My Heart buckle shoes and Gothic Lolita Bibles arrived today, giving me the opportunity for a lovely morning stroll to the post office to pick them up. The shoes were from Valli-sama, they’re even more beautiful in person and quite comfortable and snug! I can’t wait to wear them out 
I have been flipping through the Gothic Lolita Bibles, and I must say vol. 23 is one of my favourites yet. The Macoto calendar included is just beautiful and I love the fairy tale theme of the issue, I think I might have to try the snow white make-up tutorial, its very cute! 
The other issue is not quite as nice, but still interesting. The Marie antoinette OP is in there, but not in a beautiful photoshoot as I had hoped. I’m looking forward to the next issue!
This afternoon I watched The Neverending Story, I have not seen it in so long. When I was little I actually prefered the second movie, as the Gmork frightened me. Now though, I appreciate the first one more as I have read the book and have a great deal of respect for it. The movie actually focuses only on the first half of the book, the second half, where Bastian creates a new Fantasia/Fantastica is even more fascinating and rich in symbolism and philosophy. It is well worth a read.

Ooh, lovely! Those shoes are gorgeous, very beautiful. I would buy shoes online as well, from shops or other lolitas … But my feet are … A little strange, and won’t take just one size. Sometimes they like to be a size 6, sometimes all the way up to a size 8 … Bah! T_T I have some pairs that are half sizes, as well! @_@;
Volume 23 does indeed look beautiful! I’ve been considering buying a subscription, but I’m not sure … Is it worth it to purchase one, or is it best to just pick and choose favourite issues …? ^^;

What lovely shoes! I love re-watching children’s movies as an ‘adult’. They usually have very beautiful sentiments. I have never seen the Neverending Story, but you’re making want to read the book. That, and The Last Unicorn.

Mallory ~ I prefer to pick issues as I feel like it, but if you wish to collect the entire series it might be helpful to get a subscription.
Caer ~ I agree! I always browse the childrens isle at the video store, sometimes they hide the very best movies there!
Cordelia ~ She is from Volks Tenshi no Sato, and she was something in the range of 65,000 yen from memory.

I just got my own pair of black heart buckle shoes in the mail yesterday, and I really like them as well. They are cute and perfect for casual lolita. I am trying them out for the first time today! I think I’d like them in white also if I ever had the extra money…. ^_^
