Meet me beneath my balcony

Meet me beneath my balcony

You're in my stars you know 

Don't need no crystal ball to tell me so 

Whispering in the air 

Hoping that my words find you somewhere 

Even when I close my eyes 

I'll never recreate the Time that flies 

The consequence is hanging there 

The sky will fall but I don't care 

Meet me beneath my balcony and say 

No one but you could ever fill my night 

Be the sunlight in my every day 

Underneath my balcony I'll say 

No one but you could ever fill my night 

Be the sunlight in my every day 

Your love is haunting me 

And all I want is more to set me free 

Whispering in the air 

Hoping that my words find you somewhere 

Do you hear me call your name 

I know we will never be the same 

The consequence is hanging there 

The sky will fall but I don't care

Re-touch by Jari B. Miettinen and Eusku-Moth

Models Sargonnas and Serina

Lyrics are Emilie Autumn's Juliet

Clothes mostly Moi-même-Moitié/hand-made

We had planned this shoot for quite awhile so I'm very happy we were finally able to take it! The pictures were taken in Helsinki, at Kallio's church. By the way, the dresses are the same we wore last year's Tracon's  lolita fashion show I organized with Caramea! If you are interested to take a look at the video that was taken during the show, see it here:

 Sargonnas and I are the last models. I apologize for the horrible quality of the voice, but if I were to change the music YouTube would ban it 'cause I don't own the rights... xD

Thank you for taking a look~ 

Whisper of the heart

I went to see the movie Whisper of the heart with Mari and Momo. :) Film-theater Orion shows some Ghibli movies this summer so we thought that it would be nice to see some Ghibli we hadn't seen before. Unfortunately the movie was quite boring, even if it had some very beautiful scenes.

Dress of the day:

Dress. headdress, shoes, pendant: Moi-même-Moitié
Blouse: Alice and the Pirates

All of us:

It's already mid-summer... 

Happy Juhannus everyone! 

Dear Ophelia

Some time ago we took a photoshoot in Voimala, the museum of mechanics. The theme was supposed to be steampunk, but well... Everyone got a little carried away and we ended up looking quite original.

So this will be an epic picturespam... Hope you enjoy. :D

***

Dear Ophelia, I love you dear,

I'm sorry that I haven't been here. 

Dear Ophelia, you know I'm hurt, 

It's been two months since he was laid in the dirt. 

Dear Ophelia I'm sorry that I lied,

I really do mean to make you my bride 

When I get through this all, I'll treat you well, 

I'm sorry I'm making your life a hell. 

Dear Ophelia, your father thinks I'm mad

If the truth be known, I'm think he'd not be glad, 

If my dear Ophelia - we were to wed, 

And I took you to our wedding bed. 

Dear Ophelia I know that he is dead

But what he told me last night lays on me like lead 

In orchard he lay sleeping, that's why he didn't hear 

His brother crept up, and Poured poison in his ear

Thank you so much for watching.

Some shopping

Few days ago I met my friends, Inka and Momo. I hadn't been out in a while so it was nice to be able to get dressed up! Also, Inka and I chatted a lot while waiting for Momo at a coffeehouse.

Erika, a friend who lives in Japan at the moment, sent me a package containing Sex Pot Revenge's dress! I have wanted it for so long and I'm overjoyed that I finally received it! It's super cool!

I have to admit I have serious problems of coming up with coordinations for these kind of clothes.

It was like Inka and I had switched places as usually Inka wears more dark styled clothes and I prefer cute stuff.

Inka is wearing mostly Liz Lisa.

Momo was also so adorable in her normal styled clothes.

I'm trying so hard to look as cool as my dress. xD Someone has to teach me how to pose.

Also, I finally bought a umbrella that's big enough to keep me dry when wearing epic sized lolita hems!

The colour is light lilac! I love the umbrella's shape, it's very elegant. I bought it from Kasvihuoneilmiö, but I suppose that furnishing shop Day sells same kind of umbrellas.

Thanks for reading this post. :D

New nails and Moitié's ribbon!

I finally got new nails! :3 Aysha did very good job again.

The nails were painted light pink, then the tips were dipped to white glitter and the ring fingers have huge pink ribbons! These are a little shorter than the previous ones, so maybe this time I won't hit them everywhere...

Outfit of the day:

Didn't really bother with the make-up after 3 hours of sleep.

Dress: Innocent World
Blouse: Bodyline
Ribbon: Metamorphose
Socks: Chantilly
Shoes: Deary

My petticoat is showing. ò__o

I also wore Black Peace now's jacket and M&M's bag but I didn't realize to take a picture with them.

Today my order from Closet Child arrived! It's just Moitié's ribbon and a random bijou but I'm really happy I received them! They're so beautiful.

I seriously have no idea how to coordinate the ribbon. It's kind of strange shade of blue. xD

Thank you for reading this post!

Carnegie Art Award 2012 and the outfit of the day

Kävin katsastamassa Amos Andersonin taidemuseon uusimman näyttelyn, joka esitteli Carnegie Art Award 2012 teoksia. Näyttelyssä oli esillä pohjoismaalaisten taiteilijoiden teoksia ja ehdottomasti vaikuttavimpana olivat palkitun Heikki Marilan kukka-asetelmat!

I went to see Amos Anderson's art museum's exhibition of Carnegie Art Award 2012. The exhibition showed Nordic pieces of art, and the most stunning of them all was Heikki Marila's flower canvases.

Flowers XXVII

Flowers XXX

Flowers XXXII

Asetelmat on siis maalattu ekspressionistisesti, joka tarkoittaa taiteilijan tunteiden kuvaamista. Tyylisuunnassa maalataan sitä mitä tuntee, ei niinkään sitä minkä näkee. Tämä seikka ei kuitenkaan ollut se vaikuttavin, vaan teokset olivat yli kaksimetrisiä!!

The canvases have been painted expressionistic, which means that the pieces give out the emotion the artist feels when painting the model. That was not the most impressive thing in the paintings though, it was that they were over 2 meters tall!

Toinen aika huikaiseva taiteilija oli Ann Edholm.

Other very stunning artist was Ann Edholm.

Tongue at the tip/At the back of silence I

Tongue at the tip/Lamentate

En normaalisti oikein välitä näin pelkistetyn graafisesta jäljestä tai näin abstraktista taiteesta yleensäkään, mutta jotain vangitsevaa hänen teoksissaan oli.

I normally don't really care about this kind of overly graphic style, or abstract art generally, but there was just something amazing in Edholm's work.

Lisää tietoa palkituista taiteilijoista löytyy täältä.

You can find more about Carnegie Art Awards here.

Vaikutuin suuresti myös Jarmo Mäkilän teoksista. Teokset olivat saaneet inspiraatiota William Goldingsin Kärpästen herra -kirjasta, ja ne olivat suorastaan karmean vaikuttavia.

I also took great liking in Jarmo Mäkilä's art. The paintings were inspired by William Golding's Lord of the flies. They were very scary!

Suden hetki

Teoksien pinta oli muuten mieletön! Todella tekstuurinen ja kolmiulotteinen. Tuo minimaalinen kärpäsen kakka joka toimii blogissani esimerkkinä alkuperäiselle teokselle ei anna minkäänlaista oikeutta Mäkilälle!

The texture was brilliant! This picture I have here is a sad excuse of an example and doesn't show any gratitude when compared to the original one!

Taidemuseossa oli myös esillä Muutosten pyörteissä -näyttely, mutta suoraan sanottuna sen maalaustaiteellinen puoli ei vedonnut minuun mitenkään. Teokset olivat, valitettavaa kyllä, tylsiä. Sen sijaan näyttelyn kuvanveistopuoli oli päättänyt vakuuttaa minut!


The museum also had other exhibition, Art in transformation. To be blunt, I didn't like the paintings it had. I found them boring. But the sculptures on the other hand were fantastic!

Kimmo Pyykkö: Peiliin kirjoitettu

Suosittelen ehdottomasti käymään näyttelyssä, etenkin katsastamassa nuo Carnegie Art Awardin teokset!

I recommend you to visit the museum if you have the change!

Vielä asukuva:
