Lolita Lifestyle

[Anonymous No.7762065]

Lifestyle Lolita thread! How can I make my daily life a little more loli? What are some loli elements you have in your life now, and what do you wish to have? Inb4 autists sperg up the thread because we're too loli for them.

[Cry Moar No.7762068]

I'd really like to lolify my room but I wouldn't even know where to start. I have so much junk and clutter and no where to put it. Maybe when I own my own place someday I'll just deck everything out in frills.

I think flower tea is lolita as fuck. Picture related, cherry blossom tea. You can buy it on Amazon.

[Anonymous No.7762083]

>>7762068
Couldn't you sell the junk? On that note, my room was pretty ugly for a while. I grew out of the style it was in. I just started collecting porcelain/embroidered handkerchiefs/doilies, and decorated my room one shelf at a time. I arranged the porcelain in an aesthetically pleasing manner, using boxes to give some of them height, and covered the boxes with the handkerchiefs/doilies.

Condense and organize. Took me a ling time but man, it feels good.

I'm hoping to get moved into a bigger place where I have a room or at least enough space that I can go feminine and have a bit of a Halloween/gothic sewing room. I want it to have more feminine style furniture and accents, but not be super frilly.

Idk. I don't really like facebook anyhow. I wish we could start a forum, but I know it would die out fast. Maybe we could make a group on an existing forum? God, I wish livejournal was still around. It would have been perfect for this. Fuck tumblr, it's the cancer killing lolita.

I have a dream of creating a lifestyle lolita group which functions much like an 1800's secret society. Weird initiations, crazy rituals, ect.

Yes. Especially if there was some secret crest that you could pin to your headdress or blouse in outfit shots to signify your affiliation to other Frilluminates.

Not necessarily, there's ways to haze somebody over the internet.
> Having to take a timestamped picture of something embarrassing or crude (like going on Omegle in OTT sweet)
> Having to submit a secret to BTB insulting themselves or revealing drama
> Take a 100% serious outfit shot in the most ita coord they can put together and post it to COF or Tumblr
> Etc.
All timestamped images could be stored and used as blackmail if a member tried to reveal the existence of the Frilluminati to the ignorant masses.

I would consider myself a lifestyle lolita, but most of the activities I did before I got into lolita.
I drink tea nearly every day
I collect and red old etiquette books
I read and write for hobbies
I have many penpal and write with cute stationary.
I enjoy going to operas and plays.
I wear lolita out and tone down classic for work.

I don't advertise it since it's more of a 'this is how I am' not like I'm trying to 'live a lifestyle'

I don't know if I aspire to be a "lifestyle lolita" as I feel like it's been tainted by itas and noobs, but I do want to reach the point where I can wear lolita or otome every day. I love thelastcookieinthejar's most recent outfits for this reason.
I enjoy all of the basic bullshit (reading, cooking, crocheting, flower arranging, etc.) but probably spend too much time on the internet to be a "real" lifestyler. Also, I'm not sure when I'll ever settle down in one place long enough to actually lolify it.

You recalled incorrectly.
The Portuguese first arrived in the mid 16th century and were allowed for quite some time. The idea of Christian hell posed a problem for conversion, but it wasn't the reason they were kicked out. They were tolerated well enough under Nobunaga, but Hideyoshi, who came after, feared that Christianity and the recent converts were working to disrupt the social order.
Since his power/the power of the shogunate to follow was reliant on the status quo, they booted all of the foreigners and outlawed Christianity. Thus, the Dutch became practically the only Westerners allowed to interact with the Japanese for a few centuries, and even they were restricted to a small area.

God bless Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, saviors of the Japanese from the Christian devil.

Back to the topic at hand: does anyone do embroidery, esp. silk ribbon embroidery? It's something I would like to get into.

You should really browse /mu/ sometime. Their classical music threads pop up quite often and those people know their shit.

Emma, A Victorian Romance has a cute OST, and Kuricoder Pops Orchestra (and Chamber Quartet) makes a lot of cutesy music beyond their Azumanga Daioh OST. Yann Tiersen is kind of overrated, but I still like to think that he makes whimsical music that works well with the lolita aesthetic.

I'm trying to replace everyday items in my apartment with brand novelty items that I come upon. So far I have some adorable teacups(a surprising number of brands make these), a bowl and a deck of playing cards from AP. It's not much and it doesn't make a big impact on the look and feel of my apartment, but I feel just a little bit cuter drinking from a brand teacup than a regular boring one.

[Anonymous No.7763770]

I suggest Kaya, Ali Project, Yura Hatsuki and obligatory Malice Mizer and Moi Dix Mois if you are into gothic lolita. Also, lurk a lot doujin japanese music circles on youtube, you can find some good gems. Mainstream jpop isn't that good as indie jpop i think.

To me, it's really beautiful, especially in more melodic/soulful songs (as opposed to modern pop songs). I am a really big fan of Japanese blues, which I guess isn't really lolita.

I can't help myself, I'll reply to the bait:

White people were the most backwards ass motherfuckers until approx. the 1800s, which is when Europe's Industrial revolution happened and you see all these ingenious inventions and scientific advancements coming from white folks.

Before that? Europeans were so disgusting and idiotic. When some of the first European explorers came to Japan, the Japanese were absolutely disgusted by them and their refusal to bathe. The Japanese have been bathing daily for centuries, whereas not too long ago Europeans bathed a few times a year and thought bathing was bad for you.

The Moors and Ottomans were waaaay more advanced than Europans throughout most of history, too. Basically one of the best places in Europe to be during the Bubonic Plague was Spain, because it was mainly inhabited by the Moors. The Moorish people actually had real doctors to care for people, doctors that realized that washing their hands was necessary and that praying wasn't doing their patients any good.

That's just the tip of the ice berg. Don't talk out your ass bro. This is coming from a white chick who runs an anti-SJW blog, btw.

"Brute force"? Hahaha. Arabs and Africans were fucking barbarians. The whole reason they could afford to be polygamist is because they would go and raid other town, taking the women as slaves and killing the men. We were much less violent then them in terms of culture, we just have better technology. Instead of running around, hacking people into pieces, we could just pull a trigger and the deed is done. You two are acting as if Europeans were the only ones with desires of conquest. Other races had similar goals, we were just the ones who won and won. Arabs had a shit ton of slaves throughout history, and they took a long ass time to cut it out. Africans enslaved one another like no other, they just didn't have the intelligence or tools to conquer other nations.

I don't think you understand how population extinction works. It's not that we are overpopulated, but rather that niggers and muds are overpopulated. The population of apefreaka just keeps doubling and doubling. With each nigglet a sheboon shits out, each nigger becomes less and less significant. Niggers are like the pack mules of humanity. Nigger blood is cheap. Niggers can't figure out things like preserving food or resources. Lets see how they handle their population crisis. There are more whites in the world now then there ever have been in history, and we live a long time. Europe is overpopulated as well, and it's citizens are doing exactly as they should.

Nah not me personally. As a 'brown' girl who lives in a upper middle family in a well to do part of London (father is a doctor), I am probably in a much better position to be a lifestyle lolita than the person who posted this. I don't consider myself a lifestyle lolita, however some of the things I do might be considered so. I feel like alot of individuals aspire to lolita lifestyles as a form of escapism, imagining living like princess in an mansion, sipping tea from a porcelain cup with their pinky out. There's nothing inherently wrong this, with using your imagination to escape the drudgery of everyday life, with wanting beautiful things in your life to uplift your senses; I feel the person who posted >>7762165 is fairly delusional however, in more ways than one.

Beyond the lolita lifestyle as a whole, are there any practices which in your opinion pertain to certain branches of lolita (i.e. baking for sweet lolita, gardening for country lolita, I don't know I'm just making this shit up as I go along)?

It used to be all over the GLBs when I was just starting out, and really appealed to most western girls since real lolita clothing was so hard to get without actually flying over to Japan. Back then we had more girls who were "lolita at heart" than girls who actually wore the fashion. Now it's the opposite, with much of the online comm being casuals who wear lolita one day and some other tumblrcore fashion the next.
I honestly kind of miss the close-knit pretentious rori at heart community. It's probably more due to nostalgia than anything, but it really did feel like more of a community back then.

I came from gothic subculture where fashion is often associated with a lifestyle, so i tend to associate also lolita fashion with a lifestyle, depending also of your tastes because every lolita style can have differences in lifestyles, for example a gothic lolita will have a more gothic related lifestyle compared to someone who dress sweet who will have a preference for more cute and sweet things. But issue is i'm into cute and sweet things and also the spooky ones, infact i'm goth and dress in sweet lolita (black prints mostly) rather than gothic.

This. I actually enjoy antiquing(/thrifting), reading classic literature, knitting etc. and the fact that these interests compliment my style is just a bonus. I doubt anyone here is forcing themselves to drink tea just because it's so rori. I like the idea of a 'lolita lifestyle' community because it's a combination of all the things I like and an opportunity to discover even more enjoyable pastimes that match with my other interests and personality. Just look at all the music recommendations in this thread! It's even more fun knowing that these recommendations are coming from cute girls who like the same frilly dresses you do.

I don't think anyone should have to give up other hobbies just to fit in with the ~loli lifestyle~ (unless you really do suck dicks for fun because that ain't kawaii #tw: slut shaming).

Found a few whilst searching for something related. Here you go:
>In 'The Art of Beauty', Ovid suggests that young women suffering from breakouts do this:
>"Make haste and bake pale lupins and windy beans. Of these take six pounds each and grind the whole in the mill. Add thereto white lead and the scum of ruddy nitre and Illyrian iris, which must be kneaded by young and sturdy arms. And when they are duly bruised, an ounce should be the proper weight. If you add the glutinous matter wherewith the Halcyon cements its nest, you will have a certain cure for spots and pimples."
>So lead, scum from cave walls (aka nitre), and bird spit.

>Arsenic for bright skin and eyes. This one's been recycled a couple of times. Elizabethan women would put a mixture of arsenic, chalk, and vinegar on their faces to whiten their complexions, and in the Victorian era, arsenic eye drops were extremely popular for making eyes look large and bright. Of course, you couldn't see well after you used them, and they eventually caused blindness and poisoning.

>From the medieval period well into the 19th century, one of the most popular ways to attain perfectly pale skin was to use leeches. The blood loss would blanch women out for optimal whiteness. According to the 1834 Cyclopaedia of Practical Medicine, one could even keep things discreet with "frequent application of a few leeches to the anus."

I think its stupid to call yourself a lifestyle lolita. I don't consider myself a lifestyler, but many of the girls in my comm do because I love antiquing, knitting, sewing, playing piano, listening to classical and "kawaii" music, tea, and wear lolita on a daily basis.

Idk. Am I weird for thinking that? I don't consider myself a lifestyler because I've loved all that stuff before I ever knew that lolita existed. But of course I do have a few style inspirations who I'd consider a lifestyle lolita, though they don't call themselves that. For whatever reason, people who call themselves a lifestyler just put me off. Probably because the majority of them are noobs and weebs, itas and the socially inept. It's just ruined it for me.

Same for me. These are (warning, opinion ahead!) the guidelines I think are necessary to be a lifestyler:

>be a good lolita
learn the basics of what makes the fashion what it is, learn to coord well with all the bells and whistles like makeup and hair, outfits must actually be considered lolita, not just brand items or inspired by.
>do this regularly
self explanatory

When so many girls wear lolita about 4 times a year (and I still consider them lolitas), it kind of makes sense to have a word for the ones who just do it all the time. Be a lolita. All (or almost all) the time. Lifestyler.

Having seriously dealt with this sort of thing so often in my life, you would be surprised at the amount of people who genuinely think likr this.

Shakespeare probably wrote Othello after traveling to Africa amirite? No way there were "moors" in England at that time. Also this wildly popular 19th century actor who often portrayed him is probably just a guy in blackface.

Moors? You mean those Arabs? Because Arabs loved niggers.

Anyhow, black servants were very sought after at that time. They thought it was exotic, and used them to show off their wealth. They were practically slaves, though.

Shakespeare probably never traveled very far from his home island. A lot of his plays may take place in far parts of Europe and beyond, but many aspects have been exaggerated or dramatized as just part of the story.

Oh, speaking of New England, there's a bar in the Boston area that's totally Lolita friendly (in fact, that's the name of it). I'm sad to hear that the one in Connecticut and Miami Beach closed. I imagine it would be nice for a 21+ meet or even a lone lolita to feel comfortable drinking in.

Let me tell you something, if all of the horrible, disgusting, things white people have done to everyone else on this earth for power didn’t make me hate them, their response to people of color talking about racism fucking would, especially this kind of response. It’s not about you, it was never about you, it was because of you. I only talk about “white people” when I’m talking about the systematic oppression they’ve inflicted on everybody else.

And then, considering the fact that “white” is a construct created by white supremacy to give their kin privilege, money, and power- saying “I hate white people” is so much more about the disgusting system that created it than the actual human beings with white privilege themselves

Bruh, Denmark and Sweden are like immigration ports to Europe. It's not about that. There's racism here too, both Denmark, Finland and Sweden have racist parties with Nazi background in their governments. There's just also a strong opposition movement especially in Sweden.

Also, the fact that the situation in large parts of Europe is so reminiscent to pre-WWII is just all the more reason to oppose racism because even if you think it's some social justice bs we still don't want a goddamn third world war. Astounding that people don't realize this is happening because it's not that long ago.

Denmark has very strict regulations and take few immigrants compared to Sweden. I'd say Germany ad Swedentakes the most immigrants instead. The party is not as big in Sweden (although way too big), but the ones in for example Norway are currently ruling the contry together with another party...

Get your facts straight dude. Finland does have a "racist" party, but their background in politics is a party for rural areas (Suomen Maaseudun Puolue), not Nazis or neo-Nazis. Also they are not part of the Finnish government, they just have seats in the parliament.

[Anonymous No.7788502]

There's a ('000) next to the year 2009, meaning all the numbers are in thousands. So 0.1 on the diagram actually means 0.1 x 1,000 = 100 refugees.

I'm pretty sure they rounded up and averaged out the figures as well, there were probably either 97 refugees or 102 refugees and two babies or something like that.
