/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Man some of the stores I read about girls in public make me pretty happy to have not received such a horrible experience quite yet.
Don't get me wrong, the teasing and slandering and awkward stares do happen and I feel as though I am dwindling on the fine line between socially acceptable and downright wrong, but really all the negative attention only comes from wearing sweet lolita in public (as opposed to most of the more 'socially acceptable' responses I get in classic lolita).

I guess I could share just one story though to help out with some of the negative ones that are going to flood here :
>Be in High School, years ago
>Wear some classic lolita
>Go to pizza place/ restaurant with dad
>People staring at me weird
>Wait for our order
>Waitress comes, has a huge smile on her face
>"Oh I wanted so bad to see your outfit! The people in the back said a girl was dressed differently in the front so I wanted to see! You must be one of those gothic lolitas huh! From Japan?"
>Can't help but smile, inform her I'm from the states
>She compliments my dress
>Day was made
