HOLMAT RECAP

12-23-2023

time for a quick holiday matsuri recap before i head home for the holidays! please be aware that any outstanding orders/new orders will not be shipped until i get back on the 26th!

so, like i said in our last update, we DID actually get to vend at holiday matsuri after all thanks to the generosity of our amazing friend bubbly sheep creations! we had an extremely successful con with only 2 feet of table space and even sold out of dicker sheets!! we also debuted our newest product...


...the ANIME BOY TEARS mug!

these will be up in the shop after christmas, so look forward to that and all the new products we'll be debuting at megacon! but enough about business, what about pleasure?


a meeting of the minds...

there was only ONE event important enough for me to leave my table during holmat, and that was our friend and site affiliate denpa archivist's YAOI MEETUP! it was a truly heartwarming little get-together of fujoshi, fudanshi, cosplayers, artists, and more! we shared stickers, traded bracelets, looked at doujins, and left having made many new friends! thank you so much to denpa for putting it together!!! i hope many more meetups like this will pop up so fujos all over have a space to be themselves and have fun!!


united under yaoi!

as we head into the holidays, i hope you all have a merry yaoimas and a happy new yuri! i'll leave you with this beautiful photo of yuri and yaoi jesus wearing our pins wednesday night!


truly blessed!!

SURPRISE HOLMAT SPACE

12-21-2023

sorry i didn't get to update my blog sooner, but I ACTUALLY DID GET A SPACE AT HOLIDAY MATSURI THIS YEAR!


it's small, but it's something!

i got SUPER lucky that the tables turned out to be 8 feet long despite my friend bubbly sheep creations confirming with them beforehand, and therefore planning for a 6-footer! she gave me her extra 2 feet to set up a mini rotten girl gang table, which has been CRAZY profitable these last two days! there's one more day to see us there, and i have a feeling it's going to be a big one!!! come by table O7 right near the exit of the artist alley and check us out before we sell out of everything!

i'll make a longer post after the con with a recap and more, but now i need to go restock my merch and get to bed! x3

NEW PREORDERS

12-12-2023

hey gang, we just submitted a BIG merch order with lots of new stuff, including new boys for the BOY ☆ CATCHER!


the catch of the day!

a new preorder listing is up for kieran, atom, and len rainbow acrylic keychains! you can grab your favorite boy at our etsy!

i have much, MUCH more to reveal before megacon, so keep an eye out for more updates soon! the order will arrive early january, and include a restock of our dead dove yaoi candy keychains for those waiting on them!

speaking of cons, we got into bold matsuri again! it's a long ways off (june 22nd-23rd), but it's great to know we already have a summer con date set! hope to see you there! ^w^

ANOTHER WEEB WEDNESDAY

11-30-2023

last night we had another spot at player 1 orlando! big thanks to everyone who stopped by and grabbed some swag!


our simple lil setup!

every weeb wednesday the artists each donate a piece of their merch to be raffled off, and this time i gave them an organic yaoi sticker, which caused quite a fuss amongst the guests. there was a big group of guys chanting for it through the raffle and one of them finally won it and brought all their friends over to buy stuff from the gang (including dick stickers). i hope to get another gig there soon!!

BACK FROM WASABI

10-17-2023

hey gang, we're back from wasabicon with some quick updates!


our latest and greatest table!

our setup was better than ever, but the event itself was only about as popping as our last jacksonville con, bold matsuri. but despite slow sales we still managed to make a profit -- and sold out of brocon badges, which is always a good sign. ;D


femboy & babygirl stickers are here!

our newest holo peeker stickers are now up in the online shop! they're now all in one convenient listing along with fujoshi, catgirl, catboy, and a deal where you can order any three for $12!

i had wanted to debut my miya and naota BOY ☆ CATCHER keychains at wasabicon too, but unfortunately the charms order didn't make it in time! :( they still won't be in my hands until the end of the month, but here's a preview of them to tide you over till then!


aren't they cute? ;w;

wasabicon may be our last major event of the year (though i do intend to do a couple more weeb wednesdays whenever i can fit them in), unless we get into holiday matsuri! keep your fingers crossed that we'll get lucky with their table lottery in the coming months!!

P.S. you may have also noticed the layout of our blog page has been updated! i've learned how to use iframes and i'm very proud of myself :) keep an eye out for more site improvements coming soon!

WASABICON TABLE PLACEMENT

10-7-2023

just received our table placement for wasabicon next weekend!


find us here!

the gang will be all set up at table #A073 (table 73 in the artist alley) next friday-sunday!! we'll have new keychains and stickers and some other fun goodies too ;)


here's a little preview of our newest holo peekers to entice you! ;D

it's been a while since we had a 3-day convention and i can't wait! i hope to see you there! ♥

POST KIRBIICON 1 SHOP UPDATE

10-2-2023

hey everyone!! i'm back from my kirbiicon trip with plenty of goods and good news to share!


our (highly improvised) booth at kirbiicon!

kirbiicon went soooo well!! it felt like the best reception rotten girl gang has EVER gotten, with so much love and laughter from everyone who stoppd by! we made table super quick and a nice profit too!! an 18+ crowd is DEFINITELY the best for a brand like ours, and i hope we'll have many more opportunities for adult events where we can truly let our freak flag fly! ;3 (thought hopefully not outdoors again, the wind made setup pretty difficult! xD)


new pass the yaoi shot glasses and dubcon and noncon badges!

now that we're back home, our newest merch, the promised pass the yaoi shot glasses and a set of dubcon & noncon parody con badges that debuted at kirbiicon are both available in our etsy shop! our next convention, wasabicon, is in just another week, and then hopefully we'll get to close out the year with holiday matsuri if we get picked in their table lottery! keep your fingers crossed for the gang!!

MORE UPDATES 1 NEW MERCH

9-21-2023

got some more hot fresh updates for ya'll!!!


our first and second weeb wednesday table!

first, a recap of our last two gigs at player 1 orlando! sadly, the first night was kind of a bust. the place was empty and i brought way too much stuff, so the setup/breakdown took a long time and we only sold two things! TT_TT the owners of the place told me it was an unusually slow night, and luckily last night's event was able to prove that! it turned out to be much more packed and an all-around success for the gang!! we sold lots of stuff and i had so much fun explaining our stickers to the normie anime fans x3 i'll definitely be back for more weeb wednesdays in the coming months! with the smaller setup, of course xD


lemon and lime phone charms are finally here!!!

next, we have some new merch in stock!! our lemon and lime yaoi candy phone charms are now up in the shop, complete with decorative beads and cute custom backing cards! i'm so pleased with how they turned out, i hope you'll consider adding one to your phone case! x3 get them here on etsy!


new boys coming this october!

we've also got NEW BOYS available for preorder! naota nandaba (FLCL) and miya chinen (sk8 the infinity) are coming soon to the BOY ☆ CATCHER lineup, hopefully in time for wasabicon next month! visit our etsy shop to order!


see us next at kirbiicon!

lastly, some news about upcoming events and products! kirbiicon is coming up the weekend after this, and i'm so jazzed we're gonna get to participate in another adults-only event! get your tickets here and come up to gainesville to party with the gang! i'm going to debut a brand new item at the event... PASS THE YAOI SHOT GLASSES!!


mockup from the printer!

they're being made by the same company who printed our mugs (of which we only have a few left!) so i know the quality will be top notch! we'll have a deal on pairs, so grab a friend and get ready to take a shot of yaoi!

that's about all i've got for you today! website updates are still in progress, and i hope to roll them out soon! don't forget to vote in the new poll on our sidebar in the meantime to help decide on the future of the gang! ☆
