Japantown to Little Tokyo, if only for traffic reasons…
