 |
| There was this girl. She always wear a long dress with a teddy bear in her hand |
 |

 |
| And she never let go of the only bear she has |
 |

 |
| That's what love means to this girl And perhaps to everyone in this world Hold it forever Don't let go..... |
This is my new experiment, extreme make up change, ugly-pretty kind of picture. I don't know if it's good enough, but I think it tells the story of an ugly-pretty little girl. The pictures quality are not the best, because I only used low light mode from a digital pocket camera with not enough natural light to hit the face and a tripod. So I used a little help from photo editor program to make it like these. The make up I used was a daily type of make up but I applied it harder. And it was even harder to make the face and make up look stronger because I didn't use any additional lighting. Also I don't have anyone to be my model, so I had to use my self for an experiment. I hope you like it although I'm far from a model type :p
I never learn about photograph, I just recently watched many photographers worked in ANTM with their best shots and they inspired me. I really am sorry if my work is hurting any of you. Well, this is just an art, and art means freedom. Enjoy.
Please don't think about the face, just tell me what do you think about the whole concept?
So, which one is the best picture that tells the girl's story?? Pick a favorite and leave a comment please!
Hey! How r u? Thanks for noticing my new post.
Today I'd like to show you my latest creation. My NEW costume :)
Last Saturday (October 16), I got a chance to perform a dance with my dance team (which was newly formed, and this day was our debut). We got a chance to entertain the participants of National Medical Challenge (NMC) on the closing party. The theme of the party was "Gorgeus and Glamour". When I heard that word for the first time, I thought only two colors, black and gold to represent both "gorgeous" and "glamour". But as Indonesian, I thik batik is the perfect symbol to represent "Gorgeus and Glamour". Therefore, my teammates and I decided to choose the color black, gold, and batik as the "main course" of our costumes.
at first I was confused about how to make these fabrics look gorgeous and glamorous. absolutely no idea. Then I watched a Japanese movie titled Crows Zero (taken from anime with the same tittle, played by famous Japanese Idol--Oguri Shun), which tells about delinquents at a Japan all-boys high school who always got involved in fights. Among those students in the movie there was no single student who wear a standard uniform (Japanese highschool uniform is called GAKURAN. It looks like a Japanese army uniform at the second world war. Or the Japanese naval uniforms in earlier times - if I'm not mistaken . To know more about Gakuran history, you can see in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_school_uniform)Now, try to compare the original Gakuran with the movie's version. The version in the film seems more fascinating, isn't it? According to me and some friends, the movie's version of gakuran is more like Beskap (traditional dress in Java for men).
 |
| original Gakuran |
 |
| Genji Takiya (Oguri Shun) |
 |
| Genji Takiya- Crows Zero Comic |
 |
| Beskap of Central Java |
Gakuran in the movie's version seems shorter (the belt can be seen). And the front shape of gakuran was longer than the back. It is the same with Beskap (you can search it on your search engine).
I really inspired with both beskap and gakuran. And I really amazed with the belt shown. So I thought to combine this beskap/gakuran style, with good belt. I really want to copy a little style from a dance team I love the most,the Beatfreaks. Just look at the picture on this left. You know what I mean right? Gold belt and gold chain.
So I made this style, the original style I wore on the stage that night
If you look closer on the clothes, you will find that I tried my best to implicate beskap/ gakuran.
and the gold belt too (Actually it's not a real gold belt. I just wrapped my belt with a gold fabric--because my budget is so limited)
If you look at the back, actually it's shorter than the front. just like Genji Takiya's Gakuran/ beskap. Unfotunately, I forgot to take my back's picture.
Nothin special.
For the makeup, I only applied two colors, gold and black (again), a little white eyeliner, and --of course-- a lot of glitter.
I really impressed with my work. I know it's far from perfection. But I really put a good effort in it. I made this dress for 3 hours. Just 3 hours. So I really proud of my work :) LOVE IT!
Thanks for reading my post! Leave comment, please :)
Back again!
After a long season, now I'm back with more "passion", especially for ANIMALPRINT style! I don't care if this is "off-season" or "old-fashion", some fashion blogger said that to write a fashion blog you don't have to be updated. You just need to put everything you like, write everything you like, and show anything you like. As long as you put your heart into it, everybody will simply love it.
So this is all about a cloth that I found in my sister's closet. It was an old cloth. My sister was about to throw that cloth away but then I asked her to give it to me.
The cloth material is tight and elastic.with turtleneck and half-arm sleeves.
I remember this cloth was given to my sister about 1-2 years ago. So you must think that it is old-fashion--far off the season. But this cloth just gave me a lot of ideas. Here the ideas:
I really love the animalprint on my body!! I combined with my own creation--the black skirt, black gloves, and fishnet in my head (just for accessories). I didn't put any make up (because I run out of eyeliner). But I think smokey eyes will suit best. For shoes, I was wearing black wedges with open toe (but maybe it works best with black stilettos). Sometimes I put black legging under my skirt because my leg is not "beautiful" at all.
So, what do you think? Still, the animalprint really amazes me......
What d'ya think? This is a really serious type. Like a killer-teacher, right? But still it looks sweet too.
I combined the animalprint cloth with a dress (that's original from me), and (again) legging and black-open toe wedges (black jeans works best than legging). But a longer dress seems work best. If you want to look simple, I guess this is a good option to make the animalprint look less.
THIRD
I want more casual wear. So I decide not to "wear" the cloth, but to "put" the cloth around my neck like an accessories.
and here is my best shot:
I really like it. Simple but still-->animalprint fever!! Next thing I want to do is to buy an animalprint scarf!!
Next, I just want to wear something in my head, so, voila!
Well, I hope you like this post, and please leave comments. Anyway, sorry for my bad English, but enjoy!

FIRST
I want a CRAZY-LOOK, a 'lil bit Asian taste (you'll find a lot of Asian who dress with animalprint pattern), I want to look like Asian idol (I think I watch too much Korean and Japanese drama --;)

Now I wanna look like a little bit serious and elegant

I guess I just want to taste a little bit winter season because we have no winter here. Although the combination between clothes, scarf and hat is a mess, but still, I like it. It's the same when you see Harajuku style which in fact so tacky and messy, but the public loves it anyway.
Well, I hope you like this post, and please leave comments. Anyway, sorry for my bad English, but enjoy!
XOXO
Hi! I'm back!
Now I'm back with just a simple experiment. This is a fashion experiment. I want to give a little touch for my old cardigan so it will look a lil' different. So, I'm using my old cardigan to create two different styles.
.jpg)
I picked my gray fedora, layered necklace, black tights, and black scarf. I think they make a good combination with my gray cardigan.
I mixed them into two styles:
And this is the first
.jpg)
I use the black scarf as a bandana on my head. Then I use my old and long cardigan, with a slight fold at 
the waist area. Do I look like using a mini skirt? I want to give the impression that I'm using a mini skirt and rather long shirt.
I added also a few accessories like the bracelets - though it feels less suitable (-.-)
I think it looks casual.
Let's go to the some events!
The second is:
THIS!
This one looks more feminine. I no longer fold the waist area. I let the cardigan extends as long as possible. Then I used my black scarf as a belt, to give the impression of a slender shape (^.^). Next I used my gray fedora and still wearing my originally-made layered necklaces and my "less-suited" bracelets. (^_^)
Do I look like a Jazz musician? I really want to play a great music on great stage with this clothing style. But of course with a touch of make-up and accessories which are more "extraordinary" than this (^.^)
I didn't apply any make up on this photo except lipstick.
And FYI, the layered necklace is originally made by me. That necklace doesn't have any detail except for the different size of the chain--which you can not see here. That necklace is still unfinished. I'm planning to add some detail on the necklace but I just don't have time. I'm using a burned copper color necklace. It is --again--"less suitable". I know.
Well, this is just an experiment. I know it doesn't look really amazing or incredible or anything. But I hope this experiment inspires you. You still can give a "touch" to your old clothing. You don't have to spent your money, you still can use the old stuffs. So, don't wait, try on!
P.S:
if you interested on my layered necklace, you can contact me by e-mail :) Maybe I can create it for you

Lately, I'm really interested in Visual Kei (mau tau ceritanya kenapa? cek blog pribadiku, posting yg kemaren ttg japfest di SMA7). It leads me to do an experiment with my own face.
First, lets see the real visual Kei
taken from google.
i really like the blonde.
then I tried to search on google about the Visual Kei make up tutorial. And I found some. really satisfying.
taken from: jrockrae.wordpress.com
There are still a bunch of web pages about how to do this make up step by step. check on google (keyword: Visual kei make up tutorial)
So, I tried it on my own face. and there you go!
scary, huh??
(ini soundtracknya fotoku, denger deh..)
but it also cute!
The rule of visual kei:
1. Pale look
2. very dark smokey eyes
3. rambut kesana kemari
4. hair extended
5. dyed hair
6. scary
(sayangnya hasil polesan tanganku gag sebagus itu)
I made some mistake here:
1. I don't have any eye concealer.
2. I don't have any black eyeshadow
3. I made a mistake when I put my white eyeshadow
4. I don't have any extension hair and I didn't dye my hair.
5. I forgot to put on mascara
that's why this looks simple. I used the eyeliner too much (Sebagian eyelinernya bahkan malah kehapus). I forgot to put on mascara.
but, this is pale enough i think.
but anyway, this was satisfying for me. Some of my friends said that it was scary enough. Nice shot. And I will do the 2nd attempt soon after i get the black eyeshadow.
you can try it at home! if you are great, maybe you can be like this:
FYI: this picture is male!
well,,, i have to learn more about this before doing my 2nd attempt..
enjoy!
