/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

/cgl/,
I propose a game of good will.

I want you to go to whatever your favorite social networking site is and search through the lolita tag.

You're going to find somebody who is obviously new and/or unknown - who isn't ita - and just do something nice for them.

Lets spread some niceness and cheer up folks for the new year.

Can we have a new-to-lolita thread?

I have been pondering getting into the fashion. A lot of it is above my desired price range, though, and I'd much rather just make my own skirts and such since I come from a cosplay background and know how to sew.

Any tips for a potential incoming newbie? Things you wish you had known ahead of time?

What's the point of even being here anymore

I have a genuine question. Where did people get the idea that anyone can be a lolita? Who was saying that? Who made them this promise? It seems like people genuinely confused their tumblr hugbox with the real world of fashion. Fashion isn't just wearing whatever the fuck you want and not caring about how you look; or about slapping on the "right" clothes regardless of how they work on you; it is about putting together an entire, cohesive look, that works for you and makes you look good. It's very difficult for a fat, poor or ugly person to look fashionable at all, and you have to work at it, you don't just get to be fashionable because you want it.
