Confess all your sins (including those about never washing your brand).

>> No.9948310

about 75% of the reason i like wearing lolita to conventions is that no one stops me every ten feet to ask me what the occasion is, what i'm all dressed up for, or what "all THIS" [rapid hand gestures towards me] "is all about!!!" i get to be as close to invisible as possible while still dressing the way i want.

obviously it doesn't bother me to the extent that i would stop wearing lolita completely, but in a perfect world i'd be able to wear lolita out and about whenever i wanted and get treated the same as i do when i'm wearing a sweatshirt

>> No.9948315

>>9948310
Although I don’t go to cons I totally feel ya about wishing people would just treat you the same. I mean yes I’m aware it’s an odd looking fashion and people gonna stare but there is definitely some irony in that many Lolita’s including myself just wish that people would not notice you.

I hate going to meets. It's always the same people who are pretending to be nice to me and probably shit talk behind my back. Too bad I'm so antisocial it's my only social contact and I have to go sometimes to keep my bf off my back. I wish I had a lolita friend I could do nice things with without the hassle of always being the one organizing a meet up. Probably why everybody tolerates my autistic ass at all. I just want to go and do something in lolita, be there for a friend or something and share lolita stuff with someone. I want so badly to have someone I could make sandwiches and scones and give occasional gifts. My comm only wants me when I bring my sandwiches to picnic because it's the best they will have.

If you get it wet and it bleeds you just have to go all in and keep rincing it in cold until the water runs mostly clear, then soak with color catchers/detergent. Get as much dye out as you can then put it through the wash on a cold delicate cycle to get rid of the rest.

There is so much wrong with this comment I don't even know where to start desu.

Part of me wants to tell you that people probably talk less behind your back than you think, and it's all your anxiety, and you can probably be better friends with those girls if you tried more.

The other part of me wants to tell you that it's a self fulfilling prophecy. I guarantee your negativity shows when you suspect them of not liking you and talking behind your back. Also I really doubt anyone really gives that much of a shit about your sandwiches?? You clearly seem to think you are better than them so I really root for them to not tolerate you at the same time.

If you really want some good lolita friends you should first get rid of the negativity towards others within yourself. If you are genuine you will make at least one good friend, but trust me people notice your inner salt irl.

I was just being dramatic for the sake of retorics. I know the fault is in me, as I said, I'm antisocial and super shut in afterall. I have made few friends with members of the comm who are not so regular at meets but I can't see them because... I just can't keep up a decent conversation.I don't know what to say and I always end up saying something silly - not insulting though. And yes I have some sort of anxiety disorder. My comm also used to have lots of drama and one of the most regular girl at the meets hates someone I'm good terms with and constantly tries to pick drama and shit. She is actually the reason why not that many goes to meets nowadays and while I haven't had anything majorly bad happen with her I still dislike the current environment a lot. It's like fake positivity and I'm tired of her constantly trying to bring the shit up especially she knows I don't feel the same about the people she hates. Everyone is also super low-effort and while I would love to bake and cook for someone I don't want to do it for people who would never contribute at all in any form. I don't think my sandwiches are that spectacular lol.

It's terrifying to do, but I've had success with it. I experimented a bit after a ten year old Meta piece I got unexpectedly bled when I was testing out washing methods on a waist tie (like i get the dress was really saturated pink in places but god damn it was ten years old). Color bled everywhere and I tried to blot out the water but the dye continued to bleed into the white parts as it dried. At first I tried to clean it with as little water as possible but it just made it worse.

Finally figured it was already damaged so I had nothing to lose. Turned on my bath faucet and went to town. After some rinsing, soaking, and soap it doesnt seem to have any issues.

Of course you want to test things like this out on a waist tie or bow before you tackle a full dress (and understand that a full dress will look really scary). Soap and color catcher sheets during the soaking help keep removed dye from re-adhearing to the fabric, and cold water keeps things from becoming heat set in. Admittedly I've never tried it on AP though.

The trick is patience and not panicking, and just going all in.

Not to defend any girl who does this, I do think it's disgusting - But I don't think it's a hygiene thing as it is people being overly concerned that their lolita clothes will supposedly disintegrate if washed.
There's a misconception going around that all lolita clothes must always be dry cleaned, no exceptions, and newbies that fall for it usually can't afford dry cleaning and either don't bother doing research to see that it's wrong or are too afraid to just try washing their damn clothes and see that they won't fall apart in the wash.

It also has a factor for its cost. The clothes are not cheap and made of materials that are mostly higher quality. Most people associate high price tag with high matanance to clean. But really, all it takes is to not be a gorilla in the laundry room and a understanding that if it runs it isn’t impossible to fix.

Oxyclean or tide sticks. Steam, rub that on there and let it sit. Personally when I do a large load of whites I'll take a bucket and let all of them soak in oxyclean and a little bit of baking soda. If it's a set in stain I usually will use a baking soda and soap mix and apply directly to the stain. But this is not good for velvet or more delicate fabrics of course, and make sure your dress doesn't run before you decide to put it in the wash (if you choose to do that). Always use cold water and use gentle cycles. This is the way my grandma taught me to clean my stuff out and I have clothes I've had since early high school and I'm 21 now

You really haven’t been in the fashion that long have you? There’s been several confirmed stories about unwashed clothes being shipped to buyers.

That's not a bad thing though. Disclosing damage and pricing the piece accordingly is a good thing, this way the buyer knows that the garment is damaged and knows to expect it when they buy it, and buyers who don't want damaged pieces know to avoid it.

This is really depressing, I try to list my stuff as accurately as possible, down to whatever pin-prick damage I find on it, and I accurately list how many times I've worn a dress including merely trying it on, only to read that I'm lumped into the same mess as other sellers outright lying about actual stains and damage on their dresses.

Does explain why buyers seem to completely overlook some stuff, like when I say I've never even tried on a dress and they still request a worn photo of it anyhow.

Oh yeah I wasn't saying it was a bad thing how they handle it generally, but I was pointing out that Japanese girls don't wash their shit either in some cases. It's still gross but easier to handle since you're expecting it.

I did get a skirt from a secondhand shop once that was basically just listed as 'secondhand goods, slight wear' that turned the water all kinds of gross when I tried to wash it. That sucked.

My confession is that I don't understand why people think that saying that Misako (or any other model or efamous lolita for that matter) is "plain", is a bad thing. For the record I do think she's cute, I know not everyone agrees and that's fine, but personally I find "plain" models even better for lolita than naturally gorgeous ones. It's one of the things that make the fashion feel more "real" and accessible, like you don't have to be stunning or seem perfect in every way to look good in it.

Regardless of washing vs dry cleaning, lot of dresses are really delicate and not designed to be overly cleaned like day to day pieces. The more you clean them, the quicker they wear down.

One thing to keep in mind about cleaning dresses is: what kind of dress is it?

OPs should be washed regularly, but JSKs, salos, and skirts don't touch direct skin. So unless you are sitting on public surfaces, sweat through your blouse, or spill, you only really need to wash your dress once every blue moon. Also if you don't wear your dresses often, they rarely need to be washed. Airing out is fine.

I am now curious how often Japanese lolitas/designers clean their dresses.

I agree jsks and skirts don't need to be washed as always as other garments but you do realise even if you don't go out or even wear the dress there is still going to be dust and dirt which the dress will eventually absorb? But otherwised agreed, people should think more how to wear and care and if they are up to do the maintenance the piece requires.

I think it's a really strange jealousy thing or something. I often see comments about her looking old. I think it's the natural cycle in the community/online. Someone is liked, they become popular, they become waaaay too popular, they become more disliked. You can see this cycle happen with a lot of regular lolitas that either post a lot or are YouTubers.

For example Ophelia. She just casually amassed this huge old school wardrobe and coords it incredibly well. People were very impressed with her dedication and praised her but as she got more notoriety I started seeing negative comments about her.

You severely underestimate the amount of grime in this realm of existence. No, skirts and JSKs don't need to be fully cleaned every time, but they probably should be cleaned every other wear or so if you are wearing them for more than a couple minutes in your room. And honestly most of what you're washing out is excess dye the fibers can't hold, and in theory the manufacturer should have removed before it even went to stores.

All that being said I'll take a slight loss of saturation for dresses that I can wear without being terrified of rain or spilling water on.

Growing up, at the start of the school year, my mom always would have me buy 5-7 pairs of jeans/shorts/other pants to wear every day of the week. At the end of the day, they had to be washed. Inevitably I ended up with some jeans I really liked and some I hated, but had to wear the hated ones anyway because the good ones went into the wash after 1 day.
When I was in high school, I went to a private school where everyone lived in dorms like college and I had to do my own laundry etc.I was talking to some other girls about having to wash jeans and they were surprised and said that jeans didn't have to be washed every day, in fact they shouldn't be and that no one else did.
This shook my world. I called my mom and she informed me that she knew the whole time and just didn't tell me so I would wash my things.

Now, it's a guilty pleasure of my to re-wear jeans. However I do wash my lolita dresses. I actually like doing it, it makes me feel good that I'm taking care of my things.

But overly motivated street preachers always find ways to bother anyways.

Maybe a few photos (bit of topic rant of all these people caring so much about photos incomming), but that only happens on big cities and I only go there for meets. Lot of people are rude there anyways. Beside, I stopped caring. Wanna make a picture of me randomly walking the street while you know it's rude to do so? Ok, I have better things to worry about than random person and it's public space. Beside, most are only to show friends what "funny weird person" they saw. You know how many people think and laugh with friends just by seeing you? You're in public. People judge. Get over it or become a normfag. Just don't make it my fucking problem by bothering me or doing anything that makes it unignorable.

I'll never get the people are so bothersome I won't wear it thing, simply because I can't relate and have no clue how they meet so much bothersome people. Not saying that what they say is invalid.

Kinda agree. Having to plan sex to only be in pj and morning sounds boring and planned. Besides, what's so hard about getting rid of your clothes beforehand? Besides getting dirty, some more rough sex might rip a dress that's delicate. And getting them off can be nice part of foreplay. And who wants to fuck in pj anyways, it's generally not sexy (unless you buy sexy ones on purpose, but you sound too little caring for that. Not having any spontaneous feelings of hornyness with your bf sound like you do it because it's normal/expected).

Can't agree on the shower part tho. It's clunky and bad place to go wild. Little grip because it's wet, so you always need to be able to hold yourself on to something or risk falling, which during sex can be rather... unpleasant... That part made you sound like you never tried it and only watched the romantisized version of it.

not sure where you live; i'm in the american southeast (the bible belt, no fashion sense) and you get approached constantly. it's not negative attention but it's a lot of attention. i doubt many lolitas care about stares or esoteric "judgment," but it's the interaction piece that many find bothersome. you can only answer the barrage of the same questions at the peak of politeness so many times in a day. obviously it's not so offputting that i would leave the fashion, but our love for the fashion doesn't erase cumbersome experiences that come with it (see also: customs fees)

You lot must be pretty young or something. Taobao itself was born in 2003 and didn't really become accessible until recently (maybe three or five years ago you could start doing the direct order forwarder thing).

Lolita is from freaking 1970, 1980s. At some point before 2000 you can be pretty sure some dude had the idea to do lolita porn because rule 34 works irl too.

Spotclean is for when a clean garment got something spilled on it so literally only a small spot became dirty. Sweat and other things regar wear causes gets everywhere, it's just the worst at the visible places. Wash the whole garment or you're still gross.

Where I life shower benches are only for people with physical problems and can't stand that long. You generally have shower cabin or just open room if not a bathtub. In fact, bathtub is luxury here.

And no matter the tile. If filled with water it's hard to have good sex without sitting down because it'll be slippery. It's not made for that, so you either need to stay careful/calm or go somewhere less slippery.

Don't watch only cheap/free shit if all you see is cheap garments (unless you don't mind). There are gems in free porn, don't take me wrong, but there is always a market for expansive quality. As long as there are people who want best money can buy, it will be made. So there will be options with expansive dresses people would love to own themselves as well. Most don't care, so cheap stuff is more common. But even people with class watch porn and they might want the woman to look like she has class too.

Not to encourage doing the right thing, but just a heads up: LM mods don't always help removing bullshit feedback. I've had a situation where I left negative feedback for a seller after waiting for a dress for 2 (!) months, she left me neutral feedback straight up lying, claiming she had sent me the tracking number (she hadn't) and she was communicating with me about it (she wasn't). I tried disputing this feedback twice, with screenshots and detailed explanations, and the mods didn't do shit.
I tried bringing this up in the General thread on here months ago to warn people and see if anything similar has ever happened to them, and got no reaction. So just be aware that retaliation might happen and if/when it does, you're on your own.

if I enjoy shower sex then why are you soo upset that I find it fun and enjoying it? Because you have had bad experiences? Because you havnt found out how to enjoy it? Not everyone likes the same kind of sex. Some people enjoy plain vanilla missionary sex and some like a little danger or risk.

It's not about being comfortable tho. She literally said she would only do it if she wears pj and in the morning when just waking up because she doesn't want to have sexs in other clothes. This was related to a "how do people have sex in brand" topic.

So she kinda plans morning sex, and if she's horny but too much clothes, or bf horny and she's in a state it could make her horny too she will just dismiss. Because she doesn't wear pj's.

Sorry, that does sound like it needs to be planned, or otherwise it's like a good luck, hope I wear the right clothes else i won't do it no matter how I feel. Sounds really stupid.

It's more the bullshit you talk sounding like you never tried to get a dick in you while being in the shower, and you act like buying a handle needs a sex shop.

Dobt worry, I'll do a lot more than plain vanilla missionary sex. But you just say a lot of things that sound like you have no real experience but try to make it sound like you do very desperate. Altrough maybe it's like >>9950480 said. It's because you indeed don't have the experience. Sorry, the whole world isn't lesbian. And no, there isn't anything wrong with that.

I wouldn't say it's all lolicon. There is that one JAV where a fairly good looking young guy flirts with a lolita wearing a cute pink coat from MAM on the street. He takes her home, uses a vibrator to get her off, and then they have extremely boring sex. They then take a shower together where they're both laughing and spraying each other with the water. It's weirdly heartwarming and doesn't have any pedo vibes. I wish I still had screenshots to prove it was real, but there was a secret about it way back in the day.

He's few cm longer than me. Hard to do still.

It's not that I'm saying no one is into that. There is a fetish for everything. But you saying it's the best thing in the world is kinda stupid.

The lying is on that it sounds like you have no experience and try to act like you know it all. Not on the fact someone might have a fetish for it.

You still sound like you try to talk yourself out of it. You sound even more so in every comment. That is my problem with you. I don't give a fuck what you do in bed or any other place that doesn't involve me. But you started talking like fucking in the shower is the best thing in the world in general and like there are more pro's than cons, when for most people, there isn't. When I disagreed and told you it's not like that for most people, you get all butthurt and try to talk yourself out of it by talking about handicapped tools to gain more support, the fact you do lesbian sex (then when someone says that's simply not the same as man-woman sex you also did that), the fact some people might come of on it.

Like that was not the point. The point is that for most people, it's not the best thing in the world. Two different people have already agreed it's not the best thing for them either, no one came in saying it's so great. Fine if you like it, but don't act like it's factually amazing then get mad when it's not. Even if you did mean it's great for you, you did sound like you meant it's great in general which made you kinda sound unexperienced in it and are making up stuff (like let's be honest, happens regularly on 4chan) and you did start a huge fit when I told you it's not great for most. You could have just said you meant it's great to you instead of trying to convince others it's great until it's suddenly only about some people liking it...

I wear, and think everyone should wear, clothing that *fits* them, but I think in lolita the idea of "flattering" is such bullshit. Lolita makes everyone look bigger than they are regardless, so I don't get why people give concrit like "that style of dress isn't flattering on your body type" or "those white tights aren't flattering; darker tights would make your legs look longer and thinner"

I'm on the smaller side of average so maybe my opinion is moot, but I give no shits about looking "thinner" in lolita or traditionally "flattering" outside of having clothing that fits me properly. Something cuts me off at a weird angle that makes me look a little wider? Tough shit. Fit and color balance are way more important than looking as skinny as possible in this fashion.

I think I fucked the boyfriend of a girl in my comm while they've been together. I don't know the timeline of their relationship but he and I hooked up a few months back.

She goes on about how happy they are together but every time I see her I'm not sure if I should say something or not. The guy didn't say he was seeing anyone at the time, but that makes it worse IMO.

Honestly, I think personal attitude is more important than if you're with a guy or not. If you're being or feeling vulnerable people notice. If you aren't they also notice.

When I wash younger I got yelled at for wearing alternative fashion a lot until I had to quit for a while. Nowadays not anymore, as I got harder and less caring myself. It never mattered who I was with, beside when you're already weak and walk with someone who looks strong enough to protect both.

Sorry, but you're so wrong I'm thinking you're a fat ita trying to talk themselves right.

Lolita that fits well doesn't make you look bigger than you are. It makes you look the way you are, possibly even smaller, just like any clothes. There is a big visible difference between big clothes and big body. Lolita clothes look big, but they don't make you look fat unless you dress bad. If any lolita items makes you look fat, you either are more fat than you realise and finally see it wearing something else than what you usually wear, or you someone managed to wear only very bad shapes for your body.

Grew up in a household with smoking parents. I was selling a BL skirt to a girl once and I was so careful trying to get any trace of smoke smell out. I washed it, immediately air-dried it outside, and barely even brought it back in before sending it.

Seller still smelled smoke off it. I felt awful, gave her a partial refund to cover cleaning costs. Never took the risk of selling something again until I moved out.

So glad I live in a smoke-free home now. One girl in my comm smokes occasionally at meets if we're walking more than a minute or two somewhere and it's the most awkward thing.

I know zenmarket exists but still use buyee for small items and SS like tenshi for bigger ones because that's what I've been used to for years.

My stupidity finally bit me in the ass when I screwed up my default address and accidentally sent a pair of IW socks and a headdress to somewhere I used to live 6 months ago. It obviously wasn't buyee's fault but it kinda serves me right for still using their mediocre service even though better options are available.

Not necessarily, on some girls it does look cute and doesn't make them look pregnant at all. This cut exists in normie fashion too btw, it's just less common, and if it makes you look pregnant or fat then you definitely shouldn't wear it.

In my experience, lolita actually makes me look thinner than I am; explain that.

I have to confess I probably don't wash mine enough, normally I just spot wash the waistband when I do. In warm months I do it after a couple of wears especially if it's come into contact with my skin under an op, but winter probably only after a few months because it's always over other layers.

And a few days ago I told a friend a dress that was empire like this made her look fat (she isn't fat but the dresses added 20kg in looks. And yes, she asked on my opinion about if it made her look fat or not). She agreed and decided it wasn't for her. Contrary, even between empire waisted dresses there are differences. This one made her look huge. But some other empire waisted dresses look super cute on her.

Like >>9952471 said it doesn't always make you look fat. If you can look cute in it, go for it. The fact it often does make people look fat means that if you wear it without looking fat, that makes it kinda do the counter. Like, if you know you look fat in a dress while on normal weight and someone else does the opposite, then she must be very thin.

Beside, I don't ask you to wear something you look your best in, I ask you wear something that atleast doesn't make you look bad. People tend to complain about stuff not being flattering, not about stuff that looks cute but could be more flattering. It's kinda like, dress well enough to not make yourself look worse then you are, which is achieved by getting something that flatters your body more than the current garment does.

In normies clothes it's the same. If you look good no one complains about more flattering clothes. But if you look bad, they will if they're honest with you. It's no different to me than in any other fashion.

Did you miss the BTSSB knock offs from the exact same factory as the real ones? It literally was sewn the same and used the same materials, just not ordered by BTSSB and sold trough a backdoor (for much cheaper) by the factory without BTSSB knowing nor getting any money out of it. I'll look up the photos in a moment.

I guess that's what you get if you go for cheaper factories in cheaper countries tho. Doesn't justify it, but it is kinda BTSSB their own fault imho.

That doesn’t say the lace, buttons, tags, and general construction is the same making it virtually undetectable as a replica. No replica producer will go to that level to replicate a print. Not just that, but there is no replicas of CDC out there with the “ matching fabric”. You’re insinuating that drama anon is the only one with this exact replica of a dress when there are absolutely no known exact replicas out there. It’s very highly unlikely that there is such a flawless replica out there of CDC that can go that much undetected by the original owner. You own a dress and you know the wear and tear on it by sheer feel. Prints don’t line up exactly from dress to dress and even more sore from authentic to replica. If a authentic was swapped out with a replica, even with the same fabric, it wouldn’t be undetected by the owner. Anon is blowing smoke on the board to incite drama.

It was tho. That was the point. The official factory of BTSSB simply made more than BTSSB ordered and then sold them their selves. They had the patterns, print, and everything given as they where the official factory in the first place.

>Not just that, but there is no replicas of CDC out there with the “ matching fabric”.
I wasn't replying to that, just to the general statement that replica always means lower quality. I never talked about CDC specific.

>Anon is blowing smoke on the board to incite drama.
I highly agree. But then again, I was only replying on the point of
>No replica is flawless enough to look like the real thing and not get noticed at first touch or sight.
>The lace is never the same and the fabrics always feel different. Not to mention the colors saturation is always off.

It's rare, but I just wanted to point out that there have been replica's that are exactly the same as the real deal, as the factory basically screwed the brand over. It's more a common towards the general superstition that replica's always mean lower quality. I think replica's are bad, and no one should buy them. But I think it's only good to know that there are replica's like those factory replica's I talked about, because only if you know about it you can try to avoid it. Else people be like "it's the same quality so it must be the real deal. Replica's are always lower quality after all".

>>9952648
Not gonna ask you to believe me. Do with what I say as you will. It's good to be skeptic with anything on the internet. I'm the one who can't find back the pictures to prove it even when I saw them anyways.

But I know tags are easy to manipulate like that and I've seen it happen. If you believe it or not honestly doesn't affect my life. Take the knowledge however you wish, maybe one day I or someone else finds pictures back to proof it.

>> No.9952657

Beside, Chinese and other (cheap) countries have done factory replica's before. It's not a brand new concept. Generally, what happens is they make more than ordered, and either write the rest of as "not up to quality standards" which means it has to be destroyed, and instead of destroying they just sell it themselves without paying the actual brand.

Another version is where they sell the actual "not up to quality standard" items, in which case it's often marketed as a factory replica in hope to make people believe it's the first case by noting it's from the same factory, not telling it failed quality check.

The BTSSB replica in question seemed to be from the first type. Like I said, there had been comparison pictures and everything on Weibo, but I can't find them back. You don't have to believe me on this case. But do know that both factory replicas as well as cheating on the "made in" tag by making most of the garment in a cheaper (often worse) place and then do the last bit in a place that has higher standards to fool people into thinking the whole item must be made from there are reasonably common practices, and not only in clothing industry, but in anything.

Just a quick note to say that this is an actual sales tactic for high end brand bags -- the sellers have figured out people are more likely to buy factory surplus "grey goods" without the brand label rather than "cheap replicas"

So they just outright lie and say they got their stuff from a factory worker who swiped them off the production line, but can't prove it in any way because the worker will get in trouble. When in reality they just straight up sell you a replica and then explain the low quality, cheap material, shoddy workmanship as "this didn't pass QC, so of course there are some issues" followed by "you bought it knowing there's quality issues, so there's no refunds".

Not to say it say it hasn't happened, but I believe it's much rarer now after AP has had Dream Sky replicas hit the market before they even released it, so you can pretty much bet they're certainly taking steps to make sure their next factories don't pull this shit.

Just to explain all of this, if someone comes to you with this story of knowing a factory worker swiping dresses from the production lines, be very skeptical. It's far more likely to be outright BS to get you to hand over money for a regular ole cheapskate replica.

It depends of your bodyshape really. Babydoll dresses look good on slim androgynous figures. Even if you are skinny, but have an hourglass shape, it's probably not the best cut for you.

Do you wanna follow katakana pronunciation or French one? Because "katakana say it differently" then trying to spell French with English sounds is kinda countering your argument imho.

I'm near certain it should be pronounced French tho. They generally write it in alphabet themselves too. Undoubtedly katakana version you've seen is just trying to write as close as possible so people without knowledge of alfabet can still somewhat pronounce it, not literal pronunciation. Many European words get quite bad in katakana. Just take a look into Japanese books to teach English. You're also gonna say di-purri instead of deeply? Even worse in Germanic languages, we're it's very normal to have many consonants attached to each other (and pronounced like that).

Lolita is making me feel worse and worse about my body. I fit into everything but I'm muscular for a woman and I know it looks bad. Arm muscles especially look like flab unless you're actively engaging them. I've been into lolita for three years and it was all fine until I made an Instagram. After seeing the girls there I stopped lifting and have been eating under 1400 calories a day but it's been a month and I feel disgusting.

You don't understand how the body works. Your body wants to burn fat first, your muscle is not something your body wants to sacrifice into energy because doing this is bad for survival.

Nope. You need muscle to work, to get your next meal. If your body or any animal did this none of them would survive tougher times. Ever. Every single animal, creature ect, is built to endure times of no food, your body EXPECTS you to go through periods without food. In fact, when in ketosis, your body will function better than average because your body is saying "oh shit. we haven't eaten and we need to eat.

somehow i doubt you're as fit as you say you are. if you do have muscle mass you likely have a layer of flab over it

I mean that girl in deadlift lolita pulls off the muscular girlie frilly look pretty well so I'd say you are looking at the wrong inspiration.

Please be my weightlifting lolita bff I support this 100%

I actually agree. I think the name is stupid, and I honestly hate a lot of the prints they release.

It doesn't, and that's exactly the problem.
Outside the blog I get a lot of compliments, specially when I post it on Facebook or other social media. People do comment and share on Facebook, VK etc. but inside the blog no one dares to say a thing. It's really sad.

Also. IVB? Influenza Virus B? wtf anon

Why would you wash wrist cuffs?

Idk if this is a bait but I only have two pairs and I hate them bc my hands are gross and sweaty, they are on always on my food if I don't take them off and if I have been to public places my hands are dirty and my wristcuffs has probably touched some of the same crap.

My confession is I look pretty and polished in my insta but in almost all candids and reality I look pretty bad. Most people who know me must think I shoop and it's kinda embarrasing? Sometimes I don't post photos if I look way off from what I have previously posted to avoid it.

Do you not know what weightlifters look like? When your muscles aren't engaged you don't look cut, you look smaller than a fat person but bigger than a slim person. You only look cut when you are posing in poses intended to show off muscles
