Event Report: Lolita Kawaii Weekend (better late than never)

Last saturday there was a Lolita event in the Netherlands. You could choose to go to saturday or sunday, or the whole weekend. On saturday there was a teaparty and an afterparty, and on sunday there was a picknick and tour through a castle planned. I only went to the teaparty.

So, after two hours traveling by train, I arrived at Utrecht Centraal in the Netherlands at our meating place. I was early, so there weren't many Lolita's yet, but soon there were a lot! And with such a big group of strangly dressed girls, we were the centre of attention for many other travelers. People took pictures and asked us questions ofcourse. There was even a man who probably wasn't completely sane who sang a random song for us (he couldn't sing at all and it was kinda creepy, but you could also view this as flattering, haha!).

Then, when everybody was there, we headed for the teaparty location, which was at a hotel with lots of rooms suitable for dinner parties and such. We were lucky to get one of the rooms, as it normally wasn't rented to private parties.

First, we had to register and we got a name tag in the shape of a heart. then, after everybody had registered, we went to the actual teaparty room. After we sat down, Misako and RinRin arrived and introduced themselves with some pictures. Then we got to get some of the food available (I loved the macarons and the little sandwiches). Then we had to fill in the bingo card with some of the names of the participants.

it was supposed to be a crab?

Halfway the party we got a cute little piece of mochi in the shape of animals from the Japanese staff. Mine got a few dents, but still edible. It was quite a strange taste and structure. Then we continued with the bingo. I won something! I was quite happy, though nothing of the items were to my taste. But it was still fun!

Heart E OTK, Baby hairtie, Hart E melody hairties, cherry hair clip, pink music note ring and a Hello Kitty eyemask.

Then we got to take pictures with Misako and RinRin and chat with them. It was so much fun and so pretty! There were two girls at out table who wore the same AP print in the same color, only in a different version.
