So, my goal for attending the first Lolita Fashion and Ball-Jointed Doll convention in the Seattle area was find a cute headdress to go with Danielle’s new Goth Loli outfit on her behalf since she couldn’t come down to the con. Maybe I’d take a few photos too, and I’d make a point to catch the DJ set once I found out my friend Panda was spinning, but I figured for the most part I’d be looking to kill time in Bellevue, since none of my friend could make it out (or so I thought.) So, after I bought a cute headdress to go with the outfit (a big ol’ bow,) I went down to Tully’s and started to browse feeds on my Google ION. Then, out of nowhere, my friend Ally turns up.
Turns out she was going to see Transformers 2 with her family, and well I had time to kill, so I saw Transformers with them. The movie was ok (Michael Bay needs to tighten his timing up, or Spielberg has to do it for him like he did for George Lucas on the original Indiana Jones movies,) but it was obvious to me at that point that I hadn’t got a real meal all day. So over to World Wrapps with Ally, then back over to InnoSera where she browsed the dealer’s room for a little bit, though she missed the Baby, The Stars Shine Bright room (not that the selection was too hot anyway – mostly Sweet Loli.)
Now, this would be where one might expect some denouement, but instead, we then head over to Ross and to Jo-Anns. She picks up some odds and ends for her Goth Loli outfit. Why you ask? Because later, we then head back to the con (Ally now decked out in con appropriate wear,) catch a band by the name of Kissing Violet, and catch Panda’s DJ set (where he made a point to point me out as a big name Nerdcore Rapper.)
It was not at all what I thought the day would be like; it was a whole lot more. Shoot, I even know for fact that Danielle’s outfit will fit and well because I saw people (who unlike the beautiful and svelt Danielle,) really make use of the pleating in the back of the outfit if you know what I mean (Gordo Lolita?) I just wish Ally and I could have wrangled more folks into the coming with since the day turned out so good. Maybe next year.
tl;dr: everything turned out better than expected.
