Yama-Con, International Lolita Day
3b, once again, back in the building to post.
Over the weekend I attended Yamacon for the first time. The con is still fresh, for it is holding their second year. At first I wasn't so excited, but the price point and location was a very convincing factor for me. Add to that a lolita tea party, it made me want to go! Coord pics, right? Well... the thing is... I absolutely suck at getting my coords "full". The only coord I considered complete was probably the dandyish one, since I had everything, but socks and hats. Anyways, I was surprised I managed to pull something out, but in my opinion, I wished I had everything in white and gold. The black and gold version looks better in my opinion.
One thing that gets me about those pants... they are kind of see-through. I think I may need to wear some white boxers or something to help my thighs blend in. By the way, if you ever get bored on driving on the highways, TN seems to do a good job in keeping you alert with the dips, uphill battles, and many flirts with edges. I nearly died about twice because I was going to fast, even though I was braking constantly! Add some nasty rain to the drive and you a recipe for an Initial D movie.
I've arrived on a Saturday morning with a lot of energy and excitement. Unfortunately, I arrived too early, so I wasted part of morning do mundane stuff like getting an oil change and eating those many pancake places they had. In my honest opinion, they look like any other pancake place in the world, and I also got hashbrowns instead of those cakes made from the pan.
There wasn't much to do at Yama... well, at least in the morning. What did keep me interested was the retro games and Stepmania they offered. I also participated in the Nintendo World Championships. 3 games, 6 mins and 21 secs to get the high score in 3 games (Super Mario, Rad Racer, and Tetris). That was a pretty fun blast in the past. They also had stepmania with a homemade? hardpad.
Ate some gooood sushi. ALL YOU CAN EAT WITH 35 choices. They only offer by the rolls so you are literally stuck with eating 8 of the same thing until the next roll heh.
Sunday: The lolita tea party hosted by the East TN Lolitas! I wasn't able to talk to any of them cause I met with a lolita before the gathering and we had some fun and interesting conversations. She's a blast to talk with and I love her facial expressions for they make me crack up like a hyena. I thought the level of details on her outfit was amazing, especially the top wear. She also makes her stuff and her coord in my opinion, looked fabulous and would like to see more stuff from her. Another girl wearing a sailor lolita coord looked too cute (always had a thing for sailor outfits) and she was too fun to talk with at the party. Too bad she doesn't do FB often, because I would like to meetup with her again for she seemed like a fun person along with my other lolita friend. It's a shame because the next thing I knew, everyone was leaving cause the time was up!
I still need to get over my shyness... I think I'm making progress, but danggggg it's so difficult to go up to people when they are in groups. 1v1, I do perfectly fine.
Summary: Overall, the convention was pretty fun. Even though it was small, the events there offered some fun. Sometimes it got boring, then, it would get fun out of nowhere. I felt like it was worth the trip and give it good enough grade to call it a con and not a gathering. I think with more years, it will get more and more exciting. Add to that a reasonable price for lodging and location (Pidgeon Forge!) it will be a future convention I would go to again.

Steak, Eel+Salmon, and Salmon was some of the many selections.

Sailor Lolita. From the numerous categories of lolita, sailor is one of my favorite ones. We go a long way, sailor and I. Too cute >_>
This girl makes a lot of handmade stuff and is the CEO of her own company at a very young age. She gets mad props from me for being such a sweet and real person. I hope we can meet again!
Vest- Sixh
Shirt- Off brand
Shorts- Off brand
Ending it with my first punk coordinate. I think I may need something in the chest area to jazz it up. Now this raises the question, is this punk or is this boystyle? I often get confused as hell thinking about it and other combination of clothes I have. Help would be appreciated! T_T
Mr. Stylez has left the building.

OotD and Fashion Meetup
Been a while! I was invited to a male fashion group by a fellow lolita and was very interested. Seeing that my newly bought brand clothes needed a test drive, I said why not. A small and first meetup, it was going to be cold but I thought I could handle it. I almost turned into a Popsicle due to those damned shorts.
I saw some cool fashion like the Volante jackets sported by a couple of the guys at the meet. It looked pretty great, but I don't think it would fit me. Or maybe I haven't gotten to that fashion yet. I'm slowly building my boystyle wardrobe, but lack a lot of head wear and accessories. I lack a lot of socks too so I'm all depending on black colors.
Cookie meet-up should be the next event. Until next time, but for now, I'll be thawing out my thighs.
Pardon the crappy mirror shot. And horrible lighting.
Vest- Alice and the Pirates
Blouse- Alice and the Pirates

OotD and Sukoshicon
3b here. Blogging from the phone. Ill keep it short and sweet.
I didn't get to finish the ribbon pattern on the shirt and bought two spools of ribbon just in case I needed more ribbon. Im digging the double collar design along with the blue and black tones. The straps make a good finish and I love straps.
Sukoshicon review
Since I think the convention is still growing, I think it wasnt so bad in that aspect. I liked the venue and this place has so much potential. The bad thing imo, was the location. Off far away from downtown atlanta, transportation is difficult and it might have affected the total numbers.
The lack of a videogame room/arcade and interesting panels made this possible fun convention a lowered experience. Add to that a pricey ticket.
Tune in next time for the next outfit and outing.
Necklace- h.naoto
Shirt- Bodyline
Shorts- sixh

The beginning to a short blog, and possible rage quit!
Well, here goes nothing. My name is 3B and I mostly started this blog because I used to love writing and I feel like I'm losing my touch. Now I ain't no Hemmingway, but if I start to write about the things I am interested in, then I feel like I can express myself, since I roam around all day with a deadpan face. Add to the fact that I mainly use facebook as twitter, it's only reasonable that I write down my thoughts here. Fashion, food, and funk (I shoulda named this blog 3F instead) is the name of the game, with focus mainly on boystyle, sweet foods and drinks, and hip-hop dance.
My first paragraph definitely sucked. My thoughts seem to be jumping everywhere. Blogging is very hard when you haven't done it for quite a while. I guess for my first entry I'll talk about how I got into lolita. A family member (not mom or dad for sure) dressed up one day in some sweet looking threads that captured the essence of youth. Now clothing for men is usually lame and big since I have a skinny frame, but what he wore that day was absolutely amazing. I consider myself having a mild case of Peter Pan Syndrome and just amazed at the outfit.
Yummy, but not quite the same Peter Pan Syndrome.
I never really got to remember the outfit until AWA came and while I was on my rigid weight loss regiment, I discovered his outfit sitting all neat in the corner of the closet! Low and behold, I wasn't too big and I was able to fit in! A simple, but crappy intro, I think I'll stop here for now. With later posts, I hope my writing gets better along with the content.
