Masumi Kano and Mitsuba signing event photos and report!

Earlier this week designers Masumi Kano and Mitsuba from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright and Alice and the Pirates visited our store - now it's time for some photos! They were happy to see so many New York area Lolitas brave the 95 degree heat to come visit them, and everyone looked great!

Here they are with our shop staff Megan and Tara before the event started:

We split people into groups of ten to avoid overcrowding on the sidewalk - during our event with Misako Aoki, we were literally stopping traffic in the street because of the size of the Lolita horde!  Our system this time worked well, but it meant a bunch of smaller group photos rather than one big one.

These are some of the people in a couple of the middle groups waiting to get into our store:

Inside the store, Mitsuba-san and Kano-san greeted everyone individually, signing postcards and personal items and chatting too.

They also took individual photos with everyone.  We won't post all of these on our blog (there are a lot of them!) but we may put them in our site photo gallery later.  If you were at the event and didn't have a camera and would like a copy of your individual photo, let us know and we can email it to you.

Here's group 2 lining up inside our store:

And here are all the group photos!

Thanks again to everyone who came!  Hopefully we can have another event with Mitsuba-san and Kano-san sometime soon!
