Welcome to Gaia! ::

I would love to see lolitas walking around everywhere. I want everyone to get the chance to see the fashion and decide whether or not they would like to join in too.

I wish I could have found out about the fashion when I was in high school. I didn't find out about it until I got internet access in my university years. I don't want any other people to miss out on years they could be enjoying the fashion too.

You can see a similar discussion in the Loli Dollies Guild if you're interested seeing what some other people think.

sounds great! i would totallly read it when its done...
as far as your question goes, after the twilight series a lot of people started dressing up as vampires and looked like goths, goths started getting called "those vampires" and suddenly there was a huge mixup of fashions, my worry is that gothic lolita will get mixed in with that, and people wont even see lolitas as "lolitas" and "those frilly vampire goths"
maybe if, in the book, you expicitly describe lolita, in a way that would work with your novel, things wouldnt be mixed up as much

I don't wear it to be unique or a ~special snowflake~. I wear it because it expresses who I am, and I like it.
So if it caught on?
Honestly? I would be thrilled, because I wouldn't have to look at every woman's bare midriff, and I wouldn't be prone to tripping over things while reading the backs of their shorts. Plus! People would actually finally realize it's a fashion and might be less likely to associate it with pr0n. That would be great.

But I highly doubt that it would seriously catch on here in the states. Americans aren't all that fond of modesty, and it's not the most "comfortable" fashion to wear. There's a reason that petticoats died out a long time ago. A million layers will never trump the typical jeans and t-shirt that the masses prefer.
Even people who are more fashion conscious are more likely to be concerned with what's hot on Paris runways, before they care about some music idol or a book.
Not to mention that for all of the extra exposure Lolita's gotten over the last year or two, most girls think that wearing a frilly dress that gives off a childlike appearance makes you look like a moron. They're concerned with looking sexy, and catching a man's attention. It would take a reeeeeaaaally big culture shift for something like Lolita to catch on as a major fashion here.

~special snowflake~, Im going to have to work that phrase into a conversation sometime.

o.0 gangster rap and lolita DO NOT mix!!
so far that I know that is >.< but it does sound errr...interesting
but I do agree with you the others about the skrewups...

I love your avi btw XD guro?

First off, she does not do "gangster rap". Gangster rap =/= general Rap. Rap isn't all about "sexing" or getting money or retarded things like that. She raps about silly things but also about how ******** up life can really be for a young girl.

Secondly, if you know how to mix different styles with one another and make it look right. She obviously didn't do it right though, and even if she was trying to go for Lolita, and she did a good mix correctly, she'd be ostracized regardless.
