xxxxxxxxHave you ever had a question that you didn't know who to ask?
xxxxxxxxHave you ever had a question that you didn't know who to ask?
xxxxxxxxOr perhaps, one that you were afraid to? Many of us don't live
xxxxxxxxin Japan, so it's hard to gather information if we don't have any
xxxxxxxxconnections with Japanese people. Well, luckily, some here in
xxxxxxxxthe guild do have those connections. So, if you have a question
xxxxxxxx─and no question is too small, just ask! Someone is bound to
xxxxxxxxbe able to answer it for you. And, who knows? Maybe someone
xxxxxxxxelse has the same question as you!




User Image qυєsтισи:
I love lolita so much! I never want to stop wearing it... Would I be totally crazy to be wearing lolita well into my 40s?
αиsωєя:
As a matter of fact, you wouldn't be crazy at all. In Japan, there is lolita available for all ages. And, the best part, is that as you get older, the lolita matures with you so you don't appear as if you're trying to look young again.

Am I allowed to ask a question? If not, just delete this.

I've heard "kawaii" referred to as a style in Japan. I thought it was just a word, but is it a style as well?

Emo is just a word as well, and yet it's used as a style. Kawaii means cute. I think that in reference to a style it would be cute clothing possibly having to do with lolita. There are a number of styles of lolita and it would make sense that one would be 'kawaii.' Yama could give you more info on that though.

That's a really good question, actually. I dunno. I think it's been used to describe subculture of fashion though. Like... How there is Hime/Princess Lolita Style I think there might be a Kawaii/Cute Lolita Style too. I know that a lot of things are super cute in Japan though too... maybe it's used as more of a adjective? Dunno!
