A Late Overview of a CGL Meet-Up

Hello cuties! As you all will soon find out, I tend to be a terrible procrastinator. I think one reason I wanted to start this blog in the first place was to start a new habit with regularity (which has gone so well, so far, heh). In any case, I attended a meet-up with the Colorado Gothic & Lolita Society in early January (January 2nd, to be precise) called "Frillies At the Zoo!", my first meet up in proper Lolita (unlike what I wore to a meet-up I attended 4-5 years ago, mentioned in a previous post). It was held at the the Denver Zoo and included a walk through an event called "Zoo Lights" and a trip to a little cafe nearby. Let's get started!

The "About Me" Post

Hello Frillies! It has been a few months, so I figure it's time to update and finally get this blog going. I have been pretty busy with work and other things since January, including prepping for a move in mid-May. I've already talked about my history with Lolita, but before I get into some other posts I have been meaning to write for a while now, I wanted to tell you just a little more about myself.

I'm currently 25 years old, and a white cis-female. I grew up in upstate New York, and ended up moving to Denver, CO for school. I studied at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, majoring in 2-D Animation, and graduated in Spring 2011. I still currently live in Denver, CO, but I will be moving back to NYS in May to attend a certificate program in visual effects, and hopefully work for the company hosting the school's program after I finish it. Although I'll be keeping this pretty strictly a Lolita blog, I'm an avid Sailor Moon fan, and my other interests include astronomy, drawing and art (of course), anime and manga, sewing, fashion in general, internet culture, and social justice (if you are bothered by this, feel free to stay away from my blog, but again, I will be posting content primarily un-related to SJ here). On the other side of that coin, if you find something I post offensive, I encourage you to call me out on it so I can correct it. I want everyone to feel welcome on my blog.
