My First Sakura Matsuri | Cherry Blossom Love

I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather! I attended my first Sakura Matsuri at the Brooklyn Botanical garden with Tiffany. I only attended on Saturday, but next year depending on the events I would love to go both days. Geek Girl Brunch was holding a Lolita themed brunch where we brought on our food. The weather started out a little chilly, but gradually warmed up as the day went on.

I decided to spend the weekend with Tiffany. It's also nice to kick it with her and relax at her crib. We got up and helped each other get our coords on. For some reason I always hate pulling things like dresses and tight garments over my head lol It's like I'll always panic a tiny bit midway through like I'm gonna get stuck lmbo Been doing it since I was a kid lol Tiff always thinks it's funny because it's the second time she's seen me do it haha One day I'll master it!

Our journey was very interesting compared to the last time we wore Lolita together for the Novala Takemoto meet up at Baby. It was a lot more positive not that we cared either way haha A lot of people gave us nice compliments. I had a few older black women tell me they thought I looked really nice. We did receive interesting comments, too haha A guy asked if we were attending a tea party, a lady walked past us telling us we were in the Parasol Society. It's interesting having people talk about you when you're right in front of them. It's like uhhh I'm right here lol

We arrived right on time at 10 for the meet up. Geek Girl Brunch was giving away a few free tickets, and Tiff was able to win one :)

Tif's coord

I really love her Innocent World dress! I checked out there website and I love pretty much everything they have. I'm hoping to buy a dress from them to make a country Lolita coord with me being a Southern girl and all. I gotta represent!

My coord

It was the first time I wore my coord from my lucky pack from Baby. I like everything, but I'm not  a big fan of the blouse. I'll be looking for a new blouse at AnimeNEXT to replace it. I'm also hoping to buy a new dress while I'm there^^

20 Sided Brunch| Geek Girl Brunch NYC

Hey peeps, super happy that I have the day off today. I attended my second Geek Girl Brunch last month and had a great time. The brunch was a nice way to spend a rainy day. We met at The Uncommons which is a gaming cafe near Washington Square Park. I was excited to learn from their website that they host Friday Night Magic! We used what they call their private board room for the brunch.

 Their epic wall of games; the private room is thought that little door

I loved that they had a mix of traditional board and card games along with indie board/card games. They had a nice selection of Magic: The Gathering cards. They also have a full menu of food and drinks (including beer and wine). I decided to get a pepperoni personal pizza and it wasn't bad. There is a drink limit since the owner's want to have a family vibe in case parents want to come with their children. When I went it was only adults which was kinda refreshing because I didn't feel awkward. It's nice to know that there are other people that have nostalgia over playing board games.

 The other side of the cafe

Gameosity.com sponsored the event and let us try some of their games. The representatives from Gameosity were really nice. My table decided to play The Game of Life. I started off being a farmer and then switched to being a lawyer. I wish I could make as much money as some of the jobs in the game lol They were making bank!

I was shocked that I one of the raffles! I typically don't win any kind of contest or giveaway, so it was an awesome surprise. I won a board game called Avalon. I'm excited to play it when I get enough people since I love the King Arthur mythology.

Overall, I had a lot of fun and it was great finding a new place that I would love to take Boba to. I'm excited to attend their event this week at Sakura Matsuri. It will be Lolita themed which is awesome because I haven't worn my lucky pack from Baby the Stars Shine Bright^^ I'm so happy that I found this group because it has been so positive and a lot of fun! I still need to write about what I went through with them to get that coord. I have a blog post coming up talking about my experiences ordering from a few companies online. Tomorrow me and my friends'll be fighting Titans at an event called Escape the Walled City in Staten Island with Real Escape Games. Wish ya girl luck!

My First Geek Girl Brunch | The Ghibli Brunch

Hey honey babes! This week has been snowy and rainy, and I'm looking forward to warmer weather. Last Saturday I attended my first Geek Girl Brunch, and it was awesome! Geek Girl Brunch is a monthly themed brunch for ladies only, sorry boys. It started in NYC, but now has chapters all over the word. There's even a chapter in Germany! So if you're interested see if they have one near you. February's brunch was a Studio Ghibli themed brunch at a restaurant called Do Or Dine. I wore my Tee Fury Ghibli/Beatles tee; it was hiding from me for a few days, but I was able to find it. Please enjoy the food porn^^

I was surprised to learn when I arrived that the restaurant was closed and only open for us. It was nice having the place to ourselves. I thought that was amazing. I arrived with about three or four other ladies; the remaining ladies around a few minutes later. We ended up being a squad about 30 deep.
