Sunday was our LAST shoot for LoliGirls before the Fashion Show! It was an exciting, and kind of a sad day. I'm going to miss all the fun shoots! I've really enjoyed filming the LoliGirls...and I'm sure they had lots of fun as well. I'd like to say a special thanks to my dedicated crew who've done an amazing job helping behind the scenes and, most importantly, dealing with me when I'm stressed!

So the day's shoot started at Julia's sister's house in West Hartford. All of the models for the show arrived at noon for Julia's meeting. All the details for the big day were discussed, included what type of loli each girl would model (I will be modeling sailor evidently!). After that Julia took each girl/guy's measurements. Once that was done we were supposed to jet over to Blue Back Square, but Julia informed me that the Fashion Show needed a short commercial to be played during opening ceremonies at CTcon. So we all brainstormed and quickly storyboarded a few ideas. I won't display the commercial here until after the show...I'd like it to be a surprise for the con:)

After that shoot we headed over to Blue Back. It was reaching 3 PM by this point and the air had warmed to a sweltering 85 degrees. The girls huddled under parasols, but I can only imagine how hot they were under all those layers!

I was hoping that filming in Blue Back would get us some good reaction shots from the public. I wanted positive and negative comments to use during a certain point in the interviews when the girls spoke about people taunting them in public. But...everyone was super polite! One group of tweens ran up to the LoliGirls and started asking them about their outfits and complimenting their shoes! All the vox pop interviews we collected were positive and encouraging. Although I was a little disappointed that we didn't get any critical comments, it was refreshing to speak with folks who were supportive of lolitas:)
