I don't think it's that fabulous...
But that is only because I don't agree with having a set of rules for "becoming" something.
That just eliminates creativity.


I agree with you completely! Having a set of guidelines is just simply ridiculous. Get into whatever you want, and if it happens to be Gothic Lolita, so be it! However, I don't think it's right to encourage others to conform to the ideals and steryotpes of a certain fasion or trend, simply to be 'hardcore', or whatever you want to call it. It eliminates creativity and variation in the style, and encourages everyone to look the same. It also forces people into things that they may not want to be, which to me, is just sickening. It's alright if you already have those characteristics. However, trying to conform to all those guidelines against your will, simply because you want to wear the clothes, to me, is detrimental to oneself, and is not in the the intrests of anybody.

I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think the style of clothing itself should be changed too much. Whenever I see it changed it becomes low-cut with lacy bras, short skirts, animal tails and or just looks like cheap hot topic clothing.

Has anyone noticed, though, that the princess cut tops are becoming very popular? That's a new thing. Change isn't all bad, as long as its not... well... slutty. talk2hand

The shiro- and kuro- rori picture is getting tiresome, yes. But those two girls under the pink parasol are so adorable. <333
The guide...? I'm fairly new to Loli, but I thought it was rather simplistic. But if you're investing that much money in it, you're doing research by default, by linking to Innocent World or h.Naoto or (Novala help us) Cosmates. So I don't think it's going to harm people, and it does a pretty good job considering the format.
I have *never* seen a dress at 300,000 yen before, though. Even Mana doesn't have the balls to mark his clothing up that high. Just a minor quibble. ^^;;

I believe that this article is a compilation of about eight others that I've read in the past [perhaps the other way around?]. The fact that it is kind of chopped up contributes to its sort of holier-than-thou attitude? I'm not sure. I think, perhaps, that having steps to "Become" something ought to be reserved to AA and at most weight loss. You can't just Become something by following those little rules and tips-- they're useful, but superficial for the most part.

There's a link on there that I think was a bit more interesting, as a side-note. The "How to act like you have manners" or something. Very highly beneficial, if not very well-written.
