General updates - contest, new magazines, new SEX POT, Victorian maiden, more!

Lots of little stuff to tell you about over the past few days.  So let's just get to it, shall we?

First, we know that a lot of you are anxious for us to announce our contest finalists.  We will do so shortly.  We took a couple extra days to get organized before we sent everything to Misako and Akira, so we gave them a couple extra days to get back to us.  We should be able to announce the finalists in the next few days.  Note that we are contacting finalists before the announcement, so please be sure to check your email over the next day or two!  (We've heard back from all of Misako's picks so far, so this is more for Akira's upcoming picks.)

Moving on.  Yesterday we received the brand new Gothic & Lolita Bible Vol. 36, as well as KERA Volume 142.

You can now buy these either online or in our store.  (They're a bit cheaper in store - we explain why here.)  Click the links above to get the rundown of what's in each issue.

We'll also be restocking Misako Aoki's Gothic & Lolita Ensemble within the next couple days.

(Some of our customers have gotten confused between GLB and GLE - these are two separate, competing mooks from different publishers, covering the same fashion genre.  Which you'll like better probably depends on your own preference.)

Lastly, we've actually gotten a few new clothing items over the past couple days, including a new novelty item from SEX POT ReVeNGe.  Anyone who spends $100 on SPR merchandise will get either a drinking glass (we still have a few!) or one of these cases:

We're gonna surprise you with which one you get - glass or case.  Color too.  Also a surprise.

We got a few new t-shirts and tank tops from SPR in the same box.  One of those tank tops is already up, but we've got a few more to go.  (We're basically in continuous product posting mode these days - almost every day, something new goes up.)

Lastly, we got a huge Victorian maiden shipment on Saturday - though most of it went to reserve orders.  We really recommend doing that if you see something you like!  You save money and you get stuff that in most cases, we otherwise aren't going to get.  A new round of VM reserves is going to go up in our site within the next few days (ending on the 29th).

But we did restock VM's rose hair accessories, and we got a couple of new dresses for our store - one of which was worn by Midori in the last Gothic & Lolita Bible.  Watch for those to go up on our site later today.
