Lulu Hashimoto: The REAL living doll

Hellooooo everyone!! Today, I'm going to talk about Lulu Hashimoto- The REAL living doll of Japan!!
 
Other people on the internet, for whatever reason, have taken on the title of a living doll. This goes from the clothes they wear, how they do their make up, how they furnish their house, and the plastic surgery to even look the part. However, how would you feel with me telling you that 23 year old Japanese fashion designer, Hitomi Komaki has taken it one step even further, to produce a REAL living doll. She has always loved dolls, so therefore went ahead and designed a real life one and quoted as saying, “I have always really liked dolls and for me, the epitome of cuteness is dolls,”.

Lulu and designer Komaki recently appeared on the 100th episode of "Kawaii International".

 
Lulu Hashimoto wears a body suit with ball joints air brushed on the suit where the "actual joint" would be on a doll. It looks like a suit, but moves like a human, but looks like a doll. On the "doll models" face, she wears a hand crafted mask, complete with make up and false eye lashes.

Lulu is essentially a "doll fashion model", and often dresses up in cute clothes to capture the real life kawaii doll aesthetic. This also includes lolita fashion!! The designer also organisers an event called a "Kawaii Cult", where everyone who loves all things cute dresses up, interprets and, expresses the word in so many different ways!! At the recent meet up two months ago, Lulu Hashimoto appeared and captivated the audience with her graceful and adorable ballet dance.

Lulu has attracted heaps of attention online; with both a huge following of her Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts.
 
As a Lolita fashion lover, wearer and enthusiast, I was really amazed and confused by this concept of a living doll at first. Especially, from a Japanese designer taking it one step further and making a person an "actual doll". However, I rather this concept to people doing plastic surgery to become dolls and doing all kinds harm to their bodies and makes them look more worse than "doll like".
 
It may also seem creepy, but in this case I can accept Lulu Hashimoto as a living doll, as she combines fashion and art at the same time and I respect peoples art, as art (and fashion) are a way to expressing yourself ( and your sole) to the world.
 
Ok, that's all from me rufflebutts!! Stay kawaii.........

                                              Brand in review: Dollbe Ok, I'm back with another long-awaited post. A LOT has happened since I wrote my last post. I got married, went back to university, and got a new job, so I have only had a little spare time to write a blog post. However, life events aside, I am back with another brand in review. This time, Dollbe. A long time ago, I bought a deer accessory at a convention I went to, however did not have a dress to wear it with or coordinate it with. However, I had been following Dollbe on Facebook and Instagram and decided to browse her website. Whilst browsing, I come across a dress with deer on it, I fell in love. It come in two colour ways- sax and pink. I got the sax colour.  Dollbe is also really inclusive when it comes to accommodating to plus size ladies and has a range of sizes and waist types to choose from- empire and natural waist. It had a really easy-to-follow sizing guide and got my desired size. The JSK I got was m

The Petticoat   Hello everyone, I'm back with another post!! Yay!! When I first started in Lolita fashion five years ago, one of the things I thought I could get away with was a PETTICOAT!! I thought my bum looked big enough as it was ,and did not need to increase the size, and make it bigger with a petticoat. BUT little did I know that I needed a petticoat to give the dress some SHAPE. Because I'm a plus sized Lolita, I don't need an overly large and poofy petticoat. However, some lolitas wear two or even three pettis underneath on the quest for their desired look they want to achieve   One of the mistakes a lot of beginners make and often overlook is the petticoat. As I mentioned earlier, it gives the dress shape. This is important as it gives the look of the lolita aesthetic, and the iconic silhouette every one is familiar with. Beginners will often purchase a dress, minus the petti. If you're going to buy that dress you've had your eye on for ages, buy

Baby, the Stars Shine Bright Sendai, 14th anniversary tea party     Hello Everyone, and welcome to another blog post. I'm going to be telling you about the last brand event I went to in Sendai. You are probably thinking, why the last? Well, on the 24th of July, both my contract and visa expires, so therefore I have to move back home to Australia. So, without furthur a do, here is my story.        On the 20th of April, 2019, I attended my last ever brand event. It was held at the same place as usual, a cute place called `Nota Blanca`, in Ichibancho. As this was brand event number six that I went to, I was pretty proud about making it an even number to finish off with. We were shown to our seats, served a really nice selection of spring themed sweets. We were also asked to stand up and do a self introduction, and tell the other people attending, what we were wearing. As my turn came, I did my intro and outfit spill, then I also made a small speech that I was l
