Hi all! I'm sure everyone knows about the horrible tragedy that's stricken Japan. I donated some cash as soon as I could, but I was so touched to see so many lolita artisans crafting for Japan that I decided there was more I could do.

Hey all! Just wanted to let you know that Amaranth Opulent is going to be vending at the Brazen Betties Vintage Expo and Bettie Page Look-A-Like Contest in Torrington, CT. It's this Saturday, 12/11 from 11-5, and there are going to be some amazing vendors and events, so if you're from the area, come out and see us! I'll be at a booth with a few other lolitas as well as a close friend who makes accessories and jewelry inspired by Pin Up. Here's the event information: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=174199199261427 Hope to see you kids there!

I've had so many ideas for new pieces and photos (I've even been drawing again!) that I can't even keep track of them. I need to draw up some new sketches ASAP so I don't forget what I'm doing! My current project has just been added to my F/W lineup and is inspired by magpies, Dolly-brand jewelry, Grimoire, and my ridiculous obsession with clumping together things that wouldn't usually go with each other. Yay for being back in the swing of
