Welcome to Gaia! ::

As I don't dress loli at this time, I don't have anything to contribute -- but I thought it would be interesting to create a thread wherein one could talk about some of their experiences while dressed loli. Like, your parents'/friends' reactions, people on the street, store clerks, etc. 3nodding

Woah, Arte that is so creepy... I'm going to start bring my body guard(Darkened Shadow) with me everytime I go out. ;P

Haven't.. really.. gotten the chance to put an outfit together.. I have lots of pictures of dressed and stuff on my wall. My parents don't like them.. so I think I know what their reaction would be if I wore a lolita dress and went out in public. Which, hopefully, I will one day!

I don't have those problems, my mom loves my clothes and my dad thinks they're cute. My mom is just tired of taking me into thrift stores because the ones around here are creepy and going into a thrift store makes my mom nervous so she prefers me to make my own stuff and tries to get me the stuff I like from Angelic Pretty and such. <3 She says that if she had the figure for the clothes I wear she'd wear them to!

And Murasaki, why not dress in male loli stuff first? See how they react, continue to wear the stuff, and eventually people will get used to it, and once you notice them getting used to it, that's when you do a bit of crossdressing.. that's my advice to you. You can never be truely lolita if you're scared to dress lolita. I have respect for you already, but I'll look up to you (as I'm sure everyone else younger than you here will too) and have everlasting respect for you if you dress the way you want without fear of people. People can't do anything to you other than not like you, but it doesn't matter if they don't like you, because you've got us here, we can be your support. smile

Oki, enough cheesy-ness. razz <33

aw. Thanks for the support! I really respect you guys who are off doing your thing without worrying about what other people think.

You're super inspiring! ^_^

I have worn Gothic lolita, Punk Lolita, and the experience was very interesting.
Oh man, the stares i got... LOL
I was dressed Punk lolita with my Black ruffle skirt, Putumayo Punk Lolita Girl Jacket, No Future Winter Hat, and my Platform Boots from Hot Topic.
I guess that explains everything (^^;
i was getting on the bus for Port Authority to head to NYC and the bus driver looks at me like he has never seen a person in Punk Fashion ever before.
Plus, every person that passed me in the bus stared at me like i was a new kind of human out there.
it's pretty funny when you actually think about it in the long run.
plus i'm used to getting stares because i unfortunately go to a very ghetto school and if i dress with my punk look of short skirt over pants thing, i always get stares and such.
It's fun in a way though.

I think I receive better reactions when I dress lolita than when I dress like a "goth," to be honest. As a lolita most people find me adorably cute and ask for me to pose for pictures. ... Lucky, maybe?

To only time I've felt uncomfortable as a lolita was when I look remarkably like a French maid... Too many horny little boys, I tell you...

I wore a skirt over pants in Junior High and I ended up starting a trend - preppy girls included, the trend is still in motion at my high school (but apparently the 80s are 'in').



I wish I got hit on by young hot guys. I always get hit on by gangster black guys (not racist, just saying) and perverted old men.



I get alot of compliments on my outfit by girls around the mall and at school, they think I look adorable, too, but I'm never asked to pose for pictures. I always thought it was a cultural difference, maybe it's just an Oklahoma thing? You know, in Japan people ask for pictures, and in many other places people ask for pictures, but in Oklahoma... you're insane if you want to take a picture of someone because you like their outfit, needless to say, no Okies will ask -anyone- for their picture inless the person's a football player or country singer. -.-;
