Hey my peoples I been working with LilHevn, a Gothic and Sweet Lolita designer here in NYC. We collaborated on a cos-play lolita outfit for this Halloween. I was interviewed by Time Out NY. The article is about the Lolita scene and culture here in the US focusing on New York. Besides interview material my picture is featured in the article as well.
You can read the article online at http://www. timeout. com/newyork/articles/i-new-york/68741/lolita-fashion and you can also pick it up in hard copy in this weeks issue of Time Out NY! Look out for page 8.


Big thanks to my designer LilHevn her myspace is myspace. com/LilHevnshop check her out! Get to her before she blows the hell up!
and I can't forget my photographer pal William he could be found on model mayhem.

I was interviewed recently by Time Out New York for an article on Lolita fashion and culture. My lolita persona is Chu Chu Bubblegum. She's my way of giving homage to all those bubbly girls from "Ecchi" Anime that love showering their male/female conterparts with overt displays of affection!

On this shoot I worked with
LilHevn, designer of Cosplay, Gothic and Sweet Lolita. She's an awesome person to work with and totally understands Japanese Culture and Lolita Lifestyle. I've met many people into Japanese culture and fashion but this lady takes the cake. She taught me a lot about Ganguro and lolita. I thank her for it, lol! I have a new appreciation for lolita in general and my fellow Akibara/ Harajuku people!

William R. Macleod was the fashion photographer for this shoot. He is the Mcgyver of photography! Totally a blast to work with and his skills with a camera are so good it's a sin!

If you'd like to see the photos from the Chu Chu BubbleGum shoot, they are in my
Work Photos Album! I'll keep you all posted on when the issue gets released!

Morpheus, who can be reached at nycaltevents2@gmail.com, has sent this message around.
I figure someone in my group of friends here should be able to help - Captain Z

Help Reporter with Story: One of my contacts at TimeOut Magazine needs help with a couple of stories, so if anyone can help please email me and I will forward your email and the information you send me.


The story this time is on the rise of Lolita fashion and subculture in NYC. This import from Japan's Harajuku street scene is a mixture of Goth and Victorian girlishness.


The Times recently did a story on it with some great images to showcase the trend:
New York Times Lolita interactive article

What I need to research is how strong the subculture is in NYC, so if you know of anyone who is part of the scene or has friends in the scene, pls let me know.


Also, I need to find stores in NYC/Brooklyn that carry Lolita fashion. If any of you have leads, that would be great.


Lastly, I want to correlate the youth subculture with trends in high fashion, so if you can think of any recent collections or designers that pop to mind as having shown fashions that have a Lolita edge that would rock.


And finally, I also need to talk about the scene from a cross-dressing perspective.

This is a chance for people to hear about us and our fashion. Get on the ball and talk to this person! ^_^

Love and Lollies,
GeishaVi

I got this from my friend Paul Dateh...



Every vote counts! Sadly, statistics show Asian Pacific Islander Americans have the lowest rates of voter participation among all ethnic groups, and Asian American women have the lowest rates of voter participation among all groups, with less than one quarter of eligible voters actually registering to vote. While there may be many cultural reasons behind the dismal numbers, APATHY is our worst enemy.


As an Asian Pacific Islander American, your right to vote is one of the most valuable rights you will ever have. The freedom to choose the direction of a nation is a powerful and liberating force. We need to start talking about voter participation in the APIA community, challenge ourselves to become civically engaged, empower ourselves with knowledge of the candidates, and ultimately, have a voice in where we believe this country should be headed.


For more information, check out http://www. sdaff. org/reelinthevote. php

Repost this bulletin! And make sure to vote in November!
