People: Annika Victoria

diy panda appliques, dolly platforms from Japan, necklace c/o merrin & gussy

Forgot to ask Annika where she got her bow, top and romper - her whole outfit! Good thing I remembered her post about Snow White/ Poison Apple, so I got the info about her bitten apple necklace. At the end of that post she also left a little science fact/ trivia and I thought it would be nice to repost it here as well.. 

 "Snow White was given a poisonous apple to eat by the evil Queen, but are all apples actually poisonous? Apple seeds contain amygladin, a compound which consists of cyanide and sugar. In contact with digestive enzymes in our body, this is converted into small amounts of HCN, hydrogen cyanide, which is lethal to humans because CN (cyanide) is extremely poisonous in very small quantities, and can kill you in a matter of minutes (it's the typical poison used in old-school murder mysteries)."

Photos by me

Annika was such a doll! I was so excited to take photos of her! Finally, I've got a model who shares the same style as mine. Platforms, check; dotted tights, check; bows, check. We endlessly gushed about Japan, cats, shopping, Australia, parfait, food, among many other things! I told her that she reminds me of Zipper magazine! She also confessed her love for the said magazine in addition to Kera and Nylon. Those are exactly the same kei (style) I'm following!

More about our (together with Luci) adventure soon!
