Even in Singapore! Although, of course, the 'oh it's cosplay lah!' remarks and comments still outweigh the 'oh it's a fashion call gothic lolita', lol.Shuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773562790454470249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232867191173775066.post-86398968241452520022012-04-22T09:06:39.893+08:002012-04-22T09:06:39.893+08:00I'm rather detached from lolita these days, I ...I'm rather detached from lolita these days, I hadn't realise that lolita or the mention of some aspects of it anyways have crept into mainstream literature quite so much. I think I'd be terribly tickled if ever I were to read a book I had picked up randomly only to read about lolita minions in it!Celeste @ Becoming beautifulhttp://www.becoming-beautiful.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232867191173775066.post-82133899787743944172012-04-14T01:00:25.750+08:002012-04-14T01:00:25.750+08:00I'm comfortable with first-person or third-per...I'm comfortable with first-person or third-person narratives so it doesn't bother me, lol. And god knows, I sloughed through Twilight: Breaking Dawn a few weeks ago just to see what the fuss was about. I know first-person narratives doesn't sit well with quite a few readers, I kinda want to know why is that so? <br /><br />I can't speak for most lolis but the ones I know personally actually got into this fashion in their late teens and early 20s. I myself got into lolita fashion in my late 20s ^^ That was quite long ago though! Currently, I do feel girls into loli fashion are getting younger and younger indeed. The average age seems to be 15-18 nowadays. But the author alluding that gothic lolitas, the ones in his book at least, all wanting to look like eternal 12-year-olds just makes me very amused.Shuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773562790454470249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232867191173775066.post-27310184556973461152012-04-14T00:42:26.277+08:002012-04-14T00:42:26.277+08:00Why does it seem like everything's written in ...Why does it seem like everything's written in first-person present-tense these days? I thought it was just popular in young adult books like Hunger Games...<br />Interesting to see the lolita references though. But don't most lolis get into it a few years after age 12?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
