Hello Princesses and Princes!
I have been getting some e-mails and messages regarding some confusion about the gathering, so I hope this post can answer some of your questions!
Are only girls invited?
Everyone is welcome! Boys, Girls, every age!
Do I have to have be invited on your MySpace to attend?
Nope! It is open you everyone!
Is it your birthday party?
Nope! My birthday is in April ^_~ It is a costume gathering that is princess themed.
Do I have to bring food?
You do not have to, but it is encouraged, as I cannot be suppling food. I suggest that you bring enough for yourself and perhaps some to share with your friends! Think of it a potluck lunch.
Why is it on a Friday? I work on a Friday!
I'm very sorry but I deliberately made it on a work day to keep the number of people down. This is the first event I have ever hosted so I need to see if I can handle a smaller amount of people. If it goes well then the next picnic will be on a weekend! Secondly the park is incredibly busy on the weekends, Id rather have a quiet atmosphere <3
Is this event the masquerade ball you posted about earlier?
No. This is a separate event. My friends and I are planned to hold the ball in October of next year, I will post more info on that at a later time.
 ~New Additions to the Picnic~
* There will be a picnic blanket decorating contest! Whoever has the best blanket will win one of my hand crafted items!
* There will be live music provided by classical guitar performer Jamie!
If there are any other question please feel free to ask <3 See you on the 14th!!

Your Hostess,
JoEllen

Hello everyone! I wanted to tell you of a special event that I am hosting. A “Princess Picnic” at Lake Balboa November 14th Friday at noon.
I invite you to escape from your everyday life to join my friends and I for a afternoon of enchantment and celebration of romantic fairytale princesses! Come to the lake and cherish the beauty of nature while sipping tea under the trees.
~Dress code~
What is a Princess Picnic if you can't dress up!? A dress code is encouraged of Elegant Lolita, Himegyaru , Romantic Fantasy, Victorian, Rococo, Renaissance, I encourage you to wear what ever it is that makes you feel like a Princess.
~Things you will need to bring~
A picnic blanket so that you have something soft to lay on. A picnic basket of your favorite food and drinks, also teacups and napkins. I'll be sharing my favorite homemade tea blend with everyone, and I hope that you can bring your favorite teas to share as well! Lastly admission and parking is free!
Professional photographer Indigo will be photographing the event and posting a gallery on his blog. Indigo has a way of capturing magic in his lens that you never knew was there, and I am honored that he will be covering the event! You can view Indigo's work on his website.
For directions to Lake Balboa visit google maps HERE.
Any Donations will go towards the betterment of the gathering!
So roll yourself in glue and bows and come over to the picnic! It's going to be a Princess extravaganza! More sparkles than you can shake a stick at! You will be throwing up glitter by the time I'm done with you!! If you have any questions please feel free to ask on my journal HERE.
XOXO
JoEllen (Lillyxandra)

The Mermaid photoshoot is up on Indigo's Blog! Ill be posting more photos here on firefly-path.net later.
As much as I love the Disney version, the original Hans Christian Anderson tale of the Little Mermaid has always struck a cord in me. For those of you who have not read it the prince ends up marring a princess from a neighboring kingdom. The little mermaids' heart breaks and she turns to sea foam.
I wanted to shoot a few of those scenes. The mermaid saves the prince from a sinking ship and watches over him for a while on the shore. Before he fully conscience and aware of what has happened a young woman from the temple runs down to the beach to find the prince. The little mermaid hides from the temple girl and watches her carry him away.
I wanted there to be a stark contrast between Brittney (Temple/Princess) and Vanessa (Mermaid). Everything about the mermaid is unearthly like her scaly shimmery skin and her clothing made of kelp. In contrast Brittney has a angelic bright face like an angel in the prince's eyes who has come to save him.
I wanted to thank everyone who made this happen! Vanessa, Brittney, and Paul you guys go far beyond anything I could ever ask for from my models! Thank you for getting soaking cold and wet for me! Diana who supplied Brittney's costume and make-up for both Brit and Paul, they looked perfect! Dave for the spectacular lighting and of course Indigo for taking photos of my dreams <3

Hey guys a fairy needs your help!!!
Now that I have your attention I'm asking for your help on behalf of a young make-up artist who's goal is to raise enough money to make it to Faerie-Con. Her name is Kate and she's on a mission to spread her love though the art of faerie make-up! Did I mention how incredibly talented she is? Just check out her live journal (Elfstruck Make-Up) that shows step by step tutorials as well as video tutorials on how to do make-up that is truly other worldly.
She asks for a small donation of $15.00. If you do so she will sign you up for a weekly newsletter with two step-by-step picture tutorials, some make-up tips, hair-dying tips, etc.
Every little bit helps, I absolutely love seeing what she comes up with. If I could afford it I'd have her fly out to help out with my own fairy shoots!
Click HERE to find out how to Donate, and even if you don't donate stop by her LJ and stop by and give her some encouraging words, she's amazing!!
XOXO

Hey there folks! I though I'd share a preview of my new Pink Fairy costume. It one in a series of four different masquerade/ballroom fairys. I'm having three beautiful cosplayers model the green, purple, and blue fairys. I have two done and two to go! I'll be posting a video blog about this project once its completed documenting my designs coming into full fruition.
This is a huge project I've been wanting to do for the longest time, I'm so ecstatic that the talented Indigo will be shooting the entire group. <3

A few months ago my friend Gavin asked me to play a part in his BattleStar Galactica fan film. Being a huge BSG fan I happily agreed to help. It was the first time I tried acting. In doing so it made me appreciate the time and effort that gos into making a production happen. In the end I had a lot of fun but I don't think I belong in front of the camera. Im perfectly happy being a "behind the scenes" type of person. You can view the film on Sci-fi's website

Anime Expo!
I can't believe expo is only a few days away!! I've been sewing till my hands are sore in preparation haha. This year I'll be bringing three costumes for myself which include: Millerna (Escaflowne), Absinthe Faerie (Original), and Katy the Cat (Unico). In addition I've made an Allen Shizard (Escaflowne) costume for my boyfriend Matt to accompany Millerna and an original mermaid costume for my friend Vanii for a fantasy group with my Absinthe Faerie.
I'll be promoting the DVD release of "Unico" in my new Katy the Cat costume. I'll also be one of the judges for the masquerade, it's such a great honor, such a great pleasure! I know every cosplayer brings their best costumes to AX and I eagerly await to see what crazy new costumes cosplayers have come up with this year!
See you there ^_~
