Winter Black, thank you for giving me a good reason to go against what I was going to say.

Well, what I was going to say is that it would be doomed because of the posers. But again, not too many people would wear a big puffy skirt. Everyone is too in love with their jeans!! So good, Lolita will stay with us.


Let us hope. Remember when the right celebrity wears something it becomes mass hysteria for fans to look like them and say they LOVE what ever the celebrity was wearing and had "like totally always had be wearing it."

I'd love to see a boy at the mall dressed in Kodona. That would be kinda cool...

I would force him to sit and have some tea at the cafe' and tell me about his outfit and how he got to know the lolita fashion... Or mabye just attack him. Yah, one of those two.


I think I would probably do the second one redface
I would do the latter. I'd tackle him! I'd do the same with a decently good Victorian goth too...

Yeah, but only few like die heart fans will do that. No one celebrity is loved by all.

I doubt any celebrity will go out and say they're a lolita. Plus, parents are going to go against it since they'll think it has to do with *****. Yes, there is Gwen Stefani saying she loves Harajuku girls or whatever, but those girls look AWFUL and wear headresses diagonally across their head. And I've yet to see anyone so far do that or call themself a Harajuku girl.


Eep. I knew a girl who called herself a Harajuku girl. She was all "I love lolita and when I listened to Gwen's CD I found out that Lolitas also call themseles Harakuku girls." And I had to explain to here what lolita was and that Harajuku was a place in Tokyo where people cosplayed on the weekends. Not just lolita, but ALL forms of cosplay take place in Harajuku.
dude. i had to explain the EXACT SAME THING to my friend because she heard gwen's new album.


she was also talking about 'vivienne west'. i was like, "um, do you mean vivienne westWOOD, the famous designer? confused "
who doesn't know Vivienne Westwood? she was one of the founding creaters of punk and to a lesser extent goth and death rock

I'm trying to convince a guy friend of mine that he should at least try to wear something lolita once. He has the right kind shape for it. Thuogh I have another friend and he's overly polite and sounds as if he just came out of the victorian era. He will listen to nothing but classical music and opera.

I don't think its going to get too popular. Most of the people I know either say its stupid, or say "Its cute, but I would never wear it." Lolita is for a select group of people with the right mind, the right sense of style, and who are more than a little creative.
Its also not for tomboys, and you would be surprised how many there are in Canada. @-@ I would know, I used to be one. (But a lot of tomboys don't have feminine bodies, whereas I've had breasts since first grade. Its only natural I drifted over to a girl fashion, ne?)

Its not 'doomed', just being recognized as a legitimate fashion. Its not going to become the new poser-look, because most posers think it looks dumb. And posers dress to match, meaning the guys would have to wear Lolita too. And... Its not what most people would want to see a guy wearing in public, or in private, since its dresses and skirts and blouses, and society generally frowns upon cross-dressers. Even with our current 'sexual revolution', its still not going to become something people do just to piss off their parents, and you're not going to see a North American male star starting to wear Lolita dresses (not a female one, to the best of my knowledge) and pull it off nicely enough to popularize it wide-spread. I'm sorry, there aren't enough feminine males in Hollywood. (And Clay Aiken can't popularize an entire fashion all on his own, trust me.)
I mean, its not like the Backstreet Boys are going to start wearing AmaLoli Dresses or Zombie Lolita skirts, and so on. (Besides, if Lolita were going to get popular, it would have to be someone big like Christina Agulera, Britteny Spears, Hillary Duff, Kelly Clarkson, or Lindsay Lohan who popularize it, and truthfully, I would only want to see Hillary and Kelly in the clothing anyways. And I doubt either of them would wear it - mind you, I would love to have a day with Hillary Duff to tell her how much I hate her music and her image, and totally remake her. XD)
And I highly doubt todays male society would get into Kodona, being that most guys are more interested in tits than they are their clothing. So I don't think we have much to worry about.


I completely agree with you. o:

Thank you. Heh. I'm glad I make sense, since I figured I was simply rambling.

I really don't think it's doomed. I welcome it's popularity, I think that everyone should have the chance to look and feel as purdy as I do in a petticoat and lace. It's not like it wasn't a popular fashion before and in case no one has noticed, trends repeat themselves. although I really don't think it'll catch on that much (the clothes may be imitated but not properly) it'll just be clothes, I wish someone would explain it to the public. I can not help but want to share what makes me happy with everyone. When a prep asks me where I got my dress, I am glad to tell them and in detail. although I have yet to see them in lolita they could be closet cases (my sister is).

the only way it could be doomed is if it continued to expand, which hasn't happened yet, in my opinion. I do think it could use someone similar to say, Mana, only new.

If he was two years older than I was I'd still ask him out. I go for men who wear Lolita or Victorian Goth...they're alway the gentlemen.

With all the appearences of Goth Lolita fashion in the last couple of weeks, do you really think that lolita fashion is doomed or do you think everyhting is going to work out and lolita will never see the light of day?


i think its definately going down the same road as goth and punk. before you know it, its going to be warped even worse and incorporated in mallcore fashion.
(winces) If they kill the fashion, lolita is doomed. xp
