Soon ...

.. I think I'll try to order from Taobao. I really really really want this coat :

It's just so awesome .. Also maybe it would work well for my Ciel cosplay, but I mostly want it for everyday life. I think the vest part is included too. Anyway, it's awesome and I want it. The thing is .. I'm scared to order from Taobao, even with a shopping service. Everything is in chinese and I'm scared of getting the wrong size or something. Fortunately, this coat is also on Qutieland where they put the measurements in english. I thought of actually ordering it from Qutieland but it's way more expensive. From Infanta, the Taobao shop, it's about 65$ [canadian], while on Qutieland it's 89$ [american]. Waaaay overpriced, especially considering it's not even a proper coat for canadian weather.

So, Taobao it is! I just need to save up a bit .. After all, I just ordered a Link wig and christmas is coming .. Anyway, I think I'll order these socks too :

Yay for royalty symbols on socks! They're only about 3$, and I thought I might as well order two items instead of just ones. There's a lot of pretty clothes I wanted too but since the coat is already kinda expensive I'm just gonna buy these socks.

... I wish I were rich D:

Nazi loli?

Well, if you are into lolita fashion, you probably saw Metamorphose's new collection : D.walkure. As the name suggests, it's a collection inspired by army uniforms in general, as there are no emblems to be seen exept the Metamorphose one.

You can see the collection here. Why am I linking you to the japanese website? Well, it's because the collection has been taken off from the english website. How come? Apparently, some people complained that it was too ''nazi-like''. Now, of course it is nazi-like. It's also british-army like, and french army like, american army like and name-a-fucking-army like. BECAUSE IT'S ARMY INSPIRED. Honestly guys, stop seeing nazis everywhere .. And then try to hide them. Yes, nazis existed, yes they did horrible things, but there's no need to demand that a fashion brand takes off their clothes from their website because it somewhat looks nazi, even though we can't see any swastikas.

I think some people complained about the eagle, which, as you know, is another symbol that has been used by the nazi army. Well, newsflash : the eagle as been used as a symbol of power by pretty much every empire, ever. The roman empire, the prussians, the austrians, hell, the AMERICANS. So yeah, no big deal with the eagle, it's a common symbol and doesn't not represent exclusively the nazis.

I don't even know why it bothers me so much. In any case, I think it's pretty stupid to demand that the brand takes off the clothes from the english website just because some people were offended. If you don't like it, don't buy it, that's all. Especially since it wasn't more nazi than any other army-inspired outfits.

Anyway, I'll end my rant now .. real post about my life later :B
