Happy 4th!
Long time no post...yes I'm lame
Here is a  red pink, white and blue pic of Star :D

also on my DA if the pic does not work for some reason.  I know there are other artists here, I was wondering if anyone would like to do an art anthology like Gothic Lolita Punk. I would do one myself but I draw way to slow
goes back to lurksville...

I'm mixed; I'm Welsh, Belgian, Native American, Mexican, and African. So does that mean I can become a part of this community or no?

I noticed a few people make remarks on this comm about not being able to afford brand. Here's another alternative to brand clothing that still looks nice, but is a little more affordable.



Lately I have been looking for some cheap filler clothes for my lolita wardrobe. AP, Baby, and Meta haven't been putting out any prints that make me want to buy them so I decided to check out the items that qcute  was offering on her page. Plus I needed another outfit for Otakon and I needed it fast.( Lots of pictures )

 EDIT: I've been trying to find a certain shade of red for liner and eye shadow for a while now. My skin is more or less a Mocha tone, so everything I put on foiled with either be brighter than its container or darker than needed. I wanted to know if anyone's ever had this issue before and what can I do to avoid it with my future colors?

Also, my skin is hyper sensitive to certain chemicals. So anything from Bare Minerals or Hyper Allerginics is cool.

I've noticed alot of Lolis and Dandies alike go to very antique to not so elegant places while wear their best. So, my question to you all is where do frequent while dressed in your finery? Besides Meet Ups, Gardens, and Shopping Malls. Show me your interesting, ladies and gents.

First of all, I can't express how excited I am to find this comm, and how mad I am that I didn't know about this place sooner!

I'm 24 and live/work in CA, USA. I have a huuuuge sweet tooth when it comes to food, but not so much for lolita--aristocrat and gothic are more of my style. I'm not a brand snob so I often feel alienated from the general lolita communities. I'm all about DIY and bargain shopping, so I get much joy in hunting down lolita styles at Goodwill! I also don't dress in lolita daily because my fashion taste is too voracious to stick to just one, but I am a sucker for lace and accessories (I'm a neo-Victorian at heart)…When I do dress in lolita, though, it's very watered down because I'm too shy to attract attention to myself, thought I hope to get the courage one day to dress all-out. I usually use Halloween as an excuse to dress up, like I did this past year:



My question to you all concerns head covering. As I was reading some of the comments on this post that people didn't like the look of the head scarf with the dress, I started thinking about hair in EGL. I often cover my hair (as in none of it shows) and find myself struggling to get it to "work" with my outfit. I often think "this would look so much cuter if I wore a headband/bow/etc instead of covering. Sometimes, though, I get my head scarf to go really well with my outfit (and get compliments at work!) and it feels great.

Are there others out there who manage to reconcile head scarves or hijab with Lolita fashion? And if so, pics please ^^? Thanks!

Let me know what you think!

I know it's a little close to the event, but blame the organizers of the con, not me. They seem to be taking a million years getting my info up. Blah.

Anyway, I'll post more info as I have it, but for now:



I hope you can come join me at Sogencon this year for the Victorian Picnic as well as the Lolita programming I'll be running.

Click the picture for the only info I have so far XD

Hello, just thought I'd introduce myself; I live in Chicago and although I've known about lolita and aristocrat fashion for almost ten years I've only recently developed greater interest in it. Hope to meet more lolitas of color in the future!

For the girls - not lolita, but a few of the pictures in particular give me a lolita feeling - and this is a 'goth' magazine with pictures of *gasp* BLACK MODELS.

Hi! My name is Jennifer. Please just call me Jenny. I'm a 17 year old high school girl that everyone thinks is weird because I'm into Japanese culture. (Ok maybe I am a bit weird) I've been lurking on the site for a while and decided to join so here I am. I'm into Wa, Punk, and Kuro. I haven't had the chance to actually wear any lolita yet so I don't have any pics to share but I'm working on it.

That being said that brings me to my question...

So I been working on an outfit for a while now and I found this skirt on this online store that I desperatly want to go with it. Only thing is that I don't know how the sizing chart works. It says that its a M but also gives measurements that I've seen on other sites as well. SO I guess my question is...How do I know if it's even in my size???? If it'll help any I'm a my pants size is a 15. I don't wear a lot of skirts to begin with so I can't give a skirt size. Sorry.

I hope that it didn't go on for too long...I'm kinda nervous too.

i'm wondering are the brand hair items made out of metal? i want to take care of my hair first and foremost and then look cute, and wouldn't want to buy any metal hairties. any suggestions from those out there who have hair accessories that are safe for our hair?
EDIT:http://splitends.bebto.com/causes.htm this site is very informative for those who haven't heard of the damage small or metal accessories do to not only our hair, but hair in general.

Did anyone go to the Inaguration? I did! I'm sure you all saw Aretha Franklin's hat (and prolly the photoshopping of that hat on the Lincoln statue and Obama's head). I know this is prolly a silly question regarding the cold of the day but did anyone attempt any lolita? Or did anyone just plain go?
