Welcome to Gaia! ::

my dad cant really tell me not to wear anything because him or my stepmom have done almost everything i want to do. my stepmom wears her underwear on stage while singing as a stage gimmick (the band is called naked beggars) and my dad has done just about everything with hair and makeup that you can do. i have a lot of freedom that way because both of them have really unique styles, so they cant try to tell me to dress conservatively.

My mom said some people would think I'm in a play or came froma wedding xd

me and my friends used to be like that, we once got the entire grade to dress in clothes from different time periods that we were studing in school, we even got the teachers to give extra credit, but once we got to the sixties, they put a halt to things. you can dress in a toga, in victorian dresses, but they draw the line at tie-dye. but we did leave the school with a lasting impression, they can dress as flappers, where evening gowns but you can't dress the freshman up, no cross dressing during homecoming, no pajamas, and no pant legs as hats, the american flag is not to be worn as a strapless dress, and i could get away with wearing whatever costume i wanted but if sera tried to wear the same thing, she'd get sent home, i miss high school.
now i don't even get noticed for what i wear, the japanese students think it's pretty cool and tell me everyday that they have people in japan that dress like me. other than that my friends notice when i get a new dress and comment on what they think about it.

In 10th grade, I had tranferred to an arts highschool, so we had fun wearing whatever the heck we wanted. That was when I started getting into Gothic Lolita. My senior year a friend and I wore our Chii dresses I had made to school one day. I've always been known as the girl who makes her own clothes, so nobody really minded whatever I wore...though some of it has been a little embarassing. Actually, I've been dressing up since elementary school. Kids were really mean about it then. In 2nd grade, for picture day, I wore this "pioneer-ish" dress and sun bonnet. It was so much fun...but later on I was embarassed that I had done that. One girl once told me that my earrings had "ruined the class picture." I wasn't even wearing anything interesting that day. *****! It wasn't 'till I got into highschool and free of my ungly middleschool "dress-code" that I was able to dress up again without being so self concious.

It is fun, when I do dress that way. I'm hoping that this summer will be a mostly Lolita summer, but who knows. If (when, hopefully) I get a job, I may need to dress sweet Lolita, and not have all the accessories. sad

Yea, I work at a fabroc sotre and this week alone so many people are getting materials to make star wars costumes. now they are wearing this to a big ewven where thoudads of people will be, but they are afraaid of telling others about it? Odd ne?
Personally as anyone who knows me can tell you, i am fearless, I'll post three stories up on the ledge and wear damn near anythig damn near anywhere.
But at the same time i know what its like to be stuck in the strick end of the world for what you can and can't wear.

i used to be just liked that. not give a damn, just go out and love the stares, until it got violent sweatdrop
But i think still, the only way i can be myself is all my piercings and hair. I love going into college with my hair all over the place, people just remember me for my crazy hair, and i love it whee no one really can do nor say anything about hair, hair is hair and people can have it as they want biggrin
But i think todays world should be more open to different styles, i really wanna just walk around and look like a walking talking doll...and be accepted :/

*glomps*

I agree. I would love to open a boutique with Gothic Lolita and other neat styles in it. That would be so lovely. heart
