This is the Star Money knockoff I was talking about, it's ~co-incidentally~ name after a fairy tale too. It's called Daughter of the Sea, which is the Chinese name for The Little Mermaid.

I'm using the term knockoff like H&M or ZARA or F21 do to other designers. Not as in replica.

The designer casually mentioned in the thread after everyone commented about this casual likeness. She says sorry she didn't mention the 'influence' earlier, but since the overall design and central concept is so much different, she doesn't feel it's actually a copy. She also hopes everyone can support her ORIGINALITY.

I just continued it because it's where I started posting this community stuff? I'm still keeping it to the Chinese community, but if you girls think it's more suitable there I can move. I'm still interested in other countries and comms though, but nobody else seems interested in posting? Like the Finnish/Polish comm posted a little before.

I don't see how a few badly dressed bitches and the occasional fatty is hindering China's progress. Excuse me while I take my country's GDP and drown it in cheap lace.

>the way you regard poverty and low-class people
This is an expensive hobby, I'm not judging anyone for being poor. Also many of my comments are regurgitated from Chinese lolitas, and China is a very class and wealth driven society.

>shits on my own race
I don't see what you're talking about. If it's a reference to the double eyelid surgery posts, then you're just overreacting. It's common for Chinese people to have both mono and duolids (I'm a natural double eyelid), and also a common procedure to have it changed for vanity's sake.

Not as a generalization of Chinese lolitas, never mind the Chinese as a whole. I was addressing what >>7480965 said. What I should have said is that it's kind of dumb to bring accusations of being a "classist" bitch in a hobby that requires money, no matter what country it's in. Someone's background should have nothing to do with whether or not a coord is ugly or not. If someone can only afford 2-3 blouses I'm not going to encourage people censoring their opinions on whether or not it's going to get old.
Additionally, if that kind of thing is so prevalent in China that it warrants a generalization, why shouldn't anyone say it?

Our comm is good because it usually offers protection from being posted while we learn from each other. Complaining abstractly on cgl is one thing, but I don't want our group to become one where you're scared of your photos being used in personal attacks.

I get the question a lot IRL haha. I was born and raised in China, but in a bilingual environment. I went to a non-local school and most of my classmates spoke english, as did all of the teachers (minus other language teachers). My dad speaks English and bought me all the books I wanted as a child, so I read a fuck ton. I'm also very good with languages, and can pick them up relatively fast. I learned Japanese on my own through anime and J-drama from 5th to 7th grade, well enough to be recommended to take the 3rd grade Japanese exam by my Japanese teacher in 8th grade. However in languages I have no interest in I won't be motivated at all, like I took French for years at the behest of my mother but I can't remember much at all. I have trouble writing Asian languages because my development was skewed, so remembering hundreds of characters is hard, and my Chinese handwriting is shit. However I can read and speak just fine, which is a huge advantage in the world right now.

hmm, for me there's a lot of anxiety in meeting a group of people that i know have a high standard for appearances. i think there's also being the only new one in a group that's already established, so maybe you could do a sort of "mixer" event for new people to be fully invited and be able to come as a group, and you guys could sort of take on a slightly more mentor role and teach them things throughout the meetup. At the very least, they could come and know that other people would be new and not perfect, too?

You could also reach out, make a post on your comm, saying that you've been getting those sorts of complaints and wanted to know why those feelings were arising and what could be done - then you'd have a solution perfect for your group's exact situation.

Cool, I will be sharing some stuff then.

Most of the Mexican lolitas are poor dressed, since most of them are too young to be working. Starting to work on your teens and earning money from a young age might be normal in the US, but not in Mexico. We basically need to wait until we are adults/we finish school so we can start buying things. so bodyline, replicas and taobao is abundant. There are some lolitas that are particularly good coording, but most aren't. Most of the coords that I've seen are so so so boring and without originality that I just... meh.

We also have Nadia, the inspiration for the Love Nadia skirt from bodyline (Pic related). She hates talking about her experience as a model for bodyline, though. Also, she is not that into lolita anymore, I think because of her studies as a nurse. She owns the angelicpretty url at tumblr, so there's that.

Anything you guys want to know about?

I'm not part of the Miami comm, but I've been in three different comms in three different cities over the years and all of them had private facebook groups that you couldn't search for and were invite only.

Try looking for the comm's livejournal (much easier to find) and introduce yourself. There is usually someone on there who will get your name and info and invite you to the facebook group.

Don't be alarmed when the comm's LJ looks dead, they are pretty much just an a place for girls to introduce themselves before getting the fb invite. The Fb group is where all the action is happening now a days.

Scratch that - the Florida FB comms are all searchable so the Florida LJ comm is pretty much dead (no use for it if you aren't going to use it for introductions).

You will want the South Florida Group. Try searching South Florida Lolitas in fb and you will find them.

Hope this helps anon. Just a piece of friendly advice though, I'm not sure how much you know about lolita, but a huge majority of lolita resources /articles/ guides are either on LJ on EGL or on Hellolace. As a newcomer, you will be MUCH more welcome if you do your research first. A lot of comms don't even accept people without at least one outfit to keep gawkers and creeps at bay. But even if that's not the case here, you don't want to be the person asking "is this lolita/loliable/acceptable?".

Do you research, find out about the brands and fashion rules and shopping guides before hand. We all had to start somewhere, but ideally when you join and start participating it should be to ask about meetups/where and how to buy/new releases, not questions that a simple search of egl could answer.

This is not to scare you off or to say don't participate. Just try and get a handle on the fashion via good research and lurking before you dive right into the comm. You will be better received and will have a lot less face-palm moments to look back on.

Here's some pictures from some recent meets, I think from just the last two weeks or so. There's only one or two consistently well-dressed lolitas, and a large number of those who aren't wearing pettis or makeup or have done their hair.

Mexican lolitas are so sloppy and lazy selfish bitches. Last con the lolita stand made from the comm was absolute SHIT, all of them are too fat to fit in brand, wear the cosplay wigs and the most hideous coords I have yet to see, I think I just saw 1 or 2 brand dresses in the whole con and the gurl was a lone lolita, these landwhales just wear replica, the sad ones, the one with the decoloured prints that they bought no from second or third not even sixth-hand... but those bitches were in charge of that stand and oh god it showed how poor they can be not only in the fashion.
The stand just have like a thousand balloons and a shitty wardrobe with some bodyline shit and some MOAR replica, I also saw a deflated petti and the worst tartan dress of the world. They were handing these shitty printed papers about how awesome and caguaii their comm is and how they should join in fb.
Yeah, thanks for let me know were I have to back my shit off.

I just feel so fucking ashamed of the comms here, I dont even want to be called a lolita when I see that kind of stand, every normalfag will think lolita is that shit... thats not lolita thats just a fucking obese monster wearing some cheap lace.
Funny thing later in the same con I saw the girls from the lolita stand dancing this ps3 game and I laughed my ass off, picture 3 pigs in shitty replicas and itas as fuck dancing to the game while them rolls shake.

I think there's a little bit of internal stuff that happens between people, but it almost never comes out into public, so the community itself and the meet-ups are quite friendly. I think if people don't like each other, they just avoid going to meets with that person. I mean, I guess there was the whole Melissa thing, were he yelled at someone calling them a whore, and then threatened to beat her up on Facebook. And there was the Nipple-chan. But those two are lolcows so I don't really consider them a real part of the community. I guess Ellejay brought in a bit of drama, but that seems to be an internal thing between a few individuals, so I wouldn't say that's affected the community.

And yeah, I've never seen the other brolita before a few recent pictures, and I can't help but feel it would be possible for him to do a good job with better make-up. But his outfits look horrendous, so I'm not sure how much he's willing to try.

Not a comm bitch post, but for the seagulls from NYC here, there's an awesome exhibit by Sebastian Masuda that would make a great meet up (I wish I was in the area!)

It's my theory that there's a girl in every community who fits a similar personality type or behaviour pattern. Every comm I've been a part of has had one.

>fairly new to lolita when bad behaviour starts, maybe 1-2 years in the community
>professes to hate drama more than anything else, but seems to always be creating it somehow or another
>thinks she's the leader of the pack
>actually believes everyone looks up to her
>gets really butthurt when she realises that no one really cares about her one way or the other
>constantly creating new meet-ups that aren't convenient for anyone but her, and gets angry when no one wants/is able to attend
>frequently Vaguebooks about the community and how much everyone in it hates her (which garners asspats from people outside the community who don't know what's going on)
>flounces no fewer than three times within two years, but always comes back
>tries to ingratiate herself on newcomers by telling them what bitches everyone else is and puffing herself up as a martyr or victim of bullying
>denies she has caused any drama, even if her fingerprints are all over the situation in red ink
>eventually leaves for real, either to join a new community or to create her own, 'better' group

Eh, I doubt it, nyc gets new lolitas fairly often and it's not like the comm is unknown for drama/there isn't reason to want to know. No more than anyone else who asks 'what's the scoop on x comm' on here every comm thread.

>> No.7503146

My comm is nice but has it's problems. They're mostly minor/common (ita noobs, fairly spread out, small, etc.) and don't bother me too much. However, it's recently come to my attention that one of our mods, who I think has been in the fashion for quite some time, is a complete idiot/noob and has no place as a moderator.
She recently posted questions about ordering from a brand (not AP, either), using a SS, and a few other things. In my opinion, if you don't know these sort of basic things, you shouldn't be a mod. At least go look them up yourself instead of whining on the comm's fb page.

MD/DC comms are nice. Most of the girls have been there since the beginning, so they all know each other very well. I wish they had more meets that didn't involve tea parties and picnics, but I'm too much of a nobody lurk-fag to suggest one.

Would love to go to a nice fancy dinner with fellow lolita. The ones with more than one course and suggested wine pairings.

1) it's nyc so there's always a million new people coming in and out of the area.
2) it doesn't matter because as far as I can tell, the drama is so bad that everyone is too scared to talk about it beyond occasional allusion. Neither that or they're sworn to secrecy and if they say more, the Lolita gods that have cursed the island of Manhattan swoop down and eat their soul.

I am not really sure if that's true - I still see some really well done or OTT coords at bigger events. There are also a lot of "casual" meets where sometimes Lolita isn't even that strictly required. I am sure people will step up their game soon for upcoming local events.
And it's not like I go to a meet just to drool over other people's outfits (I used to!). Most people I've met in the comm are sincerely nice and talented, and I go to meets just to have fun with a bunch of frillybutts for a while.

>> No.7504179

When people from my comm keep trying to invite Mr. Yan to come to meet-ups in our area. It's like they don't understand that Mr. Yan coming to your area is not a good thing. It's a weird, creepy thing, especially for the younger members.

Aside from all his BL craziness; baby mommas, Venus, model waifus, etc., I think it'd be an interesting experience to meet Yan too. I don't really like BL but- I feel like, might as well meet as many designers as you can if you get the chance.

I personally don't think he's creepy either, but you gotta consider the kind of comm that thinks it's a great idea to invite him for a teaparty, given that the report on the last one was a bit... unglamorous. Even if the food and atmosphere isn't important to you, you'll be rubbing elbows with possibly crazy BL brand elitists, or girls going "fufufu Mr Yan teaparty we don't like him it's so fahneh".

Yes, absolutely. Just get into talking with them. The usuals are really nice, although you have to be careful because I know a few of them that have strong personalities, so it's a little intimidating. I've known them for quite a while now, I'm not new or anything, and some of them still make me feel anxious. But it could just be because I literally have anxiety I have to take meds for, rofl.

Depends on what you mean. I mean, I know several of them reblog feminist posts and that sort of thing online, but they aren't loud about it in person unless something actually offensive happens. If you get with the in-crowd/regulars, it's so great to gossip with them. They are just a really funny group all-in-all. At the con before the fashion show we had a ton of fun together going through drive-thrus after piling into cars with all of our pettis smooshing us, and we gossiped a bit in the car and the fashion show host's hotel room while getting ready. We aren't mean about it though, luckily. I don't think anyone would tolerate any super mean gossip, but we just complain a bit, or maybe wonder about things and such about other comm members. It's pretty innocent, but they make it super funny and silly.

Are you new to the comm? I've been in it for a while, and I really love most of the people in it. Just curious.
