† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
It must've been 2001/2002, just before I moved to Germany. I had a part time job in a raver/cyber shop and whilst looking for new brands for our store I stumbled across the Fruits magazine and got hooked. On a holiday trip to Japan in 2003 I visited many stores, but the store clerks told me I was too big for the fashion so I was kinda scared off. But after seeing chubbier lolitas, I finally got my first item in 2005 and am still buying ;-)
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
The doll-like yet creepy appearance of the Gothic Lolita style is still what attracts me the most. Also that you can look so beautiful and elegant without being sexy. In Lolita clothing I can have a normal conversation with a male human being without being rated for my looks, cleavage or bums. Since Lolita isn't sexy, they lose interest. Maybe they think I could be too kinky or the exact opposite? I don't know if there is something like Gothic Lolita culture. I used to enjoy meet ups, but nowadays I prefer small meetings with my close friends because some Lolitas are just scary ^_^°
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
Innocent World, Moi-Même-Moitié, Mary Magdalene.
† Any other comments?
Brand doesn't make you lolita! Hairstyling, make up, lovely accessories...that's what makes your outfit outstanding. You can buy expensive clothes, but you can't buy style! And visit my site: http://dunkelsuess.de
