Cherry Blossom festival San Fransico last day

Had lots of fun on Sunday the last day of the festival but it was way too crowded for my liking. I wore my forest green furisode & orange fukuro obi that day. Though I was having a bad kistuke day, my collars wanted to misbehave & gave everyone a show with my juban on top. Though Adam was very much happy with that something about being disheveled & sexy looking, lol. I love how he just thinks I look so damn good in kimono to him.

Anyways I could only take two pictures that day cause I forgot my camera & hijacked my best friend Tanya's camera. lol

I want this!

Adam's Juban

So, I love to spoil Adam just a bit <3. ^ ^ I've also wanted to dress up with a male for quite a while & now I have a boy friend who can fit into kimono. <3 He's never worn kimono before so I bought him a juban with a motif I know he will just love! He collects swords as a hobby and I found a very awesome juban with swords as the motif. If all goes well and he likes it I'll invest in more kimono items for him.

Cherry Blossom Festival

=D It was last minute but me & my new boyfriend Adam found out that we could go yesterday to the festival. It was an epic one month benchmark in our relationship! I'm so happy to have a man that loves me in kimono, takes pictures as a hobby, loves Japanese culture as much as I do, is into art & is a psychology major, not to mention smart, funny, sexy, caring, & HOT! :lovelove

For the most part we had a really good time but when we went to the tea ceremony & we where going in I saw a flock of young women come out in kimono & they saw me. As soon as they pass us they started speaking Japanese & laughing.....me & Adam got the impression they where making fun of me. >< When I sat down I looked down and my obiage had fallen :angerburst . >< To say I was embaressed would just be the beginning..... I felt that my skill level was not up to their super proper standards. Then again I did break a lot of formality rules in my outfit not to mention I did not dress for tea ceremony at all. But I did get a lot of positive comments & one of the older ladies in kimono smiled at me so I felt better.
That & I was the only tan person in kimono who was not Japanese. It was kinda sad that I only saw maybe 10 people in kimono. :gah:
Sorry, ladies it was very windy that day & I don't have that much pictures of me in kimono but I do have next sunday to go too. :wink:

Vintage heaven

So recently I've been eyeing the heck out of Meisen kimono and the bright funky outfits that are made with them. I've very happy to report that I finally have a vintage bright kimono & obi. All I need is vintage inspired geta and maybe some cute kanzashi & a bag or purse.
