But, anyway, it's time to announce

Dancer Of The Week~ Week 1 February
Hello you, I hope you're good!
I'm not feeling too good today, so I'm sorry if this blog post doesn't make much sense haha!
So it's time to start dancer of the week again!Wohoo!
If you don't know what it is you can see the first post here
Before we start there's a few things I need to mention.
I can't seem to get in contact with the winner of dancer of the month, friskie, so if anyone knows her, will you let her know she won! I will still try and get in contact though too.
Also, I've been a bit of a nicompoop. On one of the weeks, I forgot to check my comments on the blog page so I missed a load of nominations! That's what you get for writing blog posts on a Sunday when I've been working until 5am in the morning >.< But I've learnt my lesson!
So, I've decided to have two winners for each section this week and 7 special mentions to make up for it!
Actually, I lie.
There's been a huuuuge abundance of JPOP dancers being nominated, but for this week, only one Kpop dancer was nominated! Kpopers?? Where you at??
But do not fret, the person who was nominated was incredible, and I really enjoyed watching the video...
So I guess I best announce who that is!
This week's KPOP Winner is:
Karl Baclea-an!

Dancer Of The Month Results!~ January 2014
Hello you, I hope you're good!
Well, today is the day I announce the Dancer Of the Month results!
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can see the first post about it here .
All the winners of Dancer of The Week were put into a poll and the winner will win this Calender along with some other kawaii treats!
As you know, this has been the first time I have ever done Dancer As The Month/Week as a blog post and as a poll, so there are some things that may change over the few months. I had a problem with the poll I originally put on my website, so then I had to put one on my facebook page. The only problem with that was, only I could see the full results unless I paid a premium plan!So, I'll provide a screenshot when I announce the winner. And for next month I'm going to have to find another poll to use somewhere. If anyone knows any good poll sites, that would be useful! I was trying to find one that lets the voters vote once a day, so there was no cheating >.<
But anywhooo!
How about we announce the winner!
ARGH exciting!!
So, the Winner of January's Dancer Of The Month is...
Friskie!
Congratulations Friskie!! I'll be contacting you about the prizes!
Everyone go and give her a big congratulations, she really deserves it! Her dance really was amazing! In fact everyone's was this month, including the special mentions and everyone that nominated. The quality of dancers in this community now is amazing and I'm really excited to see what's in store for next month!
Thank you so much to everyone who voted, entered, and nominated! It's been so much fun to do!
So, all that's left is to start again for next month!
It's time to start nominating again~
Then, next week, I'll announce the winner's of Dancer Of The Week and the special mentions. Then the week before the end of the month, I will open up the poll again of all the winners of February for the Winner of The Month!
The Winner of next Month will win
$20 to spend at
It's a store I get a lot of my clothes from, and they have such a huge range of styles!
They also ship worldwide, so there is no worry about where you are from.
Check it out here

Dancer Of The Week! ~Week 2
Hello you, I hope you're good!
Well it's time for
Wohoo!
If you don't know what it is, this blog post tells you all the details, the rules and last weeks previous winners.
Before we start, I would just like to say thank you so sooo much to everyone who entered or nominated someone. There were so many entries! Which made my decision incredibly hard! I'm not even kidding!
I'd also like to say, you JPop dancers....wow! Sometimes, it's quite hard to impress "dancers" with a Jpop cover because the moves are generally more simpler than Kpop dances, but this week, so many Jpop dancers killed it. There are loads that I couldn't fit in to mention, and when I say that every single entry was top notch (including Kpop covers too!), I am saying it with my full honesty!
If you are not mentioned in this week's entry, please, please don't be downhearted because every entry was amazing, and it was so much fun watching every single one of you! And please enter next week, because some of you were stupidly close to being mentioned...it was just such a hard decision!
Anyway, let's get on to this week's winners!
The JPop winner is:
This is such a professional cover. Her movements and technique are brilliant! I loved how she came out of nowhere at the beginning. Also, her personality and smile shone through the whole dance! It was a fully enjoyable cover to watch!
Please go and congratulate her and support her!
Please go and congratulate her and support her!
The KPop winner is:
TheKawaiiKimchi
This is an incredible cover! He starts off with such fluidity and then when he starts tutting, I was seriously just watching in awe. That must have taken a lot of effort and time to practice and was really impressive! Again, I enjoyed watching this cover so much!
Please go and congratulate him he really deserves it!
Oh also, just adding...it took me a good few minutes trying to decide if the background is real or not haha.
The Special Mentions:
These could have easily been winners too, so if you're in here...maybe enter next week!
Karochu
KYoMicA27
ThisIsTomemon
XSymphonicNightmareX
NikkiHatsune
And that's it for this week!
But seriously
Please some of you enter next week<3
Also, here's a reminder of the rules and how to enter for next week!

SHERLOCK
Sunday, 5 January 2014
~Dancer Of The Week! ~ | January Week 1
Hello you, I hope you're good!
So, today is Sunday, not only the end of the week, not only Sherlock day and not only onesie day. It's also Dancer Of the Week day!
How good was Sherlock tonight though?
Anyway, some of you might be wondering what Dancer Of The Week is, or what I like to shorten to D.O.T.W.
It was actually a little competition I used to do on my youtube channel about 3 years back now where I would ask for nominations from the public for Jpop and Kpop dancers throughout the week and I would choose a winner and some special mentions at the end of the week. I really enjoyed doing it because I found a lot of talented Jpop and Kpop dancers around the world, and that's how I made a lot of my friends online. It also felt like we were a little community and we were all cheering each other on! And it helped a lot of people get more noticed too!
Look here's a little picture of me in action!
Then lack of time and copyright strikes got in the way.
BUT
I've decided to bring it back!
I can't do it on youtube like I used to because of copyright reasons, and also the fact that it takes a lot more time to film and edit a video, so I thought I would bring it back blog style!
So, before I get onto the good stuff, here are all the details of the competition and how it's going to work:
Since this is the first week of the contest, I kind of nominated the winners and special mentions myself, just to get the ball rolling! But usually what will happen is that you will send in nominations of either yourself or a friend to me. Then myself, (and sometimes along with some friends who are not in the Jpop/Kpop community) will choose 2 winners and 4 or 5 special mentions! One winner will be a Jpop dance and the other will be a Kpop dance. Please don't be shy to nominate yourself either, this is all about getting yourself out there, and I want to see talented dancers!
To nominate, you can either:
~Comment on the latest Dancer Of The Week blog post
~Write the nomination on my Facebook like page wall here:
Or if you would like your nomination to not be as public you can
~Send an email to kimonotime@googlemail.com with the subject "Dancer Of The Week Nomination"
You also have the option of letting me know that if you nominated someone else, whether or not you would like the person you nominated to know that you nominated them if they end up on the blog post.

Rules:
~ It has to be a Kpop/Jpop dance
~You can only enter or nominate the same person once a week, so you can still nominate as many people as you like.
~You can enter again after the week is up if you're not a winner, that includes special mentions!
~You can enter again after the week is up if you're not a winner, that includes special mentions!
More rules will probably be added because people are cheeky monkeys haha.
The winners and special mentions will be announced every Sunday.
Then, the last week of the month will be the ULTIMATE! There will be one Dancer of the Month winner, and this is decided by you. All the winners of the previous weeks will be in a poll and it's up to you to vote for who you think should win for the whole month. The poll will start on the second to last month's blog post and will go on for one week.
The winner of Dancer Of The Month will also get some prizes too, which will be personally sent from me!
This month will include a
Kimmidoll Collection 2014 Calendar
It also comes with some cute little stickers!
I'm also going to collect a few little cute bibs and bobs this month to throw in too!
In the future, I'm also going to try and maybe get some cool sponsors to help me out...any sponsors out there? hahaha.
So now on to the stars of the show!
The KPOP winner for this week's D.O.T.W is...
Not only did Amy and Anya take time out of their holiday to film a dance, they did it with so much energy and passion! It truly looks like they are having fun and it really made me smile. They did the dance perfectly, but the also added a really fun vibe to it and I easily watched it the whole way through! Well done you guys, and please go and congratulate them!
The JPOP winner for this week's D.O.T.W is...

MCM October 2013!
Hello you, I hope you're good!
Okokokok, so my friends and people have started saying that back to me, and I didn't realise how much I say it, like I literally say it in every vlog and now I'm really conscious about it oh dear.
HAPPY LATE HALLOWEEN!
I hope you had a good one. I did a halloween themed cover video if you're interested~
Anyway, it feels like forever since I blogged and I'm sorry. I've been busy again and one of the reasons is because I've been to MCM Comic Con London. Another reason is because I've been working a lot, one of my jobs is in a bar and last night I got tipped loads, wohooo! But my stupid brain at 4.30am in the morning thought yeah, let's make it rain because I'm happy. Woke up this morning with a sore head and a huge bruise on my knee because most of them are pound coins...ouchy.
So, I thought I'd share with you some adventures from MCM. Usually when I've gone, I've done a performance, so I have to prepare for months and then plan the whole day around performing. This time, I didn't know if I could make it, so it was a different experience.
Last minute, I cosplayed Jinx from League of Legends. This was the end result. Thank you Sachie for this picture!
Her character is pretty badass, if you haven't seen her promo video get jinxed, you are missing out! It was actually a really cheap cosplay to make because the only really materials I needed to buy was the belts and the wig, I had the rest in my box of random junk. I do play LoL but I am a pretty bad noob, and I'm only at level 5 at the minute. My summoner name is KimonoTime if you wanted to know.
The wig I recieved was a nightmare though, it was nowhere near long enough and it was really thin at the top, so it looked like I was bold. It was quite challenging styling the fringe, and then the wind ruined it by the end of the day. It was a pretty stressful cosplay!
So here's my day on Saturday. Times are approximate~
6.00am: Woke up and didn't feel too good. I felt sick. Shouldn't have had accepted the offer of crumpets at 1am in the morning, I was hungry but I only wanted one because I had to show my stomach tomorrow. Was too polite to decline 2 because that would have made the package uneven, and that felt rude.
6.30am: Stared at my facepaint for my arm.
7:00am: Watched some of my friends leave because they had to set up their stall.
7:30am: Still stared at my facepaint. Seriously considered just throwing on my seifuku, but that wig...it took forever to make and I was proud of it.
8:00am: Starts doing facepaint.
8:30am: Realises how special I look trying to paint with my left hand.
10:00am: Facepaint finally done! Decides to travel in normal clothes and get changed there. Didn't fancy walking around London in a Bikini.
11:00am: Arrives at MCM. Joins a huge group of confused cosplayers outside the doors, I've never experienced this before, usually you just walk straight into the queuing hall. There were no signs, but eventually after following other confused faces and people with weekend tickets print outs in their hands I got into the queuing hall. .
12:00am: After standing in the weekend early entry area for an hour and watching the today only tickets go past us, we are finally given our wristbands. Stalks into the main hall with some angry adventure time cosplayers. I've never experienced that kind of chaos before for queuing! Runs into the toilets to get changed, feeling ill and stressed out. I meet some of my friends in the toilets there. I apologise if one of you is reading this, I was such a stress head!
12.30pm:
Meets my friend Abi in the League of Legends area. Feels like one of those cliche chick flick movies where the new girl enters the classroom, except I'm in my Jinx Cosplay and there are loads of LoL fans judging/staring at me. Abi looked so adorable in her Kirino Cosplay!
Compulsory Selfie time!
Her Youtubes~
I also met a Jinx cosplayer outside the area. It's like I'm the chibi jinx haha!
12:30-3.30pm: Got loads of pictures taken and realised that I was very conscious wearing a handmade bikini and that the crazy face I was pulling in every picture for Jinx's character was like my default I want some teeeeeeeeeeeeeA face. It was really nice to see people's face light up when they recognized my cosplay! Tried to go outside at one point but got stuck in a huge jam of cosplayers. It's a really horrible time to be small...ended up being dragged backwards towards the entrance by some Attack on Titan cosplayers. Also walked around the stalls, met some friends, bought some of those Danny Choo Kanji learning cards and kind of sneaked Jason and his friend (VeeOneEye check out his youtube I think you'll like it!) into the expo and he got a little mobbed by his fans >.<
Here's a couple of pictures!~
At the Sushi Noms stall!
Also, Dom (the duuude in the middle) has just started a youtube if you want to have a look~
Jessie and Walt! Like..the real ones obviously!
3.30pm: Bumped into my friends Cherry (from Oishii Ichigo!) and Sachie and Karen. Sachie and Karen I've known online for a while, but because they're from Canada and the U.S I have never seen them in real life. It was so great to finally meet them! We decided to brave the winds outside and I did a photoshoot with my friends. Sachie took the photos on her pro camera. She even looked so pro in the pro lying down pro photographer pro position.
Then the light shone on us and we knew that it was a good time to get decent selfies haha!
The highlight of the photoshoot had to be when me and Karen were trying to balance on those white things in the middle of the bridge and I fell into splits and Karen fell on her back and slid down them star fish style.
4.15pm: Went back inside and caught the last of a Jpop/Kpop dancing panel on the Japan Ex stage. Managed to get a selfie with some of the performers/audience there, it was really nice to meet them briefly, as we all watch each others videos online, but never really get to meet each other. This selfie took ages to take and I look really weird, but ah well, I think it's really cute I got to get one!
And the other dancers from the Panel: who are not in the picture
4:30pm: Watched Himezawa perform on stage. She was so adorable, and I didn't know it was her first time perfoming! She was such a professional, I really enjoyed her performance!
5.00pm: Said my goodbyes to everyone, got changed out of my cosplay and went back to my friends house. I realized I had hardly eaten or drunk anything all day, so I was a bit cheeky and got a pizza with my friend. He's like an expert at LoL so he taught me a load of things and we watched some funny game videos!
SUNDAY
It was basically just a chill day. I decided not to do Jinx again because it just takes so long to do the tattoos, so I went in my galaxy sailor fuku.
I've had my fringe trimmed differently, and I'm really digging it woo!
The queues on Sunday were non exsistent, there were still lots of people there, but it seemed much more calmer and organised.
I got to hang around with Sachie, Karen and Cherry all day, it was so much fun! We found this really cool 3D animation screen, and it looked like we were chilling with aliens, animals, dinosaurs and fantasy creatures on the screen. It entertained us along with some young children for quite a while.
Photo Courtesy of Sachie again~
That's Cherry sneaking behind me in her Teemo hat, Sachie cosplaying Emmy Altava from the Professor Layton games and Karen sporting her fab red skinnys!
Got some shots of some pretty awesome cosplays too!
My friends look incredible in their Skyrim cosplays!
I got to hang around the Japan Ex area more, and I met some lovely people who watch my videos too! I never know how to react, so I'm sorry if I was a bit awkward, but thank you so much for saying hi and watching my videos and sofgiuyosdiugyoduiy. I also go to watch Scarlett (another Ichigo Member) perform her solo slot on the Japan Ex stage. She was so fabulous and talented and cute! Me and Cherry did lots of Wota-ing with a glowstick that Scarlett let us borrow that she got from Akiba Japan.
After that I watched MK Dance group perform too. They were so energetic and fun to watch!
That was also the time to catch up on all my street passes on my Nintendo 3DS. I got so many!
Also, I got this lovely picture, thank you Himezawa!
I have platforms on and I still look like a hobbit ;A;
Aaaaaand that was about it! MCM was stressful but fun and fab. Sounds like a typical comic con to me.
Thank you so much to everyone who made it an amazing weekend. I love going to to conventions because I get to meet people who love the same things as me. I'm kind of gutted I didn't get to perform this time, it felt so weird and I missed it so much. I really hope I can get to do it again, even if it is just for a couple more times, because that's where I started everything really!
If you haven't been to one before and are interested in games, films, comics, anime and things like that, I really recommend it, it's such a fun day out!
This took sooo long to write, so I'm sorry if I missed out anyone or anything >.<
Also, unrelated note, I've been looking at a load of blogs recently and so many people at the moment have the dark hair with the fringe, it's like were all clones ready to take on the world. I'm thinking of maybe for christmas having a little change to my hair and making it like a burgundy colour for christmas like this:
What do you think?
Kyary ma bb
I've never really had any other hair colour but black before (except a failed attempt a light brown where I got weird blonde highlights foisduyfois), and I'm still young, so why not! It will be easy to dye it back too if I don't like it I suppose.
Anywhoo, I think that's it!
Thank you so much for reading~
