HDLA.. sorta :p, 4/19
She had a booth for her brand set up, Deco✩Para; she's made a new blush, and she also had a rack with some clothes for sale :-3. I didn't buy any blush or lashes cus I like my CandyDoll blush best, but I did get a shirt. I think it's really cool looking :-3, and even tho the hardware is silver, I think it'll still look good.
After that I walked around and looked at the other booths. I didn't buy anything else there since most of the vendors sell more 'cute' accessories, and while I like it, it doesn't really match my style.
That being said, my favorite part about hdla is all the girls dressed in lolita. SO. CUTE. there were a couple of girls I asked for pictures cus I loved their dresses so much 😺❤️.
After that, I was with Lauren, Jacey, and Sarina again. Lauren and Jacey know a man named Ivan who takes really good pics at meets and stuff, so we met him and walked around just outside the mall to test the lighting and see if we could get any good shots.
We'd gone up to the roof of the parking garage first, but it was midday so the lighting was poor. Then we went to the ground floor and took a few in front of this little fountain on the side. Then Ivan said there's a bar that just opened, and if we asked, we could probably take some cool pictures there. The guy that was working agreed and we got a few group ones. To be honest, I didn't really want to be in the pictures (◡ ω ◡)... I feel very out of place. I got some single photos tho. I'm glad he was able to understand the kind of perspective and lighting I thought would be best for a picture, so I think mine turned out pretty good 😺👍. I felt kind of ridiculous tho.. the bar was very pretty and I wore a MA*RS set for the hdla theme today. I thought I looked kinda tacky and not very 'hostess like' like I could've with a nicer outfit (◡ ω ◡). Regardless, I'm very grateful for the time he spent to work with me on getting some good pics 😺🙏.
Just after we'd finished taking pics, Lauren had to leave <\3, so Jacey joined Sarina and I, and we went to the shopping center in Little Tokyo to take purikura (◡ ω ◡).
We went to the newer booth first and did a group shot. I already have that one in my wallet :-3.. but that machine doesn't let you choose a background pattern anymore 😿 (the one upstairs in Weller Court does tho :-3....). I looove decorating the pictures :-3..! I got one of the actual sections too, so I got to choose the layout and which 3 of the 5 pictures I liked best :-3. Sarina was a good sport today (◡ ω ◡); she took the 'fake' section that's all 5 pics printed twice as stickers.
Then we went to the other photobooth in the same center and did another group one. I think that machine is my favorite as far as the shots themselves go. This one has close-ups and full body shots :D, AND, this booth prints out 2 full slips as opposed to just 1 with 3 sections. I don't think the layout options are as cute tho. oh well!
I got to keep one of the full slips of this one too :-3!! I think this one turned out really cutieful! You can't decorate the slips on this machine cus the screens don't work 🍅🍅🍅. Plus it freezes for like 5 minutes before it changes from the decorating screen to the layout screen 🍅🍅🍅. still. gives us time to take pictures lolol :-3!!
After the group pics at this one, I wanted a solo puri slip from this booth (◡ ω ◡).. So Sarina and Jacey went into one of the anime shops that was next door while I did my pictures.
I choose a pink and black theme for my backgrounds (duhhhh..), cus it'd match my outfit really well, AND partially camouflage all the fucking graffiti on the green screen 😒.
But this one, cus I got both slips to myself, I think the layout I chose for the 1 looks SO cool :-3!! I like it a lot 😺❤️!
While I was waiting for the machine, this girl walked past and she had that candied fruit on a stick, and I see that shit pretty often online, but I don't actually know what it is, so I asked her what it was and also where she got it :-3. It's tanghulu, it cost 6 bucks, and she got it at a stand outside Weller Court. dude. fuck yes.
I went and found Jacey and Sarina after getting my wonderful snack info. Jacey got a keychain, and it came with some gudetama toy that she didn't want. hehehe, mine now :-3.
I made them take pictures of me in this shopping center before we left it tho cus I like the cobblestone and the trees :-3..
Then we were off to Weller Court for tanghulu 😺!!!!
I got the mixed one cus I wanted to try the strawberry and the grape :-3... they were both good 😺❤️.
Before we went upstairs to the 4$ photobooth, Jacey wanted to look around the Japanese toys & makeup store downstairs.
photobooth (◡ ω ◡)。。。good thing that bitch is only 4 bucks, cus it literally died on us!! Lights off and everything! We took our group pics and as soon as the last one took, the lights shut off! The 2 girls in the booth next to us were having a similar problem with theirs 😿💔.
But we just thought ours was taking a billion years to print, so I went over to the other new style one (same as the other shopping center) and took solo puri in that one since I didn't do it earlier lol.
I wanted to decorate these ones really good (◡ ω ◡).. I always end up using the full time limit to decorate without really noticing (-ᄒᴥᄒ-). So I end up being at the booth for like 15 minutes.
I felt kinda bad once I was done for making them wait so long, since Sarina and Jacey were gonna do their solo puri at the 4$ booth, but when I walked back over, they were on the phone with the support number cus our group shot still hadn't printed!!
The lights finally came back on tho, so we were able to redo our group pics, and we all did solo puri too :-3!!!
hehe, thank you Sarina for holding up my NewJeans toys for my picture :-3 ❤️.
After our(my...) billion pictures, we went back to the Little Tokyo shopping center to eat at the same place we got curry on Wednesday. Today I got gyoza and a chicken katsu bun. Gyoza was yummy and delicious, the steamed bun was yummy and delicious, but again ... their chicken is like. fatty. groooooooss..
oh, they also really wanted to show me the anime bathroom that this place had. They had Goku on the one wall, and different generations of Naruto characters on the other.
After eating we took some pictures outside :-3.
Then we stopped in a couple cutesy stores. I thought this thing was cute ↓. too expensive tho 💔
There was also a giraffe Calico Critter set... so cute.... ❤️
Then we went to the Sanrio store. They didn't have a ton of toys that I liked, but the ones I liked, I liked a lot ❤️. not for 40$ tho, fuck I look like? Sarina found a cute hand puppet :-3. still too expensive 💔.
oh oh oh, there was this daruma with cats on it outside a shop next to the Sanrio store, so obviously I had to get pics next to it :-3.
It was around 8 at this point, and I'm like a reptile. I need a heating lamp 😭😭😭!!! So we said bye to Jacey and went back to the house (◡ ω ◡)!
When we got back we were taking pictures in the bathroom with the lights off lolol 😺
We're going back home tomorrow, so we packed up most of our stuff tonight. I want to see fat dog and sit in front of my heater 😿!! Still, I had a happy fun good time in LA this week despite my disdain for the cold and for this city (◡ ω ◡). I like all of Nyanbaba's members, I want to try and act more normal next time I see them since they were all very nice to me, and I like hanging out with Sarina (◡ ω ◡).
I know all my posts are gonna get uploaded super late, but just know I wrote them out on the correct day lolol. We can't download and transfer pics between the 2 of us without wifi, so I'm having to wait to sort, crop, and upload all my pictures 😺.
Anyways, see you next time family, バイバイ😺❤️!
