About Us

Nifty Nif is the founder of this operation. She wears sweet, classic, and sweet-classic and regularly struggles to describe her eclectic wardrobe. She loves traveling for Lolita fashion events and learning more about the international J-fashion scene.

Kim is our Head of Registration! In her own words:

Hey everyone I’m Kim, I’m 33 and I’m from the Portland, OR area. I’ve been a lolita for a little over 4 years and my style fluctuates between sweet and classic. I’ve been working in the tech industry for a hot minute as a QA engineer. I love playing board games, dancing, and karaoke. I recently dove into the world of YouTube, so I’ve been loving creating and editing videos for my channel. I’m so excited to help plan a lolita event and am looking forward to meeting so many new faces and seeing some familiar ones in November.

Harley is our Special Guest Coordinator! She's an events professional from Seattle, and you can find her page on Facebook and watch her videos on YouTube.

Jessica works on our Facebook announcements! She is a Sweet Lolita who lives in Canada. She loves to travel, especially for Lolita events, and meet new friends. She works as a Registered Nurse in the NICU and her hobbies include hiking in the Rockies, reading, and playing video games.

Conner is our Fashion Show Director! In her own words:

I'm from North Carolina and have been volunteering for conventions for over a decade now! I've been wearing lolita on-and-off for six years but I'm also interested in larme and himekaji. At the risk of sounding like a stereotypical lolita, I also love tea and run a blog called CLTea. When I'm not drinking tea or getting dolled up, I love thrift shopping, video games and snuggling up with my beautiful girlfriend and cat.

Allie is our head of Vending at Royal Vegas Retreat! In her own words:

I'm Allie! I am on the vendor relations team for Royal Vegas Retreat. I am based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Back home on the east coast I am also the convention chair for Queen City Anime Convention. I am passionate about event planning, community service, and circus arts!

Ruthie runs our swap meet and other content surprises at Royal Vegas Retreat! In their own words:

Hailing from LA, screenwriter, queer author, and actor Ruthie is a lolita that wears many, many bonnets. Their YouTube, the_bard_in_bows, focuses on plus size inclusiveness and comedy. She also is an admin for the small comm, the BGP Collective, which is still in its baby years. When she has free time (if any), Ruthie enjoys Animal Crossing, horror movies, and dressing like a sentient love seat at your grandmother's house.

Ryan is Nif's loving husband, and our transportation, logistics, and advanced arts and crafts coordinator. He may have taken your photo at one of our small events or at a convention. When he's not catering to his wife's extravagant whims, he loves playing pinball, gold panning, playing guitar and recording music, skateboarding, and restoring his vintage truck.
