Hey everyone,

First time poster, long time lurker.
My Innocent World Lucky Pack arrived today (21000 yen) and I though I'd share some pictures.

( See what was in there )

Has anyone else's lucky pack arrived? Post your loot ;D

Poll #1508325 Research for a Japanese Lolita Part 2.
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 149

How old are you?

At what age do you think you will stop wearing lolita fashion?

Why do you wear lolita fashion?

Do you think lolita is gender specific / What are your opinions on men who wear lolita fashion?

This last question they ask is a bit personal, but feel free to answer in the comments if you wish:

•What is your personal view on the opposite sex?
An example they give is that maybe some women might turn to lolita as an escape due to violence committed by men via abuse or rape, etc.

If you don't have enough space in the poll for your answers, again feel free to discuss in the comments.

Again, these are not my questions, but a friend of mine on Mixi who is doing a research paper on lolita fashion outside of Japan. They asked me to help with the questionnaires as egl is the largest online community of lolitas they have found.



If you missed the first part of their questionnaire, it can be found here:

I'm in a bit of an odd situation...we're really broke right now, but I got a $70 amazon.com gift card for Christmas and I've been commanded to ONLY spend it on non-necessities. Therefore, I really want to use it to purchase a few things to wear to my first ever lolita tea party.

I have already picked out the petticoat I want (a malco modes one) but also wanted to find some shoes. I want flats, as I'm really REALLY frickin tall, and I would like them to be white or light purple. My searching skills don't seem to be up to par tonight, as all I'm finding are point-toe heels >_< does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations?

For reference, I'll be wearing a medium-dark purple high-waist skirt with white and lavender trim, a white blouse, and a white petti. Does anyone have any sock suggestions, also? I need ones that will fit my thick calves (18 inches of bicycle-riding muscle...sigh).

Thanks!
