Music and I

Hello there! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I've been wanting to write a little more about one of my biggest passions on this blog: music!

As some of you might know, I'm generally a metalhead with a preference for symphonic and melodic metal, but also a liking for death metal ;)
Classical music is also one of my favourite styles of music. Other than that I also listen to a whole bunch of more music, stylistically spreading all over jazz, medieval, pop and a bit of electronics like industrial.

In general I always give music a chance, but at the same time I think I'm quite a critical listener. What makes or breaks a band for me in 90% of the cases is if the singer is good or not. That way of listening to music might of course occur because I'm a singer myself or because of my pickiness with voices xD

I've been part of multiple bands and projects and am really thankful for all the great opportunities I've had so far.

My most active one at the moment is Daedric Tales, an Elder Scrolls themed symphonic metal band.

A peek into my wardrobe and a big unboxing

Hello hello!

Iiii got a new blog header ～♪ how do you like it?

So I actually had intended to do a wardrobe video this year and I even filmed it.
But oh well... it shouldn't happen it seems!

When I tried to open the video in my editing programme it told me that the file was broken... (一。一;;）
I don't really know what to do.
Neither am I an expert on video editing programmes nor do I know how to fix broken files.

Makes me sad that all the effort should be in vain, but oh well. :(

I took a few pictures of it at least:

I'm back with a tag

Hello there people and welcome to 2015!

This blog has unfortunately been inactive for over half a year now. Time just swept by and I was all busy applying for a couple of courses of studies. Eventually I passed an entrance exam and have been studying there since last autumn. The general workload is quite big and during exam periods I'm just impeccably stressed and busy.

Nevertheless I hope that I will be able to share some bits and pieces of my life here again on this blog and also do that more frequently!

I'm starting off with a tag video I already filmed at the end of December!
I did the Harry Potter Tag! :D

Randomness #01

About something I found a few days ago...

I've been adoring deerstalker pictures video projects for a long time. They make such beautiful, hilarious and creative Lolita themed videos :)

Their newest video though is my favourite so far! I already watched it a billion times since it was released three days ago x')

It's the first part of a documentary about 'The Secret Life of the Lolita' ; which showcases a rare glimpse into the daily life of a Lolita ;)

I looove it !

Haha, I wish every day was like that... hunting postmen and getting parcels filled with beautiful dresses ;)

What do you think about this video?

Enjoy!

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!

First vlog !

I completed my first vlog!

It's in German though :)

Enjoy!

A peek on...

I've actually been wanting to share some of my vocal practice, but whenever I film myself I find it to be waaay too embarrassing to actually share it with others ...

...

In the first place filming myself while singing is all for my own sake - I can see (and hear) my own faults and flaws better and it helps me to reflect on what I did wrong & to do it better next time ;)

At the moment I'm not in my best shape vocalwise, but I'm working on improving !

So ... here we go... *embarrassed* (｡＞0＜｡)

(Remember: this is not a professional equipment/microphone for recording vocals ! It always sounds different live ! Plus the video's quality is not very high either - I used a rather low resolution to be able to upload it.)

Never mind ... I had fun at least ヽ(;´ω｀)ノ

My first video all about my practice ...

(Had to rip it in two parts - blogger didn't seem to be able to cope with too much awesomeness at once. Just kidding ;P)

And YES moving weirdly helps me during practice.

LOL when speeding up the vid my moves look hilarious hahahah...

If you dare to, tell me you're honest - and constructive - opinon, to hear such is my actual reason to upload this here.

Thank you for watching ღ
