Loyal readers,
Perhaps it is because I'm freer here to generally choose what I want to study here than at my home university, or perhaps it is because I study psychology at my home uni and I have studied sociology here, but I once again have been inspired by my schoolwork to be the best lolita I can be.
Yesterday, I finished my last paper of term and I was writing on if lolita should be considered a modern or postmodern subculture. I won't bore you on the details, but in my research I ran across many blogs and groups where lolitas of all stripes were discussing this most beautiful of subcultures. One part of me couldn't stand it: 'It's not fair,' I thought. 'Why do they have more hits than I do? How did THEY get so popular? What do they have that I don't?'.
Nothing really. Maybe a better layout, but my layout is pretty awesome anyway. Everyone starts out at the same place though--with just a few followers and simply giving their opinions. Perhaps it's because they have the money to go and review things like Angelic Pretty and Innocent World, but so what?
Yes, another part of me rose up to overcome those nagging doubts. I'm making a commitment, here and now. A vow before gods and lolitas alike to think at least once a day about how I can be a better lolita. I'll never loose my path again. I'm devoting myself to something more beautiful.
Soon, perhaps later today, I'll post an update about my love/hate relationship with sweet lolita. And I haven't forgotten about the long aricle I promised you in the summer my darlings. You'll have to stay tuned for that one.
I should have some money soon as well, so I'll get on that USB...
wanna to be a lolita girl and refuse to grow up or sanseed it, if we who can share a group with us that would be sooo cool
ReplyDeleteI'm not 100% sure what you mean, but I'm glad to see you have an interest in lolita. It's always good to meet new people, especially those who are interested in the culture :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be writing a post later about what lolita is and is not, but until then here's something to get you started on your research: http://www.lolitafashion.org/index.php
The corresponding forum (http://forums.lolitafashion.org/) is a nice place to chat and meet lolitas from all over the world.
If you have any questions that you want answered right away though, feel free to ask me :)
