/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>How did you discover lolita?
10 years ago when I was in college.
>Why do you want to wear it?
Because I've always wanted to dress up and feel like a princess. I've wanted to crossdress (Term wise I prefer using otoko no ko or brolita to describe myself) for a while but my living situation wasn't the best privacy wise, but I've recently gotten a job in another city 6 hours away so I'll be on my own again. I think it's kind of crap how boring and plain male fashion is when women have way more options to express themselves and to accessorize.
>What kind of research have you already done?
I've read /cgl/ for a while since late 2012 but for the past year I've been busy with my job to do more research.
>What aspect of lolita are you most confused or worried about?
Make up, my shoulders (It doesn't help I'm a mesomorph), joining a comm, passing.
>What's your height and shoulder/bust/waist measurements?
5'8" for height. I'm trying to get my waist measurement to down below 30 inches as much as I can. I don't think I can do much about my shoulders but at least waist measurements won't be as much of a problem.
>What is your general hygeine/beauty routine like?
I shower once or twice a day and use moisturizer/sunscreen in the morning. Night time I do cleanser->exfoliating scrub->toner-> night cream and do clay facials once a week. Needless to say my skin is really good and /cgl/ has been an excellent resource in that regard.
>How do you normally dress?
Usually button downs/V neck tshirts with straight fit jeans
>What lolita substyle(s) most interest you?
Gothic and classic.
>What is your planned budget for lolita?
I have a good job so splurging on brand every now and then won't hurt the bank. I do plan to get a lot of Fanplusfriend/Indie stuff though.
>Post your favorite lolita picture and say something about it.
This is probably my dream JSK. I'd love to pair it up with these Alice Margatroid/Touhou Project tights I bought and some star themed accessories!
