What could your boyfriend do (relating to your hobby) that would make your day?

>>9357658
i think you mean bump limit

>>9357706
grow a vagina and not post off-topic shit in gens

>>9357723
not the poster but how is this OT

>>9357706, he could set up a nice date based on a dress or find one of my dream items for me.

>>9357736
prob because vday was yesterday and a certain someone spent it alone!

I'm going to England (London and the countryside) this summer and plan to bring some lolita. If I bring IW English prints with me, is that just a recipe for harassment, or will it just be accepted as a tourist? Also, am I just going to die in tea parties, or will it probably be fine with insoles?

>>9357706
Not involve lolita fashion into our DDLG kink.

He has asked several times for me to dress in lolita in order for me to participate as a little. My hobby and kinks are separate.

>>9357751
I have a daddydom thing with my bf and he respects and understands that lolita is a separate thing and not linked to it whatsoever. I think you might need to sit your guy down and let him know that it is disrespectful to ask and he needs to stop.

>>9357751
Yet here you are posting about your kink on our hobby board where even mention of it (for any reason no exceptions) is unwelcome and you know it.
GG.

>>9357751
who asked? no one currr

>>9357706
Dress in a nice suit and go out with me to drink tea, visit a classic art museum or go for a walk in a national park

>>9357751
>hmmm how can I let everyone know I have a ddlg kink...

>>9357757
>>9357763
>>9357769
I'm posting Anonymously on an Anonymous board and answering a question that concerns me gulls. Not everyone takes up chastity when they start wearing lolita fashion.

>>9357756
Thank you for the advice.

>>9357756
This! My Daddy loves it when I wear lolita but he knows that I have no intention of ever playing with him in my expensive frills.
>>9357777
Good luck anon. Sorry so many gulls have sewn their vaginas up

>>9357777
What, so if lolitas aren't into daddy issue ridden kinks they're born again virgins?
DDLG needs to die off, so sick of it

>>9357736
>how is this OT
"your hobby" is too broad of a term for a lolita general. the asker is obvs new.

>>9357793
literally lolita and ddlg are inextricably linked at this point, it's time to get over it and move on

>>9357795
>sweet lolita

>>9357747
If you mean the one with the massive flag on it, people will assume you are a unionist or English nationalist, so depending on their own beliefs they may avoid you. I don't think they will physically attack you.

>>9357795
How are they linked?

>>9357805
They aren't, it's wishful kink thinking. They know better than to bring that shit up in here but they do it anyway, then pretend anyone not amused is a prude. It's typical attention-getting behavior.

>people have bee talking about the death of Lolita
>secondhand prices at all time low
>releases aren't as successful as they once were
>over saturated market

>wait like the vulture I am for dream dresses to be affected by market

>>9357751
>>9357756

My daddy won't stop raping me when I put on my lolita. It sucks because I am his full-time service girl so I'm not allowed to say no, but I genuinely don't want it sometimes. He pushes up my pettis and he takes what he wants even when I scream and cry and tell him no. He's even gotten... ermmm... "frosting" stains on my melty cream donuts before. Was very upset about this

what do :(

>>9357825
same, I'm so happy it's a buyers market, at least secondhand. People are always saying lolita is dying tough.

>>9357826
weak

>>9357834
yes I am weak that's why I can't fight him off when he rapes me :(

>all the samefagging ITT

gulls pls

>>9357777
GTFO to /soc/ or /d/
this is not your blog

>>9357826
on stories that never happened.
back to b, you turd

>>9357747
Eh, you'll be fine in London, i'm guessing you'll be doing average touristy stuff and people here are used to weirdness.
In the country your likely to just get a few funny looks and the odd sniggering, I doubt anyone would call you out. Take some nice florals or sailor prints if you've got them that would be very cute in the countryside.

I'm beginning to think ddlg fetishists are worse than furries.

BABY Paris is closing down in May apparently.
A friend of mine visited them today and the shopgirl told her that it's going to close definitively in May. When she asked why she told her that it had something to do with Baby Japan that wanted it or something like that.
I'm shook, I visited them once and I was looking forward to coming back this summer.

>>9357890
Took you long enough.

>>9357892
I was planning to go there next year.

>>9357892
Aw, that's a shame. I visited them a few years ago and it was a great experience.

>>9357892
Wait what?!! Really? No no it can't be happening

>>9357892
>Closing down in may

I'm going to Paris next month but I won't have time to visit fuck. I did go once before, it was my first (and only) brand store experience, and it was really nice. It's pretty sad but I'm happy I went whilst it was still there.

>>9357892
It's probably due to a decline in tourism and the value of the Euro. People are scared of going to Paris these days. Euro is weaker now compared to when Baby first opened.

>>9357747
You're not planning to walk in ' the countryside' in teaparties are you?

Anyone get a lolita desu lucky pack?

>>9357747
You better be careful anon, I know lolitas in london who get targeted by pakis to sexually assault. I can imagine someone who doesn't know much of London being easily tricked/assaulted by them.

>>9358227
And yet people wonder why everyone is wary of refugees.
Especially with the rampant victim blaming people are getting.

>>9357706
Buy me a dress from my wishlist.

can people please stop doing this

>>9358229
I'm honestly surprised it took this long for this to be said.

>>9358231
Her eyes look creepy, this is edited right?

>>9358227
>I know lolitas in london who get targeted
Do you really? Thought paedo Paki's were a Midland's thing.

>>9358235
-very- edited

>>9358232
i implied it above in "find one of my dream items." i meant BUY IT

>>9358237
No, I'm not joking and I'm being pretty much 100% serious. There are no go zones in London being patrolled by islamic fundamentalists, and there is a very very huge chance that if you go there you will become a target. You'll be an easy target to rob, and to their third world minds you also dress like a child. So you'll not only be targeted by the regular rapists, but the pedophiles as well.

>>9358219
someone posted in one of the previous generals I think. they got a lot of cute brown stuff, like a fawn collar, a capelet, some hair accessories...she posted pics in the thread so try to dig for it.
>my memory is limited for some reason

>>9358245
What? Why haven't the police done anything about it?

>>9358247
If it's anything like the rest of europe- they're afraid to be seen as racist.

>>9358247
The police can't do anything without being seen as culturally insensitive, and the government really doesn't allow them to do their job. Some rapist gets pushed to the ground too hard during an arrest and the subhumans riot.

That and the progressives who cry so loudly to be tolerant don't have to live anywhere near the people they so desperately want to ruin their country.

>>9358245
murifat here. I'm familiar with the two kinds of attitudes towards Middle Eastern and North African immigrants in some parts of Europe, but I've never heard of no-go zones until now.

I'm currently looking this up and it seems like a lot of reports come from far-right wing sources.

Anyone else watching the beginnings of a shitstorm in Big Sisters?

>>9358272
Why would the left incriminate what they support? You have to remember these news sights aren't really news sights, they are corporations with the goal of making money.

You're still allowed to go into these "no-go" zones but the reason why they are called that is because the majority of the people in them have a certain attitude towards people who aren't muslim.

>>9358276
YES. HOLY SHIT. Y'all want caps?

>>9358276
No, I couldn't stomach that group very long so I left. Deets?

>>9358280
Do it up before the mods delete it lmfao

>>9358272
Think of Compton, South Central, and Southside Chicago. Only locals would go there to begin with.

>>9358247
Because it's bullshit fear mongering. Even if you're a complete dumbass, the only crime you're likely to be a victim of is theft or pickpocketing. You are extremely unlikely to be attacked by Islamic extremists in London.

>>9358279
I know. I don't subscribe to such sources. I just meant that I looked up anon's subject out of curiosity and through my search, it's mostly mentioned and sensationalized by far-right outlets which makes it a bit difficult for me to understand/believe. I hope that was clear.

That being said, I'm not totally surprised about old attitudes. I've seen documentaries on refugee resettlement and how some communities have opened up classes to help men understand Western attitudes and norms, which included equality between genders.

As a lolita, I agree that it's important to be safe since we tend to attract unwanted attention, but in the subject of pedophilia, I feel like the fear is
mislead: real pedophiles are attracted to real kids (groce), not grown women in weird dresses. Granted there are some weirdos out there, but I feel like your argument nulls the distinction that most lolitas have about the book versus the fashion.

>>9358281
Some furry posted in the group asking if tails would work, obviously everyone was saying 'no, pls dont', then some girl pointed out the furry's job description was 'Gas Technician at Auschwitz Concentration Camp' and then everyone got ssuuuppeerrrrr piiiissssssssed
Post just go nukes by mods

>>9358294
I was just being a smartass with the pedophile part. I just had to move out of my neighborhood because of the influx of immigrants and I'm sure if it weren't for my boyfriend at the time picking me up and dropping me off I'd have been raped on my way home from work.

>>9358286
Funny. While I was replying, I was thinking about places like Southside Chicago and East St. Louis since I'm familiar with those areas. I get it in that context. I guess I was not feeling cool about anon riling up anti-Muslim fears or I was misinterpreting things (that being said, fundamentalists can suck it)

>>9358285
working on it. I'm going to see if there are any more comments atm, but I think it's just going to be comments about mixing furry accessories.

>>9358280
caps please I think its gone :O

>>9358307
I got em. Hiding commentators' names. Should I name and shame the OP of that thread?

Also, I thought I'd look into her profile, and turns out she's going to Anime Matsuri. Nazi sympathizer and supporting the Leigh's.

>>9358311
No, it'll get deleted if you show her name, regardless of her being a 3edgy5me furry

>>9358311
>nazi sympathizer
is it gas the kikes race war now nazi sympathizer or I am white and not ashamed of it nazi sympathizer

>>9358305
I see Islamphobia in Europe the same as Blackphobia in America. Whites know to stay away from the ghetto. Euros know to stay away from the mosque. People get scared and weirded out when they see something different. People get weirded out when they see lolitas.

>>9358319
People are wise to be wary of both.

>>9358314
I'm glad I asked because I don't usually do caps.

>new thread by mod about the report

I'm receiving (zero interest) student loans as my only source of income. Is it reasonable for me to spend some of that on lolita?
Teenage me actually wrote a BtB secret saying that I would ~never~ spend loans on lolita (don't remember if I posted it though) but now that I'm in this situation I don't see what would be wrong with me giving myself a budget and spending whatever is left over on lolita.

>>9358333
boop

>>9358327
>furry with shitty sense of humor gone
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>9358338
Get a part time job and use that money. You'll have to pay the loans back at some point, so it's best not to spend them frivolously.

>>9358338
There isn't anything wrong, but future you that's gonna be paying that shit back's gonna hate you unless you manage to land a job that allows you to pay all of that back within something like 5 or so years.

>>9358340
oyyy veyyy

>>9357763
haha what kind of national parks do you live near...? all the ones in my state and surrounding states are like complete-desert-wilderness-camping style national parks. Like the Grand Canyon.

>>9358355
Daddy issues are a thing anon, too hard to get over for most girls

>>9358355
I had an ex who wanted me to call him daddy in bed. That was a huge red flag.

>>9358362
So go to therapy and learn actual healthy coping methods

>>9358362
I mean, I have issues with my dad but those feelings don't manifest as calling my partner 'daddy' and being treated like a child :v
The best way to get over issues with your dad is to either talk to your dad or talk to people you trust about it

>>9358370
If they are so far into their daddy issues that they have a fetish for ddlg it's far far passed being something you can talk to their dad about. Other anon mentioned therapy, but I doubt these girls want to get rid of a fetish.

>>9358327
Like I get their point of 'oh well if we can get banned for shit on our profile what's the line?' But I think they're all forgetting that the chick who was banned was just a shitposter

I went digging into old things today, I thought you girls would like to see this again.

>>9358343
>>9358345
Thanks you guys are right. I make about $10 a week doing surveys so I'll probably just stick to that as a source of lolita income lol
I had a job over break but I live too far away to keep it.

>>9358340
Oh come on, they banned her for that?
so pathetic. It's obviously meant as a joke, plus it is completely irrelevant to what was posted in the group.

People should not be banned from things because their presence makes others feel uncomfortable.

>>9358420
we are living in a culture of outrage, anon. You have to be offended by everything

>>9358340
popcorn. saved the aftermath post just in case it gets bawleted imgur cause I'm not going to bother editing.
I didn't even need these caps after reading the aftermath.

Somebody this bad has to be a troll.

>>9358227
>sexually assault
do you mean harass, or have there been unreported physical attacks targeting lolitas that we somehow have not heard of before

>>9358425
I'm Jewish.
I bet all of the outrage is from people whose families weren't affected at all by the holocaust.
It's not a funny joke, but it's clearly a joke. Get that parasol out your ass.

>>9358311

>Nazi sympathizer
>supporting the Leighs
it just gets worse and worse

>>9358416
Where did you do them I am always spooked of getting a virus from them like my friend did

>>9358340
I banned her from RC:U. Being a furry sympathizer is not okay.

>>9358441
Just have to find a reliable site. I do mine through OpinionWorld. I started earlier this year and have earned $50 so far, plus I'm halfway to the next payment. Nice thing about this site as opposed to others is they have an option to put money directly in to your PayPal account instead of giving shitty vouchers to various stores.

>>9358424
JFC that hypocrisy.

>>9358441
there are so many internet resources about how to do this. why would you trust a random internet user, who could be a paid Russian shill with nothing to do now, over your own research?

>>9358450
RC:U hasn't had a good thread in ages. Unban her and let the cringe flow, man.
I thought the whole premise of that group is that it's for any and all topics, not that the mods get to pick and choose what goes on.

>>9358420
It's a stupid joke and she's a dumb ass edgelord. I'm getting deja vu with this scenario since it just happened with PewDiePie. If you're not racist, stop saying racist shit. It's not hard.

Sidenote: I'm mad the mods locked the explination thread. Why can't we voice our opinions so this doesn't happen again?

>>9358185
...Probably a bad idea, huh...

>>9358245
>>9358227
I've never heard of this--will definitely be wary!

>>9358455
yeah I'm sure we're really missing out on quality topics like "how do I coordinate my fox tail with D. Walkure?"
I kind of doubt she'd post much anyway

>>9358463
>how do I coordinate my fox tail with D. Walkure?"
or "Do you know any prints with wolf themes that I could use for my Fenrir-inspired coord for the next Sons of Odin meetup?"

>>9358460
Insensitivity != racism

Does anyone know of a SS for Osaka?

>>9358461
Don't want to ask for tmi in terms of where in the countryside you'll be visiting , as there's a lot, but as with anything that involves lots of walking especially on areas that may not be paved, shoe comfort and durability trump style. Besides, you wouldn't want to ruin your shoes as teaparties aren't known for being very scuff resistant. If you're mainly going for the interiors of listed buildings/heritage sites then teaparties are reasonable of you can walk and stand in them for a long time. Enjoy your trip regardless and visit the North if you get the chance.

>>9358489
Maybe Mint Kismet?

>>9358493
I want to live here

>>9358489
And the Bride of Death bloodbath begins.

>>9358504
It'll get a general re-release similar to tea time nostalgia after the Beijing tea party

>>9358435
>I'm Jewish, my experience is proof

>>9358509
Come now, it's a bunch of people saying she's a white supremacist and racist because she made an off color joke. Surely you can see that this is an overreaction.

Do any of you own the Metamorphose platform boots? I'm thinking of buying them

>>9358512
These terms have really lost all meaning, and it's a huge shame because it gives those who are actually racist something to hide behind.

>>9358489
I'm near Osaka but I'm reserving a JSK for myself. Sorry not sorry

>>9358319
It's kinda difficult to stay away from the Mosque when it's in the middle of the shopping centre and right next to the only grocery store in the area. When I go to get groceries alone I get yelled at, followed around and sometimes younger boys throw empty cans, pebbles or even shoes at me. I've become too afraid to wear lolita in my own neighbourhood because I fear that even if I don't get assaulted at that moment, someone might recognise me later on a grocery run and start throwing more than insults and pebbles.
Most of my Muslim neighbours are very kind and hard-working and I get along with them fine. But when you bring up the harassment issues they just say "boys will be boys" and wave it off. One girl says she really likes my lolita dresses but believes that wearing them outside the house without my boyfriend invites harassment so it's my own fault when guys follow me around to scream at me.
I can't wait to move to a nicer neighbourhood so I can wear my favourite clothes again.

Polite sage and please please please don't turn this into a thread-derailing discussion, I just needed somewhere to get it off my chest without people labelling me a whatever-phobe for life.

>>9358546
Sorry for further OT but do you mind sharing your general area( east, south)

>>9358546
And this exactly the issue, boiled down, that I have with immigration. People hate change, so why would morals and perspectives change with your scenery? Fun fact, it doesn't.

>>9358435
I followed the page, it's actually a 'the holocaust never happened it's all scheming jews bringing up shit that never happened cor shekels'
It's all trash, glad she got d-d-d-ditched

>>9358569
Which page?

>>9358245
People ignore this troll. It was a mad news thing a while ago where I think it was Fox News claimed where were placed in the UK that are in-go zones. Pile of bullshit.

As for wearing Lolita out and about, in the countryside the full on Union Jack flag etc IW prints would be seen as too ott. Depending what you do though bring sturdy footwear. It really isn't all dainty afternoon tea and the like.

>>9358185
Why not? They have pavement outside city's too you know

>>9358227
>>9358228
>>9358245
Fake story. I live in the UK and I never heard about this, it's sounds like the type of stuff people make up for clickbait articles because refugees/brown people are the most popular controversial subject right now.

>tfw the glory days of lolita are definitely over
It hurts

>>9358628
I'm thinking actual countryside where people go rambling/beauty spots, not well paved from my experience

>>9358520
All this drama gives me strong vibes about PewDiePie being kicked for edgy jokes

>>9358562
Mainland North-Western Europe, in the suburbs of a smaller city.

>>9358567
Practically everyone in my neighbourhood is at least second or third generation immigrant, all born in this country. Many of the younger people have never been to their family's country of origin. Their morals and perspectives are partially derived from their culture of origin, partially from our local culture. It's a complex dynamic.

Polite sage again

>>9357892
I'm surprised that it could exist so long considering the high prices and bad selection of items.

>>9358546
>I just needed somewhere to get it off my chest without people labelling me a whatever-phobe for life.
This makes me think you're the same person who posted the other story, and when poeple called you out on your bullshit you decided to come up with something less OTT. Guess what, most English people don't like muslims and would be happy to complain about them with you. If I wasn’t so lazy I would look up how many English shopping centres have a mosque inside, if any.

>>9358662
Plus small shops have been disappearing all over Paris for a while. One time I did find something that was sold out everywhere else, so that was nice.

>>9358699
Like I said in >>9358648, I'm not even English...

>>9358469

>>9358648
I bet Sweden. But just wait what will happen when Russia goes down.

>>9358567
Except it does change, you dumbfuck.
Look at how european immigrants to the US during the 20s~30s (second and third) generation changed their ways of thinking. Parents then reject their own kids, the kids grow old and stop caring about the ol' ways.
Did you know there was a "little" norway in the place that today is china town? kids grew up and stopped caring about old traditions/foods. There is a short story about this situation, where a norwegian grandmother in the US is very angry with her grandson because he was speaking english to her.

The same happens in Sweden/London. Second/Third generation pakistani children start rejecting going to the moske or learning an "old" language just to cater their own parents. There is a book about this, I'll look for it.

And after all this Brexit mess, the only thing the media had to say was: The kebab shops steal our jobs.

anyone watch that click bait of a title lor did ? she didn't even talk about MF just that she was a blogger then left lolita and met her and was happy.

>>9358245
This is a fucking lie, bet youre not even in the uk

>>9357892
It's such a shame after the closing of Axes Femmes in January.

Both of them never had a proper website to sell their stuff. Considering there isn't taxes between european countries, they could have sold much more stuff to european lolitas but idk why the Japanese mother company didn't want any of it.

Really sad that they never considered hiring a webmaster & webdesigner to build a proper fr/en website and probably blamed the european market for their failure.

>>9358245
Trolly trolly troll. Not even a sliver of truth to this. The worst approach in lolita I've ever had in London was in Soho and someone with a heavy(I think French) accent asked me "where is the sex shop."

>>9358755
>everyone has the same experiences as me

>>9358752
>closing of Axes Femme
Noooooooo this is my first time hearing about this! Axes Femme is the perfect casual wardrobe padder but I was always put off by their lack of a proper webshop, so was saving up for a haul next time I'm in Paris...
At least with Baby I can still easily order from the Japanese site, even with customs charges. Axes Femme is much more difficult to order from if you don't have a credit card and imo not really worth the hassle of shopping service + shipping + customs charges since unlike Baby it's more cheap and fast-fashiony. An actual European-based webshop would have been perfect. Why Axes Femme, why?

>>9358546
I find this odd, and that isn't to say things aren't different in other parts of the world, but I live in a predominantly Muslim area (Turkish, Sudanese and Iraqi), wear lolita all the time and have never once had any of these things happen. There's even another lolita in my area and we run into eachother at the local shopping center a lot. There's a mosque on the block behind me.

>>9358784
Forgot to add, I'm in Melbourne, AU.

>>9358435

They're getting a global shop in March if that helps

>>9358164
Does Paris really have as many issues as people say? I wanted to go to Europe as well, but I've found myself completely avoiding certain parts.

I hope BtSSB USA and NY are doing okay. I'll continue to support them.

>>9358825
*SF, not USA.

I have more issues with this person thinking furry and lolita go together.
>jojo meme lover

>~edgy~ jew jokes
Yeah, nothing of value was lost here.

>>9358752
>Considering there isn't taxes between european countries, they could have sold much more stuff to european lolitas
I think they are just bad at (international) business. The new AP shop accepts orders through email but also doesn't have a website and I don't know if they ship internationally. But they marked up their prices just so they could have a nice location near the louvre.

>>9358819
Really? Where did you hear this? If it's true, RIP wallet.

>>9358825
No. I was there in 2011. I didn't see Muslims standing out in Paris. The most annoying people where Romanians pretending to be deaf attempting to pickpocket you.

BTSSB Paris is in the 11th arrondissement. It's the same neighborhood as the Bataclan. However, I never considered the 11th arrondissement as a predominantly Muslim neighborhood. In fact, it's more like Weeaboo Central. Most Muslims in Paris live in Seine-Saint-Denis and tourists don't go there.

>>9358764
well, most of us experience reality. the paranoid anon talking about lolitas being sexually assaulted (that anon's exact words) in public is either lying or experiencing a different reality, such as one distorted by schizophrenia.

>>9358394
lol I guess they weren't joking when they coined "detail porn"

>>9358752
There's a Dutch lolita shop that ships to other EU countries so I think it would be so nice if that shop would start carrying baby and axes femme. You could even order things from IW during the sale (so you wouldn't have to pay shipping from Japan) but I was too late to get anything.

>>9358825
People think because there were attacks in France and Turkey they should go on holiday to Spain or somewhere instead. Which is dumb because it could happen in any country that's active in the war. Paris has really strict security now and right-wing parties are working hard to scare people because elections are coming up in several European countries.

I feel you anon. Nowadays if you say such a thing you're "omg islamophobe racist meanie!!".
The boys are the absolute worst,they have no respect for women for most of them and are little shits. Nearly all of the muslims I encountered have retarded medieval views (if you're not covered you're a slut durr durr you belong to your father/husband/, being homosexual is absolutely haram,...). I know not all of them are like that but fuck.
Honestly I hate seeing how France is invaded by them (living there). That and the refugees,romanians,migrants and stuff too. They're parasites,invaders,.. And I wish they would go. I don't care what happens to refugees anyway, not my problem, it's awful yes but we already have enough problems to care about theirs. But off course you can't say that without some tumblrina screaming about how you're such a privileged white scum (they're homophobic,sexists,some are even making fun of white people, but they're poor widdle muslims you guys).
God, I hate people. And I'm so peeved everytime I see mudslimes trying to impose their retarded religion on us. Fuck off, you're not in your country. Deal with it. They should be grateful they're in France if anything.

>>9358906
>you can't say that without some tumblrina screaming about how you're such a privileged white scum
And that's all that happens if you say it. I'm sorry you're so scared of tumblrinas. It's totally fine to hate on muslims on national tv and everywhere else, except tumblr. When Europe falls apart because we don't want muslims in our country we won't stand a chance against bigger countries anymore, Russia, China and the US would be delighted.

Hopefully you guys can help me form burning any further money, but do you know of any companies that make thicker socks that come in a thick red and white stripe? I've ordered 2 separate pairs and theyre so thin its uncomfortable.

>>9358752
Oh goddammit. I was hoping to hit AF but it looks like I'm seriously only buying art supplies for my trip to Paris and Berlin.

>>9358916

I don't have issues with muslims especially the ones I personally know, but seriously, saying

>Russia, China and the US would be delighted.

Is not really lending well to your argument.

>>9358930
It's actually the main reason I want to stay in the EU but perhaps I'm biased because I work for a company that has to compete with Chinese and American companies and I don't think I need to explain why Russie would be happy

>>9358569
What the fuck are you talking about? The edgy girl said nothing like that you fuck.

>>9358948

Just out of curiosity, what do you think of people with experiences like >>9358546? I've never really encountered them myself, but I'd imagine that would be a real issue considering how misogynist Islam and various middle eastern cultures can get.

I don't really have problems with more modern muslims, but once in a while I hear something weird (for instance, my friend being harassed by her uncle for being a slut and haram) and I'm real fucking glad I'm not part of that culture.

>>9358319
Whites stay away from the ghetto because they know they have a higher probability of getting mugged there. It's not about being weirded out, it's just basic common sense.

>>9358954
I think it's really upsetting but leaving the EU wouldn't magically remove muslims from her community. It's impossible to opt out of globalization and go back to how things were before, and seperating is in the best interest of people/countries that benefit from it if we become weaker (I don't know in what country she is, but EU countries don't have much global power if not together).

What are these boob pockets I sometimes see in lolita actually called and what time period are they inspired by?

>>9358952
She's talking about the page that her "job" was linked to.

>>9358884
Oh fuck. Goodbye money

>>9358355
It's a mild kink, no worse than a foot fetish or something. If it's consensual and not in public, who cares.

People are still living with the affects of the holocaust. Survivors are still alive. There is a joke and then there is tact. She has neither.

>>9358884
oh my lord.. I've set a date in my calendar.

I was just reading about it on their facebook. have axes femme clothes always been one size fits all? It might just be a translation issue, or i'm imagining things.

>>9358962
I think they're inspired by dirndl. The top of the bodice can be anywhere from collar length to underbust.

>>9358962
>>9358988
It could also be inspired by certain italian renaissance dresses.
>reconstruction for tv but you can see the design inspiration

>>9358989
Here's a more simple reconstruction of an Italian style dress.

>>9358989
Beautiful! Someone make this into a lolita dress please. It's time for detachable sleeves to make a comeback.

>>9358996
That dress is from the show 'Borgias'. Her whole character is just dress porn.

I've only ever seen renaissance inspired lolita once (pic related) but I've always wanted to make something myself. Those detachable sleeves are so beautiful.

>>9358984
They come in M and L for some tops, S/M/L for shoes but usually one size when it comes to most of their other stuff.

>>9358529
I thought you were allowed one of each color?

>>9358978
Yeah, and I've met a few holocaust survivors, as well as people who survived the aftermath. Shitty holocaust jokes do not make their stories any less meaningful.
Trying to claim that this person is anti Semetic/white nationalist/neonazi without substantiated proof (bad jokes don't count) is a major problem. If you alienate everyone who isn't exactly like you, they're going to start to cling to these groups, who are only too happy to watch their numbers grow.

If you like Renaissance Italian fashion, check out the Realm of Venus and Anea's gallery and articles websites. They're a treasure-tove for recreating Italian fashion from this time period. I have a particular weakness for Anea's 'Moda Romana' gown.

I'm a sweet lolita since 7 years now. Began when I was just 14 and now I'm 21. I was used to people telling me I was cute/pretty/doll like for my appearance and enjoyed it a lot. Now that i'm getting older i'm getting these compliments less and less. I'm called "beautiful" but that's it. And I have a hard time accepting I'll eventually age more and more,get ugly and never be cute/doll like again or look good in sweet ever again.
Any gull feeling the same?

>>9359054
Not really. Drink plenty of water and wear sunscreen.

>>9359054
>21
Rest in peace in peace grandma

>>9359058
I do that already,well,excpet for sunscreen. I'm as pale as a ghost and live somewhere where it's not very sunny. Some people say it's good to wear it everyday and some people say it's not so i'm kind of lost about that.
I force myself to drink 2L of water everyday. My skin is clear, thank god.

>>9359054
You need to find other things to value about yourself and focus on that whenever your thoughts go to your looks

>>9359054
No, because I'm not just my clothes and looks.

>>9358954
>what do you think of people with experiences like >>9358546 ?
i don't believe stare rape is real, so i doubt the claim that lolitas are being sexually assaulted in public.

that aside, i grew up in the US South under, basically, Christian sharia law. shit was fucked up. but the community was white and blended in with more moderate Christians so no one noticed or cared. there was recently in the UK a scandal over abuse and miseducation at private Chridtian fundamentalist schools, not to mention the national inquiry into institutions covering up child sex abuse at basically every corner of British society: church, government, schools, sports clubs. the issue of harassment and abuse within communities is less about immigrants and more about human nature in general. if you scapegoat immigrants and ignore their native-born counterparts, that only solves a tiny, temporary fraction of the problem.

my safety tip for any lolita in any society is to not be a lone lolita. if there are problems in your area that are specifc to lolitas, gather visibly in groups. a flock of pettis might still attract rude words, but not outright intimidation because bullies avoid picking on people with friends. so if you are in an area where lolita fashion might get you harassed, don't wear it out alone.

also, abuse perpetuates when victims accept their own silence, so never hide your complaints if you are mistreated, no matter who the perpetrator is or what political ideology might be implicated. shitbags fester in all kinds of groups; con horror story threads are always rife with tales of some legbeard or neckbeard violating someone who was too shocked to take the matter to police. banning all fat virgins from cons won't necessarily keep you from getting period blood smeared on your face, and banning immigrants from your country will not make it a loli paradise. focus on the specific perps, and share your stories and whatever evidence you have publicly if police don't help.

>>9359091
>i don't believe stare rape is real,
whoop, that was referring to a deleted post, sorry to the anon whose post i confused

and sorry to the mods if this is not adequately on-topic, but alternative fashion people get shit on in all kinds of cultures so my hope is to encourage people to frame the harassment in terms more relevant to the global nature of abusive environments. it applies within comms as well, if there is a bully or disruptive presence. no matter what flag they fly over their asshattery, you have to publicly call them out and separate the abuse from the political/religious framework they use to justify it, in order to resolve the situation

>>9358338
Nope, nothing wrong with it at all. Plus you can get on a repayment plan once you're done and as long as you make the minimum payments (can be as low as $0 a month) on time for 25 years your loans dissolve.

>>9358852
>The most annoying people where Romanians pretending to be deaf attempting to pickpocket you

>>9359066
Well, that's your probably. Sunscreen protects against UVA rays, which are what age you. UVA rays come through windows and filter through clouds, so they're there even if it's not sunny outside. You need to start wearing sunscreen daily and also start an anti-aging skincare routine.

I started wearing sunscreen daily at 17 and started an anti-aging skincare routine at the same time. I'm 23 and I look amazing. Honestly I look younger now than I did when I started wearing sweet at age 16.

>>9359145

more people need to understand this. UVA and UVB damage is invisible to the naked eye at first, so even if you think you are fine without it, you might actually lready be damaged.

>>9359145
you sound like a fucking moron, please don't take loans out for the sake of your poor credit score

>>9359213
Except if you take out loans and make timely payments you're literally just increasing your credit score.

Source: my credit score is 802 and just gettin' better

>>9359196
This is not true, actually. Student debt isn't a big deal if you have on time payments and aren't like, in immense debt from it (like way over the average amt of student loan debt, we're talking 40k or more here).

Plus, taking out student loans is really good for your credit while you're in school. If you play your cards right and get a credit card through your bank, always pay it off or at least make your on time payments of more than the minimum, you could end up with a 20k credit limit and a crazy good credit score like me after 4 years of school and student loans.

>>9359231
Key words, seriously in debt. A lot of people I know are at >100k.
If anon is taking 25 years to pay off <40k, I really doubt they'll get a loan.

>>9359243
As someone who has taken out nearly every student loan available to them I just don't understand how people end up over 100k. I haven't even hit the 20k mark yet and I'm nearly done.

>>9359249
Try out of state. Or go for a medical degree. Or go for your phd. It's pretty easy if you have zero financial aid. Also can't forget living expenses if you live in a populous area.

>>9359099
Ay fellow frenchlita.
Man, I wonder why the Japanese branch decided to do so.

>>9359249
Are you in a private school with no access to state grants due to any number of random reasons? Cuz that's usually the fastest way to rack up loans over 100k beyond what other anon said.

>>9359145
Are you talking about federal loans? Because that's not how private student loans work at all in the US, at least. Also absolution of federal loans only applies to those who have chosen to work in the public sector, it's not applicable to most people.

On top of all that, no one has actually qualified or used these forgiveness programs because they were barely implemented in 2007 and heaven fucking knows if it's going to actually stay in place long enough for it to kick into gear.

>sage for off topic

>>9359099
Because it's not making enough money to stay afloat

>>9359305
I am talking about federal loans. And there is a new(ish) program for federal loans, it's a repayment plan based off income. After 25 years of on time payments, the remaining amount dissolves, even if your on time payments were $0 for 25 years. It's available to anyone in any field.

>>9359255
This. I went to school out of state for grad school and had to pay for school on my own. Worked for min wage at $7.50/hr thinking it would help offset bills but that only paid for gas and food. Barely. I wish I was wiser about loans then but eh.

>>9359249

>>9357706

>>9359327
I'm the anon who asked, I'll have around 30000 dollars of student loans if I spend all of the money I recieve + my tuition fees. I was only going to spend half of my loaned allowance money (the same I spend last year) but didn't know I should try to be more frugal this year.

>>9357747
I'm from the UK, you won't really get looked at in london, they're super used to lolitas and tourists.

In the countryside remember: it WILL rain. Don't ruin your shoes. It depends what kind of countryside you mean, if you mean "tiny little town in the middle of nowhere" you'll get snickers and people pointing but no one will like, get aggressive, but it will be muddy and disgusting.

>>9359320
Looked it up - if I'm understanding this correctly, you'd pay nothing if you make a low amount of money. So yes, you were right in that regard. However, I'm not entirely sure what the benefit of having low income for 25 years just to skip out on loan payments is, considering that things like saving up for retirement, daily cost of living and emergencies isn't being factored into any of this. Or even having to pay debt for that long just to get the rest discharged is.

And never mind things like car loans, mortgages, so on and so forth. The power of being able to start saving at around 20-something with compound interest versus delaying it til 30s or 40s due to debt and loans is huge. 25 years of debt hanging over anyone's head while maintaining a low income is not in any way beneficial when you start actually calculating everything else that it affects in your life.

>>9359320
Okay, but going to school is usually to try and improve your job prospects. If your income is so low your monthly payment has to be $0, it doesn't sound like you can afford any more loans.

Do any fashion design students wear lolita?
Do you wear it to your university?
What do your lecturers say about it?

My parents say that I can't wear lolita to college because if my lecturers see me in it, any future career prospects will be ruined...
When I submitted my portfolio, a good 3/5 of it was directly lolita related content, which my lecturer recognised and commented on when she looked at it. I got in to my program with what they saw in my portfolio. So I'm basically trying to determine if I should listen to what my parents say, or fuck it and wear what I want to my classes.

It should be obvious, but I'm now afraid that my lecturers will think less of me for my clothes because it's too gaudy and cheap looking.

>My parents say that I can't wear lolita to college because if my lecturers see me in it, any future career prospects will be ruined...

That doesn't even make any logical sense no matter how you look at it.

If you're an adult just do whatever the fuck you want.

>>9359631
I believe it is because (as they think) it is ridiculous and a lot of fashion is about who you know, so the lecturers will look down on me for dressing badly and not reccomend me for any internships or future job prospects. My mom also said that I would never get past a job interview stage if I wore lolita to it (but who the fuck wears lolita to a job interview anyway, not sure what the point was).
I just need to know if I should put any weight on their opinions about my clothes at this point. I'm more interested in costume design than fashion, anyway, so it may matter even less.

>>9359630
>fashion design student
>shouldn't wear Lolita to class

Isn't wearing whacky shit basically mandatory for this kind of field? I work next to a famous fashion college and I see all kinds of (in my opinion) terribly dressed people.

Also if you look gaudy and cheap in Lolita you might be doing it wrong to be honest.

>>9359145
>>9359231
My fiancé thought like this for five years and now he has a 70k debt and it's impossible for us to get a mortgage over 50k. Houses start at 200k where we live. Interest is negligible but it still means we'll either have to move into a literal broom closet or keep pissing away rent money for the next 10 years. I love him, but fucking hell.

>>9359631
I don't know anything about fashion design but if it's anything like my field, lecturers = professors = bigwigs with connections who you'll most likely run into later when it comes to finding an internship and then a job. I never wore full on lolita to uni but still managed to have a reputation based on me always wearing skirts in a field that's 80% dudes in ratty jeans. Fortunately it was a favourable one.
For fashion design I feel like it should be expected that people dress differently. I believe that as long as you dress tastefully (by lolita standards), don't wear replicas and aren't an OTT sweet lolita going for some hyper-minimalist /fa/ internship, you should be able to wear what you want.

>>9359642
Gaudy is subjective though. Plenty of normies think even well-executed sweet lolita and OTT anything is gaudy as hell.

>>9359642
I'm in my first few weeks so I can sort of gauge the clothes people wear. There is a small group composing of most of the male students and a few females who are in to Gosha Rubchinvsivy, helmet Lang, Rick Owens etc styled clothing.
They are the ones who dress the most outlandishly out of my entire class.
Everyone's clothing is very subdued, blacks/whites with subtle details. There are a few students in other years who dress oddly and actually wear some colour, but they do not dress outlandishly.
The issue with my clothes is not that they are cheap (most of my lolita wardrobe is brand) but that the bright colours and large amount of details could suggest that I am trying to compensate for a lack of knowledge, that I don't know how to dress myself, or that I am trying too hard to stand out.
I have received compliments a few times for my more interesting (otome styling of normal clothing) outfits however I can't tell if my classmates are being genuine or sarcastic and trying to see if I actually think my outfits look good.
>>9359663
You've summed it up pretty well. My lecturers seem to know what lolita is, but I can't tell if they hate it or what.

>>9358219
>>9358246
That would be me! Reposting the picture...

However, if you meant their one-off pre-made ones, I haven't

>>9359720
Haha thanks! There are a few other active lolita blogs (Luna Rain, Cupcake Kamisama, Pastel Peggy are three that come to mind straight away) but I do try and be regular with my posting!

Does anyone know some gothic lolita blogs to read?

>>9359630
You're in an art program at a university. Do whatever the fuck you want, as long as you're good at it and don't break some esoteric design taboos. Now is the time to do shit and have fun, I did a lot of really stupid shit in college.

Your parents are old, what do they know? It sounds like they're the most disapproving of your hobby, if they honestly think lolita is immature and will kill your future. Like what the fuck, haha.

>>9358825
Nah it doesn't, it's just the same as any capital city. Just don't go to the crappiest parts (and there's nothing to see there so idk why you would go anyway, like Barbes or Saine St Denis)

If you do look like a tourist you might encounter scammers, but it's the same ones as in Rome or any other big city.

Also you'll probably get some stares and be harassed if you wear lolita especially by arab looking young men. Don't engage or go to a store to lose them. Usually thugs rarely carry weapons with them so you don't risk much.

>>9358848
I noticed that japanese companies are often lagging behind in terms of e-commerce. I tried to ask the clerks of the stores but they couldn't do anything and told me if they ever did a website, they'd hire a japanese agency, which sort of make sense but it's kinda stupid to hire a japanese company to market to western customers.

>>9358906
True. As a feminist I'm so totally tired of PC feminists defending an ass-backward religion that doesn't even respect them. Durhurr veiled muslimas are the real feminists ! Can we stop coddling them and their stupid views ? Tired of having to take the high road because we had the upper-hand decades ago. If the muslim world didn't have so many internal conflicts they'd have been the one to invade us (like they did in the south of france before). It was all fair game at the time, they just didn't have the opportunity. /rant

>>9357892
Can't help thinking that this would be inevitable. It's a shame because I wanted them to open up a London branch, but if this one is closing I can't see that happening. I don't know much about the French lolita comm, but I always assumed there were less french lolitas than there were british, so why not sell in England? London gets a fuckload of dumb tourists like Paris does, and in britain tourists expect to see people wearing weird clothing, especially in central and camden. Damn it Baby, I wanted you to thrive.

>>9359630
Are you a good student? Are you planning on attending your lectures and classes and handing your work in on time?

If so, they legitimately won't give a fuck.

I had a bright purple mohawk for most of college and my supervisor, the department and all of our guests gave zero fucks. If you have the brains, they won't care what you look like.

You especially won't need to worry if they know what lolita is and it's relevant to your field. Your parents are worrywarts (or are trying to encourage you to let go of lolita for other reasons).

>>9359789
There aren't less French lolita's, lolita's from other European countries just aren't as active in English online communities

>>9359099
Because their website is confusing and they don't have enough customers in Paris to buy directly in their store. The hassle is too big and their prices are already too high compared to the japanese stores + second hand values to push people to buy directly there.

They also don't have a marketing strategy so they go unnoticed by potential customers.

>>9359789
>London gets a fuckload of dumb tourists like Paris does, and in britain tourists expect to see people wearing weird clothing

Those are valid concerns, but as the other anon said at the end of the day your work and work ethic will speak for themselves. When I was in vocational school, being one of the few people who regularly showed up even to classes that were excruciatingly boring, and not having a 'whatever' attitude regarding everything made me be thought of as a reliable person who got things done and I had great relationships with most of my lecturers despite standing out. Please wear what you like, I'm rooting for you.

>>9359782
>if they ever did a website, they'd hire a japanese agency
Not surprising, that's typical for Japanese companies. I'm in the automation industry and they won't even hire American integrators (their international branch of their own company for something their Japanese branch can't do) over another Japanese company.

>>9359674
you sound paranoid af anon, you need to stop letting your parents rag on you because its obviously effecting your self esteem. do what makes you happy, wear what you like, itll help you succeed in the long run because people will see the wonderful creative person you are.

I've started to wear lolita daily and tough I don't want to wear lolita to clubs/pubs/work, it feels really odd to change to normie clothes for some occasions. There've already been threads about incorporating lolita in your work clothes, but what do you wear when you go out at night?

Am I the only one who really wishes Disney in the USA would do collabs with lolita brands? Seriously, if they sold stuff like Kiss Me Cat at Disney Springs, it would sell like crazy, even non-lolitas would buy it. And people are always ready to spend tons of money at Disney. It's like a huge missed business opportunity.

>>9360042

I haven't seen it go that far (guess that depends on the business), but when it comes to websites and such, I've made the experience that many Japanese companies really want to have the same stuff everywhere. In my company for example, the intranet has to look the same for every branch and the HQ, even though we don't have access to the HQ's intranet for example.

lol, k8 indirect?

Hello, i remember someone on this board posting a link towards a shop selling victorian inspired shoes, in the 300 dollars price range.
I would kindly appreciate if any anon could give me the name of that shop. And if she knows when they do some sales, that'll be even greater!

>>9360119
American Duchess maybe?

>>9360119
Oak Tree Farms?

>>9359002
>>9358989
That show was so good

>>9360146
Thanks! it's one i was looking for

>>9360138
I already know this one, but thank you anyway!

>>9360119
Probably not this brand, but John Fluevog is around that range and has Victorian inspired boots and shoes often. Especially has a lot of good options if you're on the gothic side.

>>9360080
Disney licenses and designs according to the culture that they're selling to. That's why most of the stuff we see from Japanese collaborations look a certain way, and why you'll find different looking character designs in the parks. Given our norms and standards here in the US, even if there were to be a collaboration it'd probably look like shit.

Renting is a smarter choice with the current economic climate anyway.

tl;dw - home ownership is a shit investment, rent instead.

Where can I find lacy gloves like ones in the picture? Not after a 100% match, but I need them to be long, black and semi-transparent. Anything decent will do. I've been searching for aeons but all I keep finding is cheapo AE shit-tier.

I wore lolita all through college, except the 2 weeks we stayed overnight in the studio sewing thesis lol. My teachers liked it, and I've even had one graphic design teacher who also bought Jfash (mostly BPN and that sort of gothier stuff. She did graphic design for kids' apparel at Levi's, and I'm guessing she dressed the same way for work). Do not expect to be able to design lolita for projects for school! You will most likely start out doing ready-to-wear collections and not even touch anything conceptual until later on. However, in my experience, teachers tend to like it and see it as an example of good styling. There's been at least one lolita in every year below me since, too, so it's not uncommon. But also do not expect to be able to wear it all the time, because you will be much too tired to even get properly dressed because of the all-nighters you will pull.

Have fun!

What kind of shoes do you recommend? It'll be the end of July, early August

Completely serious question - what does everyone think of sugar daddies buying lolita items for their sugar babies, even if not in a sexual way? I recently had an older man offer to finance my lolita hobby, and I personally said no because I didn't want it held over me as clout, but what does everyone else think?

I just cleared out my wardrobe, including my lolita pieces. What I have ended up with is a pile of bodyline (all of my bodyline items except for shoes actually).
Would you look down on someone who owned no bodyline items?
I'm debating keeping one of the dresses, but it is quite worn out. I am thinking to re-buy it, so I will have two of the same dress which I can use to twin with friends.

>>9360493

>>9360493
It's just prostitution with a different name

>>9360493
I personally don't see a problem with it

>>9360238
You don't even know which country I live in or what our economy is like. For us, home ownership is a better investment than most and rent prices are ridiculously high for people in our income bracket.

>>9360495
>Would you look down on someone who owned no bodyline items?
lol no? Why would anyone? Most lolitas will eventually gravitate towards Japanese and indie brands as their wardrobe develops and will eventually get rid of their old Bodyline starter pieces. It's a natural progression. The only people who would criticise that are the kind of bitter Bodyline-chans who see everyone else as elitist brandwhores and are constantly on the lookout for reasons to feel persecuted. Who cares what they think?

>>9360493
I think you have to be extremely careful with this type of man. In the Dutch thread they were talking about someone who offered 500 euro to cosplayers to meet him and he ended up murdering a girl. I know sugardaddies usually pay more once you build a relationship but their mindset is no difference. These type of predators won't say it and can act charming but meanwhile they think they own you.

>>9360497
>>9360655
There are 2 kinds of people...

>>9360462
it won't necessarily rain much if it's that time, but if it's early august you could encounter one random thunderstorm, but you'll be able to tell when one of those is coming. Tea parties will be fine if you can walk in them, if not just take some oxfords. I wear heels pretty much 24/7 and I've never had a problem, but just know if you have to go on grass obviously they're going to sink in kek

My entire wardrobe is brand. From the main pieces to the shoes (and some accessories,the rest is dokidoki,chocomint and the eventual offbrand)
And my entire comm thinks i'm a huge brandwhore.
I don't have as much as I would have if I had some offbrand (for blouses, per example or even shoes) but I just enjoy having brand so much more.

https://youtu.be/4AvhLt5mDN8

I'm trying to like this girl, some of her coords are generally unique and inspiring. But seeing all this stretched brand is just gross and saddening

>>9360493
every sugar baby i know buys less brand than me and they always seem miserable. plus they never shut up about their gross splenda daddies, basically making everybody uncomfortable, yet they have nothing to show for it. i almost want to ask where their new brand is every time they bring it up. it's not for me since i'm not a desperate whore.

Secrets

>>9361116
same

>>9361120
That first one is too relatable for comfort.

I heard several rumors about how Maki and Asuka usually talk shit about non japanese lolitas at tea parties. And some japanese speaking gaijins heard them.
Apparently at the old AP Paris they closed partially because they really disliked not having japanese staff too. Also heard a lot of stuff about Baby Japan being racist.
I wonder if it's truly true. Never liked Maki and Asuka anyway so eh. They're not even cute imo

>>9357706
My husband went to AP for me while he was there for business and got me a couple accessories. That was awesome, because it's totally not his scene.

>>9359763

one of my major inspolitas

>>9361120
wow, this was a big, juicy batch. gg lovelies!!!

>>9361367
It's painfully obvious that a lot of them were made by the same person and they're hardly "juicy". Sorry anon, try harder next week.

I have a pair of black shoes with heart shaped metal clip-on buckles and would like to change them with neutral ones. Does anyone have an idea where I could find them?

>>9361378
*The correct English term for these parts would already help me, so I can look for them myself.

>>9361388
Is it called a shoe clasp?

>>9361370
hmm, I guess the few of them with that Lucida handwriting font
>graphic designer/editor here
are likely by the same person. But it didn't strike me that the majority of them were.
that's weird af

I was just excited to see so many secrets of varying content. oh well

>>9361370
I feel like "heart-shaped shoe buckle" would be good enough to help you

so is there a reason why lolibrary just does trucking work anymore? every time i try to go to it, it times out because there's some error with the server host.

>>9361467
It was working earlier today. But it stopped now.

>>9357658
Has Baby changed their foreign customer service?

Used to be they'd check my address, send me the invoice and after that I wouldn't hear a thing from them, even if I had concerns or things were late.

This time I got a follow up thank you for my payment, a really cheery email when the parcel was sent and when I said thank you, they actually replied in kind.

This. Never. Happens.

Tulle on my skirt got ripped. Looks like a clean cut (almost intentional looking)
Is there any way to cleanly fix it or am I just fucked?

>>9361378
>>9361388
>>9361393
Probably a craft store.
Sell me the heart clasps.

>>9361552
have you tried fabric glue?

>>9361481
They hired a new person after that whole Sana x Chinese lolitas drama.

>>9361115
I'm honestly in love with her.
I would marry her.
glad she got Diner Doll because I thought of her once I saw the release announcement.

she is so inspiring to me because I'm plus sized and I hope to meet her once before I die.
I know you hate her but thank you for sharing this vid. it also reminded me to look into longline bras.

>ugh I love her so much. that sense of humor, that confidence.

I asked this question because my GF was worried about me thinking I'd be put off by the whole lolita thing. I wanted to do something nice for her to reassure her

I ended up sneaking onto her computer and looking at her wishlist. Bought her heels and some other accessories she has been wanting. Set up a picnic in the forest. Made her dress up while I went in my best fitted three piece suit and carried her two minutes off path to the spot I mapped out. I baked cookies, we had tea and I prepared all of her favorite foods (that I knew of). She cried a lot, it was adorable.

Thanks for the help, the sex was great.

>>9361660
nayrt (obviously lol) but I also love her, and this is coming from a skelly-chan who typically hates on fat lolitas. She seems so sweet and nice and her accent reminds me of my grandma's.

>>9361552
Picture?

>>9359054
Must suck to be white

There's no price check thread stop I figure I'll ask here.

How much is the black colorway of the AP Gloria JSK worth nowadays?

There's no price check thread so I figure I'll ask here.

How much is the black colorway of the AP Gloria JSK worth nowadays?

>>9359054
no, because I'm half east azn which means I'll rock on until I'm 60 or so. that's generally the point where we decline, but it's the cute grandma kind of decline so i don't have much to fear.

>>9361860
How about you make a thread

Sorry to burst your bubble but she's not a nice person IRL. Funny, yes, but in a very bitchy way.

easily $500-$600

I saw one on LM for sale at $700.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. There's the whole "Leftover women" thing for China and "birthday cake" thing for Japan. Asian women are typically prized at reaching their peek at age 25. Learn to take care of your face and don't just go "Well, uwu I'm asian so I'm going to pretend that means I won't age".

>>9362005
t. jealous white lady

>>9359828
Fujiwara Yumi basically said at Regalia a IW shop in London would be unviable.
>>9359893
Camden is definitely too "messy", gentrified and full of ogling tourists. I agree Covent Garden would be a good area, but since the Chinatown indoor market and Tokyotoys shut down there's been far less weeb traffic in the area. Artbox manages to stay open, but they do market themselves as a cute stationary shop to the normies. There are other high-end speciality fashion shops in the area, so I could see it working, but it's probably hard to afford the rent.
My dad keeps trying to convince me I'm good enough at sewing to start my own indie brand and open a shop in London but I can't see that happening without a lot effort. I do however think a shop like Madame Chocolat or Summertales Boutique could work in London, but based on the performance of shops in Paris a dedicated brand shop would go downhill fast.

>>9362255
Except I'm full blooded Asian, not half white like you. I just hope you learn actual skin techniques without doing cringy race baiting and self loathing. No race has magical super powers to "Look young" and I hate it when I hear usually American asians think their fading youth will be countered by bein azn.

>>9362303
>half white like you
>all anons are the same

it must suck to have autism

Dude this is girl serious?!

She must be high, this dress has sold for $170 as the highest on LM for the past 5months. On average they are listed $125~150

>>9362476
Did you check to see if she specifies in the description that she wants USD? For some reason there are a number of people who don't read the rules about that, and I've seen dresses listed in RMB, AUD, etc

>>9362303
Except there is actually science behind the reason Asian people don't age as fast as white people (greater concentration of collagen), so they are still likely to age better even if they are mixed race/outside of Asia.

Like, skin routine is important for anyone, but it's definitely a thing.

>>9362710
Yeah and all the ones i've seen was listed in usd and that's why i'm lost she is selling it for that much.
Heck there was two that sold within the last 2~3months that was from the usa and was still under $200.

New thread >>9362783

I can't see it very well but with mesh that size I would take clear sewing thread and carefully tie it back together.
