She's obviously paying her bills you absolute retards, and just because she can afford a 30-60 dollar dress from time to time doesn't mean that she's lying for "free money". Her commissions are cheap, and she's not forcing anyone to do anything, and she's actually making an effort to do something (I.E. SELL HER ART) to make back money. this isn't that weird but keep going off with your obvious vendettas

Do any of you even know how much old school costs? My entire wardrobe (17 in good condition BRAND dresses) cost me way less than 600 dollars and considering most old school dresses aren't popular and have poor resale value, selling her brand would be a poor investment. It would be different if she had coveted modern pieces that sell for hundreds. she'll get 30-50 bucks tops for her shit, and that's IF she sells it

I can understand that. I'm fine with criticizing her behaviour, but I think it's clear with how many reactions just saying her name gets, there's more to it for a lot of people.
Typically I don't care if someone does things that are vaguely rude. I wouldn't consider her begging a big deal, especially since she's giving people something in return. Seems like people keep their eyes peeled for popular/pretty lolitas to do anything slightly wrong so they can justify their unfair distain.

Judging by the last derailed thread, I think she ruffled a few feathers with the old school video and the very holier than thou attitude she has to the specific type of old school she wears. She looks like brand ads and specific GLB/Kera street snaps that translate well into what lolita has evolved into, but it's not what you would have seen from most "western" lolitas in the same era and she tends to ignore that any of that was even a thing and push her idea of old school as the only way it was.

This is how I know you're larping. I wear oldschool and prices in the past 3 years went from $50-80 oldschool dresses with the rare damaged exception sitting at $35-50.

Over the course of the period I mentioned those same dresses in good condition now cost 16000-30000¥ on the Japanese market

Oldschool is now an expensive addiction, I got into it 5 years ago because it was so cheap compared to contemporary releases. But now I no longer buy them on the jp market, just browse and occasionally find relatively good deals on the Western market

I unironically like ita dresses like that Bodyline one (pic related) and would actually wear them except they're often too cheap fabric/lace wise and I would feel uncomfortable wearing something obviously ita.
And I also secretly love the horrible lacy cat ear headband + black and white dress combo.
I don't know if it's because i'm nostalgic of old itas or because i'm a huge weeb who wanted to get into lolita to look like anime girls but I just think they're neat in a special endearing way.

23yo me still has a part of 13yo me longing to be a kawaii princessu neko meido potato i guess.

Confession: some people in my comm look up to me, and see me as a source of inspiration but I feel completely lost. I don't know where my style is going, I don't know what looks good on me, I don't know why I wear lolita. I still feel cute wearing it but I don't get that rush of 'omigod YES another dress' that I used to. I'm confessing it here because I just don't know how to tell anyone nearby me. Normie friends don't get it and it would ruin the image the girls in my comm have of me. I don't want to give it up but I don't know why I'm doing it.

its a very vocal yet very very small handful of girls who got into oldschool within the last 4 years and now say they're an expert on it. this would ruffle the petticoats of any seasoned lolita who has been into the fashion for awhile, especially ones who were around during the old school era. theres nothing wrong with liking old school and wearing it, but if you''re still essentially a newbie don't talk out your ass because you'll just embarrass yourself.

Nah, it’s clear that there are multiple things that led to Lolita and one of them is vkei styling but they got it from something too. There are quite a few proto Lolita stuff that clearly were European influence even if it wasn’t exactly rococo. The whole doll look is also from Victorian dolls like the sausage curls that are iconic to the idea of old school hair styling.

there's actually been research on this anon, a lot of bullies are just bullies, and in fact many bullies have high (albeit often inflated) self esteem and high satisfaction with their lives. many bullies also have a solid friend group. being mean can sometimes be traced back to low self esteem etc. but not always, and in fact, not usually.

that actually kind of sucks because it means that there's not always a "root cause" to treat in order to make a bully's behavior stop, it's a piece of their personality that they have to want to commit to improve on

but lately it seems like we've seen a spike in ticketed meets and our comm doesn't have the latter issues, and many of the "ticketed meets" are "teehee let's meet at the park for photos and then wander around downtown to find a restaurant or a museum, tickets are $15" like wtf are people even paying for

They say they "don't have time" to do anything fun, but really it's because they want to sit on the sofa with their husband/wife every evening because they're "tired from work", and in the weekend they "don't have time for hobbies" because they have to do grocery shopping and chores that they didn't do all week. Some of them go to the gym, but only because they don't want to get too fat, not for fun.

I’m OP of this original comment and this is what I’m talking about. I used to have normie friends, but we grew apart ever since I got into lolita and found lolita friends. All the do on the weekends is what >>10110709 said, either laze around watching TV or if they’re feeling wild and adventurous they’ll go out and drink at a bar. Hence why I don’t hang out with them anymore since I don’t really like to do either of those things. I guess perhaps it kind of depends on what type of environment you live in, I live in a boring flyover state so that’s what most normies I know or do around here.

My confession is that I feel butthurt whenever someone on cgl calls someone else autistic, because I actually have autism and I've had so much trouble with people not understanding what it is in the past.

Nearly all of my coworkers are like this. All their time not spent working or sleeping is spent watching whatever’s currently popular on Netflix, scrolling through Facebook and drinking beer. I never told them about lolita but I did mention that I sew and visit the theatre pretty often, and that was enough to make me “that person with the weird hobbies”. They love to talk shit about all the weird people on tv (including Marie Kondo, such a weirdo amirite) so I learned pretty quickly to keep my other hobbies to myself.

They don’t even have children; the one woman with kids at least visits parks and museums on a regular basis and can socialise outside of work without always wanting to get drunk.

Possibly the most depressing part of this is that they think OTHER people are sad and pathetic for wanting to have “abnormal” hobbies. Someone brought up cosplay once (must’ve been on tv) and most of them agreed that only sad people with no lives would be into something like that. Sigh.

being poor has nothing to do with it, there are ways you can get around paying medical bills without a credit card or mumsy and pep-pep's trust fund.
for instance, if the person in question is truly low-income, most doctors and hospitals have a program where they cover all or most of the bill. typically they ask you for this information before you go into triage. i have a doubt that the person is actually poor if she doesnt even know the systems in place to help her, and i'm inclined to say that "medical bills" is a cop-out to beg for money instead of do something for herself.
as a poor person, please dont blame somebody's retardation on their financial status. one does not equate with the other. i'm poor as shit and still manage my money well enough to be able to buy the occasional brand and not amass a stupid amount of medical debt.

a lot of those programs have strict income limits and if you're a dollar over, you're fucked. It doesn't help that most of those programs aren't pro-offered right off the bat and knowledge of their existence is lacking, especially in my state in the US. I have never once been asked during triage what my income level was - it's usually after I'm in an ER room that someone from registration asks about my employment. When I was severely low-income years back, before "Obamacare," not once did they mention a payment program to me or any method of financial help to ease the burden of an ER bill. Low-income people don't always have access to the information that they can get assistance.

This is absolute bullshit. Can tell you, as someone who’s sick with frequent hospital visits as well as a mom and sister who are hospital nurses and I’ve worked in a hospital in billing, they will absolutely work with patients on a payment plan. I actually have two I just finished paying off that were around $2000 combined. It’s so difficult for hospitals to actually get payment from patients if the insurance isn’t paying it or they don’t have it at all, that’s why they often end up just selling off the debt to collections.

To make some kind of relevant confession, I guess... I've been buying lolita but not wearing it yet because I'm either just on the edge of fitting my pieces or they are a size smaller on purpose as inspiration to keep at the weight loss. I almost gave up on myself but I'm trying again. I really don't want to give up on this fashion but I'm not confident enough to wear it the way I look right now.

I believe that too, and also some people are just ignorant when it comes to sizing cause they are used to the wests vanity sizing and lots of stretch.
Some people wear things nearly bursting at the seams, that isn't a good look for anyone imo.
Delusional, thinking that a 90cm flat bust measurement of an unshirred OP or JSK is going to fit their 90cm bust, it just doesn't work that way!
They don't realise how much breathing room, fitting ease, in some cases shoulder width, etc. they actually need.

Josine-Maaike is a pretty good example, she isn't fat imo but her shape (larger than average bust?) isn't always suited for some of the items she bought, like that recent coord of her with the old school yellow tartan Baby jacket (good coord though, shame that the jacket was so small).

If you know they're rare, you know money is not the reason other people don't own them. I'm not even mad, I feel sorry for you for not being able to fit your clothes.

Obviously that money didn’t buy your fat ass enough happiness to stay fit enough for your dresses, ham galaxy.

I’m not that asshurt about it, tubs. I have over 70 main pieces and they all fit me because I’m wealthy and don’t have to lift a finger for brand. It’s just sad to see someone so desperate to be part of something that they’d sink so much money into it without being able to even wear it. You can roll around in your stinky apartment with your dresses you can’t wear all you want but I’ll be leaving my house actually wearing mine and enjoying it at it’s full potential.

>It’s just sad to see
that's a personal problem my dude. get over it.


none of you can even see the bright side here. these rare dresses are being preserved in these different closets, mostly in the west, being taken care of by folks with a collector's mindset.
one day, they will sell these pieces, and that's a fact. I can look forward to hopefully buying some of my favorite mains from relatively nearby sources, and they'll be in good condition.

Everything in my plus-size-friendly wardrobe fits me because I like to wear the fashion as well as collect but I had to call you saltines out for hating on people who have a different yet completely harmless way of interacting with the fashion. fucking chill.

They'll probably die of a heart attack before they sell them. But maybe we can find their hoard at goodwill.

They’d probably have it buried with them too.

You're incredibly naive. Think about why they rather hoard dresses for years than use that money to buy a personal trainer, good diet, gym membership or a good therapist to fit into those dresses they claim to love so much.

I find that people who take exception to or get bent out of shape about hobbies don't have any themselves, beyond watching reality TV with their dinner.

I asked a friend's older sister what she does for fun once, after a long talk about why I enjoy collecting hobbies and lolita. She gave me some serious stinkeye and said she didn't know what I meant by that, that's the kind of thing you ask a kid. So I elaborated and asked if she likes crafts, or goes out on weekends with friends, or what, and she said that "clubbing is for kids, I'm too old for that, and crafts are what you do in art class".

It seems like, for at least some normies, hobbies and "fun" stuff is reserved for kids and weiros, and enjoying either is immature or somehow perverse.
