Posted 29th April, 2010 by

Minasan!  Konichiwa!  O genki desu ka? In English that roughly translates to “Hello everyone!!!  How are you?”.  Why all the Japanese you ask?  Well I thought I’d share with you some little tidbits and (a sneak preview if you will) of a costume I am working on.

Why Hello There!

Hello my lovelies!  Clara Cupcakes here, resident hula hooper, fan thrower and aficionado on all things baked and sugary.  I thought I would start my string of postings by introducing you to my delightful namesake and how I came to decide on my bejeweled alter ego.
