Thank you to Candice for this lovely photo. This is one of the few I am actually looking remotely relaxed in from this set. It is near impossible to take a decent photo of me under stress as I tend to look like a sleep deprived hag before, during and after events, but Candice captured me nicely. </div>

Now, lolitas use wigs for many reasons, such as their haircut not being suitable for lolita, or their hair too fine, too thick, unhealthy, or simply just wanting an easy, polished do in any colour under the sun without too much effort - it takes enough effort to just dress, so wearing a wig may as well make the process a little easier. <br />
<br />
I wear both sweet and classic, and both styles encourage the use of natural hair, or at least, natural looking hair. And I thought to myself that my hair is pretty healthy (virgin hair says my current hair stylist Lidija at Anton's) and a nice basic lolita style and colour, so why not incorporate that instead of hiding it?<br />
<br />
I admit, I am pretty time poor, and particularly when I am running ODIP with a full time job I don't have much time for extras. I find it hard to schedule in a haircut most weeks, which was pretty important in my hairstyle to maintain as my fringe grows at the rate of knots. So when I had a meet on, I went to get my hair styled at the hairdresser's, thereby killing two birds with one stone. Let's take a look at some of the styles I tried in 2012.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Librarian's Expo, February 2012 & Supanova Melbourne 2012</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dead straight and librarian-like. Pretty easy, and how I usually wore my hair for conventions in 2012. No muss, no fuss and the emphasis is on the cut. </div>

Rococo Picnic, March 2012</div>
<br />
I wore Mary Magdalene's Bertille Rose OP for this picnic, and since it was a large classic meet, I wanted a nice style to go with it. I picked a braided style, much like the Vm models. Unfortunately we were rained out that day,and the only photos I have of it are me looking drowned rat-like. My apologies, but you can get the gist of it below. The smart version can be found on Instagram as I have already uploaded it there.<br />

My parents live 4 hours out of Melbourne. I don't get to see them much, and they very rarely see me in lolita because of it so I thought I'd wear my Mary Magdalene Antoinette Fleur OP to see them. I tried a double bun style; what do you think of it? Too sweet? An interesting take on classic? I decided not to use it again for the upcoming Antoinette meet.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Antoinette Meet, July 2012</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This meet was dedicated to those who bought the Mary Magdalene Antoinette Fleur OP in the year's reserves. I thought an extravagant OP warranted an extravagant do... and so with two stylists armed with curling wands and 90 minutes later, my hair was a mass of ringlets. Cue attendees patting my head gently at Polly's and wondering if my hair is a wig. The talented Samantha Ee of <a href="http://reclog.wordpress.com/">reclog.wordpress.com</a> took the first and third photos as well as originally arranging this collage.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Renovations take 2 weeks, and we open our new store on the 13th October. Attendees all loved the new changing area at the back so much that they spent most of the day there. I relocated from Melbourne to Adelaide temporarily. The two black x white photos of this unforgettable day are by the lovely Candice, who came from Sydney for the opening. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One Day in Paradise bades farewell to its VNV Fitzroy location, making One Day in Paradise at Kanga Kanga in the CBD its only Melbourne base. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">ODIP also turned 4 on the 5th December, close to International Lolita Day! No annual party this year as things were a little too hectic. There is a 'Welcome to Kanga Kanga' one in the works!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I also signed up for an <a href="http://www.instagram.com/onedayinparadise">Instagram</a> account in preparation for this blog. You're most welcome to follow me, and if you are of the lolita persuasion I will most likely follow you back. I'm just about to start uploading a lot of my lolita photos to it, so it's a work in progress.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In 2013, there's much more to come! Hopefully through this blog, you'll follow ODIP's journey to its 5th year in Australia.</span><br />
