Hairstylin'

I know I said I wouldn't be doing too many hairstyles....  Lol.

Some days ago, my grandma wanted me to go shopping for a few things.
This hairstyle just kind of happened.  I was going to put it in a ponytail, and then, on the fly, I just decided to go with it.

So that's my excuse for why it doesn't look too great, lol.

July's Ageha and New Hime Inspiration

Sunday morning, I was in for a huge surprise!
Not only had Ageha come out, but....  There was a new model on the cover!

Who is she?
It looks like she's a completely new comer named Megu Fujigamori.

I don't think I've ever seen her in any other issue before, and I was under the impression that they usually start off as guest models before they gain enough popularity that she gets voted into being a featured model.  Where did she come from?

Maybe their most popular models just didn't want to be exclusive?

Anyway, how do I think she fared?
Meh....  I mean, it's not like I never noticed her, but nothing really wowed me besides her eyes.  They're just so big and round. It looks like her style isn't quite defined just yet.

Well, on to the rest of the magazine!

Never Have I Ever...

Since my debut, I've been paying more attention to everything pertaining to beauty.

I find myself saving more things on skin care and hair care, and even dieting (not that I need to lose weight, but I could stand to eat healthier).  It's like a little princess in my head found some secret room and switched on some 'health and beauty overdrive' button, lol.

I used to just read Ageha and Betty (and to a lesser extent Egg and Popteen) for the hairstyles and clothing, but now I'm paying attention to what they're saying about exercises and massages and things like that.  I knew my debut would mean something big, but I had no idea it would be like this.  I really hope this isn't a phase!

It's exciting, but also a little overwhelming.  There's a lot being presented to me.  What will work and what won't?  I may have found a nice combination that's helping my skin now (and seriously, I went from bumps everywhere to nothing in 2 weeks) but eventually my skin will get used to it and it won't be as effective anymore.  It'll be good to rotate different masks in and out to suit my needs.

Anyway, I tried a bouffant today!

DEBUT!!!

This entry was so many days in the making....  and then I didn't know how to proceed, so I got lazy, lol.  I'm so sorry!!

My debut was... pretty quiet, lol.  Because it was going to be hot and I was going to be out all day (and I was out from 10a until 2a the next day!), I didn't even get to wear the outfit I planned....  I hadn't actually planned on doing anything Saturday previously; I was going to get dressed up and go to the mall or something, lol.  But I hadn't seen Niki in months.  It was worth it!

Anyway, my debut has come and gone, and now I'm going to be trying harder to wear Hime things outside.


What does this debut mean for you guys?
Well for one, more public Hime-Gyaru attempt photos!  Now that I'm going to let myself be up for the public eye, I not only want this to show what I can do, but to learn from others as well.  Like I said before, I really wanted to get some kind of foundation first, before I started posting everywhere going "OMG LOOK @ MEEEE!"  I want people to know what I'm going for so they can help me better.

I've learned so much in these past few months, and while I'm still trying to figure out a lot of things, I'm so much better off than when I started.  Now I think I'm sure-footed enough to make my attempts public, or at least enough that I won't feel like such a failure if I've messed up a lot! 

Even though it's still so strange to be doing any of this, lol.

Now, it'll be a while before I can really do outfit photos.  Much of my money has gone towards necessities and food, lol....  So it'll mostly be makeup and (to a lesser extent) hair photos for a bit.


So, with that being said, here is my first serious attempt!
