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

Brand In Review: Lady Sloth

Image
Welcome to first of my review series on plus size friendly Lolita Brands. Today's brand in review is Lady Sloth (LS). I first discovered Lady Sloth back in 2014 when I first got into Lolita Fashion. At the time I was just a looker and did not buy any of her products. Fast forward to 2017, I was in Japan, Lady Sloth released a print called "Welcome to my Doll House". I loved this print for many reasons, but because I am a doll lover I could not resist getting it. Three to six months later the dress, blouse and accessories arrived in my mailbox. Since then, I have purchased three or four more of her designs.  "Welcome To My Doll House" Lady Sloth uses many different materials, ranging from chiffon, organza, polyester, cotton and etc. I'm no seamstress and not really familiar with materials, but overall wearing the materials the dress is made from, I find the garments very comfortable to wear. I find some of her dresses and blouses do not have lace, and that so

Puroland and Lolita Fashion       Hello, back with another blog post. This time I wanted to talk about an outing a friend and I had to Sanrio Puroland, wearing Lolita fashion. For some of you who have not heard of Puroland- it's a theme park built to be an imaginary world of Hello Kitty and her friends. For example, Dear Daniel, My Melody, Kuromi, Pom Pom Purin, Little Twin Stars, Keroppi and etc.     Well anyway, I was down in Tokyo for my spring vacation, and I wanted to go to Puroland as I am a huge Hello Kitty fan. I also asked my friend if she wanted to join me and she said yes. So, we met at Puroland, took some photos and then entered the building. When we entered, we were bombarded with Japanese media wanting to interview us for a TV programme. We of course, also drew their attention because we were dressed in Lolita. Unfortunalty, one of the things about wearing alternate fashion, is that you draw unwanted attention from curios on lookers- and media. But,
