Recently, me and my good friend Jenna drove to Seattle, WA. to attend Sakuracon!
Hung out with Kirsty and her best friend for a bit! Jenna & I roomed with my friend Danny, who is on the far right!
Kirsty is so cute! I really liked her choice of a mint coloured wig. Mint with lavendar is such a cute colour combo! I looove yellow with blue (another weird combo, I guess) but I'd never seen this one before!!
Me and Jennnnnnnaaaaaa ♥ ♥ ♥
I really liked the lighting in this bathroom! I kept going back everyday to take photos! XD
Jenna took this really cool nighttime photo! I love Seattle!
The lolita meet we both attended! There were a ton of lolitas~!
Our makeup shot! Jenna looks super cute, I think!
I am always one for cloying accessory shots, haha.
Everyone that was at the meet!
I really like this photo of her!! * 3*
Both of us~♥
One of my favourite pics ever of me! I usually hate most photos of my face!
I thought Jenna did a really good job taking this photo! I'm using it as my Facebook default right now I like it so much!
Overall, we had a really fun weekend! I got sick right as we were leaving, which wasn't so fun...but oh well, at least I'm not dying!
Even though cons are filled with a lot of things that I don't like participating in, I'm actually really fond of the enviornment! I'd much prefer a lolita meet to a con, but I'll take what I can get! They always end up being really amusing, to say the least!~
I know that, for a lot of lolitas, there's a certian, let's say, "stigma" towards going to anime conventions. I can understand the whole idea from trying to break away from cons (So that we can do our best to be associated as a different sub-niche of Japanese wacky-ness, rather than grouped in with the anime crowd) but I personally find that I tend to fit in at anime conventions.
On a random side note, I think my favourite comment the whole weekend came from a man driving through the same parking garage we were in, as we were getting things out of Jenna's trunk, dressed in lolita.
Man: What are you all dressed up for?
Me: Oh, just an anime convention. Lots of nerds, you know.
Man: An ENEMA convention?!??!?!?!
Me: Anime convention. Like, a convention with animation. For nerds.
Man (looking oddly dissapointed): Oh...
He then proceeded to drive off.
Do you ladies like to go to anime convetions? What are your opinions on Lolitas at anime conventions, vs. Lolitas in their own element?

you look AMAZING! :)
i think lolitas fit in at anime conventions as much as cosplayers etc do.
cons aren't dedicated to cosplaying, it's dedicated to the love of all things japanese :D
i only wear lolita at conventions so i guess it's different :/
btw i'm going to be wearing my DDH salopette i bought from you at fanime! are you going? <3
@Iomoo:
Ahh, thank you so much! I'm super glad you think so * 3* I thought I could have looked better, but oh well! XD
I think that's a really good point! I just notice that a lot of lolitas seem to not like going to conventions! So I really wonder what type of opinions are out there! XD
Unfortunately, I'm not going this year! Boohoooo :((( OOOH so cute!! I can't wait to see photos of you in it! It's funny, because I wore that very same salopette LAST year at fanime! I guess, even if I don't get to attend the con...the salopette is, for me, in spirit!! Hahahaha
oh nononon you looked FABULOUS!! you should be proud that you make such a good sweet lolita <3
hmmm...i think maybe it's because most lolitas aren't from major cities that have the fun conventions/meet ups such as seattle/ca/ny and maybe a few other places :( so then they go to conventions and it's probably kinda crappy, in comparison to something like AX.
OH NOOO! sadness :( i'm excited to wear it!
what a coincidence~ you will definitely be there in spirit! i wish i hadn't missed that fancy french name lolita event last year. maybe someday they'll come back...!
You all look so adorable!
Hmmm I find it odd when lolitas go to conventions, but only when they're the 'OMG I HATE ANIME' kind...I mean, why would you go in that case xP But it's nice to wear it somewhere where you won't stand out so much, I think.
And omg enema convention - what a creepy guy!
You're looking adorable as always, Ashlee~. I can't wait to get to Oregon and see you more often!! Also, yay for me for making it into your Sakuracon blog post! *◡*
PFFF Enema convention! XD
