ELITISM THE PHENOMENON OF LOLITA
By momoko
first line I want to note that this post is basically information and explanations. At no time to bring =)
In recent years, surely you will know or'll notice, most people in this world takes time, expansion has been given the respect lolita years ago. When I started my career in the world lolita, their existence and their knowledge was almost nil and people branded as 'gothic'. As he got older, and thus the consequences of an expansion to every rule (the end of the day all sorts of phenomena resulting consequences.)

remember in my early, when people barely touched the 'handmade' and lolita outfit was reduced by an expensive and exclusive apparel. A measure of growth, handmade stores have gone to their increase and people who support him, anyway. Four years ago or so, people looking for indie store, or normal, it was most often use something handmade, even if it was made the clothes herself (did not have an overlook and take all the fabric flaps down no matter xD and you felt good!).
However, the situation has actually given a twist and it's not bothering me, but I dislike the decomposition of the word Lolita. That believe it or not, is one and always will be that. Let me explain. I've never been against brands handmade, like say, repeat and defend, love me and buy handmade handmade clothing. But not deny that I like marks (as anyone who likes Chanel), because I can not resist the story of Baby prints or Angelic Pretty extravagant ideas. And the absurdity comes when you say that you like trademarks, are an elitist, a cool and all its variants. While a girl who likes handmade and just have a brand Bow Alice, Lolita is the purest, lolita true.
That's where I go. We'll see.

yourself Tell me, what is lolita? "A culture? "A fad? "An ideology? A philosophy? For me, Lolita is the set of all, is the key word for all these things that make you one. I do not understand such a phenomenon that is increasingly in higher power and if I'm honest, I dislike I do not want it that way. A lolita to go from head to toe Baby, is a Lolita, but I hurt or we die of envy (of sound) is a Lolita. A lolita to go head to toe with handmade, is a Lolita. I have often noticed, before the presentation of the girls, the chips, etc. they say 'But yet I have nothing itself (referring to handmade) Lolita. " Tell me now, which is then itself lolita? Lolita has characteristics and these characteristics, it tells you to go mark, or tells you to go with clothes designed by you, or anything. Just a nature that if you turn, you lolita (skirt, ties, socks and little else).
Do not be fooled. Or despise the rest. Because it gives many instances in which a can afford lolita with every luxury one still love and despise Moitié lolitas we can not. But it is also the case that a handmade lolita despise one that has every brand cabinet just for that, having branded stuff. The can not can not and you can, congratulations to her, but do not fall into the black hole, lolitas and we are all proud of loving something that shines. It is ironic, because probably when we see a woman dressed entirely in Burberry and Tommy Hilfiger (who are equally or more expensive than Baby), I never thought, 'But that is elitist, "but" You must have money. " But that should be left on an assumption, not a reality. I usually when I lolita dress soil with Baby clothes because I just love her lace and prints, but I am not, nor rich, nor lined, nor billionaire. Saving every penny, every coin of the school meal, every whim, to offer myself a whim lolita. I get my clothes with my effort and sweat and I'm glad when I get it, because I applied my efforts, although many times I had to resign. That is my reality and others, who spend the whole night awake trying to win an auction where the price of the dress is pulled. So do not get the clothes because daddy give it to us or because we have a pretty face. And I think that we do not deserve the label of elitism. Because first, nobody knows of our lives, let alone whether it is on the Internet, nor the years that we have in this or the effort it is (which makes me angry every time there is a conflict related to this post.)
not cross out people by their dress, sadly, the 'globalization' of the lolita is given more and more. There we split into two warring factions, the handmade and lolitas lolitas elite.

The Lolita was born as one and not force them to separate.
I still remember a post that was, in his day, LIW (sure they were at the forum as leísteis), which separated the lolitas in many categories (if lolitas, if italolitas, if shit lolitas elite and many of these more) and want to tell you, is foolish, because the lolita is always a united movement. Do not believe in these distinctions, because all it does is promote the disagreements, unnecessary battles. I believe there is no elitist lolitas, which create higher than the lolitas have no branded stuff (and if so, let me say that there are lolitas are italolis). Believe it or not, it hurts my soul to read these things (at the same time makes me laugh, because it is nonsense), the lolita is all and when you look at a Lolita, do not look at the brand, do not look if you have the ultimomodelosuperguaydebabyquetieneunnombrelarguísimo, look what is it in full, a lolita. It hurts that we get into the same pot of people conceited and egocentric hurts me to think that we believe elitist, it hurts me to believe that a person, we generalize. Never generalize, because the virtue of being human is the difference.
not believe in elitism lolita, for itself, does not exist. Seek
your essence and your reasons to lolita to lolita. Do not look to the rest because it's intimate and personal for everyone. It is a way of being.
Let's make something real lolita, without fighting or war. We must be united.
