> when did you discover lolita? how old were you?
I was 14, I think I found it in 2004/2005. I found it online (I think through street snaps) and googled my way to the egl LJ comm. I was super active on LJ at the time so it was easy to just infuse the community into my everyday life.
> what substyle first interested you?
oh gosh everything. this was back when "shiro" and "kuro" were still considered main substyles and "sweet" was just "oldschool" dresses in pink colorways, so there wasn't as much variety as there is now. i was drawn to nautical motifs the most though
> what was your first dream dress? did you ever get it?
meta marine stripe. I did get the skirt but at the time I was too fat for it so I took it apart and frankensteined it back together so badly that it's unwearable. I still have it though, been thinking of taking it to a seamstress for years to have it repaired to fit me now since I'm much thinner
> first brand dress?
I didn't buy a brand dress until Meta's marine border series in 2008?2009? but I had a few brand skirts. most of my pieces were handmade monsters up until about 2009, lol
> did any particular coords, pics, media, etc make you fall in love with lolita?
honestly i can't remember any particular images, but I loved looking through the street snaps, and I loved a lot of the efamous lolitas at the time. my favorites were osea_chelleo, faunkegin, crazysporkiam, theosakakoneko, phenphenny, octavekitten, katzixx (sp?)
> how have your tastes changed?
They haven't much, it's more been that I've kept my love for the "older" things while liking most of the new things that happen in the fashion, so I guess my taste is more diverse now because lolita is more diverse

I was thinking a boarder print with the lighthouse. Or something pic related.

On another note, a petit prince dress that is not a cosmic fabric. Something with like a sax, pastel green and ivory colourway.... I think innocent world would do a good one.
