Can we have a lolita in public thread?

Feel free to post personal stories, pictures of lolitas out in public, normie reactions to the fashion, tips to deal with those, etc.

>> No.9663933

I hate to start this thread off on a sour note but this has always perplexed me about these threads: why are people okay posting these photos when they hate it when strangers do the same to them? I'm not talking about photos taken at meets or at conventions, but candid shots taken by strangers.

I think a lot of the really good lolita in public "candids" are taken by someone in the group. Another lolita or a boyfriend.

Otherwise they'd be a lot harder to find and shittier quality, normies don't usually bother to post their iphone creepshots publicly with nice editing and lighting.

Also once they exist we can't stop them from existing. So we might as well get some use out of them ourselves.

I do understand what you mean and I kinda agree with you. But those are usually flattering/nice pictures that weren't taken with a cellphone camera so that's a plus.
I'm sure I probably look like shito on 99% of candids where you can see my face or when it's a humid day (puffy hair). Makes me sad.

Also some of these like pic related were very probably taken by a friend

I saw a lady at the grocery store in old school a while back and really wanted to get a picture of her but I feel bad taking pictures of strangers and couldn't bring myself to ask her. She was wearing an old meta jsk with a weird bow design on the bodice and a white blouse. I almost took a picture of her but she turned and looked at me and I immediately dropped my phone to the side. I hate when random strangers take pictures of me so I dunno...

I saw a person in lolita attire for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was waiting for the train and then she walked out. She seemed not very confident because she kept looking at the ground, giving people nasty looks and shit. Not very lolita-like. She was an ita btw I think, colors didn’t match and she wore sneakers.

I've had a handful of online friends for a few years now. A few months ago I met them in a major city in full gothic lolita, veil and all. The first minute out of my B&B a bird shit on me. I'm not joking. A fucking bird shit on my OP. I ran back to my room and washed that shit so thoroughly there was no trace of it, let it air dry, was running half an hour late. Rushed to the train station. Some girl in punk clothing high-fived me when we were both crossing a cross-walk and screamed "wrist-cuffs, FUCK YEAH"

On the train, the ticket lady gave me some trouble but I gave her my pass and made some small talk. By the time we got to my destination she was all smiles and asked to take a picture with me.

Took one more train to get to the museum- there was another lolita on board. I don't want to sound judgmental but her hair was very limp and she was wearing striped stockings- but she was very, very nice. We talked for a minute about our coords and parted ways.

Once I met up with my friends they were extremely surprised that I came in a full coord but were delighted and the rest of the day was beautiful. We went to a beautiful art gallery, had a fancy lunch, visited the local art district and finished the evening by the beach.

I've had a lot of excellent experiences in lolita. The ONLY awkward moments I've had were on buses where normies asked for my picture for the obvious novelty, and I didn't give any fucks and humored them.

I don't understand lolitas who are offended by people being amused or find their way of dressing novel. It's unusual, it's fun, there's nothing wrong with people giving you extra attention or whatever. I really love wearing gothic lolita and getting the chance to wear it in a socially acceptable setting is just wonderful.

Supposedly that's where they carry their regular clothes that they changed out of when they arrived to their destination (Harajuku, Shinjuku, etc.). Seems that Japanese girls don't often travel in their frills, especially if they don't live in Tokyo.

I've been wondering this for a while now, how come we don't have more recent pictures of lolitas in the wild? Is it because a lot of them are restricted to comm access?

Just strikes me as strange because cameraphones are more advanced than ever, but these images seem to stop somewhere between 2011-2013.

desire for perfection

some of the ones in this thread seem legitimately candid but a lot of them appear to be "plandids." i think people seem to be really concerned with their angles and taking the ultra posed CoF style coord shot nowadays. it's representative of a change in our "culture"--staged perfection being revered over candids with minor flaws. also with lolita's massive online presence i just think more people are focused on selfies and taking coord shots of each other for CoF and Insta.

>> No.9670655

It’s rude to take pics without asking and most pics are staged now. Some normie might sneak one but you aren’t going to find that. It also is no longer a trendy thing to do? Like shoe pics used to be the thing but don’t happen now. I rarely if ever do a group shot at a meet. It’s unlikely that someone will be the type to take candids that will be widely posted. Most are kept between the fb group or friends.

usually the charcoal lessons were short. i went to one of those schools with 8 classes split up over 6 hours, so i usually brought an apron with me for messy classes and decided it was worth the risk to be able to be pretty the rest of the day. most of the art accidents that happened to my clothes were other people spilling things on my chair that i couldnt control but it all washes in the end

my bus into work this morning was pretty full by the time it got to my stop so it was standing room only...my skirt was hitting about 6 people at once at all times but they seemed pleasant or else neutral about it. I apologized and felt bad but people know the deal in the mornings and it was okay. I quickly got a seat once the majority got off at the college nearby.

Maximum poof is my favorite lolita mode, but public transport makes it tough.

Depends on what time the thing is I'm going to. Most meets aren't that early in the day. I don't work super early and rarely wear Lolita to work cause its kind of a waste in my opinion but sometimes I do and I usually head out an hour early to where ever I'm going.
