what are you laughing at, anon?
this is serious

If the most you can say about yourself is that you love everything about lolita, but you don't have a stitch of actual lolita clothing, then I have one word for you.
Pathetic.
Get either a different hobby you can justify spending money on, or stop talking. One of the two please.

>Are you interested in seeing the findings from this (and other) research?:
Yes, I would like to see these questions or anything in a similar vein added to future questionnaires:

How often do you wear lolita casually in comparison to OTT?
How many pieces in your wardrobe are hand made or Indie brand?
How do you price your sales? On market value or the original purchase price you paid?
What is the size of your community and how many of them are active members?

I've been thinking about making another one and have it with:
-Invite only or with questionnaire form to be filled out for people who want to join but have no friends in the comm.
-Must have proof of wardrobe.
-Must have a member photo of you in lolita in members gallery and sales feedback link.
-If no wardrobe, must have proof of lolita purchase within 6 months of joining comm that is not a print replica.
-Must attend at least 2 meets, partners and interested friends are welcome to meets as long as host has no issues with it and are dressed nicely.
-If you can't attend regular meets due to work or other life commitments at least aim for conventions or larger holiday meets (Christmas, halloween etc)
-If these meets are still inaccessible for a member due to traveling distance, then even a cute outfit shot or some proof of regularly wearing it would be acceptable.
Just something to show that you're still active in the fashion

Members who caused shit online last year won't receive membership unless other girls are willing to vouch for them. If they start shit then both they and their friends will be kicked.

No SJW shit.
