Cyber-Lolita---Can it be Done?
I've become a big fan of cyberlox and raver goggles, and I was wondering if they can be loliable at all. I thought since there was decora lolita, steampunk, and even pirates, that there is room for cyber. What do you guys think about cyber-loli? Can some of it be incorporated? I have read through past entries, but I want more of an "updated" opinion.

Some pics that might help:

CYBER LOX / DREAD FALLS: 1 2

GOGGLES: 1 2

(I'm not too sure about the legwarmers, however...they're cute though)

if done veeery carefully(and you'll likely get flamed for this post), i think cyberloli is possible and adorable. as to legwarmers, if they're not those furry ones, they can be used! after all, putumayo has several punk loli skirts that incorporate them. you could go for a sweet cyber using all pink and white and silver, or maybe a darker version with black and some bright color like green or blue. just keep the makeup a little more low-keyed, too...

	That's what I was thinking! Nothing to overshadow lolita, but enough to know that there is some cyber in there! Thanks for the input! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I think any attempts for far come out as a neon colored candy goth with no hope of belonging in the loli family... It just doesn't seem right. Lolita glances at elegance and beauty of the past, and cyber looks towards the future. You could try incorporating hair styles and accessories and see what happens though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think cyber loli is awesome and should totally be done! I was thinking tastefully coloured synthetic dreads with something like AP's neon cupcake jsks. I actually wear dreads with h naoto for a industrial cyber lolita look :3 (Reply to this)

	I really think you could do it! Like randomisgemini said, something sweet and cyber--I'm thinking pink and black. Start with a loli base and incorporate cyber bit by bit. Do share pics if you try it! (Reply to this)

	yeah i think this could be done and would look great! after all - who says you have to follow the fashoin exactly - if you like cyber, incorporate it into lolita, make it your own! (Reply to this)

	I think that sounds like a really cute idea, I've seen it done very nicely before! I would try to make the cyber a little lesser and try to make the lolita come out more. :D (Reply to this)

	i'm pretty sure you could mix the two and make something amazing out of it, but then i doubt i could call it loli. lolita and cyber inspired, yes, maybe lolita inspired cyber, but probably not cyber inspired loli. know what i mean? (Reply to this)

	i'm totally trying this out too. i'm all for it!! (Reply to this)

	lofandrea 2008-11-25 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	I think it could be done. I've seen attempts, but they lost the lolita magic. It'd have to be planned carefully, I'd start with a lolita base. I think most attempts start with the cyber base. Also, adding very sweet things could help. Like accenting a goggle with lace ((if you do it right)) would probably actually be cute if done right. (Reply to this)

	i really like the idea of cyber loli! maybe with this: http://i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/e3/53/c78f_1.JPG http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u30/Narciccistic/Hair%20Falls/PICT1026.jpg (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wow those hello kitty goggles are so cute! * o * I love the fake dreads too, cyberlox ftw! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I just wanted to post this for fun XD Its SO FAR from actually being Lolita, but whenever someone mentions "cyber Lolita" I always think of this: This was my costume for a play called "Return to the Forbidden Planet"... whenever I imagine "cyber lolita" I think of a girl wearing a more cupcake shaped skirt like that one and with a similar crazy hairstyle XD (Reply to this) (Thread)

	actually, wait a second XD... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I recall a post recently about the same topic. (Reply to this)

	pui_puni 2008-11-25 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe something closer to this? XD (Another costume from the same play) Complete with Bloomers, headbow, and poofy sleeves XD (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think it could be done, but it borders the line of fail and win very cautiously. As long as you think Lolita first, cyber second, then you should be good. Not nearly as ridiculous Boholita. (Reply to this)

	I think that Cyber Lolita could be done if you seriously study both cultures and fashion. if the Cyber elements come from more Cyber-Victorian styles I think it would work better the full out Cyber. I have worn goggles with lolita but it was for a Steampunk lolita outfit. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	petticat 2008-11-25 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	I LOVE this outfit, whenever you post it I wish I had a bustle skirt. I really need to come to a Chicago meetup soon so I can meet you and the other lolitas I always see pictures of. : ] (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	It's not really cybergoth it's more J-cyber (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I quite like the idea of cyber-lolita. I'm not sure how to make it work, though. Pastel yarn falls, AP clothes, goggles...pretty much the only things I can think of now, but oh well! I would totally wear it, though! (Reply to this)

	ellorgast 2008-11-26 03:29 am UTC (link)
	It's not so much an issue of other people telling you whether you can do it, as the fact that I've yet to see it done remotely well. Then again, with the crazy decora AP route that lolita's going, I'm sure it's only a matter of time. (Reply to this)

	So many people have asked about this recently I've been thinking about trying to put something together. I'm going to have to do some more research, but I feel like if someone could pull it off it would look really cute. (Reply to this)

	I've been wanting to do cyber lolita for years now, but I've yet to get around to doing so. Something awesome for cyber lolita could be a Dane style-d cutsew, with a corset drawn in their wire-frame style. Lotta work though. :x (Reply to this)

	i agree to a certain extent. with fashion, i tend to combine styles since i like so many, as long as it looks good, and when people ask me to label it (what is that style you're wearing? goth?) i usually fail to come up with a good answer, aside from "me". Wear what you want as long as it looks good is my opinion =) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	i did a cyber-like lolita http://community.livejournal.com/egl/12216982.html?thread=239551894 and i do sell falls similar to the ones i am wearing on my etsy. www.bunnyko.etsy.com i think it can work well! i'd like to see a loli with goggles and big fluffy legwarmers. =) (Reply to this)
