cakes and socks

[aimeekitty]

QUESTION TIME!
If I make temporary tattoos, what would you like to see me do? I was thinking of doing cute little octopusses or a froufrou loligirl. :) They'd be a free thing.

onward....

I have long and non-skinny legs, so it's very hard for me to find knee socks that will work for me. I've tried a TON of brands from USA and Japan with little luck. (Sock Dreams being an exception. <3) Recently, I've had some good luck with metamorphose's OTKs. All of these in my photo worked. these, however didn't. I'm not really sure what the difference is. Basically, there's something about the intricate design on the non-working ones that is a harder stitch, which doesn't stretch as much. Ends up looking wierd.
BUT LA-DE-DA I have several that fit now!

I ATE THIS TODAY:
(well, not the plastic candy hair barrettes... the edible cakes are from JJ bakery)


I'll be going (in kimono) to this art opening this Saturday evening at the Kyoto Grand with the LA Kimono Club. I think I'll wear my galaxy summer kimono with my july kanzashi. Haven't had time to dress in kimono for a while. *___*

You know I totally vote for cute octopi :D

I have the same problem with socks -- the more intricate the pattern, the less stretch they tend to have. It's unfortunate, because I love fancy socks!

Glad you did find some that fit ^__^

Oh, they have some great socks at Sock Dreams.

The OTK socks from Japan actually fit my thin legs quite well, but the shipping costs are crazy. So I only have few that I got as part of a large order I did, or in my Lucky Pack.

I'm trying to remember if you're working on a cosplay of Sumire Haruno's trackmeet/pimp outfit because a link is getting passed around at work of a hot pink pimp suit for sale on Amazon that looks just like it.

I am, but I already bought a suit. :)
