a bit more than a few outfits (part 2)

summer -fall outfits
Last week. Snow dot tights < 3 but they have a run already :( all the greens do match in rl but the lighting is odd.

Choco soda! It tasted like liquid tootsie rolls.

Purple purple tea. I really like the effect of the light purple criss cross over the socks, it's just strips of stretch fabric laced up and tied behind the knee in bows :)

make up pic, much diffrent then my usual

non-loli

School type, wishing for fall (now that it is fall I want summer back )

This shirt tends to make me look over busty :( anyway, I love that waist chain it has a little picture of alice liddel on a strand of pearls.

Action loli? i spent the day moving boxes hence the sneakers

Summer always puts be in a sailor type mood. this summer I found a love of detachable collars and short socks :O

Heart shaped pizza <3 squash, onion, and garlic I don't really like cheese so it ended up pretty healthy :)

a bit more than a few outfits (part 1)

Sorry another big gap in posting :( but I do keep my tumblr much more active (pearmaiden.tumblr.com)

I went a bit crazy with diffrent colored hair this summer black->teal->purple->black->now red/gold split

Summer outfits I might be a dinosarus, aka what happens when I don't know how to pose ;D

mmm...cupcake baking print. I wore this to a dentist appointment maybe not the tooth healthest theme! But i have awesome dentists and they liked it, and they had polish stuff that tasted like chocolate.

Just a face pic, from working on my halloween costume (I changed my mind already) you can only see the top edge but I'm wearing a zone front jacket (hand sewn, made of blue cotton velvet).

Polka dots and card suits, and my foster cat aphra

Gingham and nut brown, totally inspired by candyland (the nut brittle lady) but the old game design not the new one (the new one is not cute at all)

The deco on my finger brace is holding up really well, I kinda though it might get banged up to easily but all the stones are still attached and shiny :) Ok, a little oufit spam
This was from foing to lunch with a friend, we are trading lunches. I'm taking her to 'ethnic' places she has never tried and she is doing the same for me with 'american' ones. I had orange julius for the first time!

A little non-loli. Sorry my dress is super bunched on my purse, bad purse tights combo the fluff of the purse kept getting snagged on the lace tights.

From the local asian festival, one of the woman at a booth kept saying that I looked like lady gaga :0

And last from the celtic festival, I got hit on by a rugby player lol. i think I like green/purple better than green/pink it seems more spring-y

How to make donut lollipops

I don’t really measure that much with this recipe so it’s more about getting the right texture/fluff.
What you need:
Yeast (a bit under a tablespoon)
Water
Milk
Egg
Sugar (about ¼ cup)
Flour (about 2 ¼ cups)
Vanilla extract (just a touch)
Salt (just a touch)

Start with the yeast and a bit of sugar in warm water. Once the yeast has bloomed (aprx. 10min) add the rest of the sugar, the salt, vanilla extract, egg, flour, milk and water. Knead until all is well combined, cover with tea towel and let rise.

After about an hour (more if it’s cold less if it’s hot) roll out dough on floured surface and cut into circles. I’m using a glass for the outer circle and a bottle cap (from a jar of vanilla extract) for the inner. Continue until all the dough has been formed, then set to rise again for about ½ hour more

Now they are ready to fry, heat 2-4 inches of veggie oil in a stable bottomed pan (nobody wants grease burns). Slip them in gently and flip them after they go golden –repeat for the whole batch. After removing from the fryer, place them on absorbent surface (paper towel or plates or paper bags). Sorry the frying picture is so wonky.

Cinnamon topped donut

Powdered sugar topped donut

Now you have a couple of topping options (well more than just a couple but I’m only going into a few). Both powered sugar and cinnamon sugar can be applied easily just toss in a bowl once the oil has drained off. Both of those are very yummy but I’ll focus on the cutest option here.

Icing topping:
Powdered sugar
Vanilla
Tapioca starch
Food coloring
Chocolate
Pandan flavoring

The icing is a very simple powdered sugar type but I always like a bit of tapioca starch in it because it makes it cling better (I think). All of the colors and flavoring can be changed to your tastes also you could use white chocolate or those melting candy bits. For this the pink icing is vanilla, the green pandan, and with semi-sweet choco.

First you want to mix the powdered sugar starch food coloring and flavor together with enough water (or milk) to create a thick but flowing texture.

Dip each donut in icing and set to dry (if you want them with sprinkles add now).

To add drizzle type toppings place chocolate and a bit of milk in a bowl in the microwave for about 25-45 seconds and stir till smooth. Put your choco in a plastic baggie (or pastry bag) and snip off the bottom tip, squeezing from top drizzle over iced donuts.

Last is adding sticks to make them into lollis. You use several different things for sticks such as, trimmed skewers, real lollipop sticks (you can get them at baking and craft stores), heavy straws, or popsicle sticks. Gently push the stick into a side of the donut, if they seem too wobbly you can continue to insert through the center into the other part (the stick will be visible but it’s better than dropping a donut on your clothes.

And you done! Eat a few to celebrate :)

I find these hold up well to travel and store well for about 4 four days (much much better that dunkins or krispy kremes). Cute serving suggestions include filling a planter with floral foam and inserting the sticks so they look like little donut flowers, or you can individually wrap them in cellophane baggies like boutique lollipops.

Enjoy!

I’m kinda late to the game with this meme XD

I really am not very good at taking mirror shots, but I like this one because the flash sorta looks like butterfly wings lol :) Pretty henna I did on myself

and piano nail polish

I had the chance to henna at the local uni international fest. And managed to cut my finger really bad the night before, like 5 hours in the ER bad.

Me all loli-ed up and scrunched over hennaing I had like a line 10 people long the whole time.

Now just some simple OOTDs

I love old school black and white I feel so cliche when I wear it but I think I've watched to much kamikaze girls because I just love momoko in her bxw cord. Plus there are like no lolitas where I live so no one thinks it super ita or anything.

A little emikyu style, I love this fabric it has donuts and breakfast type things on it. Worn with my honey dipper necklace and bear bag. it was so warm that day i pushed up my sleeves in about three seconds.

Just a little try at some ullzang (sp?) type makeup from a tutorial on youtube,I lost the fold in one of my eyes (very weird but a hazard of being mixed i guess) so I tried eyelid glue on one eye lol. I really wanna try circle lenses, saw reviews for pink ones omg! cute-arific. Anyway more blurry self shots, its not my camera aand I suck at using it.


Photoshoot from my entry in the tokyo rebel photo contest, I knew I had like no chance of winning but it was still fun.

This was my entry

So I had no idea tea drinking is such a dangerous hobby, lol, I severed a tendon (and vein and some nerve stuff too) in my pinky when a teacup fell and cut my hand. Loli-est thing ever? Going to the ER frilly, managed to get blood all over my skirt yukky. But I decoed up my brace super super sparkly, its not just an injury its a fashion accessory XD
