Tokyo Pirates

The gothic section is definitely under-represented. They show only a tiny percentage of their stock online and not many people report on it (myself included, sorry!).

I’ve noticed that their stock turnover is much lower than regular lolita though. Although they have a lot of clothes, it’s often difficult to find the exact items/brand you’re looking for. I don’t see a large selection of MMM there. My theory is that it’s because it doesn’t go down in price much, so perhaps people try to sell via auctions or other means. I must admit I’m less experienced with the gothic side of lolita, but I’ll try to report on it more. :)

Erk! That’s a tough one. I guess I’d say Baby’s Secret Garden or A/P’s Elizabeth Bride of Death. Those are the ones that come to mind, but I’m probably forgetting like a million other series that would be hugely popular. >.<

Well, I was at the early bookings in Harajuku today, and it was a four-hour wait just to reserve, so chances don’t look good. On the other hand, there weren’t any limits today, so I think they may have a lot of stock for this in anticipation of it being popular. Because of that there’s a small chance, but I’m afraid I really can’t say for sure. Judging by its popularity today, I reckon that if you do try to get it next month your SS will need to be quick and you may not get your first choice. >.<

Hello, that’s totally fine. :D I very much doubt Sentimental Circus will be available though. It was really popular. If it is, then it’ll be snapped up immediately I reckon, so I wouldn’t hold out much hope.

Hello! My shopping service is for anything and everything as long as I can physically get it. :)

Are you kidding? I love these kinds of questions. :D

1) Tights, most definitely. I often find the patterns on tights are more creative, plus I hate hate hate the cold, so socks make me suffer in the winter.

2) Either Gloria or Treasure Hunt in the Mystic Island. :D

3) I agree with your Holy Lantern idea. That would be lovely. Hmm, I don’t think I have one for this. I’m usually pretty happy with the colours brought out and find they match the styles. I guess if I had to choose one it would be Treasure Hunt in green rather than blue.

4) I regret buying this - (http://lolibrary.org/apparel/side-drape-jsk). I liked the bottom, but the top makes me feel like a waiter. And I regret not buying Night Ship Alice JSK I in green. It’s so prettyyy. ;_;

5) Bats! Another nice idea. I second that. For me, I’m generally happy as long as there’s plenty of chocolate, treasure and pirates, but anything night sky related - stars, constellations, aurora borealis. I want romantic and sparkly! This recent JSK by Haenuli is gorgeous - http://www.facebook.com/haenuli.shin/posts/497453323705925

Thanks for the questions! Hope you have a nice day too!

Hmm, personal thoughts. (.﹒︣︿﹒︣.)

I like the colours. They remind me of Musee du Chocolat, very demure and chocolate-y (as you’d expect). I also like thick fabrics so that’s a point in its favour for sure. The swatches are thicker than Musee and go more towards Melty Royal Chocolate style, but with a different texture. The gold on brown looks amazing too. However, the cuts aren’t particularly interesting. It’s a shame they made only a couple of designs. I’m not taken with it personally. I would be tempted if the JSK was a different design.
