So uh, your Bibliotheca Blog Boss may have unintentionally taken the summer off. And also, like, Labor Day Weekend. (Listen, it was my nephew's birthday. I had to make him a Diver Dave dessert deal and stuff.) Here's posts from our bloggers from June, July, and August! We have some leftover bananas down below. And..
Please welcome our latest member of the blog beat, Rosiers Sauvages!
Ah yes, MOQs…
Remember kids: chiffon is a weave, and bananas are a fiber
Crimson Reflections
Leur Getter is definitely one of those perennially underrated brands in this Bay Area Kei member’s opinion
Okay, now I wanna make egg flowers though
Fun fact: my closet is full of items with minor damage like pulled threads, as that’s how you get the Dealz, Baby (sometimes)
Cupcakes & Unicorns
We here at Bay Area Kei always try to make themes as vague broad as possible!
Cupcake Kamisama: ‘arse out’ ≈ Purest Maiden: ‘ass-length dress’
Ah yes, the ol’ “waiting for someone to buy my stuff already” sitch
If you wanna know what it’s like to run an event like this, there’s also…you know…(gestures)
Limited Menu? A buffalo? Garf? Is this a secret code…
Who doesn’t like camp?
Fun fact: we always run out of plus size models! It’s uh, very stressful. We look forward to your applications.
Paging lolibrarians…
It took me a bit to grok Whering is an app…
Dearie Dawn
Mushi-pan is high tier snack food, clearly a lolita of taste
Fun fact: you can kinda still use a touchscreen with netted gloves
Hello Lizzie Bee
Fun fact: Kelp has a really consistent bird of paradise plant in her backyard that blooms every year!
(in Slightly Knowledgeable Mom voice) Oh, yes, the Space Marines…
It’s true - Bratz fashion holds up
Okay but real talk - would Sailor Mercury mesh with Cinamoroll?
Many years ago, I watched an entire documentary on Poundland, that focused on their production of knockoff Toblerone, called Twin Peaks? It has slightly less chocolate so the margins are better. My brain has held onto this knowledge.
Clotted cream AND a nap? Living in true luxury…
Okay but now ~I’m~ craving waffles…
Feel feel to browse, but don’t carouse- wait. Can you carouse virtually?
I Don't Know Much But I'm Learning
Remember kids - step one of Japanese alternative fashion is layering. (Usually. Exceptions apply.)
Josine Maaike
Oh, that VM dress! I wonder how heavy it is… (a similar skirt version I own weighs more than a large turkey leg).
Lovelylaceandlies
Kelp’s tip: no matter how much you attempt to put the fear of God into people, there will always be one person wearing non-sensible shoes to outdoor meetups.
It says a lot that the first thing I did was check Lolibrary to see if the official entry calls it “Dog Skirt”
Honestly, with Reiwa trends, brands are diverging from these more than ever. Remember kids - lolita fashion is punk!
Okay I totally thought this was a new joke name for the guy who owns the big e-commerce website. You know the one.
Took me a bit to get what Kei-Con was laying down pun-wise there…
Luna by the Lake with Cake
Fun fact: I cut my hair with fabric scissors
Congratulations!
Whomst amongst us doesn’t have a storage cube full of brand that they kinda forgot about- huh, oh, nothing.
Mahou Queen
Okay but maybe it’s for the best you haven’t run into the rock garden. I’ve heard things about those.
Rosiers Sauvages
Did you know: no one in the US dairy industry is producing double cream, even though they totally could, so that I could make proper clotted cream at home. A travesty.
Moral panics about modern youth are so reliably cyclical that you can find the same scandals about gals, lolitas, scene kids, etc.
For a trifecta of fun facts: count/mass distinctions are not 100% consistent across varieties of English, as well as...a lot of other stuff. Variation! The spice of life!
Okay but consider…sometimes we’re weird archivists…
And this is why we here at Bay Area Kei support stockists!
Being in this fashion does sure teach you a lot about the socioeconomics of people’s spending habits (even if you’re not a spreadsheet lolita)
Internet people using the word ‘discourse’ to mean ‘discussions on currently controversial topics’ means I can no longer tell people my research specialization without them laughing. Pour one out for all us Foucaldian scholars out there.
It’s true - Akira has been pretty cool for a while now. (Did you know there was a Popple called P.C., which stood for- sorry. Brainworms.)
Stephano
Real talk - is there less stuf in double stuf Oreos nowadays? Has someone looked into this.
Sweet Dreams
Yeah…a backlog…that’s um, hashtag relatable as the kids says…
Oh, one of these deals! Uh, what are they called here…our chair would know. I don’t leave the house.
Can you ever go wrong with animal print?
Wear Your Bows
Longtime readers know the drill - no clotted cream, no dice
No clotted cream AND scones polluted with blueberries? Clearly, we live in the bad place.
As a Sacramentan, this is…honestly still pretty far. But that is a good price!
