Hola. It's me, Lola. I'm a 20-year-old girl from Germany. I like gear and beards. Welcome to my blog. Feel free to comment or ask anything! And thanks for reading and following. Some people may wonder why I write in English. This just helps keeping the level of my writing skills. And, by the way, people who don't speak German can easily understand what I have to say. I'm sorry for possible language mistakes. Have fun! Saludos, Lola.

Wait... my last post was months ago? Finally got some new pics with some new gear stuff. BD is still not finished though. Hope you like it!

(Btw: Sorry for that super-ugly M4, I’ll work on it.)

The Top Ten: Chapter 01

Welcome to The Top Ten.

Here are:

10 things you definitely will experience as a female airsoft player

Every picture you upload, even if you only wear a cheap Flecktarn uniform combined with a plastic M4 rifle, will get 50+ likes. You will get so many compliments for your “nice gear” and that “so many male players can take a leaf out of your book”.

You don't really need to buy your own gear. Just ask anyone of your fan boys, if he wants to loan you his Crye Panties and his Systema. Works even better with all the low gear guys without a Systema.

At least five guys will send you a private message asking whether you have a Facebook or Skype account. The brave ones will even ask for your mobile phone number.

“Girls and technics...” Everybody knows that you better shouldn't disassemble a gearbox because you wouldn't get it back together again. No problem, when you have trouble with your gun while playing, just ask one of your super-friendly team mates. I mean, who would say no to be a girl's hero...

It doesn't matter if you have pink hair or a pink rifle or pink camo. Even though the enemy team will see you moving through the trees, they won't shoot you. “You can't hit a girl!” Prime principle.

So many people will tell you how beautiful you are. Not face-to-face, of course. For many of them it's really hard to talk to girls in real life. Just like Rajesh from The Big Bang Theory. By the way, it doesn't matter if you are fat or ugly. If you have boobs, you are female and that is the only thing the average airsoft player is interested in.

Someone will claim that your web appearance is a lie. In reality you were a fat boy who didn't have a single friend and now wanted to get attention by uploading hot girl pics. Pro tip: You'll get even more attention when choosing a nick name ending by -y or -i. Sounds sooo cute.

Regardless of which way you will choose later on, you will start with being one of the famous internet broads. Getting so much attention is new to you (can you imagine what it feels like to get even more likes on your airsoft photos than on your Instagram food pics...?). So you will totally enjoy this. Maybe you'll buy some gear or delete some photos at a later time. Well, to be perfectly honest, girls don't really need gear. And that's the reason why most girls will just go on being an internet broad.

You won't have any problems playing without comfortable shoes. I mean, Nike's do always look better than Meindl trekking boots. (And, by the way, there will never be a style magazine recommending trekking boots as the new in-accessory.) Your team mates will understand that you need a little break. “This is German milsim. It's okay to take a lunch break, girl.”

You can join every team you want to join. Just ask the team leader if they need a photographer (responsible for professional photos of semi-professional players), a team mummy (responsible for food, water and warm hugs) or just an honorary member (responsible for having boobs).

Just because I was very amused of that little article of Lola right >here< so I decided to (just for now) write in english myself. However I took class in that so called “Leistungskurs” wich is just some extended version of the average english class in school, I must confess, that my wrinting...

[lolafantasma]

Hola.

Well, it’s such a long time ago I visited Tumblr... but here I am, I’m still alive. The reason why I logged in today is this text written by Unicorn. Actually, it took some time to log in because I’d forgotten my password and Tumblr didn’t really wanted me to get a new one. However, I’m back.

Even though it’s already long time ago the Gearzone took place, I haven’t read the text until this year. And I was smiling while reading it. It was the first time I got to knew some thoughts of a Gearzone member. (and these thoughts are not even bad).

Everything I want to say is: Thanks for a wonderful text (and, by the way, I’m convinced that your English can’t be worse than mine).

Saludos,

Lola.

PS: Maybe I will overcome my laziness these days and write a new entry. I mean, this is a blog and bloggers always tell the world about all the things they’ve done, right?

Why Ranger?

Hola.

Some people know it yet. I made my decision... yes, finally. My first real project is going to be a battle display of the 75th Ranger Regiment of the US Army. Loads of people tried to persuade me of starting a Navy Seals or a MarSoc battle display. I mean, after visiting the Gearzone it was certain for me starting any good project, but I wasn't sure which one to choose. I still was member of a team which had two camouflage patterns we had to wear when playing. When taking part in fun games the team wears Socom, which basically is very similar to the American AOR2 pattern. But Socom isn't a „real“ pattern worn by any military personnel. The leader of the team allowed me to wear AOR2 instead, which is a quite nice basis for starting a Seal battle display. But there was another hitch: I wasn't allowed to wear a Multicam JPC over it, because the leader wanted us to use green coloured plate carriers and vests. Okay, seems like there was no way to start a good project, but yes, I had another possibility. The team's second camouflage pattern used on milsim events is the German Flecktarn pattern. Of course, Bundeswehr soldiers can wear green vests, but I really didn't want to display a German soldier. On the one hand I don't like the Flecktarn pattern and on the other hand these soldiers just don't look that... hm cool. (No bad comments on that please, this is just my personal opinion.)

I really tried to find a solution because I wanted to stay in the team. All the same, I left my team because of personal trouble with one of the members. Okay, no problem, I'm still in contact with the other guys. Now I had much more possibilities. I had the impression that everyone tried to persuade me of displaying the same soldiers they were fan of. (Quite funny, because in the end I decided to start a battle display of the US Army Rangers and the Ranger battle displayers weren't that happy.)

You may ask why I finally have chosen the Rangers. It's obvious that this battle display (we're talking about the years 2009/2010/2011) wouldn't be easy. Starting with the plate carrier: I have to find an Eagle Industries MBAV or Plate Carrier in Ranger Green, which isn't even produced anymore. Some other parts of my future kit are hard to find as well: the Orc Industries Level 5 PCU, the Eagle Pouches, the Crye suit (yep, they stopped producing the Gen.2 pants and shirts this year)...

MegaMan, one of the Gearzone 2014 members, told me, that he had worked on his Ranger project for two years, beginning in 2011. Moreover, it's very cost-intensive and there is quite hard research work to do. „Well, I think I took the wrong project.“, I said to him. But he reassured me and said something like: „Of course, this isn't the easiest project, but if you like working on a project whose result is more than great... then this is fun.“ I don't remember our conversation very well, but he definitely didn't want to dismay me.

But why did I choose the Ranger battle display then? There are some major reasons.

Reason No. 1:

Have you seen some Ranger pics yet? I mean, they look great.

(Source: www.americanspecialops.com)

Reason No. 2:

Have you seen some Ranger battle displayers yet? The look great as well.

(Look at the guy on the right side, it's Mega displaying a Ranger. Mills wears German stuff.)

Reason No. 3:

Displaying a Seal is cool, of course, but it's too mainstream.

(My favorite Seal battle displayer in his Vanilla Seal Gunner outfit.)

(I don't know many girls with a nice gear or gear at all. Natalie belongs to this small group which is better equipped than most of the guys. She points out that her kit isn't necessarily a battle display, but nevertheless her gear is Seals oriented.)

Reason No. 4:

MarSoc is nice, but I don't have money for a Crye woodland suit. And yes, I want to wear Crye. I just love Crye.

Reason No. 5:

I tried out wearing Seals gear yet. I like the JPC, because it's a light-weight and comfortable plate carrier. But what really made me hating the carrier is a photo which was taken by one of the Gearzone members. (No, I won't post this here.) As you can see on most of my pictures, I'm not fat. But I'm a bit... horizontally challenged. And yes, I'm a woman, and I have a feminine figure. So wearing a JPC doesn't always look great. Sorry, it's kinda hard to explain. I think, men don't have this problem. However, I like the JPC, but I wasn't really satisfied with the fitting. And if I want to wear a bigger plate carrier anyway, I can also take the Eagle MBAV or the Eagle PC. You have to know that the fact wearing an MBAV at first made me quite unsure of starting a Ranger battle display.

(This is me in Navy Seals gear. I'm wearing a Multicam JPC over AOR2 clothes.)

Reason No. 6:

„If you don't want to be too mainstream, then why don't you think about displaying a Russian or Polish or whatever soldier?“

I like American soldiers. It's not because I have a preference for American politics, any American stuff or America itself. It's just because I really like the appearance and the gear of the US Army Rangers.

You may laugh about some reasons that made me starting the Ranger battle display. But hey... I'm still a girl and no one should be surprised that some of my decisions aren't reasonable.

Saludos,

Lola.

About female airsoft players

Hola.

Time to write something, huh? Today I read something quite funny. Funny and true. You can read the related thread here: Click me, I'm a link! Please note that only registered members can browse this forum, sorry for that. Nevertheless, I can repost it here. In English, of course. (German airsoft players can still log in to the Airsoft Verzeichnis site.)

Firstly, what is the thread about? It's about the role of the female player. This was funny reading because I'm member of the mentioned group, moreover, the text had a very humorous tone. And it made me a giggle that all this had such a true core.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to present you Mogli's view on the female part of the airsoft society:

The Gamer Girl.

This is maybe the biggest group. She does not really participate in the game. Mostly she is just standing on the playing field holding a gun in her hands to protect it from getting dirty. Except she is following her boyfriend and his mates taking more or less good photos. Wearing a reflective vest, of course, and therefore being like an illuminated advertising seen by everyone else. Although she only is accompanying her boyfriend she still is handsome and everyone is trying to flirt with her. Due to the fact that her boyfriend often looks better than the rest of the vermin, she is not really interested.

The so-called Dick Wrecker or: The Miles Girl.

This said lady plays airsoft to eat up miles. Which miles? Dick miles, of course. Thanks to the advantageous relation between males and females and the sheer numbers of underfucked airsoft players she has an easy job. It does not matter how unattractive this girl is, she always gets dozens of them into her bed, because they just have a thing for everyone who is female.

The Board Broad.

This group can only be found online. These girls are easy to recognize because of their cleavage photos and their continous attempt to be cute. A Board Broad is quite similar to the Miles Girl and some of them even evolve into Miles Girls. She is registered in the forum to get attention, either by getting posts on her profile, by getting nice comments under her photos or by receiving pushy messages. It does not matter how she looks or how old she is. Every female person has its own, very great amount of megahorny followers. She does not take part in events because she does not want to socialize with others. She just wants to be adored and this really is not difficult for a lady.

Big Mama.

This lady is not really participating either but nevertheless is part of the team. She entertains the boys like she was their mom. She listens to all the cares and concerns and is responsible for coffee and cake. She ensures that the players do not have to worry about hunger and thirst. These ladies seem to be the first group of females which have to be taken seriously. The Big Mama does not fool herself or others. She is the one who is coping with the household everytime. Just like the well-known duck mom leading her little ducklings through the big world.

PS.: It is not recommended drinking alcohol together with her. I mean, this is mom.

The Brigitte Nielsen or The Sirgourney Weaver.

The smallest and probably the most unpopular group of females. The real player. She is not interested in the armed rabble around her. She participates to play and, moreover, is doing very well. The boys getting hit by her get so angry that they do not even want to flirt with her anymore. You really can not tell much about this group, except perhaps that she does not want people to talk about her. Her profile picture on the internet mostly is not very female.

And that's it. The five main groups of female players. Thanks again to Mogli who allowed me to publish his thoughts here. (Remember: © Mogli!)

If you have the chance to read the answers in German, do it. Please. In my opinion, the funniest thing is yet to come. You know, that I said that Mogli's text had a true core. I think that he is right when claiming that the last group is the most unpopular group of all (in the eyes of the common airsoft player). Two of the first comments: "The girls of the last group I like most." and "I prefer playing together with the last group." Liars.

I already thought about writing a counterpart: "The male airsoft player". The biggest group would consist of boys always stating that they like girls having gear or girls playing even better than most of the males. They are proud after writing something like "Haha, you all just adore this photo because she is female. Shut up everyone!". They see themselves as heroes protecting the poor girls from slavering followers. But hey, I stop here. Maybe there'll be a final version of my thoughts one day. Stay following and reading.

Saludos,

Lola.

How to win the Bullshit Bingo

Hola. Two days ago I uploaded this quite nice picture showing myself in quite nice gear. Like I said before, this was taken at the "Beerzone" event. Every year about 1,000 people meet near Sokolov, Czech Republic to play airsoft. And less than 20 people are just there to look good in gear. They are called The Gearzone. This year it was my honor to accompany this little group. I've never met them before, so I was quite excited. How will they be like? How will they react? And what's more, how good do they really look? We arrived on Thursday, August 28th. We pitched up the tent in the middle of the campground. First night, first outrage. Some of the denser "sportsmen" shouted the Hitler salute all over the entire area. Some started to sing loudly about their favorite soccer club. The excessive drinking began on the very first day, one even came into our tent and asked for weed... As you can see, my first experiences were great. After waking up the next morning, we quickly decided to change places and brought the tents near to the edge of the campground. Wise decision, on Friday night we slept like a rock. One of the Gearzone members promised to prepare a so-called Bullshit Bingo. I don't think I have to explain how Bingo is played, huh? If you don't know: Let me Google that for you. But instead of finding the right numbers on the gridded card we wanted to find interesting people. Who will be the first of us to see an airsoft player walking around with more than one high-cap? And when will we hear the first one telling proudly about his possible career in the German Bundeswehr? "Yes, of course, they accepted my application and I would have become a sniper, but I refused the offer." And who will be the first to see one who wears his plate carrier the wrong way round? I guess this game would have been really funny... If we had played it. I am still not sure why we didn't, I suppose that our organizer just forgot to print the cards. However, we had fun watching the players anyway. Saturday, the big day had come. We had to wake up early to prepare everything. The Gearzone members unpacked their guns and the gear. For people who don't have the money to buy such things this must have been like heaven. Crye pants and shirts as far as the eye can see, thousands of dollars of original stuff and more than just one Systema PTW. It was marvelous. In the end we were a quite colorful group, some displayed members of the Navy Seals, others wore Ranger, MarSoc or German Bundeswehr stuff.

This is us. The Gearzone. Nice-looking and wonderful. Thanks to a very nice young man (Really, thanks a lot!) I could dress up in AOR2, which is basically one of my favorite camouflage patterns. I also had a Crye Precision JPC in Multicam, a hydration backpack in AOR1 and an Ops Core Fast Ballistic. Some more little things to get a well-rounded result. All in all, quite nice stuff and very nice-looking. I don't really wanna talk about all the blah blah (organisation of the game, implementation of the game, result of the game...). I just don't wanna talk about the game. Believe me, it wasn't the most interesting part of the weekend. I can only reveal that our team, called the "Beer thieves", was victorious in the end. My favorite moments really were the "Let's just watch this" moments. I mean, if you have gear you can sit down in the middle of the game. It doesn't matter if you're playing or chilling around, you look great anyway. By the way, it wasn't me who realized this, I just adopted this point of view. Because it's true. Sure, people can complain "This isn't the sense of the game!" or people can ask "So why are you participating then?". This won't bother a geardo. While being in-game someone asked us "What are you doing?". A Gearzone member answered "We just sit here. Go on playing, don't worry about us.". He obviously was baffled how anyone could undermine his authority (or the authority he loved to have). "But we need people to sentinel the flag we captured.", he said again. I was unable to stifle a laugh when my mate replied calmly "Oh, I think you guys can make it alone.". The face of the player was priceless. After listening to this short but interesting discussion we watched dozens of players walking, fighting and hiding near us. If we had played Bullshit Bingo, we would have had a winner after only an hour. Even better was watching the "final battle". Hundreds of players running towards each other, without any places to hide, without a strategy, without sense. I wasn't sure if this was more sad than funny, but yes, it definitely was funny. I couldn't stop taking photos. We saw people having the peace sign on their Flecktarn field blouse. We saw people running around with a sniper scope mounted on their MP5. We saw people playing "Call of Duty"-like with their pistol in one hand and a knife in the other hand. But the knife wasn't a knife, it was a pink... um, well... toy. I will stop reporting here. As you can see, we found loads of people which perfectly would have fitted into our Bullshit Bingo. In retrospect, it is quite sad that we didn't play Bingo. We would have had even more fun watching. To sum up: The "Beerzone" was the first big event for me. It wasn't that great considering the people walking around and showing coarse manners on the campground. Nevertheless, I looked good. (Thanks again to my savior!) Maybe next year I'll participate again. I don't really expect to have fun playing. But I hope that I'll be able to bring my own wonderful gear then. Saludos, Lola.
