\u00a0She had me at tea party.<\/em><\/p>\n

If anyone ever<\/em> mentions a tea party, I’m in. It doesn’t really matter what it’s celebrating or where it is, I all about\u00a0anything related to\u00a0dress up or\u00a0pretty foods. In this case, however, my cousin\u00a0asked\u00a0me to help her plan and host a Lolita<\/a> tea party for\u00a0her sister’s birthday. Of course I accepted the offer, then proceeded to procrastinate so that I ended up having to make about 5 different dishes two hours before the party. All in all, things turned out pretty good, though. Take a look at the spread below.<\/p>\n

\"photo<\/a>\"2\"<\/a>You’d be surprised how versatile cream cheese is and how many different times you can cram it into one dinner menu\u00a0without anyone really noticing, so long as you use a little food coloring and creativity. I made tea sandwiches, vegetable canapes, scones, and stuffed tomatoes, while my cousin supplied all the desserts (no damn way could I have made those petit fours). Note the wide-eyed and mega kawaii food pics contributing to the tablescape, courtesy of my brother<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a>Out of the five people in this tea party, only two have an actual knowledge of what Lolita style and culture is, so it was pretty neat\u00a0to see everyone’s take on the theme. Check out the fashion A game my grandmother (and really, everyone) brought to the table. My outfit features a skeletal\u00a0belt from restyle<\/a>,\u00a0a Bodyline<\/a> petticoat, underlashes from Dolluxe<\/a>,\u00a0along with an assortment of offbrand pieces.<\/p>\n

\"photo<\/a>The best part of the tea party was this prop filled photo area my brother set up for the party. Photo booths really bring out the (darkly\u00a0fashionable) hams in us all.<\/p>\n

\"photo<\/a>We also played a few rounds of “Lolita Bingo”–a totally ridiculous game I made but didn’t have the sense to take a picture of–and one of the winning prizes was a pack of fake mustaches. Hence, this happened. Also, my grandmother smoking a breadstick–that is all.<\/p>\n
