A Lolita is someone who dresses in this fashion. A Lolita may simply dress in the fashion, they not have to act the part unless they so choose to. You are not any less of a Lolita because you do not like the taste of tea and would rather listen to Black Sabbath than Bach. The Lolita police do not come to your house and confiscate your petticoats if you swear and have tattoos.
Lolita has a lot of terms and abbreviations, if you're curious about any of them, check out this glossary.
This kind of Lolita has nothing to do with the dressing like the other type of Lolita. I promise. To read more about why Lolita is named the way it is, check out this post.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! I fixed it just now :3
DeleteHow do I come out to my boyfriend about wanting to be a lolita? All my friends know and are thrilled, I even purchased my first outfit and extentions. However, every time I get close to telling him him he say something about lolita that makes me never want to tell him. Like today i was watching a shit lolita's say video and mentioned the girl looked funny (she had a big nose), and he said only girls without an ounce of body fat look good in lolita, I asked him to elaborate and he said no boobs, no curves, no tummy, I'm skinny but I have quite large boobs for my size. So I totally feel like he will never except this part of me. He already has trouble excepting and understanding me liking to dress up as a guy.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, don't be intimidated by your boyfriends wants. Dressing in lolita is for YOU, not for other people. If you really love lolita, you can do it, despite what other people will say. When you get out there, there's gonna be tons of people who aren't going to like your style and they may say nasty remarks, but if it makes YOU happy, who cares?
DeleteAnd are you kidding? The lolita fashion is a sub-culture in JAPAN and honestly...*cough cough* us Asians don't got a lot of boob or curvature in the first place. Please accept that whatever you have now is perfect for lolita! So there!
Fun love how she misleads she failed to mention that she is putting words in his mouth and when she did finally ask him what he thought of Lolita he simply gave his opinion and she threw a temper tantrum and slapped him and instigated a fight between him and his family at their house
DeleteThat link seems to be rebroken. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteLolita fashion is about expressing femininity with a distinctive silhouette, often inspired by antiquity. It's not about conforming to specific behaviors or tastes. You can still be a Lolita whether you prefer Black Sabbath over Bach, or have tattoos and swear. The essence lies in the fashion, not rigid rules
Lolita is a Japanese fashion style emphasizing femininity and a distinct silhouette with petticoats. It's about the clothing, not behavior. You can still be a Lolita even if you prefer Black Sabbath over Bach, have tattoos, or don't like tea. It's all about the fashion, not stereotypes.
