I still have bed and got into trouble with alcoholism. Now I'm dealing with severe IBS where I throw up and have diarrhea usually several times a week. You absorb nearly all calories instantly no matter what but obviously still feel full. I used to chew and spit constantly and really fucked up my teeth and gums. I've gone from literally twice my ideal weight to within 20 pounds of it. Several times a months for around a week or two I can barely handle much more than white bread, oats, sweets, pureed rice and fruits, and things like candy. To quote your words get the fuck off your high horse. If you would've asked I would've given you tips for things to binge on. Like frozen blueberries, pickles, cucumbers, ice, and what to cut out and what helped me stop binging as much.

Everyone here besides the nitpicker trying to derail is talking about people too fat for modern AP, hence the discussions about brands not making things for them. It's not people's fault you're being off topic without making it clear.

Why are lolitas always so "ironic" these days?

>Tee hee I'm a lolita but I'm also a Tumblr edgemaster!

Are you guys all hipsters?

I used to love lolita, but the more I'm getting to know the people in it, the more I'm starting to think of it as vapid, empty headed materialism. Most of these girls are just dressing up as shit with no real attachment to any of the shit they're dressing up as and that's pretty disappointing.
There's probably no solution to the hipster appropriation of lolita, but I think it would help if more girls found one sub-style of lolita and stuck with it. Even when you're not wearing lolita, the fashion should still be reminiscent of your interests and reflect you're personality. If not, then you're pretentious cancer and should just stop wearing lolita imho.
For example...
>Goth lolitas only wearing gothic lolita, having gothic interests, and being gothy when not in lolita
>Classic lolitas having interests in granny shit and historical ladyhood
>Sweet lolitas being weebs
I'm talking out my ass here, but you get the point. I think it's really sad how hipsters have to ruin everything with their "never take anything too seriously" mentality. This is why most contemporary subcultures are virtually none existent.

In the days of early black metal in Norway, artists would go on about Satanism, Death, and National Socialism when talking to the press. This wasn't done to spread their ideals, it was done to marginalize their group and to scare away those who were viewed as not being dedicated enough to the music.
>>The scene was exclusive and created boundaries around itself, incorporating only those it deemed to be "true" or committed. Musical integrity was highly important and artists wanted black metal to remain underground and uncorrupted.

And it worked, the early Norwegian blackmetal scene created some of the best and most influential metal music of all time. For this reason, I think that lolita needs something to scare away those who are more interested in other subcultures that aren't compatible with lolita. Alternative fashions that seek to "rebel from the mainstream" by giving into the mainstream drugs and sex culture should not be tolerated. We need something that could help scare these people from Tumblr or other undesirable communities away. In most subcultures, members gain status through dedication to it's music, art, ect. In lolita, you buy an expensive dress and wear it properly. That's how you gain status. Since that's all it takes to get lolita cred, we end up having some undesirable people in lolita. It's really no wonder that it's so popular among attention whores and snowflakes. To combat this issue, I propose...

1. We develop a greater appreciation towards handmade clothing and towards the people who make their own stuff

2. We devolve our own type of art to go with the fashion, we already have some. (Bizenghast, Kamikaze girls, ect.)

Anyone else have any ideas on how to scare away all the Tumblr girls?
