5th Int. Gyaru Lovers Winter Meet 2016

On 23rd January was the int. gyaru meet up in Frankfurt.
First we thought to participate in the same constellation as last year but in the end just Senja, Lau and I went to Frankfurt on Friday.
We had a single and a double room and I shared the double room with Senja. On Saturday morning we first had breakfast before we started to dress up.

Because Senja is the best hair dresser all over the world I was happy she did my hair again. She also helped Lau with her amazing hair style.

Senja is just amazing, isn't she? I loved my hair that day so much. Unfortunately the weather was against us >.<

ootd:

dress: Rienda

coat: Rienda

boots: Heather Bee

This time I tried a new style. I dressed up in Onee Gyaru look. I bought that look in December in Osaka very spontaneious and I never thought that it would suit me well but I really like it!
We met up 1 pm at the main station before we went to our location together.

While we waited for the others my girls and I did some selfies and tried Senja's selfie stick.

Before we entered the location we did some group pictures. Senja and I were hiding in the background *lol*.
The location was a karaoke bar. It was too dark to do some pictures and also while filling out the questionnaire for the different categories like best substyle, best hair, best nails and so on we walked around and tried to have a look at the others. It was funny.

Last year we were around 100 people but this time only around 40 participated. It was a little bit sad. And I really liked the location last time much more.
It was just too dark and noisy so it was hard to have a small talk or get to know the others. The washing room was the best meeting place. The light was awesome for pictures and there you met a lot of people for a talk.

The program during the day was great! Beside a para-para show there was also a raffle (I won a ring *yay*), the voting for Mr. and Mrs. Gyaru Lovers and bring & buy on stage.
It was funny 'cause Lau wanted to sell her Garula top and I was screaming 'cause Garula is/was my favorite brand so I had to buy it.

Lau didn't know that I would like to have it. So it was a funny situation. This is the last I will ever own of the brand Garula 'cause they closed in February *sigh*.
During the entertainment breaks we went outside a lot for smoking, talking and of course, we did some pictures there.

Lau ~ just awesome, isn't she?

The day was really nice. We ate big bad fat pizza and had a few beer. In the evening we started with karaoke.

To be honest I'm not that big fan of karaoke but it was funny. I sang some Wolfgang Petry songs and I don't know anymore what else xD
Then we went back to our hotel to fresh up and later on all wanted to meet again at main station for going to club but Senja, Lau and I wanted to eat something and got so tired that we just chilled at our hotel room before we fell asleep.

The next day we checked out at 11 am and spend the time at main station's Mc Donald's.

Senja and I

We had some coffee, talked a lot and met one of Senja's friends there (Mutsu) before we had to take our train back to Berlin.

It was a great weekend. I think last year's meet up was more exciting to me 'cause it was my first one and so many people were there but this time I really enjoyed spending time with my friends Lau and Senja and it was more relaxed.
Also it was nice to meet so many nice gals. Can't await the next meet up!

Bye!

International Gyaru Lovers Meet-up Frankfurt

キスミー!

End of January me and my friends participated at the big 'International Gyaru Lovers Meet-up' in Frankfurt.

We planned to go there a long time ago but unfortunately GooF became ill so it was only Mao, Senja, Hani, Lau and me from our circle who went to Frankfurt so we weren't complete *sigh*.

I wasn't sure what to wear until the day X but I knew that I wanted to have some blueish strands so I tried out hair chalk for the first time.
As you can see it worked very well but also my hands were blue after using *lol*.

Luckily Senja did my hair and I felt nostalgic 'cause she did it the last time for the An Café lives, ha ha.

Last minute I decided to wear that d.i.a. coord. I still like d.i.a. but in my opinion it's too much and I feel more comfy with a casual Garula look but hey, it was a meet-up so it was okay ^^

I shared the hostel room with Mao. She was an easygoing room mate and also did a d.i.a. coord that day.
Ready to go!

We all met at the main station in Frankfurt and went by tram to our guest location called 'Romanfabrik'.

I was really impressed 'cause I've never seen so many gals before at one place! There were people from different nations like Sweden, UK, Spain, Japan, Switzerland and lots of others. And all of them looked amazing!

When we arrived at the location we did first a group shot before we went in. I love that picture, I still can't believe that I was a part of that great meet-up.

First we had to introduce ourself on stage and told our favorite item we wear that day. As you can see Kukki is proud of her boots *lol*.

My beloved girls and I: Senja, Lau, Mao, myself and Hani. Nyappy! xD We had a seat in front of the stage. After the introduction there was some kind of gyaru contest (who has best coord in different styles, best hair and so on) and we had to fill out that questionnaire.
That was hard 'cause I can't remember all names of around 90 people x___X

Kitai and Kyo, the hosts of this event, did a great job on stage and they also organized a programm with sales fashion show, raffles and para para dancing (where our Hani took part).
Also there was a small bar and I felt great...until the beer was out of stock *sigh*.

It was such a nice day. I didn't talk to a lot of people inside but while smoking outside it was more easy to get to know each other, that was a funny fact.

After the main event was over in the late afternoon the girls and I went back to our hotel. We forgot to take our outfit street snap that day so before we changed clothes for the evening we did some kind of bad lighted floor snap xD

If you would like to see the floor snaps of the other Mojito member please take a look at our Mojito Facebook.

I switched from d.i.a. into Garula coord and felt much more better ^^
Then we went back to the main station 'cause it was time to meet again for karaoke.

Time was running fast and after 2 hours karaoke was over. The other gals wanted to meet again for going to club. Svea (Senja's cute and nice room mate) and also Lau joined but Hani, Mao, Senja and I ate pizza and went to bed 'cause we all were so done.

Next day Kukki, Lau and I went back to Berlin and we also had to say goodbye to Senja, Hani and Mao. It really was a great weekend. Hopefully next year again!
