Queen Bee type. The comm is quiet and doesn't like to make waves, so it's not really talked about much. Does anyone remember when she was all "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" She threw a small fit about how they wouldn't reschedule ILD just for her, then backtracked so fast to cover it up. She ended up explicitly saying that she wasn't trying to get everyone to do something special for her. The comm offered to do a second big tea meet for her, but she tried to guilt the organizer for not *including* her, even though she "did her best to organize most of the comms meet". For background, she's going to Japan, and comes back the week of ILD, and claims to be too exhausted to attend. She's a little on the entitled side, she even lives off her boyfriend's parents...but used to complain pretty publicly about how unhealthy their food supposedly is (portions, much?).

Wants to dump all over Ohio but its not bad. Is everyone well dressed? Not always, but meets are generally fun and the people are nice and enjoyable for the most part. The only issues are the large influx of cosplayers and newbies that seem to be transitioning into the comm recently. A lot of the more well dressed girls all seem to have jobs or school that prevents them from attending a lot of meets. If you're looking for god tier coords at every meet all the time then Ohio isn't for you. If you're looking for friendly people and a way to explore and have fun with the fashion then it's a great community.

I'm tired of seeing 'Panda' and her shitty TX Lolitas Unite event getting posted on all the Texas groups.
She's a fat bitch with no style, and her event 2 years ago sucked dick. Who the fuck wants to drive all the way to austin just to see the capital and eat lunch?

She made a weightloss motivational group (which helped basically everyone in it, except her) because she wanted lolicheerleaders for her progress (but stopped posting to it because there was none). She's very narcissistic, but tries to be careful because she craves e-fame. Complains about money for meets, but keeps buying lolita. She's very high and mighty, and doesn't take to criticism well.

She's not as bad as she could be, but definitely is selfish.

She pretended to be someone's friend to get to cheaper private sales from Japanese lolis, then trashed the same person publically at a later date. Scalped the dress set for $150-200 more than what she got it for then continued to speak badly of her "friend". She's fake, so I wouldn't be surprised if she trash talks you behind your back.

I don't think my lolita comm is for me. I have only been to a few meet ups and some of the girls were really nice but we have nothing in common and have very different approaches and values in life... Even the well dressed girls embarrass me as they squeal out kawaii and memes or are such a hug box that they will ignore legitimate call outs and would rather a comm go to shit of over enthusiastic itas in millanoo posting non stop than to tell them to stop. Maybe there are a few potential good friends amongst the hundred or so but I have no idea how to get to them and sift through them as we rarely have big meets and what's the chance of sitting next to them at a teaparty.

Our comm was posted on btb this week for a not petty and legit reason, the post got several comments of people agreeing with the op and expressing concern over the state of our comm. It was fairly civil and not vendettachans and calling out uglyBITCHWHORES etc like btb sometimes does. This resulted in a straight away ban for anyone talking about or posting btb or saying anything negative or non supportive.

Anyway, the members who commented on the BtB did so in a way that didn't disparage anyone, call them names or put them down so I am glad to be amongst sane, normal ladies.

Yes I didn't like the way we were basically told, "stop being mean bitches" because really, there wasn't that much being said that was mean or bitchy.

Up until now people have just been turning a blind eye to it. I know I have, because I don't want to rock the boat or to come across as a big ol bitch like you said. Also, since I am not an admin, I don't think it is my place to police the page for appropriate behaviour.

The girls have never been posted here, so the admins should have faith that we aren't out to make fun or upset any of the members.

There's a very small, newish one in Cork, I'm a member myself but I haven't met many of the girls yet because I'm mainly up in Dublin for school, and I'm in such a nowhere town that's pretty far from the city when I'm in Cork, but everyone I've met is lovely and everyone else seems lovely. I'm part of one of the bigger ones up in Dublin as well at that's great too, of course! But I don't think it's really too much to have a Dublin comm and a Cork comm, I know myself it's a terrible bother to get up to Dublin from Cork and the surrounding counties, especially when it's only for the day. And the reason for the two Dublin comms is that one group is a little more into cosplay than lolita.

I don't know how to get a feel of people as everything is such a forced hug box or make friends I can relate with as everything is fake sugar smiles sunshine. I'm really anxious and don't get along with too many people well, not because I am rude and dislike them, just that it takes a lot to feel like its worth making a genuine connection as I am a heavy introvert and I find most people draining.

Dumbest thing about Perth comm is that the blowing up about btb was a serious post calling out someone being atrocious, everyone was polite and friendly on btb discussing the post, and in the original post on facebook, one of the mods utterly missed the point of the issue and defended and cheered on the girl being rightfully called out on.

I think Perth comm needs also for people to stop pushing their sense of humour on others. Regarding the stickers, one girl didn't like the word whore and took offence to it which I view as fine as obviously she is from a more conservative background and doesn't follow dumb lolita memes and jokes. I found the jokes gross not because I was offended but because fuck dumb meme comic sans jokes. They were awful and not funny and legit made me uncomfortable.

Wasn't huge, drama may not even be the right word it was just immature

The story goes when she first joinned the comm she and another new girl became loli bffs, then they had a pretty big falling out over something stupid, I think it was a replicas vs. Brand thing. Her friend was big on brand and didn't like replicas but the mod only wore replicas at the time and took offense and lashed out. Anyway the other girl dropped out of the comm to avoid too much shit stirring. Then awhile later some dumb and mean secrets were posted and mods deleted a few people all of which were close friends of the girl who left. Being friends of girl who left and her friends who were deleted myself I know they didn't make the secrets as they didn't know about it till they were deleted from the comm.

I have heard her call herself a brandwhore. I don't think she is evil, I think she just tries to avoid conflict (this is just my opinion).

I have missed the post where the other girl said she was hurt and if the mod did just brush it off then that's not good. I expect more from a mod of the comm.

>> No.7538064

>>7538057
Granted I have only been to about five meets and I know she often posts about anxiety so I feel for her at times but given the new context I am okay to view her more harshly.

I can honestly understand her being confused with someone taking offence to brandwhore as she does seem not that smart in regards to critical reading and well yeah as mentioned, the leader of the kawaii weeb patrol. It's inconsistent however they are so against cgl and btb but don't see the contradiction with brandwhore.

While I can get the offence, I was hurt by the obvious shameful sucking up, the girl even said they were for her ' favourite super lolita cute friends' or something to that manner, and the mod in question loved that and ate the attention up, even gloating about being the only one to get two stickers.

Overall it is dumb and weird they are such a hug box and still so dumb to see how this was an issue, I guess the moment its positive attention towards them they lose the ability to think critically and about others.

I'd like an apology and for them to recognise the btb was about an honest call out and not us being petty bitches and perhaps remove a certain mod so maybe she can become more humble.

>> No.7538067

I agree she just tries to avoid conflict but I don't think that does much good for anyone when she is clearly an idiot.

Another Perth seagull checking in here, just want to put on the record that I also largely agree with everything everyone is saying here.

I don't really know how the mods were chosen and am annoyed by that fact. I often find myself wanting to say something about things that have been posted group page inappropriately but don't find it is my place to not being a mod myself, and cringe when mods don't seem to do anything about it. I don't want to message the mods myself as I feel I might come off as bossy or mean.

From the last time we were posted on btb I absolutely hated how it was handled, I can't believe some people were so offended and defensive about the whole thing, it's like they've never been on the internet before. Haters gonna hate, brush it off and move on.

The mod we've been talking about, she's a lovely girl that makes meets lively and fun, but I don't think she has the right attitude to be a mod.

I'm pretty much a lone loli in the Perth comm and wear casual lolita pretty often and have eaten mdma in loli pretty often at parties with no issue, I just don't think I really fit in with most the girls at our comm as I often go out and party and going out is viewed as top 40 music and blonde tanned tacky girls and no one is aware of our great alternative scene.

I think its because I don't view lolita as a very rare 'wow so beautiful dress' type thing. Most my clothes are of similar price as I mainly by second hand closet child dresses and I don't think spending around $100-$200 for a good clothing piece is that big of a deal and I normally wear pretty extravagant alternative fashion every day and I eat drugs pretty often casually, I've had acid a bunch of times, eat dexies most weekend, and tried pretty much everything at least once but you wouldn't be able to tell as lolita's are still hung up over drinking, let alone realise lots of people casually eat drugs and it isn't a big deal in any way.

For example I have been in the Perth Community for years and never mentioned drugs to anyone and don't think anyone suspects a think.

Hula Bula is most likely too small and crowded though unless we booked a back room.

Our current community in Athens, Greece.
We used to have a nice, bigger one with lots of well dressed people, and also the occasional itas and newbies. Our old Queen bees were kind of stuck up, but polite and dressed nicely and would help a lot those that were interested in improving, like me.

Now everyone from back then has either grown out of it or gone solo. The new community is itas only and the new "Queen Bee" (middle in the pic), is Bodyline OTT sweet level, so it is like the blind leading the blind.
I'd like to offer some help if I could but honestly I'd be too embarrassed to go anywhere with them.

I need help you guys. My comm is BS. I have a group of like 4 friends, the only decent Lolis in my country (I'm from a "poor" country). I dont' want to start drama, but I think it's about time we form our own group because we really don't get along well with the orthers: they are cheap, support replicas, post BS on the Facebook page (stealing images/no crediting, poor grammar and aweful spelling mistakes, they only feature the "leaders" and are selfentitled as fuck).
How should I proceed? They also believe me and my friends are brandwhores because we are the only ones who own some decent amount of brand. The truth is, we are kinda older (20's) and we work, so we can afford our own stuff.
Please, help me with your advise and thougts seagulls!

The mods in my comm (Chicago) made this rule a long time ago. It surprised me but the ban on discussing secrets has been a very good thing. Whenever a secret was posted about someone in the community, they would post on the community facebook page threatening the secret maker. After discussion got banned, people stopped making secrets because they were not getting the attention they wanted. It may seem annoying now but it worked well for us and I am glad it happened.

If you really wanna avoid drama, since you're so few, you could always just have it as "we're a few friends who like to do things together" thing outwards rather than "we're a different comm". And do meets like a "we're going out in lolita together today!" thing rather than "we're having a lolita meet-up today". And if people start going "WHY WASN'T I INVITED????!!!!" you can say something like "it wasn't an official meet or anything, we just wanted to go out and have tea!". I don't know how well it'd work with Lolita communities, but me and a few friends did a similar thing with a different larger group once.

If she is reading this thread then I don't think it's worth one person being known as a bitch, especially when we express fear that not all mods are on the same page and one seems super hug boxy and defensive. I hope you come back and read this or someone at least alerts you of this but here is a rough run down of suggestions.

STOP THE BAN. We are mature adults, please treat us as such. You can tell none of us are overly hurtful as we haven't posted about some obvious ita's and only got upset over what we viewed as a genuine injustice that was ignored and had no other platform to discuss it. Sweeping things under the rug may keep the peace but it leaves what this thread proves, A LOT of us isolated and biting our tongues. If a secret or bitching is obvious attention seeking, mean spirited, or vendetta, say that, but this secret wasn't the case, and this rule is very nanny state and not trusting of us or allowing us to organically talk through issues like normal adults.

Which leads into STOP THE HUG BOX mentality. This will be a lot tougher as it's so heavily ingrained and no one really knows where to start as we are terrified with being branded as a bitch and a meanie. I think the best way would be for mods to lead by example. Perhaps start a thread just for concrit? Next time someone posts a co ord, suggest the compliment sandwich method, ie two compliments with a suggestion in the middle. If someone just says 'look cute!!!!' or 'super kawaii' view that as not the best.

Try and tame the newbies. This is going to have to be tough love but maybe make a post to not treat our page as their diary or only 'photoshoot' posts will be accepted if they are seeking concrit. A mod will need to usher in a new atmosphere of calling a spade a spade, or in this case, an ita milanoo disaster an ita milanoo disaster. If a few mods and higher ups can make helpful suggestions to new members rather than ignore to keep the peace, hopefully the general vibe can change.

>>7538402
continuing on

Try and encourage more posts from older members to try and lead the way. Maybe a review thread of indie and taobao brands or fun dress up mini challenges to include a large variety of people. A big complaint here were many people saying they don't feel like this community is for them and I think this wold be a fun way to break the ice.

MEET UP VARIETIES. When was the last time we had a big meet beyond a teaparty or picnic. I also know I have been scared to go to teaparties due to the high presence of new comers. A few here suggested a fancy cocktail meet up. I think that might go down well and worth a shot. A lot of those feeling isolated will be discouraged to suggest meets they feel they will find engaging as they don't have any friends in the comm. Again, if one of our several mods leads the way and tries out a variety of different meet up ideas, I am sure we can find something that will stick.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, I think a lot of feathers have been deeply ruffled by this issue. I am sure it wasn't all how the secret was dealt with but the secret was very much a blow up of a lot of feelings and previous issues that should have been nipped in the bud. I think a certain mod should be stripped of her position, I don't think she is bad and I honestly think she has no idea she even offended someone, but that alone shows she isn't cut for the job. Several people other than me have elaborated on how poorly she dealt with this issue and very much turned a blind eye to an obvious issue as attention was being paid to her. In return perhaps mod up someone of a different background and isn't as hugboxxy and can try and inject some new life in our comm and encourage the lone lolitas to come out the wood works and feel like they have something to relate to. An apology would also be great from the mod's as a whole for perhaps not dealing with the issue the best but I am not sure how well that will go down as we still are very much hugbox.

going on still...

I am sure it isn't an issue unique to our comm but western lolita's as a whole but we need to try and stop the black and white thinking in regards to cgl and btb being bad and evil and our local comm being a magic sunshine pit. The way some girls so violently react to btb and cgl just make me think they post here all the time and are trying to cover their tracks by being so 'OMG ME NEVER I WOULDNT ITS A BLACK PIT OF NEGATIVITY'. This thread has shown several of us read this and are able to coherently express our concerns without being petty and evil and mean, we go here as we feel there is not space for us in our community to have honest and frank discussions. I'm sick of these sites being the elephant in the room but I really don't know how to address that and that's an issue I guess the lolita comm as a whole needs to slowly try and address.

Most importantly I just want to try and address realising we all stumble upon lolita in different ways and have different backgrounds and I think a lot of us are very discouraged when the main view presented is that of a as previously mentioned, constable care super kawaii forever hug box. Having meet ups and discussions which extend outside of this frame of mind, perhaps encouraged and started by mods to begin with, I am sure will make a lot of us a lot happier.

Alas I guess this is why I am more of a gothic girl than a sweet girl aha.

We don't mean harm and at the end of the day just want to make friends and I feel bad knowing people in our comm mentioned in this thread are probably feeling awful right now but we just want a comm to be proud of and you really need to question what being so non confrontational and sweeping things under the rug will do to our comm.

There, that's all my suggestions I think. I am sorry I can't send these to you as a message but as previously mentioned, we are pretty shit scared of being called out because look what you did over a fairly legit secret.

Actually when it comes to lolita, nothing. Just a lot of newbs. The state is 8th in obesity and the economy is shit. Lots and lots of cons, so that explains the fat, poor, and not so well dressed ones. The nicer ones don't make it to meets often because they work. I think only a few actually document their outfits.

The real drama (all this recent shit) is just one batshit crazy seagull who feels slighted because she wrote an angry textwall against altering brand, someone made a secret about it, she started cherrypicking every picture she could find to /cgl/, got found out, booted, vandetta posted one of the better members in an ita-thread, and later bawleeted her facebook account when someone posted her pictures here and called her out for being fat after calling other people fat herself. So whenever you see someone bring it up out of the blue, it's probably her. And you are providing her a venue for her only entertainment in her sad, pitiful life.

Apparently this is the one state where fat, crazy, and financially unstable bitches run amuck, and this chick is one of them.

i'm really glad that a mod is here reading. although I understand completely where you were coming from with that rule, it is way too heavy-fisted. I agree with the others that there should be more focus on actual lolita things and less people posting things like 'I bought makeup! i am going to use it for lolita!' and 'here are five photos of my cross stitching!' and that more concrit would be good for members (we do have a few itas but they don't seem to come to meetups) but people should ask/check first if it is ok to give concrit.
I really love this comm and the people are really lovely. I hope we can all come together and make the comm a better place.

Everyone I have met through the comm has been very nice and welcoming. There are a couple of "internet lolcows" that get posted here or on btb quite often, but I don't think people in the comm has actually said anything (or care? I am not sure). I don't think I have a complete perspective simply because I haven't gone to a lot of recent meets, but there are probably lots more meets in the summer and I am quite excited for them.

As I said before she is a lovely girl, and I am horrified that she would go to such an extreme. I don't think we were nasty here, but something must have struck her hard in order to do it. Really, all that was being asked was for it to be toned down and for people to be taken seriously and treated with respect when they say 'I have a problem with this'. As illustrated time & again in the FB thread there is a time and a place for everything and the girls need to understand which is which. I do hope that she is all right.

I just double checked for new comments on btb and nothing THAT bad was really said. I guess someone with such thin skin though shouldn't really be a mod but I sincerely do hope she is okay, especially knowing her anxiety issues, and she can return to our comm. Let her know that at cgl we may be the biggest of bitches and object to some of the stuff she said but we ultimately wish no harm on her and don't view her as evil or bad, just misguided. I can relate as if I ever read about myself in such a manner from a group which I proudly called pretty much my only friends, I think I would react in a similar manner.

She wasn't admitted or anything. Only another loli friend that was worried about her because she had some depressive thoughts or anything.

She was in a first yr arts unit at uwa. Granted you can be in a first yr arts unit any stage of your undergrad degree but still. If she was more into goth that does ring some bells as I ran into this girl multiple times and it was certainly always classical.

How many girls aren't into perth comm though and dress very well? This girl was legit a VERY good dresser, I would have befriended her more but the moment she said she was 'no longer' in perth comm I got weary.

I ... well. Anon, let's put it this way. Living anywhere, any state, if you're not in or near a city, your chances are slim at finding a community of any size.

I think the smallest cities that have lolitas listed in them in Missouri are in Columbia and Jeff City. Otherwise, you'll have to go to KC or St. Louis for meets. If you're going to be in a college town, your chances of finding a lolita are slightly higher, but not exactly huge (Rolla, Kirksville,Springfield, etc.).
