Marble Wonderland Fashion Show

Hello~

I am back to blog about AFA Marble Wonderland Fashion Show! Let me start by showing you my Tokyo Kawaii style dress...

I'm so in love with those butterfly wings (´∀｀)♡~!!!

とてもきれいです!!

Besides the beautiful outfit, they even offered me two pairs of Vanity brown monthly colored  lens from Japan - one to be worn for the show, and another as a gift! That's so generous of them ヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ!!

 Being the Number 1 best selling colored lens in Japan, Vanity brown is one of the most pretty and comfortable lens I ever owned. That's explain why it's highly popular among many famous Japanese models and celebrities. But sadly, I think it's only sold in Japan o(´^｀)o. Why must all good things only be made available in Japan TT___TT ?!! 

However, you can visit their official website for more information about the Vanity brown lens that I'm wearing.

Here's my final look after changing into the outfit: 

I'm so ready for the fashion show \(//∇//)\!!

But before that, here's some photos taken with the other models and staffs backstage!

Her Fig&Viper style is so cool (ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ!!

Thanks babe for sending me all the lovely photos ❤~!!

Miho-san, from Twin Planet, holding onto my pass (　・∀・）~! 

Thank you for having me in the show and all the assistance that you have given us backstage. 

I had a great time chatting with you!! 

Hope to see you again in Japan!

The director of Sozo and producer of MMK, Jim~! He's the success behind AFA, and a friend whom I have known for a long time (＾▽＾). Thank you for making AFA better year after year, and for having me to be a part of your great event~! 

Finally, I'll proceed to the fashion show stage~!! 

It's a pity I didn't get to watch the performance (and I regret forgetting to take photos with Alodia and Hiraki as I was in a hurry to go off) T_T, therefore, please note that all photos below are credited to their respective owners.

Everyone is saying THANK YOU~ ヽ(∀゜ )人( ゜∀)ノ!!!

I'm truly blessed with the great experience that was given to me ~!

The Fashion show was a BIG success!!

うれしいな~!!

Whether you agree with me or not, Japanese people are really wonderful to work with. They are not only amazingly friendly and polite, they also show no sign of arrogance, and are really efficient with whatever that's needed to be done. Let's not forget, they will help you without complaining too ^^. Therefore, I have always enjoyed working with them. 

And to the organizers of Sozo and Twin Planet, once again, I will like to thank you for giving me this golden opportunity (/^▽^)/!! 

ありがとうございました~!!

For now, it's a goodbye to AFA 2013~!! 

I will see you again next year (≧∇≦)/!!

Rehearsal Day - AFA Marble Wonderland 2013

Hello~

As some of you might know, I was very lucky to get selected to participant in this year Afa Marble Wonderland Fashion Show as one of the models (●´∀｀●). So, we were asked to meet up at the Asia Kawaii Way booth a day before Afa for rehearsal.

This is how the booth looked like after set up. 

かわいいでしょ ヾ(☆▽☆)??

They sold a wide variety of Japanese make-up products like Dollywink, Priscilla Wigs and many more~

Then we were given our AFA access pass...

The pass is super cool!!

With it, we got full access around AFA anywhere and any time like a boss (/^▽^)/ !! Hehe!!

Sneak peak of the stage that we will be performing.

They were in the process of setting it up back then (￣▽￣)ノ .

Backstage, they showed us to our outfits for fitting...

This is how the outfit chart looks like for the planning of looks for each models...

Can you spot me (　ﾟзﾟ)? 

After I was done with the fitting of my assigned outfit, which I will show you in my next post, it's time to do my hair~!

Yeah~!
They gave me a lavender colored wig!!
It's such a lovely color  (⌒▽⌒)...

Sneak peak of how the wig looks on me...
I really like the wig a lot! The hairstylist cut and styled it to make it looked so lovely (ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ ~ Though I like to see girls with lightt hair color, I am never a fan of having brightly colored hair on myself as I don't think I can carry it well ( *___*).

Still, I did try my best for the show!!
I was allocated to the Tokyo Kawaii stage, and most of the models on that theme were given pretty gloves, wands, headbands, and a beautiful pair of WINGS ヽ(*≧▽≦)ノ~!! Yes!! WINGS!!! I didn't think that I will be given wings for the show and I was so happy when they gave me one as it reminded me of the prestigious Victoria Secrets fashion show. それはとてもすごいね~!! However, ours are a lot smaller yet way more adorable as compared to VS. I still love those wings nevertheless (´∀｀)♡!!




While waiting for our rehearsal to begin, I took many photos with the other SG models that were selected for Marble.

The very pretty Reiee who was on stage for the Shibuya Style~

She looks like a Korean model huh (~￣▽￣)~? I think she's the kind of model who can wear any clothes and make them look chic! On the side note, she likes to take self-shots of herself with my costume accessories like my yellow gloves, wand, and headband o(≧o≦)o. So, whenever I couldn't find one of my gloves, I knew who to look for hurrr~...

Here's the forever cool-looking Slaye Doll who was assigned to the Harajuku Sea Punk Style!! I only manage to show you guys one photo with her because the rest of the photos we took together were somehow blurry that day (っ﹏-) . This girl actually looks really sweet when she smiles despite her cool appearance. Should smile more huh (*≧▽≦)ﾉ~!!

Lastly, the 'I-am-so-kawaii', Vivian-chan (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ!!

She really got that baby girl face that always make me go "awww~ she's so cute~", which we didn't understand why they put her on the FIG&VIPER theme. We agreed that Vivian and Slaye Doll should exchange roles but sadly, that didn't happen lol. Nevertheless, she still tried her best to appear fierce on the show
 . Good job, girl~  ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ!!




Immediately after my rehearsal, I met up with my dear who waited for me for more than an hour after his work ('∀'●)♡.

We had a quick bite at PapaRich as I was feeling very hungry after all the fitting and walking~

My very yummy honey toast~!!

And his sweet icy dessert (*≧▽≦)...


But the dessert is not as sweet as him ლ(´ڡ`ლ)... 
See what he bought for me while he was waiting~!!

⇩

かわいいでしょ ＼（＠￣∇￣＠）／??!!
What a cuteeeee~ blanket nehh~!!! It's really comfortable and warm too!! I get cold pretty easily whenever I am at home using my laptop which is why he got this for me. So thoughtful of him huh o(≧∇≦o)?  Even though I wouldn't have allowed him to buy it if I were there with him as the blanket cost $30! To me, it's too pricey for a small blanket, but he never listens, and always spoiling me with cute gifts like this ≧△≦ ~ 


Anyway, I will post the next AFA Marble Wonderland Fashion Show shortly  (I hope) with more photo of the event and Japanese models~!!

♔ Thanks for reading and see you ♔
