Westside LGBT spaces

I have met my fair share of Lesbian and Trans men and women in Town, but I havent really found my friends here in Lahaina yet. Of course, my dad has many suggestions for meeting people, like hanging out at Starbucks, but things are different since the fires, so im not sure where folks like myself congregate now.

I know there’s Aloha Maui Pride but they never do anything Westside, and their events are… too eventful? Not chill enough? I do not know how to explain it, they just seem too big or boisterous of a gathering or something. And considering I’m a little bit of a shut-in, I have not really found space to find folk who walk my walk (I suppose it’s partly my age and inexperience). I have a friend here who recently graduated from Lahainaluna, who is afraid of his parents finding out his sexuality. I suppose what I find out could help him as well.

I’ll sometimes get up real early (5-6am) so I can walk along Wahikuli beach before I work. I am a bit of a nerd, I guess. I like J-fashion (lolita, etc.), native plants (I can show you my pH and EC meter I used in Greenhouse Management in College), SNES games, dolls, geology stuff, and im getting into learning the keyboard and sewing my own clothes (for my dolls, too). I had not really watched anime since I was little (Hamtaro, pokemon, kirby), but I watched MS Gundam (1979) last year and liked it, so im open to that too. Honestly, im just yapping here, so I guess I’ll see y’all around Lahaina, I guess.

Kos-Mos Dollfie with minor repair alterations

I came upon this Kos-Mos doll, who had never been assembled before. Unfortunately, all her elastics had dry rot. I took it upon myself to repair Kosy, and make some minor retrofitting to bring her up to spec. :0

I’d say she is 95% complete on her V.4 design, but the plastic is birttle, and some things still need repair. Her pleather looks fine, but all is brittle: I plan on replacing all the white clothes with lambskin I will paint white. >:

I love Kos-Mos and MOMO. I give MOMO plenty of hugs, but Kos-Mos seems to have her appearance go down 5% whenever I do this (some part falls off). Perhaps Kos-Mos will serve the prototype to a Dollfie T-elos, and maybe I could make a Shion Dollfie as well. :0

I want to make alternate clothing for Kosy for her other version, same for MOMO (XS1 and XS2 outfits). I am very fortunate to have these here in Hawaii, however I am very unlikely to find another Xenosaga enjoyer physically here who’d appreciate them. :)

Some photos in here are of MOMO with me present which may help provide a sense of scale. <3
