Untuk kedua kalinya gw mengikuti event HF (Yang pertama, gw ikut tahun 2012 di Balai Kartini dan gak ikut lomba, cuma pengunjung yang cuma cosdress abal aja )

Foto-foto acara HF8 tahun 2012

Dan tahun ini, gw iseng mau meremaikan kostumasa di kategori costreet. Yahh kebetulan ada ide dan partner yang mau ikutan juga. Untuk HelloFest tahun ini, gw berusaha untuk menjadi trend fashion Shironuri di Indonesia. 

Bagi yang belum tau apa itu Shironuri : http://www.japanesestreets.com/market/Shironuri 

Shironuri bisa dibilang Sub-culture antara French dan Japanese. Ada bagian-bagian menarik pada Shironuri selain muka yang keseluruhannya adalah putih bersih. Shironuri juga kretip dalam menghias atau melukis di sekitar bagian mata yang akan menjadi nyawa fashion di shironuri ini. Terkadang eyelash juga menjadi jurus jitu dalam shironuri. My inspiration dalam shironuri adalah Minori. Dialah yang menjadi icon fashion shironuri di jepang.

Bagi yang kepengen liat karya-karya Minori sebagai Shironuri di jepang bisa di Like Fanpage FB-nya: https://www.facebook.com/minori0000

Untuk kostum shironuri kebetulan temen ada yang punya baju dan rok lolita rampel. Karena memang pada dasarnya Shironuri juga hampir mirip dengan Lolita :))

Untuk persiapan sebelum hari H mungkin butuh 3 minggu untuk prepare bahan bersama-sama dengan kak Jelly. Yeahh, lumayan makan waktu apalagi banyak kendala-kendala pada kesibukan masing-masing (oke, lama-lama gw curhat disini). Gw dan kak Jelly dateng ke HF pada tanggal 10 November 2013, hari Minggu-nya. 

Kebetulan sesampai disana pukul setengah 10 lewat dan sudah banyak orang-orang yang mengantri untuk membeli maupun menukar tiket di Tiket Box. Gw menunggu kak Jelly yang masih dalam perjalanan. Sesampainya kak Jel di JCC, gw janjian untuk ketemuan di pintu gerbang kedua. Untungnya di HF gw gak sendiri karena ada abang gw yang ingin ikut masuk juga, dan kak Jelly juga bawa adeknya Fuad (yang notabene juga temen gw dulu di DN) jadi abang gw ada temennya selagi gw ama kak Jelly ke Check Point hohohhooo.. Setelah daftar ulang dan mengambil nomor peserta, kami langsung ke tempat ruang ganti. Awalnya, gw ama kak Jel ganti di ruang theater pemutaran video pendek karena misscom dengan penjaga (entah itu crew atau satpam) yang bilang tempat itu adalah tempat ganti kostum juga. Udah setengah makeup, gak taunya kami dan orang-orang lainnya yang juga ganti kostum disitu di-sweep (yahh bahasa kasarnya dipindahkan massal) ke tempat seharusnya ruang ganti kostum yang sudah disediakan oleh panitia. Namanya juga belum tau, jadinya gw agak sedikit menggerutu saat itu. Ya iyalah menggerutu, secara gw udah pake pidih seluruh muka. Nasib udah kayak buronan nyari ruang ganti kostum sambil nutupin muka pake jaket :"(((( Sesampainya diruang ganti, muka gw meleleh karena pidih yang gw pake mencair brooohh.. Alhasil gw bersihin lagi pake tissue basah (males ke kamar mandi karena mesti turun ke bawah). Setelah bersih-bersih muka gw akan pidih dan kak Jelly juga udah gak repot masang softlens dengan kaca yang kekecilan, finally, gw dan kak jel sudah siap untuk makeup. Tapi, untuk makeup, gw dan kak Jel udah gak make pidih lagi, melihat kejadian gw make pidih baru sebentar panas-panasan sudah meleleh gak karuan, akhirnya kak jel punya tips baru, yaitu memutihkan muka mulus layaknya Minori hanya dengan memberi pelembab, BB Cream dan yang terakhir adalah bedak tipe 01 (pokoknya yg paling putihlah) merk La Tul*p (sedikit sensor) dengan bedakan entah berapa kali pokoknya bener-bener putih bangetlah, dan yang terakhir baru main custom dimata with eyelash & manik-makin, juga eyeshadow <3 p="">

Hasilnya sesuai dengan keinginan kami. Alhamdulillaahhhhhhh~ Puji Tuhaaannnnn ~

Sebenarnya untuk tema yang gw ambil sendiri ini, selain Shironuri yang agak abal dan mencolok di bulu-bulu yang gw custom di bawah kelopak mata, pada nyadar juga gak kalo misalkan gw gak make hiasan mata dan segalanya, itu bisa gw ubah jadi cosplay Megurine Luka :v /

Tadaaahh~ It's me, Souuu ~

Beberapa foto-fotonya ketika menggila kayak Mokocchi disana LOL:

Masih banyak foto-foto lainnya yang masih di kamera kak Jelly ;;w;;

Dan kebetulan abang gw dan Kak Jelly juga membuat videonya di youtube (Terima kasih @Nanda_Utd & @quirkyjelly) :')

Dan ini beberap jarahan gw di HF. Sayangnya gw gak beli doujin maupun unofficial artbook. Kata temen gw disana banyak merchand" menarik. Sayangnya gw baru bisa ngider setelah jam 5 sore ;;w;;

Semua yang gw beli rata-rata adalah karya anak bangsa dan isinya memang menarik dan patut dibaca

Untuk HelloFest tahun ini mungkin kalo gw bilang tergolong cukup sukses walaupun ada juga minus-minus point-nya. Semoga tahun depan bisa lebih seru lagi ~

Oke, sampai jumpa lagi di event selanjutnya. Bagi yang foto-foto ama kita tolong comment yakk atau Follow dan mention gw @Lowdly_blood (Nocchi wink)

ショップ

数日前。私は、私の地域のショッピングセンターの様々な買い物をしすぎていた。どういうわけか、多分私は洋服、メイクもファッションに関連するもののための意思の買い物をしたかったので (*￣∇￣)ノ

ファッションやファッション関連、私はあまりにも多くの化粧品を買った。コスプレのために、主に化粧品。確かに、私の意図は、コスプレ用のメイクに使用される機器を購入することです。私はメイクに加えて機器を購入したいが、あまりにも多くのもの (-- ___ --" )

したがって、私は他の目的のために私のお金の一部を取っておくのに十分な安い商品をけちけちして選択しなければならなかった。9月にAFAコンサート、同様に、コスプレウィッグ、11月にONE OK ROCKのコンサートだけでなく、他の目的を購入する。 

この目的のために、私は、7月と8月の余分な節約を保存する必要がありますww

私は先週買ったことのいくつか

私が買った化粧品がたくさんあるため。最後に、私はコスプレの化粧品のためにそれをしようとすることを決めた (o^^o)

と、ああああああ〜 嬉しいです〜

私は今回のメイクアップ化粧の結果に満足している。多分、私はAFA2013でそれを試してみます

その日にも、化粧を破壊される場合、私は疑問（笑）

Maybe, 月に、私は私の髪ピンク紫の色を染めるだろう。私はサロンで色に機会があると思います。。。( ′ᴗ‵ *)

Hopefully, these strong ties still exist without the other disputes.

Historical of Art Deco

Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style which had its origins in Paris in the first decades of the 20th century. The style originated in the 1920s and continued to be employed until after World War II. The term "art deco" first saw wide use after an exhibition in 1966, referring to the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes that was the culmination of high-end style moderne in Paris. Led by the best designers in the decorative artssuch as fashion, and interior design, Art Deco affected all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, including architecture and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as painting, the graphic arts and film. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional and modern.

Art Deco moved away from the soft pastels and organic forms of Art Nouveau and embraced influences from many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, includingNeoclassical, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued strongly in the US through the 1930s.Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative.

Art Deco experienced a decline in popularity during the late 1930s and early 1940s, but experienced a resurgence in the 1960s with the first book on the subject by Bevis Hillier in 1968 to coincide with the Minneapolis exhibition and continued with the popularization ofgraphic design in the 1980s. Art Deco had a profound influence on many later artistic movements, such as Memphis and Pop art.

Surviving examples may still be seen in many different locations worldwide, in countries as diverse as China (Shanghai), the UK, Latvia, Spain, Cuba, Indonesia, the Philippines, Argentina, Romania, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, Brazil, Colombia, and the United States (primarily in Miami Beach, Los Angeles, and New York City). Many classic examples still exist in the form of architecture in many major cities. The Empire State Building and Chrysler Building, both in New York City, are two of the largest and best-known examples of the style. Riga, Latvia has the largest collection of Art Deco/Art Nouveau buildings in Europe.

History

After the Universal Exposition of 1900, various French artists formed an informal collective known as La Société des artistes décorateurs (the society of the decorator artists). Founders included Hector Guimard, Eugène Grasset, Raoul Lachenal, Paul Bellot, Maurice Dufrêne, and Emile Decoeur. These artists heavily influenced the principles of Art Deco as a whole.

This society's purpose was to demonstrate internationally the leading position and evolution of the French decorative arts. They organized the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes(International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Art) in Paris, which would feature French art and business interests. The terms style moderne and art deco both derive from the exposition's title, thoughart deco was not widely used until popularized by art historian Bevis Hillier's 1968 book Art Deco of the 20s and 30s.

In the summer of 1969, Hillier conceived organizing an exhibition called Art Deco at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, which took place from July to September 1971. After this event, interest in Art Deco peaked with the publication of his 1971 book The World of Art Deco, a record of the exhibition.

Atrributes!!!

Art Deco was an opulent style, and its lavishness is attributed to reaction to the forced austerity imposed by World War I. Its rich, festive character fitted it for modern contexts, including the Golden Gate Bridge, interiors of cinema theaters (a prime example being the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California) andocean liners such as the Île de France, Queen Mary, and Normandie. Art Deco was employed extensively throughout the United States' train stations in the 1930s, designed to reflect the modernity and efficiency of the train. Around the world, a number of amusement parks were constructed in inter-war art-deco architecture, of which surviving examples include Playland (New York) and Luna Park Sydney.

Art Deco made use of many distinctive styles, but one of the most significant of its features was its dependence upon a range of ornaments and motifs.

The style is said to have reflected the tensions in the cultural politics of its day, with eclecticism having been one of its defining features. In the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the distinctive style of Art Deco was shaped by 'all the nervous energy stored up and expended in the War'. Art Deco has been influenced in part by movements such asCubism, Russian Constructivism and Italian Futurism, which are all evident in Art Deco decorative arts'.

Materials and design

Art Deco is characterized by use of materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, lacquer, Bakelite, Chrome and inlaid wood.Exotic materials such as sharkskin (shagreen), and zebra skin were also in evidence. The bold use of stepped forms and sweeping curves (unlike the sinuous, natural curves of the Art Nouveau), chevron patterns, the ziggurat, the fountain, and the sunburstmotif are typical of Art Deco. Some of these motifs were ubiquitous – for example, sunburst motifs were used in such varied contexts as ladies' shoes, radiator grilles, the auditorium of the Radio City Music Hall, and the spire of the Chrysler Building.

1934 Chrysler Airflow sedan

Nash Ambassador Slipstream sedan.

A parallel movement called Streamline Moderne, or simply Streamline, followed close behind. Streamline was influenced by the modern aerodynamic designs, including those emerging from advancing technologies in aviation, ballistics, and other fields requiring high velocity. The attractive shapes resulting from scientifically applied aerodynamic principles were enthusiastically adopted within Art Deco, applying streamlining techniques to other useful objects in everyday life, such as the automobile. The Chrysler Airflow design of 1933 was commercially unsuccessful, but the beauty of the design, being functional rather than simply tacked on ornamentation, provided the lead for more conservatively designed pseudo-streamlined vehicles.

Streamlining quickly influenced American and European automobile design and changed the look from the rectangular "horseless" carriages into sleek vehicles with sweeping lines, symmetry, and V-shapes that added to their mystique of speed and efficiency. Nash Motors introduced the modern fully-unitized body (monocoque) design for the low-price market in 1941 that featuredfastback “Slipstream” models with high prow-like hoods, and art-deco "speed lines" in sweepingchrome grilles and parallel bar trim. These aerodynamic-looking designs were applied by automakers and continued to be popular in the sellers' market after World War II. These "streamlined" forms began to be used in the design of mundane and static objects such as pencil sharpeners, refrigerators, and gas pumps.

Art Deco celebrates the Machine Age through explicit use of man-made materials (particularly glass, stainless steel and the new plastics), symmetry,and repetition, modified by Asian influences such as the use of silks and Middle Eastern designs. It was strongly adopted in the United States during the Great Depression for its practicality and simplicity, while still portraying a reminder of better times and the "American Dream".

Streamlining was geared towards simplicity, the idea that less is more. Eliminating elements that cluttered a given building, painting, or chair was the focus of this new development of streamlining. This simplicity is portrayed through the use of crisp, symmetrical geometric forms. Streamlining enables diverse furnishings to coexist seamlessly with in one space.

Lots of art from the Art deco which attract many people, and provenart is very valuable. And many objects that are used, making the number of art are created.
