Rothenburg Day 3 - Candy Day

On Sunday was another event organized by "Candy Day" - it's a meet-up series organized by Hoa in the area of Frankfurt. But sometimes she organizes Lolita meet-ups in other cities too.

In the morning we had to get up really early, because the meet-up already started at 11:00h. The first programm point was a guided tour in Rothenburg. At first I didn't really listened because I'm not a huge fan of guided tours, but then I started to listen and it was really interesting! I learned a lot about the city. If you are in Rothenburg, I recommend this guided tour. But I felt that it was a bit too long in the end, because 1.5 hours are too long if you are dressed in Lolita ^^'''

Then we went to Hotel Eisenhut for our lunch. In this hotel, JetJ also did a photoshoot! The organizers put a small package filled with sweets and a postcard at each table! Especially the postcard was a nice idea, so you have a memory of this event :)

A few pictures of our table and room:

Then it was time for the outfit contest. It was like yesterday, you had to come to the front and present your outfit. But this time, not many people participated. I didn't participated too because I was so exhausted from the day before that nearly everything I wore was uncomfortable for me, so I removed all my jewellery and even my petticoat and put it in my big bag. So I was too lazy to put everything on again for the outfit contest ^^'''

During the outfit contest our food arrived, which was horrible because I was very hungry and wanted to start eating, but I didn't wanted to be impolite. So in the second the outfit contest finished, I started eating xD

But I was VERY disappointed by the food. We paid 26€ for it, and it was really BAD for that price!!!

First course was salad - it was ok but quite small.

Second course was Spaghetti - it was very small! I even had a bigger portion then the other people at my table and it was still small. But at least it tasted good.

Third course was joghurt mousse with fruits - it was HORRIBLE! The joghurt mousse tasted like a convenience product and the fruits were canned! Half of them were still frozen!!!

I can't believe that I paid 26€ for this, I mean it was a 4* hotel, how embarassing is this for such a hotel!!!

Then it was time for the ruffle and the announcement of the outfit contests. You could win the catalog of the JetJ photoshoot! What a nice idea, but I didn't won anything.
Here are the winners of the outfit contest:

After this we went to a park to take pictures. I don't know why but Ami and me didn't heard that they wanted to take a group picture in the park, so we totally missed it! I usually NEVER overhear such things, so I was very sad when I saw the group picture a few days later at Facebook >_< When Ami and me arrived at the park, we saw some pretty roses behind a big house and directly went there, so we couldn't see the other girls taking the group picture >_<

But still here it is:

Now the pictures of my outfit:

 Then we were tiered and decided to go back to our hotel, even if it was only 16-17h. Since our tour guide recommended to climb the city wall which surrounds whole Rothenburg, we did so. It was very scary for me because I'm afraid of heights ^^'''

At our way back to the hotel, an american tourist came and wanted to take a picture of my outfit. And after this, he gave me 2€ !!!! How nice of him xD

In the evening we went to a japanese restaurant. Everyone ordered a melon cream soda as a drink because it sounded so delicious! And it was indeed :)

I don't have a picture of my food, but it was very funny that every meal got potato salad and cabbage salad as a side dish xD. I'm pretty sure that this is not japanese food, but I guess in Bayern you need this xD. And for me it was perfect because I love potato salad and even ate the left-overs of my friends because it was so delicious *_*

This day was awesome again and I'm thankful for the organizers who put so much effort into this 2 day event! I hope next year there will be such an event again!

We also stayed another day and left Rothenburg on monday, but since we did nothing interesting, I will not post about it ^^

Rothenburg Day 2 - Lacebook Tea Party

On Saturday we had a lot of time to get ready. The Tea Party should start at 14:00h, but we arrived 1 hour earlier to take some pictures in the garden. I wore my new "Innocent Rose" JSK, which I bought during the Btssb Sale, after I saw it in the Paris shop and fell in love with it! I bought it 1 week before the Tea Party and I didn't thought that it will arrive in time, BUT it arrived on Thursday evening! Sooo lucky :D

Then it was time to enter the Tea Party! When I entered the room, I entered Lolita heaven *_* Not only the room was pretty, but also the table decoration was incredible beautiful! I never saw such beautiful decoration before. You could really see how much effort all the organizers put into this Tea Party!

Our table neightbors:

The fans were presents from the Tea Party. Very good idea, because it was really hot that day!

The food was already prepared at each table. I think this is a good idea, so nobody needs to wait in a queue at the buffet in order to get some food. I almost directly started to eat because I was soo hungry xD. Only downside was that they didn't prepared enough hearty food. They only had 1 sandwich per person and we thought that they would bring more sandwhiches, so I directly took 2 pieces. When I realized that there wasn't enough, I gave one sandwhich to another person. BUT it really wasn't a big deal, because there was MORE then enough sweet food for everyone! There were Macarons <3, raspberry cakes, small cupcakes, mini-cakes with lemon and basilicum flavour (sounds strange but was delicious!) and many other sweets.

We also had a timetable prepared at each table:

14:15 - Time for eating // 14:30 - Outfit contest // 15:45 - Workshop medieval dance // 16:30 - shops opened // 17:00 - raffle // 18:00 - end

First take pictures...

...then start eating! *nom nom nom*

Then it was time for the outfit contest. Everyone who wanted to enter should come to the front and present their outfit with a small text. I'm not sure if I liked the idea, because I think many girls were too shy to enter, therefore many girls with amazing outfits didn't entered the contest. But I wanted to enter and I convinced Ami to enter with me as twins, thought our outfits weren't true twins, we only had the same dress xD

After the first girls presented their outfits, I realized that the Tea Party theme was "Rococo Fairy Tale". I totally forgot about the theme, so within 10 seconds I prepared our speech and told everyone that we would be "The double Lottie" (Das doppelte Lottchen) - Lolita Rococo Princess version xDDD. Haha okay I know it was a bit silly and I think everyone knew that I just made it up, but whatever xDDD

After this we had time to eat, talk and taking pictures. But after a while I got a bit bored. I think there could have been some games, so you could interact more with all Lolitas and kill a bit time while waiting for the photograhper. We had 4 photographers which was A LOT, but with 50 Lolitas not everyone could take pictures at the same time, so waiting time was there.

Pictures with the photographers (they weren't taken all at once but I just put them all here xD):

Then they announced the medival dancing lesson, and Ami and me decided to join the lesson spontaneoulsy. It was organized by Jasmin and she did a great job!!! Medival dance is perfect for Lolitas! Only downside was that there were some perfectionists in the course who asked tons of questions. Of course it's okay to ask questions but this course was only a 45 minutes crash course, not a professional course were every step should be perfect ^^'''' So we only learned a sequence of 20 seconds. But in medival dance, you often repeat the same steps again and again, and you just change your dancing partners after every sequence. That means, even if our sequence was 20 seconds long, you could do this dance for several hours if you want!


Then it was time for the raffle! They had many small prizes, and even if you didn't won something during the raffle, you got another small prize. But honestly the raffle only had "small" prizes, I think it's good when all prizes have nearly the same value. I even won something, a necklace by Li-Paro! I'm happy about my prize because it has real flowers in it, and I love flowers <3

Then they announced the winners of the outfit contest. The girl who won started to wear Lolita only in October 2013!! I really couldn't believe it because her outfit was perfect, and I wear Lolita since 4 years and still don't look as perfect as her <3. All attendees of the Tea Party could vote for the winner, but then the organizers announced a second prize which was decided by the organizers only. They said that there were many girls with great outfits which didn't entered the contest, so they gave their prize to such a girl. I think her outfit was amazing too, but honestly ALL outfits were amazing!!

First Winner

Second Winner

Sadly some of the brands which were announced weeks before as ruffle donations + shop stalls weren't actually there (Lady Sloth, Ophanim tights, Poppemonica berets). This were the brands I was mostly interested in xD. I guess the brands didn't ship their items in time, or they were stuck in customs.

At the end of the Tea Party I was hungry again and wanted to grab some more food. I don't know why but our table had NOTHING left, while all other tables had some food left xD. I guess we were the most hungry ones xD. So I went to the other tables to ask for more cupcakes ^_^'''''

Then was the obligatory group picture and after this, the Tea Party was officially finished!!

Some more pictures of the room:

In the evening we went to a restaurant and cocktailbar again. But we were a bit unlucky... first, we invaded a very small restaurant which didn't expected that many people, so we had to wait nearly 1 hour for our food (thought the waiter announced it at the beginning, so it was okay, and the food was delicious). And then we had to wait 1,5 hours for our cocktails! Well not all people had to wait that long, but since we were sitting at the end of the table, we were one of the last ones who got our cocktails. But nevertheless, we had enough stuff to talk about so it was ok ^_^
