Metamorphose Temps de Fille has unveiled their WINTER COLLECTION! Under the title “Heart Leopard Series”, this collection brings an interesting twist to Metamorphose’s Fashion House. Following along the lines of the “Punkma Cowboy “ collection, “Heart Leopard Series” steps out of the box with an unconventional Print and new cuts. The new collection has some interesting pieces. Metamorphose likes to try new things, and this collection reveals rain boot like shoes, which at first seem very odd and out of place, until a sample co-ordinate is shown. The same thing goes for the new pants they have released. An interesting spin on the leopard print, revamping it to a modern Lolita print leads to unique style and expression. This collection will be available for reservation on October 11 and midnight, Japanese time. They also come in two different sizes. http://www.metamorphose.gr.jp/english/_new_items/winter_collection/index.htm Concept drawing of the Leopard Print Circular Skirt --09/26/08- New Metamorphose Collection Released!

4. Sign Up! Artist of the Month~ RazorBladeKisses Formed at the height of the millennium in February 2000, RazorBladeKisses is a unique band comprised of an unusual blend of varying talents. Hailing from distant Persia, the two female vocalists Layla and Azadeh create unique lyrical and dark melodies, which are ever contradicting, genre defying and teasingly challenging to musical boundaries. RazorBladeKisses deliver what can only be described as the secret recipe for a twisted dark fairytale that would have children crawling into corners clutching their dolls and toys. The contrasting chapters of this fairytale can conjure back haunting memories from the days of childhood and yet be so fragile, soothing and dreamy as to accompany the listener on the saddest days of a cold autumn and chill the soul on a summer night. The haunting harmonies and sweetly spooky stories unfolded in the bands eerie, ethereal and enchanting sound scapes are innocent, yet deviously deceiving, seductive and edgy. Whether in a dollhouse or in the deepest core of the enchanted woods, the audience is presented with an elegantly constructed performance that is an intriguing, sensuous and playfully sinister aural and visual musical feast. www.razorbladekisses.com or Join the community for all aspiring or admiring North American Gothic Lolitas!

9. Sign Up! Designer Blog~ --09/01/2008- Baby San Francisco Store to Open!! That’s right! You’re not daydreaming! Baby the Stars Shine Bright is opening their very first American store in San Francisco! All you Californian Lolis sure are lucky to have this honour right in your own backyard. Baby has been in business since 1988 and opened their first international store in Paris in 2006, and after 20 years they are finally formally immersing themselves in the North American market. The announcement on their website reads, “ Baby’s first retail store in the US will open in San Francisco, CA, Spring 2009”. They require someone who is fluent in Japanese and English, and who can work a full-time schedule. The deadline to apply for this job is September 15. This would be such a dream job *eyes twinkle* Imagine, wearing BTSSB clothing, engaging with other people interested in it, working in a complete Lolita environment! It would be so perfect ^^ According to their website, an English version of the website itself is also in the works! Even though ordering over seas is already available in English, and entire English website will be a big help! Personally, I can't wait for the English store, its about time don’t you think? Slowly but surely, Brands are realizing their potential internationally, and hopefully more brands will follow Baby’s lead and extend their reach – to the stars above!
