I seem to be retarded cause I can't see anything on the victorian Maiden website hinting they are closing down. There is ony the 20th anniversary, a valentines fair and advertisement for a mobage.
I'm sorry for being stupid, but where do they announce their closure?

Always the same shit, what a nice way to encourage newcomers.

Good job, me

Does anyone have a good list of scholarly/academic articles to do with Lolita Fashion? I've found a couple good ones but I'm certain that there's been someone before me who must have compiled them into a list. At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

Did it take longer than usual, though? I was really hoping to wear it to a meet I have in a bit over a week...really hoping it's not stuck in customs.

It doesn't say anything past: "Leave Qingdao to New York Kennedy Airport (transit)", although USPS's tracking says it hasn't left China whatsoever. Don't even know who I could possibly call to check on it.

it just looks befitting of a fairy queen, imo. i adore it ridiculously.

C'mon guys, here's not the place to discuss her.

Go to the farm, there is a thread there for her.

Good luck, gulls. I'll see you in the pit.

Ugh, I bought so much shit on this sale that my credit card got blocked because of "suspicious activity".

And half of my payments are pending. I'm scared of them being rejected since my card is getting denied now.

>pls help

Are payment plans really that common? Maybe I'm just odd, but I absolutely detest the thought of buying something I cannot immediately pay for.

If I cannot afford it reasonably, I wait and hold it off until I can. The second I find out I won an auction or anything, I pay for it immediately.

I guess I'm the weird one.

being honest the scalping is mostly an AP based problem. There is no other brand where releases are that much of a bloodbath on a regular basis only to find them hours after the realease on mbok for ridicouls high prices. And exactly this behaviour i find the most problematic. They are already not enough dresses, yet you have at least 10 if not even more poeple only buying these on release to scalp.
Unfortunatly even if when shun that behavoir like we did with replicas it won't have much impact bacuase it's happening in the asian market, directly at the source. Only AP can do something about that, but obviously they don't seem willing to, which fucking sucks.
Only thing that's left is stalk update sites like crazy and pray to the loligods to be the fastest when sending a message to an instore SS. Sad but true.
