Anyways, I've placed an order to Rose Melody through Qutieland to get their Rose Crucifix JSK - I'll let you know how that goes in a couple of months!
ANYWHO... on to today's post!
My brother has recently discovered the magic that is the musical "The Phantom of the Opera". So we have rewatched the 25th Anniversary show something like twelve times. That got me thinking of different lolita coords that would compliment some of the more prominent characters. The ones on today's focus: Christine Daae, Carlotta Giudicelli, and Erik (The Phantom).
A simple coord inspired by Christine Daae. Many people, I think, would put her in white. But I think that is an overglorification of her "pure"-type character. This coord draws mostly from her "Notes/Twisted Every Way" costume, where I think we see Christine's mentally-weaker side, where she completely loses it, just before she goes into "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again". I didn't giver her any real jewelry because she is, in all honesty, a simple girl, who doesn't need to be showered in luxury.
Carlotta Giudicelli - Christine's loud-mouthed, sassy, Prima-Donna rival as leading soprano at the Opera Populaire - and for whatever reason, she is one of my favorite characters. Possibly because she is everything I'm not: spoiled, gaudy, attention-seeking, elaborate. Choosing AatP's Masquerade Theater print for this is a no-brainer - it is a busy print inspired by The Phantom of the Opera!
And finally, we come to Erik - the Phantom of the Opera. Darn, I forgot to include a mask with this. Bust is it necessary? Not really. A unisex Gothic Aristocrat look, accented with the classical rose motif that he loves. And what is a Phantom without his cape? The frilled blouse with removable neck ties is a great piece of detail.
So, what should I do up next? How about... Madame Giry, Meg Giry, and the Music Box?
