Personal music updates!

Welcome back! ꒰๑˃꒵˂꒱◞ ♪⋆ฺ｡

Today I'm going to talk again about music - this time on a more personal level!
As some of you might already know I am active as a singer/songwriter in some musical projects.

Somehow these projects also reflect the diversity of my own taste in music. I love metal and classical music, but also have a big soft spot for jazz and funk, acapella singing and many more. People love to put others into categories and so it has happened to me that people reacted surprised when they found out "Oh, she does listen to something else but metal".

Shocking, right?
Let me show you a bit of this musical diversity I'm talking about:

✵Music Discoveries: Ghost ✵

...it has been a while since I wrote about a new music disovery!

This time I'd like to introduce a Swedish band which doesn't only have a very interesting concept, but also some addictive music up its sleeve:

Life Update: cakes, bands and dresses!

Hello hello,

It has been a little quiet around here recently, but at least I'm not letting this blog die off completely xD
I'm in the middle of my preparations for taking entrance exams, so I don't have much time to do anything else - except when some special occasions occur!

Last weekend two of my bandmates from Daedric Tales celebrated their birthdays and I decided to surprise them by baking cupcakes and a cake for their party.

I tried working with fondant for the first time and it was rather giving me a hard time, being all bitchy and tearing on the edges of the cake, so I had to take it off the cake again and smooth th edges out completely.

The end result looked like this:

Day 2 – 10 things you love in lolita

Good evening everyone!

Today is Sunday and I was able to wear Lolita for meeting up with my band members from Desire .
I'm a big Emily Temple Cute fan and one of my favourite dresses of theirs is the "Alice Tea Party" JSK which I wore today!




On to today's challenge topic!


01. To feel as if you just descended from another planet. A frilly one of course.

02. The shape of the clothes. Full, poofy and all romantic.

03. The cuteness. In my opinion nothing is fuller of cutesiness than dresses with lots of frills, lace and adorable prints on them.

04. Spending time with other Lolitas and of course, making friends :)
It's just so nice to have some buddies with whom you can babble freely about all things Lolita.

05. All the different sorts of things to wear on your head! All the bows! Hats! Bonnets! Wigs!

06. Second hand shopping. If it weren't for second hand stuff my closet would probably be all empty.

07. Bags of all shapes and sizes. Gone are the days of boring bags in similar shape; in Lolita you can literally get it in whatever shape you desire, no matter if star, heart, book, ribbon, candy, bear, horse, bunny....etc.

08. I'm totally addicted to well written Lolita blogs, as well as interesting vlogs. Sometimes I just spend my time watching Lolita themed channels on YT.

09. Crazy things you stumble across when you're interested in Lolita related stuff. Like the movie 'Kamikaze Girls' which I adore to bits!

10. Lolita fashion magazines. Every time I have the opportunity to grab one of them, I do. I could spend hours drooling over beautiful coordinates and sometimes I imagine what I'd buy if I had all the moneyz x'D

Ah...all the Lolita joy...
thinking about all the beautiful stuff makes me love Lolita even more!

Thanks for reading & see you tomorrow :)

Newsflash 1.0

 Heya!

Once I'm here already, I figured why not throw out another post...


I know it's already out of season by now - but I anyways wanted to post the two vlogs I filmed during Christmas time for my YT channel purplecatbaguette .

...


What else have I been up to recently?

During the past few months I've been playing several live gigs with my band Daedric Tales and finished working on the first mini-release of my other band Desire, which is going to be released soon. (I also put up a new facebook page for Desire, check it out if you like ;))

In autumn I changed university studies and currently I'm studying Maths (YES Maths, this is not a typo xD) and preparing for an entrance exam at an fh.

I've totally fallen in love with Lolita fashion again.
For a while I didn't wear it too much, because my petticoat had deflated and I was missing some other items that would have been handy for coordinating (I somehow find it really hard to acquire nice blouses and tops which go well with Lolita.)

However in the course of the last year my closet gained a few basic items that are pretty nice to combine with Lolita and I wanted to wear it more often again.
With the beginning of the new year I also got a new skirt from Emily Temple Cute and another headbow from Angelic Pretty, aswell as... a petticoat :D

So whoopie! The fashion fun can begin now once again!


I haven't been photographing as much recently. I still have tons and tons of polaroids to scan though (and scanning polaroids is a pain in the butt, so it won't happen anytime soon I assume xD)

Another fairly new developed passion of mine: I listen to Death Metal
I used to despise any sort of growling a few years ago... and now under the influence of Metal festivals and my band members from Daedric my musical taste has been taken to the next level x'D

I guess these are all the shocking news for now :P



Have a good night or day, wherever you are!
Thanks for reading!

Wie in den guten alten Zeiten

Hej everyone!

Yesterday afternoon another Daedric Tales rehearsal took place and there was a lot to do!
We had lots of parcels to unpack, because a new mixer and other equipment we had ordered had arrived!

...so the whole studio looked like a huge mess - empty cardboard boxes, bubble wrap and plastic lying around everywhere!

And that was just not only chaos,
no - this was a perfect scenery for the usual Daedric Tales madness to take place!

See for yourself...

Everything began with Yra hiding in one of the boxes! 

Here he looks like a dinosaur baby which just broke out of his shell, hahah.

Yra: 'Come on! Grab your instruments and let's sit in the box!'

Matze got wrapped up in bubble wrap and was being punched by Daniel and Alex while Yra kept observing the operation 'torturing Matze' closely xD

Yra and Matze found pieces of polystyrene and turned them into cup holders which they can use for festivals. Another artistic pose and voilà !

...

As you can see it never gets boring with Daedric Tales around! ;)

(Seriously, if I'd take a picture every time some madness is going on I think I'd be able to fill up a trizillion albums in a few months xD)

But this means - you will be able to enjoy DT madness first hand!

...

What kind of equipment did I use?

Camera: Fuji Instax mini 7s

Film: Fujifilm Instax mini

...

Thanks for stopping by!

See you soon! :)
