Welcome to the Official Gothic && Lolita Thread. This thread's purpose is for discussion of the Japanese originating fashion and lifestyle (music, literature, ect) that's based on dressing doll-like and inspired by the Rococo era, discussing Lolita brand's new seasonal lines or accessories, discussing brands themselves, arranging meetups (not sure if that's against the TOS o_o), critiquing each others outfits and of course to make new friends that love or share the same style as you! This thread is also for those who are curious about the fashion and lifestyle as well as those wanting tips on how to get started into the fashion. =)
Be sure to read the rules before posting!!

Forum Started Jan 26th 8:36pm =)

[As for the subject of wether this really is the first OFFICIAL lolita thread I really don't have too much of an opinion. I'm not 100% sure if it is the first or not. I thought it was, but of course there are other threads and I have no intentions of starting up any drama. However I do pride my thread in being one of the longest running lolita threads in the Fashion and Style forums. Heh. <3]




6/18/08: Why halo thar. :B It's Amanikitty. I'll be updating the front page pretty soon.


Early June Aghh. This post from me is way overdue. But due to my lack of interest in gaia anymore, I'm quiting the site. I'm not exactly sure how to go about deleting the lolita thread or giving it to someone else for new ownership. But if it's alright with Amani, I'd prefer for her to take over. I'll still be on egl on lj, but I'm not going to do gaia anymore. So I'm guessing that you guys will have to either start a whole new thread or keep this one. Up to you guys really...
Hope everyone understands and sorry for not posting this sooner! Thanks~
Any questions feel free to IM me via AIM, my screen name is Umbr311a or comment my lj which is dinosaur_cards

02/16/08 Wow guys! The thread's been up for a little over a year now and going strong! Thanks to all the white list people, contributors and so on who've helped me make this thread one of the largest in the F&S forum! Just a new update, I've elected AmaniKitty as a sort of moderator for the thread since I can't be in here all the time to keep everything in check. Basically she has the rights to warn people and PM me with notes of who needs to be banned and what not. :3 Yay!
11/10/07, Just an important reminder that everyone needs to please stay on topic in the thread! I got a PM from a mod in the F&S forum telling me that if we continue to stay off topic this thread will be moved to the chatterbox. Let's not let that happen...because surely then it will be overrun by n00bs. gonk
08/14/07, Name change. Got rid of the 'Gothic' because people were getting confused. Lulz.
05/31/07, List of lolita guilds added thanks to the wonderful, Amanikitty! Even more people added to the whitelist.
04/30/07, More people added to the whitelist.
03/18/07, Contest added! YEAH BOYEE.
03/10/07, I've been having trouble keeping up with the thread lately as it's grown immensely popular over the past couple of weeks. Still trying to get that contest arranged. <3
02/25/07, Yay! The thread is still running strong! I added some people to the white list. Ooooh!
01/26/07, Wowww. I woke up this morning to check the thread only to find that it's got like 6-7 pages now. @w@ Yay.
Added some more links to the links section.
01/25/07, Thread is still in the works. First time I've ever started a big thread like this and tried running one...Hopefully things will run smoothly! sweatdrop First thread layout is sweet lolita. I plan to do other's like gothic lolita, punk and country. :]










1. First and foremost. I know this fashion group tends to have a little bit of 'loli-drama' every now and then (the elitists vs. the 'not rori enough' crowd or what have you) all I ask is that you please keep it out of my thread for the most part. An occasional rant is alright but save most of it for a lj post please? Thanks.
2. Do not bump the thread unless it has been moved off the first page of the F&S forum.
3. For those of you that are new an introduction post would be nice but isn't obligatory. Just tell us what style you prefer, how you learned about lolita or what you wish to learn about it, favorite brands, ect. =)
4. As for critiques on outfits, please first clearly state if you want a harsh critique or not. If you request for a harsh critique don't whine and moan if people give you one.
5. Ero-Loli will be barely tolerated as Gaia is a PG-13 website. If you post pictures that are too risque for Gaia you will be probably be reported. While we're on this topic...this is not a kinder-whore or sexual lolita fetish thread. Cybering and the like will not be tolerated.
6. Please be friendly and conciderate to those who are just coming into the fashion and to everyone else in general. A 'lolier-than-thou additude' will not be welcomed but will be tolerated I suppose.
7. Please be somewhat literate. I highly suggest that you don't use chatspeak, you'll probably won't be taken too seriously if you do.
8. Flames and claims of weeaboos or wanapanilia (wtf is that even a word?) will be laughed at and used to heat our curling irons. :3
9. AmaniKitty is a'moderator' for this thread since I'm gone a lot, and can't keep up too much with all the dramu that tends to happen while I'm out. 8D
So basically she has the authority to give people warnings for the three strikes out rule, and then PM me to ban the people as well as add them to the black list. :3
