After my career in Japanese interpretation and translation I am, with the money I saved and bonds I am pre-approved , I will open a Lolita/Japanese Fashion Store in America!


What does this mean?


...I means...

* Affordable Lolita

* American Sizing!

* Accessible Location/Shipping

* Japanese imports as well as Custom made Dresses, blouses, shirts and other Lolita fashions!

* Lolita Uniforms for my Workers and Basic Japanese lessons!

* Lolita accessories, fashion magazines, novels and decorations!

* A customized Cafe

AND MORE!

I just need to know where to put it!

See, i"m planning on not living in this place. However, I would want to go to a store closeby still. I'm thinking that the best idea would be to put it in a busy spot so the most amount of people can benefit from it. smile I wont tell you what I voted; but I'lls ay that I'm torn between a place like Boston and somewhere in Callifornia. Mm. Maybe when you get tons and tons of business you can open another store in the place I didnt chose. whee

Personally I don't do lolita, but I voted for my friends who do. New York would be a fabulous place. Everything Asian is available in California so why not bring it where it isn't already? New York is the fashion center of the US so why the heck not open a lolita store there? Tons of lolis from CT and other neighboring states go there for things like karaoke so I'm sure they'd love to be able to buy clothes there too!

Thank you for your comments! I will take them into consideration. 3nodding I personally would love to have it in Boston.

But I will go where the public demands!

Ah that would be awesome! California would be a good place, because it's close to here, because there's a large Asian community? Maybe New York would work too... There's so many different people there..
I would love if there was a shop like that around here..

Well, I'm biased since I live in Cali, so I choose Cali. However, because it's such a large state, I don't know where you'd put it. I guess the obvious place would be in one of the Japan towns...though I did hear rumors that Baby the Stars Shine Bright was going got put one in the San Francisco Japan town....so....I don't know, maybe Little Tokyo in L.A.?.

But, you know, what might work out for you is doing an online business as well as a home location. In this way people from around the country can still shop at your store. It seems to have worked out well for Candy Violet's line. Either, way I'll probably be a customer if it does work out. 3nodding Oooo so exciting! Nothing like the fresh smell of Lolita goodness in the U.S. heart

It seems like California is winning! But in reality, it's at a tie. See, I voted CA, but I'm really not sure now! >w<

CALIFORNIA!!!! I live there and I would really love to have a store that sells lolita close by. It'd be awesome if it was in San Diego (since that's where I live) but Los Angeles would be awesome too (since it's only two hours away). Me and my best friend love Japan! So it'd be cool if it was in California. Then I wouldn't have to order them online which sometimes isn't good since you don't know if it will look good on you or if it'll fit if you order one online.

Have you decided on a location yet? Or are you debating still? O.o?


...But we must wait for the opportunity to fly...
PostPosted: Sat May 23, 2009 7:46 pm


now if you ask me....I personally think it should be somewhere in between the east and west coast. you'd be in the middle. that way you'd be of somewhat equal distance for all the demands.

I think it should be in a larger city: New York, Boston, L.A., Washington D.C...

How come there are no votes for DC?! It's the capitol for God's sake!

My Parents are really supportive of it, it is kinda scaring me. Thank you for all the feedback! I am really excited to have this thing get underway.

We are going to have a "branch off" online store that will contain anime/manga apparel and Cosplay we think too. SO exciting! :3
