61. “There are rules in
wearing Lolita”, how true is this statement to you? To what extent?
It’s true… ish. There are
rules, but once you’ve got the hang of the style then I say feel free to bend
or break a few.
62. Are you a crafty Lolita
(Do you make your own accessories and/or pioneer your coords)?
Oh, heck yes! Apart from altering garments to suit my shape,
I’ve made most of my own hair accessories and intend to start making clothing
once my mother lets me use her serger.
63. Do you believe that there
is an age limit to Lolita?
No, but I believe that
everyone should consider both what is flattering and what makes them happy.
64. Finish this thought:
Whatever you do, never…
Act with cruelty.
Constructive criticism is one thing, but being a bully is another.
65. Is there an ideal image
of what you feel a Lolita should be or that you aspire to be?
For me, I aspire to be the sort of person who is happy in
what I’m wearing, generally put together, and kind enough that my clothing
doesn’t matter as much as my personality.
66. What is your opinion of
Brolitas?
Same as everybody else in the
fashion: glad to meet you.
67. Has Lolita changed your
life? If so, how?
Yes and no. Lolita has given me the confidence I needed in a lot of
situations and allowed me to reclaim a few things I had lost over the years. I
wholeheartedly believe that I would have gotten there eventually. Lolita just
got me there faster.
68. What has been your
friends and family’s general reaction to Lolita? How have you responded?
Positive, generally. I have
only received one “You do know that’s a sex thing…” comment, which was just a
terminology thing and was quickly shrugged off once I mentioned that there’s
cultural and language differences that come into play in international fashion. Otherwise, everyone
has been positive.
69. Does weather tend to
affect you, while in Lolita?
Somewhat. Most of my clothes
are either solid-colored or Bodyline, so running isn’t really an issue. Also, I
have a massive umbrella collection that I must tell you about someday, so I’ve
got a brolly to match almost every outfit.
70. Have you gone to school
or work in Lolita?
Yes. I haven’t been to my
current job in Lolita, but I’m working up to it.
71. Your top 5 Brands/and or
Off-Brands?
- Mary Magdalene
- Juliette et Justine
- Megan Maude
- Krad Lanrete
- Eat Me Ink Me
72. Do you tend to wear more
Jumperskirts or One Piece Dresses? Do you have a preference?
I wear more JSKs because I
haven’t found many OPs that fit over my bust. That problem should go away when
I get around to making my own clothes, since I’ve got a few great patterns for OPs
ready and waiting. For summer, I really do prefer OPs because of simplicity and decreased layering.
73. Have you ever used a
shopping service?
Nope.
74. Do you tend to look at
the Japanese or English/Overseas Sites?
It depends on whether they
HAVE an English site. I do check prices in Yen/USD and examine the conversion
rate, though.
75. Is there a pair of
print OTK or UTK that you really want or love owning?
Nope. I’ve got chunky legs
and they tend to distort prints, so I stick to patterned tights.
76. Do you enjoy or dislike
prints in Lolita?
I like subtler prints. Some prints are too busy for my
taste.
77. Do you have a coord
you’re most proud of?
Nope. I’m always working to
create better coords, so I don’t bother being “most proud” of any of them. I’m
either proud or not proud, and I work from there.
78. Are you a savvy shopper?
(Meaning, do you tend to wait for sales, find discounts and/or look to Etsy
shops or non-lolita items to finish coords and cut costs?)
Oh, yes.
Thrift stores, vintage anything, handmade… honestly, if I like it and it’s
inexpensive, I don’t care if it’s not brand.
79. Do most of your coords
turn out the way you initially intended?
Because I don’t dress for
events most of the time, I don’t usually “intend.” I just sort of throw
together what looks good and makes me happy at the time.
80. Do find yourself
preferring one type of accessory over another? (Headdresses, Jewelry, Bags,
etc.)
Hair accessories and
hats are a huge thing for me. I
also love brooches.
