>Would you ever use the word "loliable" around other lolita? How is the way you make conversation at meetups different than the ways you make conversation with your normie?

Yeah, I have no issue using common lolita terms with other people into lolita. I don't talk about the fashion to normies really, even my non-lolita friends are familiar with the popular brands and common terms through me/other friends.

>Do you have a favorite era of lolita fashion?

2010 era OTT pastel vomit sweet

A couple things killed OTT Sweet

>People grew out of it/got bored with it
Sae and her friends were the OTT sweet lolita idols of many, and when she stopped posting so much, that signaled an end to the style

>It became overtaken by newbies
Because OTT is so noticable and flashy, it brought a ton of new people into the fashion, who were young, and weebish, who could only afford replicas and shitty GLW twintail wigs. They cheapened the look. There was a time when everyones first coordinate was a pink and lavender twintail wig and a Bodyline carousel dress.

>Replicas
When prints were immediately replicated the moment they came out, that made them lose the prestige they once had.

>GLW and efame
Gothic Lolita Wigs had their "muse" contests, and when the Lolita community migrated from Livejournal to Tumblr and Facebook everyone was a lot more concerned with being internet famous and promoting themselves.

We probably won't see OTT Sweet as it was in 2009 come back. Angelic Pretty just doesn't make prints like that anymore (does Maki even make prints anymore? Her work ended up being the staples of OTT), and it seems like the Larme and toned down trend is affecting all j-fashions and not just Lolita. We might see a small revival, but it will look different than it did back then.
