『2013|10|05』MMC - Mega Manga Con(vention)

Just one day before the 5th of October I actually decided to go there by myself. Since no one wanted to come with me or had no time, because of studying or something else I decided to go there even when I'll be alone the whole day.

I had to get up quite early, because I needed to be there at least at ten o'clock in the morning but decided it might be better to get there around 09:30am. Since I decided spontaneously I planed my outfit all night long and in the end I only slept for roughly two hours. >_< I still got up at 07:00am and was so endlessly tired.

After hurrying to the bathroom and hurrying to get dressed in my beloved Twinkle Journey JSK I missed the bus, because I still needed to put on my make up. XD" Running late as always I threw the last bit of things in my bag, grabbed my coat and hair accessories and hurried into the kitchen were my mum was already busying around. In the end she decided to drive me to the Fontane Haus which was really nice of here.

I arrived there around 9:40am. A bit later than planed but still early enough to get a ticket. Finally being there I started to wonder why I was hurrying so much and why I stressed myself so much, because the waiting line was barely there. Even the one for people without ticket. I was a bit surprised by it since everyone spread so much panic in the forums and in FB groups that you won't get tickets anymore.

Barley there I was already buying my ticket which cost 20€ ;__; but since it was the beginning of the month I had enough money left for the con. ^^"


Aaaaaaand than it happened! -.-"""

I tell you never even try to go down the stairs in your beloved lolita dress, with heeled shoes while organizing your stuff into your bag! NEVER do that or you ruin your outfit!!! Which exactly happened to me! -.-" I kind of tripped because I couldn't see were I was going and since the stairs have some kind of carpet, my heel got stuck and I fell. Luckily I was already at the bottom end of the stairs and they are kind of flat. Nothing really bad happened except that my tights ripped when my heel got across them while tripping. -.-"

Luckily you can leave the venue and get back whenever you want, as long as you can show your paper bracelet, which you get at the entrance. You have to wear it all day. It's not the nicest solution to that problem, but at least you can go outside for a while.
I than decided to go to the nearby mall and look for some new tights or knee socks or something similar.

I was lucky enough to find something for my problem and I also had a really stupid idea which cost me even more money. XD I went to dm (a drugstore) and I found the new METALglam LE from essence there. Which was my death, because I bought all of the nail polishes. XD But I also found some nude tights and cute socks there. ^^

After that I went back to the Fontane Haus and first thing to do was changing tights. I went to the toilet for that which was kind of a bad idea, because it was so small and dark there. I should have stayed in some corner of the wardrobe section were all the cosplayers changed outfits. XD

After I was finished I went to sit down and organized my stuff again to bring it to the wardrobe. I wanted to only have my DIR EN GREY tote bag (for my food, make up and conhon) and my little purse for money and my "accessory" to carry around. Everything heavy and even my coat got stuffed into my huge handbag (which I also use for school) this way I only had to pay for the bag. *muihihiiii*

while organizing my stuff XD

Finally I got rid of my stuff and I went upstairs again to explore the convention. Now it was so crowded and it was already hard to get through the masses. ;_; That's the annoying thing at conventions. But I managed to walk through and to look through all the second hand mangas. I hoped to find some of the volumes still missing in my collection, but I couldn't find them. While everyone else always had a lot of volumes in their hands I couldn't even find one I already owned of that series. That was kinda frustrating. Not that I planed to spend money, but I just would love it to finally finish that series off. I would buy new ones, but it's out of print that's why I'm looking for second hand plus second hand is mostly priced down. *^*

OSTs, mangas, animes, figures...

Rilakkuma *^*

Dragon Ball ~ Bulma and Kuririn ^^

Dragon Ball figures and even Vegeta ♥

and Ao no Exorcist figures *^*

my new love Neon Genesis Evangelion XD"

some cosplayers and people XD"

cute key chains, stationary and cookie cutters

my little video ~ nothing special

just crowds and manga universe XD

After spending a lot of time looking through second hand mangas and other stuff I decided to change places and went to the accessories section where a lot of asian street fashion inspired booths were. I love these so much. I wish they would make more gothic or punkish accessories not only all these colourful things. XD It's cute and everything but I'm just not the person for Fairy Kei or OTT Sweet Lolita. Even when I own the Twinkle Journey print (Which I love and not really put into the sweet section, more into the mystic, fantasy one XD).

MagicalSweetness 

BeccyLemon

Gosh, she had so many super cute things. I couldn't decide which was the cutes and I'm still thinking about getting one of her purple Pulpos. They are just too cute to be true. *^* And I also really love her Sailor Senshi inspired bow necklaces. I wish I would have bought the Sailor Mars one. ;__;

MadmoiselleOpossum

She always has so super cute stuff. Everything is overloaded with pastels and lace and cutie cute stuff. Just so lovely but not really my style. Still super lovely.

some wigs and lenses booth

Kpop -.-" ~ find CN BLUE and NU'EST XD"""

After walking around for a few hours and checking through all the booths I got super hungry and decided to take a break. Since I had no food with me this time I bought something there. There was a lot of different japanese food, but everything was always so crowded that I couldn't really see if there was some veggie dish. Finally I found the one who sold おにぎり(onigiri) and most of them where even vegan. Lucky me. ^o^ I bought two おにぎり(onigiri), one with avocado x lime and one with kimchi.

yumyum おにぎり*p*

The next booth sold たいやき(Taiyaki) and I had to get one. I took one with あんこ (red bean paste) filling. What else? XD I just love red bean paste sooooo much!!!!!!!! *Q*

my たおやき it was so yummy *q*

Because the たいやき(Taiyaki) was fresh made it was still hot and I decided to eat it first and keep the おにぎり(onigiri) for later.

After a little break I spent again some time looking around the booths and decided to buy some small things. ^^

a chain ball charm from Sentimental Circus
and three buttons (two for friends and the purple one for myself)

such a crowded room ~ urg

My feet started to hurt a lot after a while and I decided that I need to sit down somewhere. I hoped for a place in the show room, but it already was suuuper crowded and I decided to go somewhere else. Finally I found a nice, quiet place next to the games section and I decided it was time to eat the おにぎり(onigiri). I also spend some time tweeting and instagraming to not get that bored. XD"

While sitting and eating I saw this awesome Ao no Exorcist banner and had to take a pic of it. ^^

Ao no Exorcist banner

Finally it was time to go queue to get into the show room to get some good spot to sit. I needed to see them, because they where the main reason I went there. I'm talking about the show group Daijoubu. Ever since I saw them the first time I loved them. Actually they are the only show group I really love. ^^" Plus they wanted to play Wedding Peach. I just had to see that. I love Wedding Peach sooo much. It always came right after Sailor Moon on my ranking. ♥

In front of the show room was already a huge crowd who wanted to see Daijoubu. All the Cosplayers who took part in the cosplay contest had some serious problem to get into the room for the announcing of the winner. XD This was kind of funny, because no one wanted to let go of their place. It was like being a crazy fangirl at a concert. XD 

Even the securities acted like at a concert and led people only in a group of three or four in. They had to look around the room if there were enough places to sit. It's because of the safety rule thingy.

Finally in, I decided to not go to the very front. I decided to stay in the middle, more at the side. I had a quite good place and was able to see everything from there. That made me happy enough. ^^

a small video to get an impression

it's only songs ^^

Finally the play started and it's called "Wedding Peach - The Queen is not amused". 

Plays by show groups mostly contains plots from Anime, Manga and Games and are some kind of musical, with dancing, "singing", and spoken parts. 

Daijoubu is known for their funny jokes and a really good performance. I loved it that they even included the transformation from the wedding dress outfits to the fighting outfits. They included every little detail, even when the interpretation was a little free but how to bring some animated stuff onto the stage? I actually really liked that play. Some jokes were a bit flat, but who cares when everything else is so awesome. I also really liked the cosplays, especially the wedding dresses. They were so well made and the fighting outfits too. ♥♥♥ I actually like it that they interpreted the oh so "awesome" Yanagiba Kazuya in a bit of a stupid way. He can do everything but not wrap a birthday gift? XD I liked that a lot. *tehe*

After Daijoubu was finished everything except the show room closed and I decided it was time to go home. Daijoubu was the last show group to play, after that came some Vocaloid show thingy in which I wasn't interested at all. I just don't get the Vocaloid hype at all. XD""" Plus I was super tired, hungry and my feet hurt so much. It was definitively time to go home! 

I went downstairs again to go to the toilet and to get my things from the wardrobe. A lot of people already decided to go home. It was super crowded downstairs, like always. 

one self pic ^^

After that I got dressed and made my way to the bus station where I had to wait something like ten minutes. -.- But it wasn't that bad, since it wasn't that cold and I only had to take one bus to go home. ^^

the leaflets which I collected and the MMC program ^^

『discussionl』 Idols, Agencies and their rules...

I got inspired to write this entry by the announcement of the withdrawal and the cancelation of contract of KAT-TUN's member Tanaka Koki, which got published on 9th October and shocked quite a few people and a whole fandom got woken up about it.

To be hones it's not only that matter, but just the whole Idol Industry in Japan and Korea which always gave me a headache in some way. That's why this entry will not be based on actual facts, nut my opinion and only mine. don't know anything about the whole thing or at least not that much. I'm also not really involved nor active in this kind of field. I just write down my thoughts on it.

The reason why I got inspired is that KAT-TUN is my one and only Jpop band I listen to. To be honest I never called myself a real fan nor a Hyphen (which is what KAT-TUN fans are called), I just like it to listen to them on occasion and when I feel like it or when I need a little cheer up and yes at the meantime I'm able to sing along with nearly every of their songs. That's why even I was shocked about these news. I never thought that something like that will ever hurt my little heart, but it seems like I like them a lot more as expected.

The thing is that I don't get this whole Idol thing. I just can't understand how someone wants to become an Idol, being under so much pressure and following so many rules of an agency. You have to sing, dance, act and if you're popular enough you even get your own little shows or you have to host some variety shows. Even participating in variety shows is a must to get known. It doesn't matter if you're becoming a korean or a japanese Idol, the fact is that you have to do a lot of stupid things, maybe even some more or less inhuman things.

And all these stupid rules by agencies, like no girlfriend/boyfriend until a certain age, no tattoos, no twitter account, no whatever it is else...
(I'm not in all this and I don't know for sure if anything I'm writing is right so please bear with me and my lack of knowledge regarding these things.)

I just can't understand how someone can send their child/ children to such an agency. Is it really only for the money? Do they really think that they will ever see something of it?
Let's be honest, most of the money goes to the agencies no matter what you want to believe. It'll go there and when it's only to pay for all those expensive shows and stupid costumes. (Which I actually not believe, but let's pretend it's the way it works.)

So you get send there by your parents, might have said something like "I wanna be an Idol" at the age of five, you have to work your ass off and in the end if you're not popular enough or "behaving bad" you get cut down, downgraded, punishment of various sorts or the most drastic way, just fired.
It's not counting what fans say or band members or who else. If it seems like you're not worth it or you just don't bring enough money you're out of it.

According to the german article on Wikipedia Idols singed to Johnny & Associates just get a fixed income and some promotions for special activities. That's a reason why I wonder someone would ever send their child to such a company. At least they get something out of it. No one knows how high it is and that's not the reason why I write about this all.

I just really can't understand all the hype about Idols.  No matter if they japanese or korean or whatever nationality. I'm not sure if this is really a business to support. For me it sounds more like human slavery or something. Now a lot of people will say that they only try to make a living or that they wanted it of their own free will, but I actually think that only the fewest went there on their own idea. I really think that a lot of the Idols got send to some agency by their parents, because they wanted it that way.

There also was another incident at the beginning of the year. It regarded the events around a female Idol from AKB48. These news went around the world, because she cut of all her hair and recorded a video where she apologized for her bad behavior. Which was staying over night at her boyfriends home at the age of 20 or something.

this is the video I'm talking about

Now there are fans who claim that she did it on her own free will. And I have to add that I don't know anything about them, except their super popular in Japan and always have theses really strange PVs which so not compliment their "oh so innocent" image.

I actually think that it was not that free of mind to do that, even when she decided to do it. I think it's only because of all these stupid rules and the pressure of the agencies/ companies for an "oh so innocent" image. Who want to ask someone if their allowed to love someone or stay over night or what ever. There is always a rule which forbids exactly the thing you want to do. It's always there. Always!

Regarding the punishment she got lucky and just got downgraded. But there always are punishments like canceling a tour, no drama contracts (for a while), no advertisement contracts (for a while), canceling the contract with the agency, maybe even less money. Regarding the tour cancelation it happened to KAT-TUN this year and I think that this is more a punishment for all their fans than for the member who was troublesome or misbehaving. The same goes for the drastic contract cancelation. Do they even think about how much pain this causes the fans. The people who spend all their money on the band of a certain agency?

I think they don't even care about that. They just care for their own money and the "oh so innocent" image of their company and their bands/ Idols in training. Every other band/ Idol already has an image to stand up to.


I just think that all this is kind of ridiculous and some kind of modern slavery. Sure they have to make a living, but they still should be allowed to have some more free time and their own opinion and thoughts. And sure there is a need for certain rules, but it mustn't be the way it is.

I wonder if this will ever change and if it change will it be as successful as it is now?

• What are your thought on that topic? 
• Are you a fan of all the Idols? 
• Do you like it the way it is nowadays?

Feel free to leave your opinion in a comment or just leave me a message on one of my other sites.

『2013|10|21』things and thoughts which came to my mind today

I'm sorry that this will only be in German, but I needed to get it from my chest and out to the world. It's about my feelings and all the annoying stuff of life and the school life of an adult. Just ignore it. I just wanted to write it down somewhere. 
I've some more entries planned, but need the time to write them. At the moment it's pretty hard to write anything, because a lot of exams are coming up and the end of the semester's getting nearer and nearer. 





Es gibt Dinge, welche ich nie erwartet hätte.


Es ist doch tatsächlich eingetreten, dass ich die „Best-Sabel-Zeit“ vermisse. Kaum vorstellbar, da doch gerade diese Schule mich in zum Verzweifeln gebracht hat und seit deren Ende mich ein grauenhaftes, mal wachsendes, mal schrumpfendes Schwarzes Loch verfolgt. Eines, welches mich in Selbstzweifel, Selbsthass und unendliche Demotivation treibt.


Doch in letzter Zeit ist mir aufgefallen, dass ich diese Zeit vermisse. Auch wenn ich immer sehr viel zu tun hatte und kaum Zeit fand etwas anders zu tun, so war ich doch immer von Menschen umgeben mit denen ich mich gut verstand. Wir verbrachten so viel zeit miteinander, schon allein weil wir bis in die Nacht in der Schule saßen und an unseren Projekten arbeiteten und motivierten uns gegenseitig.Selbst wenn es sehr spät werden konnte, so hatten wir dennoch Spaß an der Sache, auch dann wenn wir uns dauerhaft beklagten.


Wer bestellt schon Pizza zum Abendessen in die Schule, besetzt mindestens drei Computer, einen für Musik, einen für's Internet, einen zum Arbeiten, geht auf die Männertoilette,weil sie näher ist, singt und springt durch den Raum? Wer verbringt die Pause damit Animes und Doramas zu schauen, schminkt sich mit Hilfe der Webcam für ein Konzert und sitzt ständig im Unterricht anderer Jahrgänge, um auf jemanden zu warten?


Egal wie anstrengend es war, egal wie genervt und ausgelaugt ich war, es hat Spaß gemacht. Wir hatten auch unsere Zickereien, aber dennoch hatten wir Spaß an der Sache.




Nun sitze ich hier und weiß nicht vor, nicht zurück und habe das grauenhafte Gefühl vergessen worden zu sein. Ein grausames Gefühl von Einsamkeit und Nichtskönnen beschleicht mich täglich und lässt mich meine kreative Zeit vermissen.


Ich bin dauergestresst, ohne dass ich ich etwas tue, ohne wirklich zu lernen. Müde, ausgelaugt, kaputt. Dies ist mir besonders nach den Sommerferien aufgefallen. Selbst in den Ferien habe ich so gut wie nichts gemacht. Nichts, außer schlafen und in der Sonne liegen.


Und dann... ja dann fing die Schule wieder an und es hieß wieder früh raus aus dem Bett. Ich hatte wirklich sehr gehofft, dass ich weiterhin motiviert bleibe, jetzt wo doch das letzte Jahr ansteht. Doch seit dem ich mich mit entsprechenden Studiengängen auseinandergesetzt habe und deren NCs sehe wird mir schlecht. Wie soll ich denn jemals solch ein Ergebnis erreichen? Wird sich meine Motivation jemals bessern, sodass ich es auch durchziehen kann ohne große Verzögerungen, falls ich es in einen geeigneten Studiengang schaffen sollte?


Im Moment weiß ich nicht einmal wie ich die folgenden paar Monate durchstehen soll, geschweige denn jemals mein Abitur, welches ich mir so sehnlich wünsche, bestehen soll oder kann.


Im Prinzip hasse ich jeden meiner Kurse und mir geht so ziemlich jeder auf die Nerven. Das ist so schlimm. Der einzige Kurs, in welchem ich mich halbwegs wohl fühle ist mein Englischkurs. Vielleicht noch der Mathematikkurs, aber das liegt nur daran dass ich plötzlich zu einem halben Mathegenie mutiert bin. Es ist so gruselig zu sehen, dass Fächer die mir eigentlich immer Spaß gemacht haben, wie zum Beispiel Kunst, mich überaus nerven und demotivieren und Fächer welche ich immer gehasst habe, wie Mathe, unglaublich motivieren können.


Ebenso werde ich grundsätzlich von Außenstehenden als strebsam und ach so vorbildhaft gelobt, dabei tue ich zu Hause nichts für die Schule. Die einzigen Hausaufgaben die ich gerne mache sind die für den Malunterricht. Ansonsten quäle ich mich nur rum. Meine Anwesenheit mag vielleicht fast perfekt sein, doch meine mündliche Mitarbeit ist und bleibt eine Katastrophe. Das weiß ich selbst, das muss mir nicht jeder verdammte Lehrer vorhalten. Aber was glauben die wohl wie schwer es für jemanden ist, der einfach mal schon immer so unglaublich ruhig war. Ich kommuniziere einfach nicht gerne mit „komischen“ Menschen. Egal wer da steht.


Ganz ehrlich, jeder mit dem ich rede kann sich glücklich schätzen dass ich dies tue. 'Tschuldigung, aber mal ganz ehrlich, was soll ich denn diesen ganzen „ach so erwachsenen“ Menschen auch entgegenbringen? Meine Interessen sind nun ganz einfach nicht Mainstream genug, um sich in der Erwachsenenbildung damit zu rühmen. Ich bin vom Alter her zwar eine der jüngeren dort, aber dennoch bin ich einfach zu sehr mit anderen Dingen beschäftig, um mich auch nur ein klitze kleines Bisschen mit denen und ihren „so erwachsenen“ Problemen auseinander zu setzten.


Schon alleine wenn ich in meinem Deutschkurs sitze und die reden höre, verdrehen sich meine Augen von selbst. Ist doch jeder selbst überlassen ober die nun ein Kind bekommt oder nicht, ob sie deswegen lieber wiederholt oder nicht. Kann doch jeder selbst entscheiden. Was meinen die wohl, warum es diese Regelung gibt, dass man ein Jahr Auszeit nehmen kann. Egal ob nun Schwangerschaft oder Krankheit, oder sonst was.


Es ist so erschreckend, dass dieser Scheiß von Lästerei nie aufhört. Ich komme mir vor wie in der Grundschule. Immer gibt es irgendwas worüber gelästert oder getuschelt wird. Im Unterricht wir lauthals gequasselt und ständig wird es sich beschwert, dass man Hausaufgaben aufbekommt. Na was haben die denn gedacht? Die kriegen das alles geschenkt?


Ehrlich, das ist alles so nervenaufreibend. Vielleicht ist auch genau das der Grund warum ich auf all das keine Lust mehr habe. Warum es mir so unendlich schwerfällt aus dem Bett zu kriechen.


Nach den Herbstferien ging es mir auch kein Stückchen besser und heute endlich war der erste Tag seit Monaten an dem ich wach und motiviert war. Ich habe sogar endlich mal wieder etwas vom Unterricht mitbekommen ohne einzudösen, habe kein Mittagsschlaf halten müssen und konnte mich halbwegs gut auf Hausaufgaben und lernen konzentriern.

『2013|07|11』A day in pink!

I'm on holidays again, this time it's only two weeks. I finally decided to post again. I have quite a lot of ideas for a few posts. I'm starting with something from back in July, just because it was so much fun and absolutely worth the time and money. ^^ 

WARNING: It's going to be super picture heavy! 


Since I knew it would be in Berlin I wanted to go there and tried to find people who wanted to go there with me. It wasn't that hard as I believed first and I suddenly had two friends who wanted to go there. In the end I only went with one of them.
The opening was on my birthday and ever since I wanted to go there everyday. I always said if I had known it early I would have had celebrated my birthday there. XD I said that just to annoy the others, but at the same time thought it would have been a cute idea. ^^

I'm talking about the Barbie Dreamhouse.


On 11th July I finally could go there. I met up with Lulu around 10:30am. Which was kinda hard, because I was on summer holidays, which means I slept super long and was lying in the sun all the time. Both of us were a bit late, because it was "too" early in the morning for us. ^^" Finally both of us were there and we went across the Alexanderplatz to get to the Barbie Dreamhouse. It opened at 10:00am and we hoped that it won't be too crowded in the morning. We were lucky enough and the waiting line wasn't really long.

But first thing to do after arriving there was taking pictures.

So I'm telling you right at the beginning, the pictures from outside the Barbie Dreamhouse are okay, but inside was a horrible lighting and everything was pink with a lighter shade of pink and even the spotlights were pink. That's why on most pictures people and things are pink even when they were in other colors.
And yes I kind of documented the whole Barbie Dreamhouse in pictures and short video clips. I'll show you a few of them. ^^

Onto the first pictures:

in front of the Barbie Dreamhouse

the entrance

On both sides of the entrance was a big vitrine with a lot of different styled Barbies, all in pink outfits. We spend a few minutes there to look at all of them. ^^

the waiting line in front of the ticket desk

I loved it, that the ticket desk was in a "paper box" just like the Barbie dolls in the shops.

At first I didn't recognized it at all, but after a few seconds I realized what it was. ^^

Finally through with the tickets, we also took the RFID-bracelet to play games and first had to register in Barbie's Dreamhouse for it. We could choose an avatar and a nick name. I chose Barbie (actually I wanted Teresa, but something went wrong ;_;)  and sure I chose MomokoHime as a nick. XD What else...

The first thing to enter was an elevator to get to the big pink kitchen of the Barbie Dreamhouse.

Barbie and her sisters 

yummy a supersized cupcake. XD
actually it was a wastebin

next to Barbie and her sisters ^^

Finally an overview of the kitchen. Everything was pink, pink, pink and a few sprinkles of white, like the real Barbie Dreamhouse. The center part of the kitchen was the gaming section were we could "bake" cupcakes with the RFID-bracelet.

an overview

the cupcake I made ^^

You also could push buttons to light up the ovens and the cupcakes inside started turning around. This was so funny, like the real Barbie kitchen I had when I was a child.

my favourite cupcake

and Lulu's favourite cupcake

After spending quite a while in the kitchen looking at everything, taking photos and baking cupcakes, we moved on to the next room.

It was the special cooling room, maybe they wanted to imitate a huge freezer, but I just called it "The Ice Room". Everything turned from pink to blue and it immediately got so cool. XD

a vitrine with a lot of awesome looking cakes

one of my favos

and another one

In every room were a few vitrines with special Barbie dolls and the "Ice Room" had one of the coolest of them all.

the vitrine with the ice themed Barbies

and our favourite doll
she's just too awesome and her outfit
is the most extravagant of them all

Everything was full with ice cube shaped walls and even the armchairs looked like they were made of ice cubes. They also imitated icicles out of little crystal-like plastic pearls.

the Ice-Princess

After we were finished we had to cross the kitchen again to go to the next room, the living room:

me and Barbie's award

a pic with Ryan and Raquelle

I love these two, they are so funny in the Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse series. XD I actually love their style, but can't stand it that they always turn the dark haired and more rock styled characters into the "bad" ones. This is kind of annoying. (>_>)"

The living room was a really huge room and we could play the piano, a puzzle on a screen (with the RFID-bracelet) and also write an entry in Barbie's friends book. There also were a few special dolls shown, pictures and a big bookshelf of Barbie's books. ^^

my entry

After that we went to the beach and had a wonderful day and night there.  ^^

overview of the beach

The room with the beach had day & night changes and with that even the sounds changed a bit. That was so cool. When it was night time it was really hard to take pics, because the lighting got even more worse.

some of the beach dolls 

This was a funny thing. In all the other rooms were vitrines for the dolls and the one on the beach was one of these fridges with a glass door, like in shops or supermarkets. There was even sand in it to simulate the beach.

And as always posing, posing, posing:

waiting to sell some juice and lemonade ^^

and chilling at the beach in the sun

The beach wasn't that big and we returned to the living room again, to get to the next room. 

On our way there we passed a wall with pictures of Barbie's life, friends, family and pets. It was a bit like in Harry Potter, because the pictures were changing and we suddenly felt like being in Hogwarts. XD

the "magical" pictures
Barbie, her sisters and Taffy (dog)

On the opposite side was the home of Barbie's pets. We then met Taffy, Tawny and Blissa.

with Tawny (horse) and Blissa (cat)

All the rooms were on different floors. On each floor a few rooms. Moving from floor to floor you needed to take the elevator. That was so funny, because it wasn't a real elevator, just a small room in between with an animation, so you feel like being in an elevator. Sometimes there was a screen and a video message from Barbie herself. 

here you can see the inside of the elevator

it also was pink, what else XD

Then we entered the huge bed room. The bedroom was a lot of fun, because we took a lot of silly pics. ^^

took a pic with Barbie's friends
Teresa,  Nikki, Midge

a huge music box
it even worked properly 

Barbie's bed is sooo huge

a slide in the shape of a pump XD

comfy bed ^^

You also could activate the ceiling of the bed with your RFID-bracelet. You had to hold your bracelet against the right section at the bed and than the ceiling got activated and some personalized surprise appeared there. ^o^

WHAT'S THAT?

a scared edition of the MomokoHime doll XD

The funny thing with these was, that around the glass box were a lot in a smaller size with Barbie dolls in it. That means we could be the doll in the box. ^^

Some of those awesome special edition Barbies:

I love her dress so much

Paris Barbie

here is the whole "family"
Skipper, Chelsea & Blissa, Barbie, Taffy, Ken,  Stacie

Next to the bedroom was Barbie's bathroom. 

the styling section

the bathtub

and the toilet XD

To get the joke with the dolphins you actually need to know the show Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse. There was this episode where Stacie got dolphins as pets and Ken accidentally joined the aquarium with the plumping and the dolphins swam around the whole neigbourhood through the pipes. XD" 

And on the screen at the styling section was exact this episode playing all day. Too funny! XD

Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse "Accidentally on Porpoise"

the episode I was talking about XD

The bathroom was also stuffed with a lot of super pretty mermaid dolls in bull's eyes. That was such an awesome arrangement! 

this one is so pretty

I like her because she has purple clothing XD

such a cutie

super pretty and colourful 

Back to the bedroom we decided to play another game and this time created a postcard for Barbie. ^^

my postcard

Crossing the bedroom to get to the next room. Let's say it's the most important part of Barbie and nearly every little princess and girl. The wardrobe!
It wasn't like a wardrobe at all. It was a big room with different ways and different things to discover.

the center part

another view of the center
the purple wall is from her shoe cabinet

The shoe cabinet's wall was purple and  had a shoe print on it. You could discover various shoes there.

a screen with limited edition Barbie dolls and a documentary about
the process of painting and decorating a doll

one of the hand painted dolls

This was a quite interesting part and we even watched the documentary, because it was so interesting to see the process of it.

Slowly getting near the wardrobe:

Nikki directing you to the shoe cabinet 

Raquelle directing you to the jewelry and accessories  

Midge showed the direction to the hat section

and Teresa showing the direction to the clothes and purses

 With your friends directing you through your wardrobe you will never get lost in it. ^^

Barbie's super huge wardrobe

Everyone needs such a wardrobe. I would finally get all my dresses in there without any problems. ^^"

After we were through the huge wardrobe and the shoe cabinet we made our way to the airplane to get to Paris - the city of fashion. 

Actually we thought we're going to enter a new elevator to get back to the ground floor, but when we entered we were told we had to fly to Paris. This was so funny, because I was a few weeks earlier in Paris. Remember the DIR EN GREY concert? XD

like a real plane XD

a short video of the plane

He was asking everyone if they had all their kids together. So nobody get's left behind. 

Barbie as captain is talking to us XD

Finally we arrived in Paris. Everything went fine and nothing was delayed or such things.  

First we looked around, because we couldn't decide what to do and after a little stroll we went to see the Eiffel Tower. XD 

looks like the real one XDDD

the drawing and hand crafting section

In this section you were allowed to colour in pictures of Barbie. You also could stick rhinestones and feathers onto the pictures. ^^

the wall with some pictures

We decided that these were for parents to chill, while their kids had fun drawing and styling Barbie's hair or preparing for the catwalk and the the popstar stage.

Now comes the special part which you had to pay extra. It's the catwalk and the popstar stage specials.

make up section for the kids to get ready

the catwalk

and the popstar stage

It was so funny to watch the kids do that. It were mainly smaller ones who couldn't even remember the choreography they had learned a few minutes ago. XD"""
Especially the ones at the popstar stage. It was just too funny. *tehe* 

The annoying thing was that they always used the same Barbie song over and over again.

Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse "Everybody needs a Ken"

Nearly at the end of the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience!

Barbie's awesome camping van

The van was a small cinema and they screened all the Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse Episodes there. So funny, but I already knew all of them. That reminds me that I need to watch the new episodes. XD

After we were finally finished with everything we left Paris again and suddenly we were at the Barbie Dreamhouse merchandising shop.

I even took pictures of it. As everything else it was in a Barbie themed pink. ^^"

looks like a purikura machine ^^

The wall reminded us of a purikura machine, with the styled girl and a lot of accessories around her. In that case it was Barbie with her beloved things, but could have been a puri machine. XD

Barbie's Dreamhouse

In the shop you could buy a lot of things, especially things from the Dreamhouse show, like Barbie's pets, her Dreamhouse and a Barbie doll styled like in the show. There also was some stationaries and other Barbie stuff.

After that we decided to take a break and get something sweet. We went to the Barbie Cafe, which also was in a pink theme, and had cupcakes.

like a real Barbie Cafe ^^

our cupcakes ♥ 

I had a peach flavoured cupcake and Lulu had a lime flavoured one. Even when it looks like it's totally chemical, especially in the topping, these cupcakes tasted pretty good and gave us the needed strength to go back home. ^^

After more than four hours in pink we finally left the Barbie Cafe and took some last pictures.

the exit

And two short videos of the exit, so you can see what was on the walls. ^^

the picture I coulored in, my ticket, a leaflet and a notbook.  

After that we were super exhausted and pretty tired. Our feet hurt so much and even my back. To be honest even my eyes hurt a bit, because the lighting in the Dreamhouse was so awful with all the pink spotlights.

Nevertheless we had a fun day and it was totally worth the money. I never expected it to be this much fun!

my outfit

It was inspired by Teresa. As a child I loved her and she was my favourite doll. She has brown hair and mostly was dressed in purple clothes (at least as a princess ^^) and I loved it that she wasn't as pink as Barbie always is.


Outfit rundown:
