On Saturday afternoon, LA lolitas, fans of Alice in Wonderland, and doll collectors gathered at Royal/T in Culver City to have a Mad Tea Party. The event featured a Valley of the Dolls pop-up shop, music by Tune in Tokyo, tea in the Royal/T cosplay cafe, a smash up video of Alice in Wonderland images, a fashion show, a giant chess set, cupcakes, and guests wearing elaborate costumes.

When Scot Reyes, owner of the pop culture doll shop The Valley of the Dolls (see LAist's visit to this store), announced his plans for a Mad Tea Party at Royal/T, LA Lolitas and doll collectors took notice. Then "lolitamom" posted the event information in this Live Journal entry on the la loligoth page prompting several lolitas to discuss their costume plans for the big party. Variations on the Queen of Hearts costume is sure the be popular and a some goth Cheshire cats too.
