/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Thought this might be worth mentioning, I came back from Japan a few weeks ago and made a point of visiting some of the lolita haunts. I was quite surprised and admittedly pleased to discover that actually for the most part, many of the lolitas seemed to be in their late 20s - mid-30s . What Japanese woman seem to be very good at however is looking after themselves and applying make-up beautifully. It was only really close-up that I realised a lot of the women dressing in lolita weren't young at all. I think if you put the effort in to look polished, it really makes all the difference plus being quietly self-confident with an a air of 'don't give a shit' certainly helps.

Kokusyoku Sumire are in their mid-30s, exhibit all the qualities mentioned above and are clearly still rocking it :D
