Combichrist and Rammstein Concert at the Oracle Arena in Oakland

Last May, Kevin and I scored free tickets to the Combichrist/Rammstein concert at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. Thanks to Amelia and Joe Letz for hooking it up, our seats were amazing and the show was fantastic!!!

This was our first time seeing either band, and the first thing we noticed was that the male to female ratio at this concert was seriously 100 : 1. I have never seen so many guys under one roof in my life! So it’s not surprising that I immediately befriended Tomi, the cute girl seated right next to me. Hi Tomi!

RAW Artist Showcase featuring Kerli and Pretty Star Clothing, Cafe Jack Titanic/Christmas Themed Korean Restaurant

Last April, my friend Kaila asked if Sugarpill wanted to sponsor the RAW Artist showcase featuring two of my friends, Kerli and Pretty Star Clothing. We were still recovering from Magical Girls weekend, but “work” is always a good excuse to see my friends again!

Me, Pretty Star designer Laura, and Yume, with Kevin creepin’ in the background! Laura made the adorable leopard dress I’m wearing. It’s so cute and comfy!

Magical Girls at Meltdown Comics featuring The Lady Spade and The Aprils!

An overabundance of sparkling cuteness was in the air at the “Magical Girls: Art Inspired by Shojo Manga” party at Meltdown Comics. Hosted by the lovely ladies of Sweet Streets and Bubble Punch, the show featured works by Japanese art collective Shibuya Girls Pop, as well as non-Japanese favorites including Miss Kika, Bei Badgirl, and tons more I can’t remember because these pictures are from April (shut up!). There were live performances by Japanese girl bands The Lady Spade and The Aprils, as well as a cosplay costume contest judged by the lovely Tavuchi of Harajuku shop Spank!

There, I think I got the description covered… now, on to the pictures!

Q Pop Grand Opening Party, Bar Sinister, Idiot Shoes

Last January, we drove down to LA for the grand opening party at Q Pop, a supercute shop and art gallery that carries the most adorable Japanese clothing, accessories, and handmade goods. The store was so ridiculously packed that it ended up turning into a colorful outdoor street party. So much fun!

Me, Kerli, Tess, Katt and Kaila

Sarah and Matt’s Engagement Party at Bubble Lounge

My sister Sarah got married on Wednesday, so that probably means I should post the pics from her engagement party last December, right? :-D

Matt proposed to Sarah at the Cliff House. It was supposed to be a surprise, but I think she was suspicious when he wore a suit, booked a super nice hotel, and told her to pack her bags for the weekend. (She said yes anyway). Afterward, he took her to the Bubble Lounge, where there was a surprise party waiting. That time, smarty pants was genuinely surprised.

Sisters in birth order: Lisa, Sarah, me
