With only 2 weeks till the event, we hope you're as excited as we are! We have plenty of news to go through, from Miss EGL to a special message from Kera/GLB! Don't that ticket sales end soon, so get them quick on Ticketing page! Please read through this entire announcement, since we have a lot of new notes to tell all of you!

Miss Gothic and Lolita USA 2010 update!
 This news will please all those currently signed up, and might sweeten the pot for those not yet registered: NEW PRIZES!!! These include at least two Angelic Pretty OP dresses, and winning carries even more weight now: the winner gets crowned by the event guests, and gets to be in a photo with -ALL- of the guests! Not just one or two, nope, ALL OF THEM. There may be other prizes as well, so if you've been sitting prettily on the fence pondering whether to register or not, now's the time!

Additionally, for those avoiding registering due to being a bit shy or lacking video equipment, the talent section *does not* require a video submission, photos are just fine. So grab those cameras and head over to the event information page  to get signed up!

New Ticketing Perks
VIP ticket holders will be receiving an exclusive Angelic Pretty catalog only available at the event,and normal ticket holders will have other event exclusive items! Also, VIP Ticket Holders have a new event to look forward to! During the VIP only Magical boutique hour on Friday, you'll be treated to trunk show, where you'll be the first people to have access to the merchandise and also nibble on some delicious goodies while having some time with all the designers.

Magical Boutique

    We know how hard it is to get cash on the fly sometimes, and carrying around large quantities isn't always the safest thing. So this year, you can bring cash -or- plastic! Yes, credit cards will now be accepted as a payment option in the Magical Boutique. Think of what you can do with the money you'll save on ATM fees! Just make sure to bring a valid/current photo I.D. with the name on the I.D. matching the name on the credit card, or we will not be able to accept your credit card. If you don't have such an I.D., hurry and get one now!
We will be accepting Visa, MC, AmEx, and Discover.

Also there's going to be more magic in the Magical Boutique!  Special secret time events will be announced during the course of the weekend, and during the tea party.  Ever been to Laforet's Grand Bazaar? Know about the secret timed events? Well you're going to be in for quite a surprised.

Auctions

    We would like to clarify a point regarding the auctions and winners. Please keep in mind that while two seats exist next to designers, one seat is reserved for an interpreter, leaving only one "closest" seat available. Seating priority goes in order of bid amounts out of all auctions, with highest bid overall getting first priority.

There are currently two sets auctions up on our ebay page. One is ending Today, and the other is ending on Wednesday, both at 9 PM PST. After this week, we'll have only ONE SET of VIP tickets left! 

Gothic and Lolita Bible
We've just received some an email from Gothic and Lolita Bible! Kera will be at the event taking pictures similar to the street snaps you see in the GLB for Fantaisies ticket holders only! Make sure to wear your best to the event.

We are glad to know through the “Gothic & Lolita Bible" that the “Lolita” fashion that originated in Japan is loved by so many in the United States.

In the volume 37 of the Gothic & Lolita Bible, we would like to show American Lolita to our readers! I bet Japanese Lolita would be thrilled to see how Lolita Spirit is spreading all over the world!

If you have anything you would like to share with us, please send us an email to below address. Please make sure to include “Lolita from USA” in the subject. You can send your photos if you’d like! But we are not too good with English, so please keep your sentences simple and easy. LOL
