I'm sure everyone in this thread feels that way, I know that's how I feel too.

Now that the fashion has changed and so has the subculture, and most people have either moved on and the newer lolitas have never been exposed to the older style and culture, it's up to the few people who still hold it dear to keep it alive. Maybe someday more people will return to it and there will be a revival.

To me, Lolita will always be more than just clothes. I honestly think that for most lolitas it's more than just clothes, but they either don't act upon that or they tuck it away in the back of their dresser drawer to be forgotten.

I feel like I cant stop dreaming about the way Lolita used to be. I've been dreaming about since the day I discovered it and a day hasn't gone by without me having some sort of thought or daydream about it. Maybe since I never really did stop having all those romantic daydreams about lolita is why my nostalgia is so strong. Sometimes I wonder if I'm living too much in the past and need to get on with life, but the images and dreams are still so beautiful to me to this day that I can't stop and don't want to. I don't think there's anything wrong with it because the world needs more beautiful and happy thoughts, but the nostalgia makes me so sad.

Regarding your scepter comment, I know BABY used to release scepters as a collectible item way back when, so it's not a modern idea, but most people only carried them for photo shoots or parties and kept them as a collectable item otherwise. I don't know if they still do or not, but I've always sort of wanted one. I think they are cute and the ones I remember seeing were always very tasteful.
