Baby The Stars Shine Bright/Alice and The Pirates designer signing @ Tokyo Rebel in NYC!

For those of you in NYC that are absolutely in love with Baby, The Stars Shine Bright and Alice and The Pirates, well this is you chance to meet the designers in person!!! As blogged by the store Tokyo Rebel themselves, The only Lolita fashion store in NYC located in the Lower East Side has opened its emails (starting July 23rd at noon) to the first 90 people to RSVP! But dont bother with the +1 unless you're bringing you mom, sister, dad, granny.. because they are limiting it to family +1 only.. no friend +1 alowed! Even though I feel that's kinda lame, I understand its because of the small space of the floor, but i dont think that's a reason to limit between fam and friends.. :(

Opening a fashion boutique is a lifelong dream of mine.. Even when I was younger and wasnt really thinking of fashion from a sellers point of view, I've always sketched out little event spaces, stores, amusement parks..even future homes that I'd love to own. (This is probably why I'm completely addicted to The Sims! And not that I'm not addicted to it enough, but they are about to launch The Sims Social game on Facebook! Its kinda like Yoville, but with better graphics and the same nautiness as the PC game..) Even though I've always felt a bit silly for drawing up these things that I'd most likely never be able to afford or successfully launch, it just seemed that these ideas were etched in the stars for me. I even took a course in Theatre Set Design, hoping I could possibly upgrade to actual architecture courses... but the Math classes always turned me off from that (#____#;;)

Maybe one day I will muster up enough courage to actually show these plans to you all, or they may collect dust in their notebooks for eternity.... one day...... *le sigh* ...we will see..

I'm back from a brief hiatis from the blogging world. It was a short run brought on by..well, work. That's right. This Lolita is no longer 'laid off'.. Well, not much different though because as a non-union freelancer, my job can go at any moment with no safety net (or health insurance for that matter).. but i'm glad to be back!
While I was away, I did however manage to succeed in growing my Pammy Cakes line.. I suppose I've been much harder on myself than I thought, because in perspective I managed to have more than a dozen items avaialble for purchase at my own web address: PammyCakesBoutique.com.. A feat I never thought could happen, but little by little I'm trying to keep it going. For now I've hit a bit of a lazy brick wall. Summer is here and I'm anticipating Autumn/Winter 2011, but at the same time not trying to stress myself out so I can enjoy the fruits of the NYC life.. For the first time in my life money isnt a HUGE issue! I mean, I still have my moments here and there where I need to watch my budget, but this will be the first time I'm not on a steady diet of Dollar Menu items and ramen.. :D

That being said, I want to devote more time.. i mean reeeaally devote time to developing my company through getting more involved with the Lolita community. Perhaps this is what I really need than to just try to crank out half-witted merch just because i know i should be working, u know? So instead of coming back here ever so often to show you a new item I've managed to think up, I'll be leaving reviews of some kawaii blogs, Lolita-worthy shops (NYC/NJ area), and whatever awesomeness that will come out of that.. Until then, I will leave you with a few images of what I have up i my shop at PammyCakesBoutique.com



















Sorry for all the website being repeated over and over.. These images were used as promo each time a new item came out on my site. There will definately be more cuteness to come in the near future!
Until then...
