Never Before Seen! A fresh rap song written by yours truly~!

Hello my dears!

Recently I've started writing again. I used to write a lot, a LOT of poetry in high school, but after graduating and in all those next few years I completely stopped....the words just weren't coming to me anymore.
The music stopped.

A couple of months ago I wrote a pop song, which I think I'll share later, and a couple of weeks ago I wrote two rap songs! They're not your average gangsta sounding rap but....I was inspired by Iggy and Die Antwoord ^^;

Without further ado~ here is one of those songs! If anyone would like to drop some beats for it, let me know! Would love to collaborate! I imagine it as a slow/medium paced beat.

"Red Coupes"

Everybody be so quick to judge

They don’t stop to think

Their hardships cloudin they minds

Spilling liquor down the sink

I never said what wasn’t true

I put me all out bare

But bitches wanna talk talk talk

Its like no one fuckin cares

Hated school more than anything

All these basic bitches were so fake

Too absorbed in themselves

I could never even relate

Threatened me, hurt me, my insides

Got burned yo

But look at yall now

Same place you left off now

[Chorus]
Riding in his red coupe

Money easy, got that juice

No care for the past dues

I’m all over you

[x 2]

Closet full of pastel sweets
modesty brought me Lolita treats
chocolate prints and pink roses
society cryin like i be broken
Angelic Pretty BTSSB
All my favorites hang pretty for me
Do whatever makes you happy
you struggled for it so you can be

[chorus]

Mom and dad put in long hours
I worked my ass off to get through college
just to land a gig of a few more dollars
but now it’s all becoming clear
sparkling crystals on chandeliers
glitter be turning into gold
you can get it, girl
just gotta be bold

[chorus] [x2]

-End-

I know it's sort of cheesy but let me know what you thought! x3

Shopping is Love~ Hollister, Shiro Cosmetics, JillPunxLoli! + 1000 views Giveaway!!

Hello my dears!

I wrote a post earlier this month but as I did it on the Blogger app on my phone, the draft didn't get saved on the account and it refuses to publish anything when I include photos! Quite annoying.
Anyway, starting from scratch again!

Today my Hollister order arrived. They were having a sale again and shipping was free for orders over $50!

I haven't had a chance to try them all on yet, I'm sure they will fit fine, I just hope the Gilly Hicks bralette isn't too tight because I bought XS, and even though the bust measurement matches mine, I'm not sure if it'll feel comfortable after a while. Hopefully it will because it will look so cute under that crop top, which has a crochet design in the back and the bralette would show through :)

Shipping was kind of slow, I placed my order on 04/20. Perhaps that had to do with the Easter holiday xD

My order from JillPunxLoli on Ebay arrived as well, I purchased these Ank Rouge replicas.

Both are suspender skirts!

I thought the blouse was the same color as the beige skirt....but whatever. Buttons aren't missing.

 I'd say it's F21 quality. It's soft and undamaged, but as you can see, the fabric is coming through these seams here on the collar.

Also, on one skirt, they forgot to sew on a button, bu that's an easy fix, plus I don't plan on using the suspenders much anyway!

 Overall, I'm satisfied with the order. Both skirts are lined btw, and the fabric is NOT sheer at all. Print is clear as well. It all cost me about $66 with shipping!

Last but certainly not least, a friend on Facebook recommended Shiro Cosmetics to me, as they have many vegan shadows available. I have sensitive eyes and have found that UD shadow doesn't irritate them while anything that is Sephora or ELF quality does! So I bought a few samples.

Shiro was so nice, they included a little pack of SweetTarts! And they kindly included 2 free samples as well (the gold tone and aqua one at the top). The samples are very generous, and honestly the only reason I bought the samples rather than an actual tub is so that I can test it first to make sure my eyes are fine with it! Also, the black chapstick smells like chocolate and the brown one like caramel! yummmm!

Lovely service and company, would recommend them!

And noooowwwww *drumrollllll*

Days I get mail are the best! + Kawaii Gyaru Shop Review!

I haven't blogged about my recent purchases for a while! I got a couple new lolita dresses and such recently~

Chess Story Maracon et Mademoiselle chocolate OP, and White Moon JSK.

 Angelic Pretty Romantic Rose Letter skirt & headbow in mint

Bought it as soon as it came to the SF store :3
But I've sold the headbow just yesterday. I like it but the flaring ribbons are kind of too big and the rose looks sort of cheap. I don't know, I think it would look good over a wig but since I don't have full/thick hair, it looks rather large on my head!

 Hello Kitty Mon Amour Eyeshadow and Blush palette and coin purse (free gift)

Today I also received my order from Kawaii Gyaru Shop!

I bought this adorable Fairytale dress--and I really don't know why it keeps looking so yellowy in photos, it's actually a peachy-pink color in real life! Very soft and lovely!
I placed my order only to find out it was sold out, but luckily another came in from Japan the next day. It was shipped to me by the shop owner, Stephanie, on 04/02/14 and arrived today. I also got two cute free gifts--natural lower lashes and a cute HK lash case! :3

So ratings wise:
Communication: 5/5
Shipping time: 5/5
Packaging: 5/5
Item as Described: 5/5

Overall very good experience and great communication with the shop owner! I would recommend this shop and would buy from again! It has many affordable, new or like new Liz Lisa items ♥

Thanks for reading!! Tschüssssss ^.~

Sexism of Cartoon Network

Recently, whenever I watch CN at my boyfriend's house, it more and more dawns on me that every single cartoon show (over 60 shows according to CN website) on this channel lacks a female lead/main character (with the exception of Powerpuff Girls).

Some time ago, I came across this article:

http://jezebel.com/cartoon-network-cancelled-a-show-because-it-was-too-foc-1486443178/all

Where CN argues that shows get canceled because boys aren't buying the toys.

So, because boys aren't buying spinny tops when the shows are more female oriented, CN has decided to air shows with male lead characters. Ben 10. Adventure Time. Clarence. Uncle Grampa.

But if I'm not mistaken, most of the merchandise sales seem to be coming from non-boy-toy-merch such as apparel, accessories (wearable), DVDs, plushies, and other things to be seen at Hot Topic and that are advertised by the official Facebook pages for the respective shows.

It also occurs to be that, based on observation, it's mostly GIRLS buying this merch. Not boys. I literally see NO CN type toys at Target boys section in the toy department, except for Lego (legends of Chima) and some Marvel/DC characters. Even though Young Justice wasn't specifically female oriented, they still canceled it for the reason of low sales.

So the male oriented shows bring in sales from FEMALES yet female oriented shows are canceled or not even given a chance because, you know, girls don't buy toys, and boys do and boys don't watch those shows.

I think this whole argument is simply nonsense, and nothing but excuses.
Yes, girls don't buy the toys, because girls like other types of merchandise! So what is so difficult about making more female-lead shows? Boys may not buy anything--but girls will! And boys may as well buy-look at what happened with MLP:FIM!


There is literally one male main character in the show yet it spawned bronies.

Well anyway, I'm convinced that CN is lead by sexist old men. It's incredibly weird and unfair that every single show, except one that came out over a decade ago, is about one or two main male characters.

This is the 21st century, it's 2014 for crying out loud. Over the top girly shows aren't needed but what if "Fiona and Cake" WAS the main show and Finn& Jake were the spinoff characters instead? I'd watch the hell out of that.

CN really needs to stop making excuses and start actually airing good shows with clever content, with lead female characters, and not airing idiotic shows like Clarence and Uncle Grampa. 

Valentine's/Bday!

So since my bday is just 2 days before, normally I'd get valentine's gifts as bday gifts. My bf and I would go out or something. But this year, since we already ate out on my bday and we'll be having a dinner with my friends this evening, we decided to skip on going out last night! We still cuddled and watched some TV before I left, I had to get home early to see my bday dress and to dye my hair! Valentine's Day isn't something we really celebrate, it's always quite crowded in restaurants and theaters so we're better off staying home!

Anyway, on Wednesday my boo and I went to Mitsuwa Marketplace in Arlington heights and we had a good time! I got some plushies from the Kinokuniya store and we got pastries and sweets!!
I've removed photos from my phone so I'll have to post them when I get home.

I'm pretty excited for tonight, I hope to make an updated post tomorrow!
