Alpha Drug The first... and last day I ever wore lolita to high school. I'd worn it all day with almost no problem, just some laughs and giggles here and there, but people were used to me wearing weird stuff. But at the end of the day I'm climbing onto the bus to go home and some dumb a**'d ghetto b***h decides to come in my face and say, "Oh! So your one of those stripper maids!" WTF? Really? Ignorant jerk. She just giggled and walks away to her throne in the back of the bus. I'm in such shock I have nothing to say or reply to that. (Now granted this was when I'd first started wearing lolita and the first time I'd worn it outside of an anime convention, and looking back now I was a total ita but she had NO REASON to say that s**t.) Ugh! Such ignorance! And she had the very nerve to even say that to you! I too would love to take a time machine to that moment and teach her a thing or two about lolitas. twisted

Karate kick Cupcake Razeasha Karate kick Cupcake Oh cool Razeasha! You live in my area of Virginia! Norfolk can definitely be a dangerous place and especially if you're not paying attention of your surroundings. Wasn't a student mugged on that campus last year or am I thinking of another school? Students are mugged here about once a month. It's worse right before the holidays. @ Mouse: I'm sorry that people gave you crap. Also, country towns can be worse than cities sometimes, especially if the inhabitants are closed-minded. You said you studied martial arts for a year, what form of martial arts may I ask? Because I am interested in learning how to defend myself and I dont know where to begin as a beginner. My fiance has taught me a few tricks to bring down someone if they were to try to grab me but I want to learn more defensive maneuvers. I took self-defense (goshinjutsu) for a year and aikido for half a year.

I wish I could go back in time disguised as a boy band and make a bunch of cool music videos about how lame it is to make fun of other people and to just be classy and appreciative and polite... sad
In fact, I wish I could disguise myself as a rock band NOW and promote all that stuff. Because not enough people are doing it. I just saw some Super Sweet 16 on youtube, and boy howdy, if those snots aren't the same girls I had to put up with in school... stressed

I've never been harassed when wearing lolita. The couple times I've worn it to work I've been told I'm adorable. Someone else told me I looked exactly like Barbie. This one guy told me how cute I was and that he loved my outfit, then he started talking about his new phone and it had a camera on it but he wasn't sure if it worked so he was "testing" it by taking my picture. I mean if he wanted one that bad he could just have asked, right?

I personally think lolita is not something for everyday.
When I see a girl at the store or something in heavy lolita, I CRINGE!
We have a big Korean supermarket here, and I saw some girls there who were overweight and heavily dressed in lolita garb. I mean, bags, umbrella, boots, everything.
I thought it was kind of pretty, but all the Asian people there were LAUGHING! Even my boyfriend who is Asian thought they looked ridiculous.
I guess it is a way of expressing yourself, but even Japanese girls in Japan don't wear it casually. It is an event for them, with their friends, at events or Fashion areas.

I personally would not walk around with an umbrella unless I was at the park or beach. I also do not like the bonnets, hats, or other crazy hair pieces. I like ribbons, bows, and hair pins. Also those girls might have been wearing lolita specifically designed for cosplay. If it has to much bows, lace, or is a satiny material it's not for everyday use.

I agree, overdoing it is obviously begging for attention. And usually the negative kind. And goddess forbid that I ever meet a stranger that gets turned on by a frilly dress... stressed

Today at my meet-up some dumb boys walked past our group and yelled, "I like your costumes!" Ugh. I hate being looked upon as someone who is "In costume" because this is me and I love my pretty dresses and frills.

cagalli1543 I personally would not walk around with an umbrella unless I was at the park or beach. Really? I was using mine before I got into lolita. But I'm really pale and I don't like freckles.

Really? I carry my lacy umbrella around all the time...
Then again, before the ruffles and lacy edges and embroidery, it was a plain ol' black Totes, sport sized with double layers for storm winds and inversion reduction. I live in WA. Giant umbrella = heart

A Doll Named Mouse The stripper maid comment was actually a form of harassment, when someone makes a sexual jest or insult, you don't have to tell them to stop before it's harassment, it already is. But I totally see where you're coming from, words don't call for physical violence. Don't worry, I don't think any of us would stoop so low as to beat someone up for their words. At least I hope not. We'll save the face ruining for if someone tries to throw us in the back of a car. I guess what I'm trying to express is that beating someone up for calling you a stripper is extreme and unladylike. There is a time to bring things to a physical level, and then there's times to just glance over in disdain and smirk, "Stripper? And yet I'm the one fully clothed." I'm not saying that her behavior or comments were appropriate, I just want to be clear. It seems we are in agreement on most of the subject.

I barely go outside and I think it a pain to carry an umbrella, purse, etc. all at the same time.
