Ok this is mainly one of my Rants i guess but i felt the need to post some news.
First off my newest Zori Arive probably Tomorrow (maybe today) i am very excited, overall my Rakuten expirience was not bad. I just probably won't use them offten... mainly because even though the shoes were just under 9 USD with the shipping it ended up at 30+ USD anyway... but i do think it may be my go to for shoes still because of the veriety...
Second, i just wanted to inform every one i have desided on the color i want for my Prom kimono... Purple, a deep plum color would be prefrerable. Overall i think my Prom Houmongi will be the most expencive kimono i will get untill i have a solid carreer. I'm really glad i am strating my hunt early because i'm finding the color i want is a bit... well... hard to find... but it does exsist, the trick is to find something in my price range... right now my range is around 100 USD but untill my mom gives me an officall budget and i crunch some numbers it will still be my range... because i have lots more accesories then the average prom dress buyer... lols.
in other news. i still havnt received any hint from Naomi/The Immortal Geisha about shipping, not even a confirmation that she got my address... its making me a bit fidgety because i really want this prize i won... i have already desided not to enter any more raffles so i don't want this huge fish to be reraffled.... meh, Naomi if you can hear this please send me a sign that you got my adress!!! lols just kidding but i will send her a question on say saterday if i havn't heard from her by then.
Also my newest Plush toy came in the other day, Its a Nemuneko or sleepy cat. i desided to name mine Suzu. i'll post some pics of her As soon as i get some pics....
Finaly i just wanted to post a warning. I have a Proceeder/ surgery on monday... it may be some time before i post any more kitsuke pics... It all depends on how my smile looks really. Its an oral surgery because i have a missing tooth so i should finaly be getting my fake tooth... it may be a few weeks before i am comfortable with smiling and thus posting pics of kitsuke... because lets face it i'm a smiler in frount of cameras... i don't show to may other expressions when some one else is takeing my pics. oh well thats all for now.

updates
Yes this is just an update post because a lot of stuff has come in and the whatnot the last week-two weeks. As i made a quicky post all of you know i have a Hime cut now and i'm lovin it but my hairdresser didn't just comb it down and snip... somehow she had some hair pulled back so when my long hair isn't pulled back the shorter level look like its only 1-2 inches/ 2.5-5 cm... but when i pull back my long hair it looks a whole inch/2.5 cm wider... its kinda fun...
Oh well on to more important matters. I now have a second pair of zori, thease fit better then my silver pair, they are a bit widder so my feet don't hang off the sides. I'm still not sure how much myfeet are suposed to hang off the back but i feel a little better about this pair, its not like i try and jamm my whole foot into this pair or zori (i now know you are only suposed to slid it on about half way up your big toe or something... The zori are Tatami style, but they are not really tatami... they do have nice rubber soles though and so i won'tg be afraid to wear them out after a rain storm.
My newest Kimono, a cherry patterned Komon Came in the day before yesterday. it has a matching Haori which excites me. both are wool but i feel its not super heavy wool... i still won't wear it in summer outside... that would be suicide. I got a matching Tsuke obi to go with it but when it came i found it was an incompleat Tsuke obi... it had no ties or hook on the tare part... so i will finish it.
I got my juban drycleaned so i should beable to do a photo shoot soon.
Lastly: I found out that there is a vintage kimonoshop on the outskirts of houston, which for me is about a 2 hour drive but if i whent out there for a day trip then its not that big of a problem... i would like some company. I hope to go down some time in july and buy some kimono goodies! (its pretty inexpencive)
Well thats all for now, i should be having a kimono photoshoot tomorrow. Iwill post pics as soon as i get around to it. Bye bye!
