Anonymous asked: I've been reading about your hair care routine and I am amazed... do you really wash it everyday? I'm too lazy to do that xD And is not annoying to sleep with your hair wet?

I do not wash it everyday, but every two day. ;) When I was a teenager, I used to wash it every day, but at a certain point, my hair started getting weaker with age, so I switched to washing hair every two day. I do not really mind sleeping with wet hair; I just wrap it in a towel and go to bed that way. I have always done that, so I guess I am just used to it!

Anonymous asked: Just wondering, are you interested in classic literature? If so, who are the authors you're mostly fond of? :)

I am! I quite like Edgar Allan Poe and Victor Hugo, but it is so hard for me to choose favourites. Authors sometimes write one wonderful book, while the rest of their work is not as good. In general, the books I read are chosen by type of book more than by author, with the exception of Amélie Nothomb (not classic, but she might be my absolute favourite).

crowfether asked: Hi, this may seem like a random question, but is your hair naturally curly?? If you do, can you tell me how you style it? Cause it looks amazing and i can never get my hair to be that nice and well behaved XP

My natural hair is wavy/slightly curly like on this picture. The wonderful curls you see on pictures like this are made using the rag method. I suggest you search for “rag curls” on Google. ;)

Anonymous asked: What is your job?

I am a professional translator, and I am currently working for a big Canadian retailer. All in all, my job consists of translating from English to French any documents for this company (this means financial PowerPoints, store communications, marketing, ads, website… anything really). I answered a question regarding the job of a translator here, and my educational path here. :)

I bought them in one of the stands in Camden, London. However, I cannot remember the brand. :(

Anonymous asked: Hello! I was wondering what brand petticoat you wear when you wear fuller dresses or outfits that aren't casual? You always have the perfect amount of poof!

I have two identical chiffon petticoat that come from a local punk shop called X2O. There is no brand name on the tag, so I guess they are offbrand? I use only one for everyday outfits and I layer both of them for more poof.

Anonymous asked: Is your sister a lolita too? You are seriously the most pretty lolita I have ever seen <3 to be honest before I found your tumblr I thought people dressing up as lolita was a bit weird, but seeing you omygosh it looks so classy and beautiful :)

No, my sister is not a lolita. Here is a (back) picture where you can clearly see our different styles:
