Style the Net~

[Harui_Cho]

How did most of us find out about gothic lolita and steampunk? The internet of course! From the styles themselves to the top promoters of the fashion, it's all right here. We have the technology to see it all and love the fashions that much more, so please, continue showing off the styles and share your findings here everyone!
I'll try to highlight a different item, game, or anything else the net possibly has to offer each week, so check back in for new updates!

*Weekly Highlight: Cartoon doll emporium is one of the few sites like gaia that showcases gothic lolita fashions though they have yet to get steampunk. However, they already have introduced a small lolta line for the users and have two lolita games.

(Games will be touched on later....)

Unfortunately, it is. Only way I could make sure all the items shown were g-loli seeing as they won't let nonusers view the premium goodies.

*Weekly Highlight: One of the biggest sights on the net is Youtube with its thousands of user made videos. Youtube is no stranger to the fashion world either with its wide variety of people. Infact, for the more unnoticed styles like steampunk and gothic lolita, this is the quickest promoter of the fashions.....

*Weekly Highlight: Though it isn't as popular for guys to find out about new fashions this way (quite frankly, it's rather scary), dress up games not only entertain the young of heart, but also introduce them to styles they may never find out on there own. Devian Art which has user made games easily incorporates the different interests and fashions into fun dress up games.

New Weekly update at the top.......Not sure how it got up there..........

Out of those who are interested at all, is there any particular source/thing that you want to see in future weekly updates?

Looking for music? Our guild has already found Kanon Wakeshima, wonderful artist and gothic lolita promoter. Who else is out there singing for the fashions?

Happy Holidays everyone! Brand new Weekly Update for ya~ Enjoy.

***Weekly Update: Though it doesn't have steampunk (at least to my knowledge), Cosmates offers a large selection of different accessories and clothes even from based off of other sites such as Baby, The Stars Shine Bright. Though they mistakenly call the fashion Cosplay, many of the gothic lolita items are in fact NOT cosplay at all, though some do come from specific animes.

Cosmates is actually not a good site to buy from when it comes to lolita.

They resell replica brands like Bodyline and Fanplusfriend for way more than the original prices, usually at least double the cost of the original item. They do sell Putumayo, which is their only redeeming quality; however, you can buy Putumayo from sites like Harajuku Hearts or through a shopping service for far less.

Okay.....Well, thanks for bringing that up then. I just brought up a site that I found, but if it's not that great, I'm glad you corrected the issue so people don't look at it.

****Weekly Highlight: Haven't had any new updates in a while, but for the gothic lolita lovers out there, a new dress up game that just came out with pretty good quality clothes and options on a site called Doll Divine. Congrats to them!
