{Anime North 2012}

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been super busy and now I’m at Anime North until Sunday night!
Anime North is the biggest anime convention in Canada in Toronto Ontario.
If you are here holla!

I’ll be selling some of my doubles at the Nominoichi garage sale tonight.
Love you see you soon!

Will definitely cheat and make sure there is one review per day by the end of the month! PROMISE!

I have Returned

It’s May first and I am back from the dead.
Although I’m still quite busy, the school part is done and I’ll replace it with this.

Good news? Despite being super busy down time was spent reading so I have a huge list of manga to review.
I literally have 8 tabs open right now (crazy).

May not only brings the end of school.
It’s my birthday.
And Anime North is coming!
If you live in the GTA in Canada lets meet at Anime North!
This sounds like a reason to celebrate to me, don’t you think?

I’m celebrating by putting up a review once a day for the month of May!

I’ve made promises before but I’m really dedicated in making it up to you guys.
I never wanted to neglect the site and am, as I always have been, extremely passionate about shoujo manga.

Hope you guys enjoy!

This weeks song is for all you Tron/Daft Punk Geeks!
This is a mix of Derezzed done by my good friend and Convention DJ, DJ Janos.

{Here’s Whatsup}

I know I know I’m just full of excuses but I’m just gonna be honest.
From now until the end of April I’m definitely not going to be able to post a lot… maybe at all.

I’m in my last two months of College (WOOH!) so there’s that.
The party store I work at is under major renovations (broke all my nails and millions of cuts ;_;)
I even pulled a 14 hour shift this past Saturday. (Pro)
AND on top of all that I’m currently trying to put in 20 hours a week at my internship.

Now, in return for your patience I have so AWESOME ideas planned for the future of “Your Gimmick”.
My current work at a small production company leaves me in charge of the social marketing online.
This means I’m pretty much getting hours for school by researching ways to effectively market a website/company/brand online and creating communities.

Here’s what you can look forward to in summer 2012:

  • A Yaoi themed branch off site run by my two close friends.
  • A Facebook Group with a lot more options for sharing articles.
  • Contests! Awesome contests that include shoujo manga and merch.
  • Twitter to update you quickly whats going on, on all the sites.
  • A news website dedicated solely to what’s happening in the shoujo manga world. (maybe)
  • A Forum hopefully eventually when there are enough readers

My aim with all of this is to get YOU GUYS involved!
I want to get a community running that celebrates women/girls in the manga fandom.

In the meantime:

  • What are you reading right now that I haven’t reviewed yet?
  • What are some other things you would like to see in this community?
  • What are some prizes you would be interested in for contest?
  • Any ideas for contest?
  • Other then manga for the community would you also be interested in Fashion, Beauty (Gyaru), Kpop/Jpop?

Finally: Remember to keep an eye out for this blog.
Watch me on Blog Lovin and any other RSS programs you use.
Get yourself in a position that you’ll be ready when this site really gets going so you can be fully involved!

{Merry Christmas~!}

Hey I know it’s a little early but if you’ve followed this blog for the past three years you would know that I go away every Christmas. I leave tomorrow morning (5 hours! Eeek!)

To Ottawa, the land of old people and no internet connection.
At least they have Anime Extreme although I dunno if we will have time to go u_u.

I’ve been trying to post but it’s taking a super long time and I’m totally sorry about that.
Either the server or wordpress is dicking around, either way I don’t like it.

~Changes~
*New layout with graphics from Pureblood Boyfriend (8 months… awkward.)
*Tag board is going to disappear because it’s no longer free, any recommendations for alternatives?
*New grading system out of 5 instead of 10. (We all know I only did 5 anyways so no need to change the rest)

Anyways I wish you all a safe and happy holiday/Christmas/Hannukah is still going!
I’ll be back Monday so I can wish you guys Happy New Years so don’t worry bout that ;)
