What did you BUY today?

[RadFemHedonist]

30 wooden coat/clothes hangers and 100 (so 50 pairs) of self-adhesive rubber grips from Amazon, for hanging my heavier dresses and coats (I also got two white bras, a pack of bra extenders, and two 5 packs (so 10 pairs) of lycra and lace black full brief pants from Marks and Spencers - the photos I would have posted from their website is just the items themselves they're not on a model, but I feel a bit weird about posting that here so I won't lol)

You should know the rules by now.
We want pictures. Well I do.

Regarding one of your earlier posts with the Gothic Lolita dress.
I was walking through Stratford station and passed a woman dressed up with the same.
A stupid couple made fun of her once they had passed. Some idiots don't know style.

I wasn't rly sure what was an appropriate response to that, but I'm quoting it for posterity anyway XD

Thankyou, and you are indeed correct that some people are ignorant of the brilliance of lolita fashion! Wish I could have seen the gothic lolita woman I bet she looked amazing!

The light purple dress from Shein arrived and it's a bit rubbish so I'll be sending it back sadly, my insoles arrived and the shoes are sooo much comfier with them in (the size UK 8 "men's" ones from that brand at least are an EU 42 rather than an EU 41, which is great cuz I have EU 42 size feet lol), I also made a bit of monies from an Ebay sale so I bought this lovely glitter bodycon dress and a red velvet romper with a stars motif from Cider

I suppose it was more of an in joke.
I'm on a football forum and if someone mentions their wife, the running joke is you know the rules we need pictures.

She did. I regret not giving her the thumbs up but decided to leave her be.
First and only time I've seen that for real.
Used to be plenty on NHK news.

Bought a couple of rly awesome looking lipsticks off Amazon last night as well that I forgot to mention on here, my wooden hangers and hanging strips also arrived earlier this afternoon and so far I'm rly happy with the quality of both, having hung up numerous heavier clothing items on them

 

[RadFemHedonist]

I bought more bloomers and a blouse from AliExpress, and I bough the deep blue one of those lipsticks then when it arrived I was rly impressed with the quality and how long it stays on, it looks rly nice very vibrant, so I bought three other colours

 

[Girls with Guns]

That's a lot of bloomin' pants you're buying, RadFem!

That's a lot of bloomin' pants you're buying, RadFem!

Haha XD They are actually basically fancy shorts! But you made me laugh

I got this cute pastel blue and white lolita dress from AliExpress, and an unholy amount (given my diabetes) of sugary food from Waitrose on Deliveroo, at least I have only had the biscuits and left the white chocolate and three tubs of icecream alone

 

[RadFemHedonist]

Got the hoodie with the tree and the green shirt with flowers for free with purchase of the other three items

 

[RadFemHedonist]

A whole lotta glove/gloves out the wazoo cuz tis the season for buying and wearing cute handwarming accessories

I have preordered a Vampire Hunter D fanzine on Etsy.

OMG I love VHD!

Instant preorder today

Loved this when I was looking at Himiko figures last week so an easy Day 1 order for me

OMG I love VHD!

The zine is called Vampires Vestige digital zine if you are interested. There is a print edition with extra goodies but it is from America so the postage cost is high. So I went with the digital version instead.

@Shadow Cat great find! I was also looking at My Hero Academia figures recently and I thinking about pre-ordering the Mt Lady 1/90 scale figure. But I have to be careful with figures because I currently don’t have a way to display them.

Ah fairs! I wasn't offended or anything, just wasn't sure how salacious forumites here are allowed to be in this context XP

Lesson learned for next time perhaps (as in maybe give a thumbs up next time?) Living in Brighton I do see people wearing pretty impressive outfits fairly frequently but lolita dresses aren't an everyday spotting even here

I might just look into it, I'm still on Volume 1 of the dramatic adaptations of the novels in audiobook format, but it is v enjoyable and I love the 80s feature length OVA and quite enjoyed Bloodlust though my fave Kawajiri work will always be Cyber City Oedo 808!

I'm really excited about these cardigans that I bought this evening from Stitch Spring!

I bought some anime cels from an IRL shop in London!

Discovered the shop a few weeks ago while strolling through Notting Hill / Kensington area. Lol I'm not rich - I just like coming to London for a big long day of walking for exercise, and I happened to pass through there. Anyway, I saw a shop advertising itself as a Japanese gallery, and I thought it'd be full of traditional pictures and paintings, based on the location in London. And indeed, they do have a lot of that kind of art.

But amazingly, what they also have is an extensive collection of anime cels, posters, and brochures!

They were closed when I first discovered them, so I was happy to get the chance to go back when they were open. Pic from their website:



I recognised a few shows among all of the (many!) cels on offer, including Black Jack, Tenchi Muyo, Detective Conan. I ended up buying five from shows that I didn't immediately recognise, because I just thought they looked gorgeous, and I can imagine them looking fantastic in a frame on my wall. Perhaps some of you recognise them? Each one that I bought was either £10 or £20, though they definitely had some more expensive ones there.

Pay them a visit if you're able to get there. You have to knock to enter, but they seem very happy for you to just go in for a browse.









[EDIT: Someone on Reddit identified this one - it's from Momoiro Sisters]

Treated myself to a new phone, a Pixel 8a when it's discounted in the BF sale. Hopefully it lasts as long as my current (2nd hand) 4a

Also gone for this case design.

I knew that HMV were selling Tokyo Godfathers for £5.99 - but I was very happy to find out at the till that the sale price had a further 20% off. Total pice: £4.79.

I'm very happy, though I also wonder how anyone in the chain is making money from that sale. Obviously it benefits me personally, but I do also want the anime industry to survive! For me, a big reason for buying physical media is to support the industry.

Still, if everyone in the chain is happy with that price, then I definitely am.
