~MEETALOLITA~

This is going to be used in order to broaden the community of Lolitas on second life. In order to do so, let's meet some active Lolitas!!

A note card was given out to the group to be filled out, these are the ones I got back.

ROUND ONE.

Let's start with the owners of the group!

Willing to accept friendships from other Lolitas on SL? Yes, but I prefer conversation first.
What is it that you think SL is lacking most for Lolitas? Accessories. x_x;
What got you into the Lolita Fashion? Chobits, the anime. Someone mentioned she was in 'lolita' so I looked Lolita up and fell in love.
Why do you like Lolita? I love the idea of looking cute and modest, accentuating the adorableness of who you are over pushing what you have in people's faces. Plus I feel like a princess in frill skirts. xD

What would you like to see come of this group? I would like to see it bring the community together on SL and give the designers of the Lolita fashion a push towards realizing that we're still here, and still looking for them to bring us wonderful things. I also want to create a lolita hangout with a little store where each designer can put one of their outfits that way new lolitas have an easy way to hop from Lolita store to Lolita store without having to feel like it's hard to find a decent dress in any style. <3

What is it that you think SL is lacking most for Lolitas?
Hard to say, but I guess what I see the least on SL is accessories and hangouts.

I decided to check it out several years ago when I was first introduced to it through a "lolita bible", and got addicted just from looking at all of the pretty clothing.

I'm in a big fashion addict, and it happened to be one of the things that caught my interest. Bows, petticoats, and cute skirts/jumpers? Yes please.

At least 6 1/2 years, though I more recently got involved into it when I first joined SL.

What would you like to see come of this group?
Coming from a group owner, well.. I would like to see us create a store as well as a hangout/cafe type area for other lolita to come to while they are shopping and possibly chat and get to know other lolita in the process.

I'd like to see us become one of the top lolita clothing stores and groups known in SL at some point, though I know this is merely a dream for us right now.

Username: HolyMary Loudwater
Name preferred: Simply call me Lucille, not wishing my username to be used
Location; France
Favorite types of Lolita; Gothic, Sweet, Punk, Classic
Do you Lolita IRL? Stopped cause of permanent harrassment in the streets and two physical aggressions -.-
How often do you dress in Lolita in SL? Everyday.
Favorite Lolita store; Katat0nik
Favorites; Honey Kitty, Violent Seduction, Lo*Momo
Least Favorites;
Favorite color to wear; Pink, Black
Favorite patterns to see on Lolita dresses; Caged birds.
Favorite types of Lolita accessories; Bows, umbrellas, shoes
Willing to accept friendships from other Lolitas on SL? Totally ! I have no Lolita friends and am always considered an alien by my other friends cause am a Lolita
What is it that you think SL is lacking most for Lolitas? Places to hangout. "Doll" sims are all adult rated and latexy-bimboish.
What got you into the Lolita Fashion? Anime (Shôjo), and the wonderful book Fruits/Fresh Fruits/Gothic&Lolita by this famous Japanese photographer I can't recall the name.
Why do you like Lolita? The fact it reveals the true feminity and prettiness with clothes and offers a way nicer look on females than this prostitute pornstar look all women get in here. Because, women can also be pretty with clothes; dressing Lolita enhances and enlightens women's natural beauty and desire to be pretty and admired for it. Lolita's behaviour is all in cuteness, niceness, shyness, and modesty, not the usual gogo dancer hookup so many women like.
How long have you been interested in Lolita? Since my twenty's
What would you like to see come of this group? mainly Lolita gatherings, and the hopes for friendship with likeminded people.

Username: Masami Oran
Name preferred: Masami
Location; United States
Favorite types of Lolita; All of them, though I am not as fond of Guro.
Do you Lolita IRL? Oh, I wish! If I had the funding to buy all the great
dresses from the Japanese sites I found!
How often do you dress in Lolita in SL? Almost always, maybe 90% of the
time! Other times I dress in historic kimonos.
Favorite Lolita store; Oh, I couldn't possibly choose! I love so many, and
I bet there's more out there I haven't even found yet! I'll list some of
my favorites: Kawaii Japan, Gallery Fumiwo, and Ambrosia.
Favorites; I am obsessed with Japan itself. I love Anime's, Mangas,
and creating my own role plays with my friends that usually center
around Japan. I enjoy trying Japanese foods and snacks when I
can get them, though I can't have seafood. While I don't know many
Japanese words, I love when I learn new ones and can recognize them.
Of course, I also love lolita! Not only the fashions, but the mind sets.
I love cute or "kawaii" things! Oh, and here in SL I adore lolita shopping!
Least Favorites; I can't stand it when people assume that being lolita is
something dirty or sexual, obviously thought this by countries outside
of Asia. I don't like lolita to be thought of as age play. It isn't! I don't
like false assumptions without actually making an effort to check
things out, and I don't like drama, though it obviously happens.
"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" right?
Favorite color to wear; Oh, I wear all colors! I don't really have a favorite.
Favorite patterns to see on Lolita dresses; I like delicate patterns and
lace. I wear so many different types of patterns, or sometimes just solids.
Favorite types of Lolita accessories; I love hair accessories, little hats
and necklaces. It is hard to describe what type I like. If I am shopping
and one just stands out to me, I've got to have it!
Willing to accept friendships from other Lolitas on SL? Sure, as long as
they contact me and say something before dropping a random friendship
offer on to me, so I know it is a lolita and not a random weirdo! Hehe.
What is it that you think SL is lacking most for Lolitas? Understanding. If
there was more understanding as to what a lolita really is, maybe there
would be more shops devoted to it, and people would not harass us
because they'd understand us, and maybe there'd even be a hangout
for lolita! Wouldn't it be great to have an actual club we could all go to
that was decorated for us, and music would be Anime, J-Pop or other
music suited for us, too? We could go and just dance, have fun and
get to know more people. Maybe more lolita based sims would turn up.
What got you into the Lolita Fashion? I saw it in different manga and
Anime, became curious and started to look in to it more. I got in to it
right away, and enjoyed my journey in learning all about it! I think
the first time I ever saw the fashion was in Chobits.
Why do you like Lolita? It is elegant and innocent. Lolita are gentle and
cute. There is such bitterness in the world, but most lolita types dress
to show off the part of the world that people overlook and no longer see.
Some consider it childish, but just because one "outgrows" a mind-set
doesn't mean that mind set is childish or wrong. For those who still
choose to enjoy these things aren't wrong or strange either. It's a
little piece of goodness and happiness, no matter what type one
might go with. There's beauty and grace, and that makes me happy.
How long have you been interested in Lolita? Years! Maybe over ten?
I lost count!
What would you like to see come of this group? It would be great if we
could all get to know each other and become good friends. Knowing there
are others who like the same things I do out there makes me feel happy,
rather than like a lolita alone in SL, wondering if there were others, like
myself, who would like to see more out there for the lolitas of SL. I'd
love to see this group bring us together.

::UPDATE::

Ambrosia has come out with her adorable coat dress in a new color!

This lighter color mixed with black is awesome for Lolitas looking for a little warmer look for the holiday seasons! <3



There is also an adorable floral dress on the LB and a few new items at the top of the stairs!

While we're on the the topic, we've decided to do our first store review.

::Ambrosia::

This store is one of Saka and my favorites, when I found it we both basically went nuts over the adorable clothing, good quality, and low prices! (Which is perfect for a Lolita on a budget!)

Ambrosia is what Saka and I have labeled a mixed store. There is everything from winter coat dresses, to school uniforms, to little party dress and wedding gowns and everything in between.

We decided to list this store on our Lolita Store list because while the owner gives you enough variety to be a cutie fitting into any fashion you want, she also offers a lot of dresses that would fit in the Jumper Skirt (JKS) category and are easily made into Lolita dresses with the addition of a simple blouse.

And can we even begin to mention accessories? Anyone else a Gacha fiend? I absoutely -love- Gachas, and Ambrosia has a bunch of them stocked with adorable head bands and other accessories to top off her outfits.



Saka and Chobii love Ambrosia, do you?

Welcome to Sakacho's Lolita Haven~

This group is for those in SL who appreciate, adore, and want to spread the word of the Lolita Fashion to others! It's also for those who just want to be updated as to all the news of Lolita in Second Life! We will be bringing weekly shop updates, monthly store lists, and any news of sales/events/hunts we run into while skipping through the world of second life covered in bows and petticoats!

If you want to help keep things updated, just NC one of the group owners!

So you have questions, I'm sure. First and foremost, anyone who doesn't understand what we're doing here might think ill on it. So here's the most basic question and it's answer!

~*What is lolita?*~

Lolita; as defined has to do with some book, but that's -not- the lolita we're taking about here.

Lolita is a style of fashion that fans argue the origin of all the time because it takes a lot of influence from western antiquity. Where ever the origin may be, it's vastly popular in Japan and it's popularity sparked there much before it moved elsewhere. It focuses on being modest, and feminine, using a bell shaped skirt that is like impossible to get without the right petticoat. Even lolita inspired dresses are not considered lolita without this bell shape, as the bell shape is one of the distinctive traits of the lolita fashion.

There are other traits that help define the fashion to help people perfect the look, but we'll get into that later.

People who dress in this fashion like to call themselves “Lolita” as if they are lolitas. To be 'a lolita' you merely need to dress in the fashion, properly. It is not a way of life and there are no rules, aside from the fashion rules for the look like with any other fashion, needed to follow to be 'a lolita.'

There are some wonderful stylists and creators on Second Life that make the lolita fashion spring to life in our virtual home, and soon enough we will be bringing those people to all of the inspiring Lolitas who want to portray themselves with such a fashion on Second Life!

~*Who are the owners?*~

Saka (sooyun.ichtama) and Chobii are your group owners. We're both fairly approachable and will be happy to assist anyone with questions about the group. Just send us a NC!

~*What do we plan to do?*~

Well that's entirely up to the lolita population on SL. At first, we will just be keeping up with sales, stores, and things fitting into the lolita Style of Fashion. We will educate people via the blog as to different styled of lolita fashion and what fall into them. :D
