Hey all, Gee here! Long time, no post!

Yeeeaaahhh, May was... Quite a month. And then June has barely let me breathe either. My last post was a really long time ago, and I was expecting to do a Naka-kon recap, maybe a cosplay review, how I'm building my first PC with my brother... But unfortunately life threw me about 60 curveballs in quick succession.

Luckily, I was able to get enough off my plate to be able to attend Paradiso! Paradiso, for those who may not know, is a Midwestern lolita gathering, where the first day is mostly shopping, fashion shows, Q&A's, etc., while the second day has a massive tea party and the Midwest Ouji pageant! Back in 2020, I purchased a day one pass, and it rolled over to this year.

Paradiso is hosted in the beautiful Union Station in Kansas City, MO. It's a 4 hour drive for me, so I was up suuuuuper early and didn't bother wearing a full face of makeup. I still think I looked alright though!
