Lolita and drugs don't have anything to do with each other, really.

A case can be made both for and against them in conjunction with Lolita, but in the end, they're two different things.

True.

And the lolitas I'm talking about is some of the ones on egl that actually can dress.
But then even then, those who are kissing a** are only doing it because it's Oh noez! Nobara is in twouble! I'm just defending him because I don't believe they needed to ******** his whole s**t up for just a little bit of something.

Besides that, if he happens to have some kind of psychiatric disorder like Bi-polar or Depression or something, I think that smoking weed would be beneficial for him. Besides, we hardly know about him in the first place. So we may not know what his condition may be.

But yeah, he did an offense. He's in trouble for it. I just think that the penalties are too harsh.



Oh, btw, I hear that BABY is still allowing you to order some of his items now, they're just not showing it on their site.
Oooo Isobe, you are baaad. lol.

rofl He probably started taking it when he was in California a few months ago! I lol'd when I saw the post on EGL LJ. xD

ilu Nobara. I wonder how he was acting for the policeman to be suspicious, though.


@Annai; Couldn't have said it better than myself.

He was probably just standing around wearing that outfit from his latest GLB shoot.

Well we have to take into consideration he lives in Japanese society, not American. If he lived here and he got caught with pot, most would shrug it off, and some would even laugh and say things like " Well now we know why he dresses like that!". I have a hard time believing the fashion industry of the US would completely write him off for a one time offense with marijuana, but as I stated, he wasn't in the US. This is probably standard procedure for the hard-nosed business minded Japanese culture.

My aunt, She has depresion and all sorts of things wrong with her, she cant talk and she cant move shes a vegtable. The only thing that can restore her is actually the shunned upon "MJ" But you know, theyd rather have her die then touch that stuff. I feel for Novala. Like alice said, hes probably going to commit suicide. : (
Or he could ******** society and once he gets out and continue what he love, but that takes an iron will in the oriental regions ._.

Pardon my french BTW


I'm all for using certian drugs to help with medical problems. But Novala was just doin' it for kicks and giggles. Its pretty obvious he's not a vegtable.

I don't think I particularly agree with the whole picture "we support you" project. What is that saying? "We support you (and your drugs!)"? talk2hand

You seem to have misread the purpose. This isn't a thing to applaud him for doing drugs but rather a way to offer some compassion for when he realizes he has lost everything. Everyone deserves to feel in the hardest of their times that some is compassionate about their situation.

Lol Isobe is awesome! He takes the items down from viewing but still allows orders for it. I respected that man so much before but now I do even more.

Marijuana isn't as horrible as everyone makes it out to be. I have loads of stoner friends, and most of them are intelligient, creative, healthy teenagers (a couple of them are idiots, but you know...you get those with everything). I loved Kamikaze Girls, so I simply hope this doesn't damage things for him too badly.

No, I did not misread the purpouse. I understand the fact that people would want to do it to make him feel better or something, but I think using "We support you", those specific words, would send out the wrong message. Especially to people not familiar with lolita, they would think we are supporting his choice to do drugs, and not supporting him through this tough time.

@ AmaniKitty: The penalties are usually too harsh =___=..... I feel badly for everyone in his situation. They need help, not a jail sentence.

I mean, he can easily get off it, unless he's been smoking it 24/7 or something.
They can go ahead and penalize him, but don't do it in such a way where he's lost all his ways of making that monthly income.

What about signs that sat "we still love you, and always will" ?

I think he'd actually appreciate hand-written notes more than a sign. He does have rather romantic ideals. Even if he can't read English (I don't know if he can) I'm sure he'd appreciate that you not only thought of him, but took the time to write a note. Believe me, getting snail mail is a lot more exciting and heart-warming than a photo or email.

Just my thoughts.

That's very true the only problem is with his website down no one can email him so we're left with writing to him in jail xp . I think it would be nice if some people did write snail mail to him and if some people don't want to then that's okay too. I just find it that for something as such he was severely penalized and instead of incarceration he should be put into a program. I wonder how many would actual want to do it.

Honestly, you all couldnt see that he was so obviously on SOMETHING with that last bible spread?

Drinking (underage too LOL), druggin, sexin, wtf ever you want to do, do it. Just dont sell me your jumpers if you have c** stains or they smell like pot, kay thanks.

It would be nice to send him a letter. I heard that because it's his first conviction, they night let him off with a lighter sentance (or atleast, that's what girls on egl say).
