h.Naoto's Christmas Party from last Saturday


After going to h.Naoto’s fashion show last month, he then invited us (everyone at the show) to come to his Christmas party on the 10 of December.  At first Tatiana and I decided that we wouldn’t go since we didn’t have any girly, Lolita clothes to wear.  However I changed my mind at the last minute, because I really wanted to go and I didn’t care if we were dressed differently.  It was a good thing that we did because we ended up having an awesome time.

So last Saturday Tatiana and I went to h.Naoto’s Christmas party!  We have decided to name ourselves the “Psychedelic Dream Team” because so far we’ve managed to make our dreams come true 3 times already, which was meeting our favourite designer.  (We chose the ‘psychedelic’ part from our favourite Japanese band, X Japan’s slogan “Psychedelic violence, crime of visual shock.” -->)

When we went in the shop, all the main shop keepers from the other h.Naoto branches came to the party as well, most of whom we recognised since we always visit the different shops around the city.  They were all dressed in Santa outfits and they checked our tickets and wrote our names down, which made us fell like VIPs.  The people that showed up were customers and fans of h.Naoto. We were lucky because the people there were dressed in both Lolita and visual kei clothes, since h.Naoto designs different styles of cloths.  Meaning that we fitted in this time!


Misako
Midori
At the party we saw two fashion models, Misako and Midori from the Japanese magazine, KERA.  We saw Midori in real life for the first time that day, but it was the second time that we saw Misako because she was one of the runway models at the fashion show.


In order:  Mint, Ibi and Nari
We also saw the members from Sixh.  Sixh is a band that collaborated with h.Naoto to create their own fashion line, which is a mix between goth and visual kei = Ghost Kei. Ibi and Nari were there selling their new clothes and special life sized pillows of themselves called a ‘dakimakura.’  They were going to play a live show at the end but Mint only showed up for a few minutes and had to leave, so we couldn’t hear them play.

We also saw Jun Utahiroba from the popular group called Golden Bomber, who showed up for a little while as well.


When we asked h.Naoto for a picture he said that we couldn't take pictures since it was a special event.  However, he then said that it would be ok if we took the picture on his camera, which would then make it 'Offical'.  Yay!!!!

 I also recorded a crazy video after the party, when both of us were tired but I haven't finished editing it so i'll up load it later.
