30 day lolita challenge post 7

Day 7 – people who inspire your lolita style.

It will be hard to find 10 people for this, so I just put some.

1. Hirooka Naoto- aka H. Naoto. He is a designer that has so many layers to his brand: H. Naoto Frill, H. Naoto Blood, H. Anarchy, Hangry and Angry, hEAVEN, Hn+nois, and more. His couture stuff is amazing and even though he isn't my favorite style of lolita, his ingenious concoctions amaze me constantly and I strive to be a designer as diverse as he is.

Day 6 – 10 things you can’t live without in lolita.

1. A petticoat- or three. Without that, the lolita image just isn't there (unless your in kodana, then skip the petti- you'll just look like a weirdo with a petticoat over your pants).

10 things I hate about lolita.

1. The limit of sizing for brands, a lot of the stuff I really like I can't buy because it won't fit. My broad shoulders and big boobs just aren't fitting in there
:(
2. Prices, although I understand them better than most- a lot of AP stuff is limited and I can see hand work in it. It is also SO expensive to print your own prints. OMG- yea.

3. The low toleration of newbies, I know it's annoying to answer the same questions that you learned forever ago, but hey- we were all newbs at one point.

4. USA lolitas seem to have giant sticks up their butt about mixing the fashion with other stuff. I understand there is the style lolita, but I can still wear the dress without HAVING it be lolita. Calm down, it's a dress.

5. Shoes with snaps and buckles, the buckles work just fine- the snaps don't. I didn't pay $60 for my strap to pop off every 5 minutes. I hate how this is becoming more and more popular.

6. Cheap accessories with big price tags. It's plastic AP, PLASTIC.....why $35 for a plastic ring?

7. Replicas that actually have the name of the brand printed on the replica. Why hello Ebay, look at this Baby the Star Shine Bright replica with the name emblazoned across the bottom. Totally shameful.

8. Crazy over the top shit.

9. I'm a slob- slobs and expensive clothes just don't mix.

10. The lack of boobs in lolita, I have boobs....why no one else have boobs? Seriously- not cleavage--boobs-- just adult body shapes would be nice.

Day 2 – 10 things you love in lolita.

1. I love that lolita has so many genres and that I don't have to choose to be sweet all the time or gothic all the time. I can jump between my favorite styles and be different every time I dress up.

2. My lolita friends! They are so awesome!

3. Lolita lets me express myself, I can make my own dresses and accessories and just go all out. I can be crafty and stay away from scrap booking :p

4. Angelic Pretty

5. Alice and the Pirates

6. Mini hats- this includes tricorns, boater hats, sailor hats, marching band hats, top hats...hell! any kind of hat is better in mini form.

7. Giant Hair is quite normal, I love that my hair can be like 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide. (I usually look happier with giant hair then this person)

8. Prints! I am in love with prints on fabric. I love finding prints and using prints and anticipating new prints from brands.

9. I can feel absolutely beautiful without the least bit of cleavage. I feel beautiful because I think so, and I'm not judging it based on how many men offer to buy me a drink or look at my ass.

10. It's different, what can I say- it's the hipster in me. I love that lolita is a different style than the norm and anyone else into it automatically has a bond with you.

Day 1 – 10 things about your lolita bubble.

I'm not sure what exactly this means, but hey- let's give it a go shall we? My lolita bubble is basically in my head all the time. I barely get to wear it on a weekly basis. I'm an older lolita (as in I'm older than 25) so my day job gets in the way of wearing my over the top sweet co-ord (damn social standards). But my brain thinks about lolita all the time. To me, lolita is a fashion- and one that makes me feel frilly and pretty without feeling overly girly. Normally ruffles and lace and pink would make someone feel pretty girly, but maybe because it is such an extreme style it doesn't make me feel as girly as when I'm wearing an pink cardigan and heels. I feel more at home in bloomers than in slacks. Lolita also makes me feel ageless, like my brain. I'm not young or old, I just am. And I am quite beautiful too, lolita is the best pick me up ever and makes me feel put together in a way that matching earrings never could.
