The Governess and The Charge

Happy Halloween y'all! Here are the photos from our self-conducted mini photo shoot! These were shot a day before we left Manila with the help of my tripod and remote---so pardon me if you see me clutching it in my hands on these photos. Last year, I dressed up as Japanese cellist/singer Kanon Wakeshima in Gothic Lolita fashion which you can view here, with my good friend En. My peg this year is the evil version of a governess. I was taking a shower that fateful afternoon when the idea sprang to my mind. Haha! Think Maria of Sound of Music, Jane Eyre, Miss Minchin (though she's already evil) all combined together to form one hell of a governess. Haha! I'm just so fascinated with the idea of being a governess at the moment since I just recently watched The Sound of Music (the film) and Jane Eyre. My sister, Natasha, is my charge here. Together, we form The Governess and The Charge From The Dead, Miss Jones (from my name Jonessa haha) and Tasha. *evil laugh* 


I'll keep this post short as I'm currently in Bicol and I'm supposed to prepare the Banoffee Pie for tomorrow's celebration right about...now. So...ciao bellas! Hope you like it! :)

 XO.

'Coz Halloween's The Perfect Time To Play Dress-ups

Hello guys! Before I start off this post, let me just greet y'all a Happy Halloween first! There. I'm actually feeling better now and today I have something really special to share with you all! Yesterday, I spent majority of my afternoon at En's place conducting a Halloween (mini) photo shoot. While I was practically achoo-ing almost every minute when I was sick with the flu and was fairly miserable, I was concocting a 'lil something-something for the blog. When I finally got better, I immediately called for this shoot!

On to my costume then!

I dressed up in the gothic lolita fashion of Kanon Wakeshima, a Japanese singer/cellist. I adore her so much because she's very talented (she sings, plays the cello, and draws pretty well!) and she has this sweet and spooky look going on for her all at the same time!So whatcha guys think? Since I didn't have any gothic lolita costumes on hand, I improvised by wearing my 4th year HS prom gown and tucked all the excess fabric inside my hot pants! HAHA! Then I just wore my white blouse underneath and pinned my black ribbon on the collar. :)

And because I don't play the cello, I figured I'd just use my violin instead. Here's my violin Scarlet making a cameo here on the blog! :)

En dressed up as Wednesday of Addam's Family. She looks creepy right? Haha!

And this is where they mistook me for the Mad Hatter. Probably 'coz of the tea party set-up and the red hat. :)
Here's En wearing my 'Lil sis' cute pink tutu skirt and playing the part of...Hmm, I dunno, Dita von Teese? :)
Well that was certainly fun! It feels so good to see the ideas that you have materialize right in front of you through the photos that you see. God, I love Fashion and dressing up. Haha! Hope you liked the photos and the looks that we came up with!

So who/what are you guys going to be for Halloween? :)

'Til the next post!
