HalloWien - the people make teaparties special ♥ (Part I/english)
Every two year my local lolita community hosts a big teaparty. This year was one of those years!
HalloWien - a spooky gothic lolita event next to the cemetery! was this year’s name and the first time that our teaparties had a kind of theme. Of course it was up to everyone to come as they like, but you could expect much more gothic lolitas than usually. After Metamorphose and Innocent World as guest in previous years, 2017 special guest was Korean designer Haenuli. She showed some of her famous dresses, as well as some new ones in the fashion show!
Beware, a long, rambling & very excited retelling of the HalloWien-teaparty follows after the cut! ♥

For example A Full Moon Night ♥ I hope I will loose some weight eventually and get my hands on the JSK-Version. At the moment I just don’t fit into the largest size offered :/ Otherwise it’s an absolute dream dress for me! I’ve been dreaming for years about a moon cycle print and Haenuli seems to have listened to my dreams! ;) ♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you Haenuli!
Besides Haenuli’s beautiful dresses you could also admire a lot of other fancy dresses at the teaparty of course. Everyone dressed to the nines!
I know talented Selene was rocking a handmade outfit she made just in time for the event, but she was far from the only one to let their creativity shine! A German lolita (I believe her name was Lydia and we also talked on Sunday at the bring & buy event - if it’s you say hello!) was wearing a simple yet elegant black velvet dress and told me about another dress made from tulle, which unfortunately drove her crazy & thus couldn’t get finished in time for HalloWien.
Isa, from the local community, made an extravagant halo headpiece that could even light up! She wasn’t only a vision in white but a true enlightenment! :3
All the talking to be had with nice people at the teaparty was truly my highlight of the day! It’s always awe inspiring and fascinating to admire all the beautiful outfits, how everyone cooordinates in their own way or what they have made themselves to go with it - but without the people within all those fancy dresses would be just empty shells. That would be pretty boring! You need the people within to bring the outfits to life and let them shine! ♥ Everyone has a story to tell!
Already while going ot the event I was pretty much enclosed within my lolita bubble. I was writing back and forth with my friend Sarah from Saki’s Forestglade Jewelry . We were both just so excited for it! Like two years ago already at the Meta teaparty I was helping her selling her beautiful handmade jewelry at the stand.
Of course, like a good shop assistant-chan should, I was showcasing some of her jewerlry: a necklace with an anatomical heart, similar to this one. I just had to buy it at last year’s Pop up Lace & Teaparty and it was just the right centerpiece for my Queen of Bats-ensemble.
Quote of someone at the teaparty “It’s pretty dangerous to wear one’s heart around their neck.”
My comeback: “Who says it’s my heart?” ^_~
On the way to Concordia Schlössl - the absolutely fitting location for this year’s event, Sarah and I could already help some lost people, who clearly were also trying to get to the HalloWien event. Inside the tram we also met another lolita and we concluded how nice it is that you can always tell who’s going to a lolita meet-up, even if you have never met those people before! It’s like a secret code and no bystander is ever the wiser that you weren’t already friends before! :3
One of the great things about the big teaparties is that you always get to know new nice people and you can meet up again with old acquaintances and your friends too! ♥ Though it isn’t always that easy to actually recognise your friends, as it’s pretty common to wear wigs in lolitas. It can also be disorientating to see a usually always sweet wearing person in head to toe gothic lolita.
I want to repeart some of the nice conversations I had, who ultimately helped making HalloWien the amazing day it was! Like I said, for me the magic comes from the people! :3

Me: With your fairy wings you look like you flew here from Sweden! So beautiful!
Her: I did fly here! Literally! But with the help of a plane :D
Katrin always manages to create magical outfits, she’s got a very special lolita style. That’s the reason she has been (and is!) a big inspiration for me. It was great to see her again, live and in colour (just look at her hair!). ♥

The stunning Daga was really impressed by my dress and couldn’t believe that I transformed my blouse (okay, it was really a cutsew) from a plain oversized t-shirt.
Daga: I’d have to hate you, if you weren’t such a nice person!
And the same to you Daga ♥ She’s unbelievably talented in her own ways and you just wouldn't ’t be able to stand that with an asshole person. Sarah commented on our verbal duelling with “disch!”, “disch!” noises. (It's German onomatopoeia for something hitting something else). Daga wasn’t the only one to compliment me for my dress, it felt like half of everyone there told me they loved it! ♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you so much!! Even Haenuli commented on my dress and told me she liked it and we had a brief chat about how special it is to be able to design and make your own dresses! :3

Another funny story regarding my dress came up with Federica. I told her how happy I was that finally a pattern worked for me and that everything now fits like it should. I’ve modified a pattern I bought and finally everying worked like I imagined it to! Previous tries were unfortunately not as satisfying.
Federica and I joked how it was eerily like someone took my exact mesaurements and made a dress for me with them. Very weird..! ^_~

I also got a lot of compliments for my make up look (there will be another post only about my look & outfit, what I made for it, etc), which made me really happy! My eye make up doesn’t show up that well on camera, but I know it was amazing & enough other people told me so too! I was so happy to get compliments for that, as I’m a big make up noob and had been training especially in preparation for the teaparty! (Thank you to my friend Kimi who helped me with that :3) I especially remember the positive comment by the girls from Lady Sloth, as the both had beautiful make up too. And obviously the comment by Jassi: “Amy, you look absolutely unsubtle today!” And she liked that. Jassi, together with Dani, is something like the mother of our local lolita community and also the head of our lolita club. Her approval felt like I made my parents proud and I was just super happy about that! ♥ ♥ ♥

Another funny situation happened with Margit - the day of the teaparty was her birthday! So, we were basically organizing the whole thing just for her! ^_~ Facebook remembered me about her birthday in the morning, but for once I remembered the date on my own as I had previously talked with Margit about the lucky cooincidence. I didn’t congratulate her on facebook on purpose, as we would see each other on that day anyway and I’ve decided it was way nicer to congratulate her in person! And what happened? the first two times I saw her I completly forgot about her birthday! Then I finally remembered & was laying in wait for her. While we were taking the group picture my time had finally come and I could jump & hug her and tell her happy birthday! ^_^
Working at a stall obviously entails talking with your stall neighbours - for example with the very nice Miss Danger to our left, who’s already been our neighbour (to the right) at the Meta teaparty. Or with the nice folk from Li Paro vis-a-vis. Carmen’s partner was sporting a shirt with the quote “we are the weirdos mister” on it. It’s a quote from the cult movie “The Craft”. A very cool shirt und of course I also told him so - I didn’t only compliment all the lolitas! ^_~
On sunday, at the bring & buy market, Li Paro had their stall right next to Saki’s Forestglade Jewelry and we had the opportunity to talk some more. Those two were very nice, I hope to see them again at another teaparty! :)
Even more time to talk was to be had at Tuesday, after the teaparty. The Russian delegation and a couple of us from the local community went to the Ronacher theatre to see “Tanz der Vampire/Dance of the Vampires”. The love for vampires knows no bounds nor borders!
After the musical we went to cafe Mozart and talked a lot - obviously at theatre you’re supposed to be quiet. There I told them about my visit to Tanz der Vampire in the year 2009, where I saw two people in the audience who’s make-up look and dress was just like the actors one’s! Even better almost, very grandious! :O After the performance they wanted to take a picutre in front of the big teeth and they asked *me* to take a picture of them. Maressa and I simulteanously shouted out “Senpai noticed me!” and that was a very funny moment! ^_^
The Russian lolitas were so nice, I wish I could afford to attend their big teaparty in Russia. They told us about their program and it just sounded sooo good!

Finally, all the lolita fun came to an end this friday. I met up with Mimic to visith the “mothership” of Textil Müller - the headquarter in Kritzendorf. Mimic had heard so many tales about Müller, that she just had to see it with her own eyes. Seeing is believing, as she was still amazed how cheaply you can find fabric & lace there!
“3€/m for this lace”?? “Nope, 3€ for the whole thing!” ^_^ Obviously I talked to many more people, who each helped make the teaparty the best day ever or well really the best weekend! Even if they haven’t been mentioned here, every single talk was special and meaningful in it’s own way. I will fondly look back to this beautiful event and gain motivation and inspiration from it! ♥ ♥ ♥
