Day 9 - 10 things you will never do in lolita

1. I will never cook in lolita, there's too much chance I get my clothes dirty from it.




2. Well this subject is quite controversial according to the loli secrets, but I will never have sex in my lolita clothes!


3. I will never go to a sportive activity in lolita. I did go to a laser quest game in lolita and that was fine since it's not for long and not very intense. I'm talking more about jogging, roller, bicycle, etc.




4. I will not go to an interview in lolita, even if it is for a more casual company. It doesn't look too professional and would attract bad attention towards me. The only exception would be for a lolita clothing store, but that kind of store doesn't exist here yet.




5. I will never go to a club or big non-lolita party in lolita. It's really not a good place for this fashion with all the people who are drinking and not paying attention to what they're doing.




6. I will never paint or use markers in lolita. I somehow manage to get my hand full of paint or marker when I use them so I would not take the chance to be dressed in lolita while doing those activities.



7. I would never sleep in lolita for obvious reasons.




8. I will not go outside in lolita if the weather is really horrible and could damage my clothes and shoes.




9. I will not eat too much in lolita. With the dress and al the layers it is simply uncomfortable when you belly is a bit too full.




10. I will not go outside alone at night in lolita unless I'm coming back from a meeting or event. Even so, I feel terribly uncomfortable when it happens. It is just not safe to be dressed like that in the middle of the night when you are walking alone.




This one is not that interesting. 
Hopefully next day will be better!

Day 8 - 10 songs that inspire you for lolita

I have to be honest here. I don't know much music... and especially not songs that give a lolita feeling. I will try my best to find the ones that inspire me for lolita. I feel that the songs that inspir eme are strangely more gothic than sweet and cute. So let's try this! Please note that I'm a huge fan of Japanese music, therefore the songs will probably all be in Japanese.

1. BARBiE BARBiE by Aira Mitsuki

   

This song has a very sweet and pink feeling to it. I feel like putting on make up and dressing up when I hear it! It also gives me the feeling that I need to go shopping eheh...



2. Still Doll by Kanon Wakeshima



I feel this is on of the best lolita songs you can find. It has this dark gothic feeling to it. The song is creepy and cute at the same time. The violin is simply beautiful too.



3. Tsukema Tsukeru by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu



 Everything in this song inspires me a fairytale. It's really cute and weird in a sweet way. I love that this song is about putting on fake eyelashes. I never managed to put a pair on myself though sadly. Of course Kyary has other song that inspires me for lolita, but I think this one is the most appropriate one because of what it is saying.



4. Lacrimosa by Kalafina

 

I really love this band along with Fictionjunction. This song has a very epic and dark feeling to it. The violins and the beautiful voices are so elegant and powerful. It truly fits the classic and gothic lolita styles.



5. Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi by ON OFF

 

This is Vampire Knight opening for the first season. While it is not my favorite song, it somehow inspires me the gothic lolita style. I'm not sure if I like the anime, but the opening definitely gets stuck in my head.



6. A Stray Child by Yuki Kajiura


I couldn't find any official videos for this one so I had to take a fanmade video about the anime (dothack//sign). This song feels kinda childish because of the cute sounds but in reality it is really dark and sad. Again, I feel it is related to the gothic style but also bitter sweet. I liked this series too, but it was hard to understand in the end.



7. Omna Magni by Yoko Kanno



I discovered this song via new ground a few years ago. I wasn't expecting this to make me feel so sad. I like the feeling of this song. It is really cute and creepy again at the same time. I guess the video also helped me to like it. The animation is very simple but full of emotion too.



8. Dango Daikazoku from CLANNAD




This is the ending for Clannad anime. I never watched it but I find the song so cute! I feel like having a whole bunch of plushies by my side when I hear that song. 



9. Waltz in general. I took the one from Dmitri Shostakovich for an example.



Waltz are always so elegant. They are very inspiring for the classic style. I don,t particularly listen to waltzs, but when I hear one I think of victorian style and classic lolita.



For the last one, I decided to put in a song that inspires me a lot but isn't lolita at all. It is a song that inspires me for personal projects mostly.

10. The Image Theme of Xenosaga II by Yuki Kajiura


 
Each time I listen to this song I can imagine a story and characters interacting, or even an animation sequence without any particular goal. It always gives me a burst of creativity. I used to listen to it before going to bed.


That's it for today!
See you tomorrow.

Day 7 - 10 people who inspire your lolita style

1. Libellule. Her username on youtube is Libellule13malou. I discovered her through youtube. I was very happy to hear her speak in French. She was often posting her new dresses that she was receiving and she seems so nice. I really appreciate her sweet style.




2. Saina is also one of the lolita's I really appreciate on youtube. She often posts tutorials and hauls. She is a friend of Libellule I think (according to their pictures and some of their videos). She seems sweet and has some good tutorials up on youtube. I haven't seen many of coords, but her make up and beauty tutorials are interesting.




3. Shelby Cloud. I also discovered her on youtube. She gives a lot of advices for lolita and I really learned a lot from her videos. Her coords are simply gorgeous and I wish I would be able to coordinate like her. 




4. RosieOs. I know she quit lolita for Gyaru but I did admire her when she was a lolita. She was very honest and her videos were fun and her coords were nice.



5. Princesse Pudding. She is also a user on youtube. While I do not intend to try a similar hairstyle as hers, I appreciate her honesty and admire her self-esteem. She has her own particular style and is not afraid pf saying what she really thinks.




6. Princess Peachie! I really like her. She is really sweet and I love her style. I also discovered her on youtube and I enjoy watching her tutorials and funny videos.




7. Lilmisskaikai. I saw one of her videos of youtube about her transformation from an ormal girl to a sweet lolita. I'm sad that I cannot seem to find more stuff about her because I like her style and would like to see more. I saw some of her pictures on deviantart though so I guess she might be more active there.




8. Spider who writes the Spidergalaxy blog here on blogger. I like her style it is original and you can see she put time into her coords.







9. There is a lolita friend whose style I really like in my local comm. I don,t know her username on egl but I suppose it's the same as in the forums. So Doumdoum always manages to make sweet look very elegant and beautiful. She is also a wonderful loli mother!







10. And finally, as a sweet lolita I cannot forget to mention the AP designers Maki and Asuka. They created the beautiful brand of Angelic Pretty and their wonderful prints. Therefore they are very inspiring to me in the lolita fashion.




That's it for today! It was difficult to think about all the people who inspire me, but I think I managed to find the most influencing ones.

On a side note, I have a very important test tomorrow for a job that I want to get. I need to color backgrounds in an animation program for the test but I still don,t know what it will be like. I practiced, but didn't know what to practice at the same time... wish me good luck! I really need this job, it could be the first step to finally getting my animation career started!

10 things you can't live without in lolita

1. I couldn't live without my head eating headbow! I absolutely love that kind of headbows and can only find them in the lolita style. My head feels naked when I don't wear one of those when I'm dressed in lolita.



2. Petticoats are a major part of the lolita style. I really like the feeling of wearing one. I wouldn't imagine myself wearing a flat dress anymore!
 
 


3. I wouldn't be able to go out in lolita without at least 1 plastic jewelry piece. I really like AP's jewelry style, with the plastic material and the cute colors and animals. I even wear them sometimes without being dressed in lolita. It gives me a feeling of being myself a bit more when I can't dress in lolita.


4. I couldn't imagine wearing a lolita dress without lace! I feel that pieces of lolita clothing without lace on them aren't totally fitting into the fashion. I love looking at the lace patterns on AP dresses especially. They often relate to the print of the dress.
 
 


5. My local community! If I was all alone I would almost never get occasions to dress in lolita. I would try dressing up when I go out, but being alone is far less interesting than being with all the wonderful girls from my local comm.
 
 
 

6. As I've seen someone else write in their blog, I also think money is a must in lolita! You won't go really far without money to buy your brand or material to make your own dress. Money is always in the way of every single hobby/passion you can have unfortunately.
 
 


7. Having supportive friends is important. I wouldn't be able to wear this beloved fashion if I hadn't at least one friend to support me. It is hard when someone close to you dislikes your tastes. But when you are not alone, it's so much easier to deal with it. I have my mom and some friends who don't approve of my choices, but my bf and other friends are encouraging me so I feel really happy.


8. Self-esteem! It is important to be confidant and have a lot of self-esteem to be comfortable in the lolita fashion. If you have to go alone and people are looking at you and sometimes insulting you, you have to be able to deal with it and continue to be proud of who you are. Stick to what you like and don't listen to some random rude people who try to destroy your pride. 


9. I wouldn't go far without my make-up in lolita! I love to take the time to put on my foundation and mascara before going to a meeting. I feel prettier with make-up on as most of us do and I think it is important to take time to make yourself all pretty when you wear lolita.




10.  Last ting I wouldn't live without in lolita is probably my hair. I do wear a lot of wigs for cosplays, but I feel that I need to use my real hair for lolita. Taking the time to do my hairstyle before a meeting is one of my favorite moments. I've grown to love my hair over the years and I am proud to use it instead of a wig when I dress in lolita. I'm planning to let it grow even more until it reaches the bottom of my back.
 


Woah it's so late and I was suppsoed to go to bed earlier today... I shall run to my bed now!
