So it's a little premature, with an extra week or so left to go in this year, but I figured I might as well start up early so everyone can have a stab at this.

How has 2oo9 been for you? Did you just start lolita? Did you completely change styles? If you bought/made any pieces this year, which ones are your favourite?

( Post your best memory/outfit from 2oo9! )

Hey guys I have a question for you,

so about six months or so back I placed an order for an item that was sold out on their web store. I received the confirmation email and then waited to hear back from them on when my item had arrived so I could pay them and get my item. I waited a week or two and still hadn't heard from them and emailed them asking about the status of my item and had been told my reservation had been canceled because I had not paid and that I was no longer able to reserve items from them. Well, that was interesting news and I never received any email contact from them that my item was ready for me to pay. Now I have been ordering from them since 2002 and have never, ever, had any problem with email communication with them in the seven years I have been ordering from them.

So, I emailed them explaining that I had not received their emails and asked if it was possible to pay for my item as I never received their original emails. They told me I have two days to pay or that I would never be able to reserve from them again. And seeing as I was ready to pay immediately it wasn’t a problem. So, I apologized for the problem and thanked them for letting me fix the problem with them and paid right away. I got my item and I thought it was all behind me.

With the lucky Packs that just came out I thought I’d by myself an early birthday present and today I received an email from them:
“Hello. Thank you for ordering at Metamorphose.
This time, we accept your order, and it will be shipped after Dec. 28 (Mon) at the earliest.
But you have to understand that we don't accept your reservation
because you had ignored my e-mails last time you ordered "sold out item".”

Well, now last I heard the problem had been fixed and they told me that I would be able to reserve items from them. So I was upset when they sent this email. I have been a good customer for seven years and they are subbing me because their emails had been lost in the Ethernet. I still have all of the emails that passed between aya and myself on this situation, doubt it'll help but I can hope.

So my question to all of you is has anyone had this problem? Was it resolved or what? I’ve emailed them and asked them about the situation but it has really upset me.

( yay for IW! )

Almost end of the year... time to look back: Here a photo I already made in May 2009 - but edited in Photoshop just the day before yesterday - that I want to share with you :D In this photo: madaristocrat

Tonight I am just siting at home, so i decided to try out a few quick co-ordination with a few new things i have. 
As I tried on my new Metamorpose velveteen skirt, it hit me that Meta really is my favourite brand and i love it so dearly.
My reason?  they have always made, and still make amazing Gothic lolita pieces, and even though they sometimes come up with some strange designs, they are still going strong after all these years.

So lovely ladies of EGL, My question to you is.....

What is your favorite brand? and what is it about that brand that makes you love it so dearly?

In case you haven't been checking Metamorphose's site the 2009 Winter Lucky Packs are now available. Lucky Packs I just ordered mine and it should be arriving shortly after I get home from visiting family.

( Re-Intro! Well, this IS my blood, and this whip IS quite magic... what's not to love? )
