[EDIT: he broke up with me :))))] one time when my boyfriend and i were going out, this was like late last month, i was telling him about how excited i was to get one of my dream prints (cats tea party) and i told him i didnt know what to wear for our date and he said 'why not wear the cat dress youre excited about?' the whole time i was getting ready and waiting for him to pick me up, i was scared. but when he seen me he kept telling me how cute i looked in the dress and everything, and when he was taking me back home he put my headbow on which made me 🥺 i told him how my parents dont support me and my lolita adventures, and he said he still dont really understand it but supports anything that makes me happy :') 💝

[@seanathanbeanathan]

S t o p That's too cute djdjjcjkls

[@byrnetdown6076]

That's fantastic! It sounds like he genuinely supports you even if he doesnt understand yet:)

[@PrinceFluttershy]

Oh my gooood yes that’s so cute

[@ashton2191]

Keep him

[@sleepysartorialist]

AWWWWWWWWW

[@heliaaxis5823]

The term "dolling up" or "getting dolled up" is australian slang for getting dressed up. Its not super commonly used but it's a thing and may not specifically be referring to the whole 'lolita living doll' thing.

[@bethabaloo]

helia axis We also say this in the States and Canada, but it’s not very commonly used as well and is considered kind of dated/quirky phrasing. Lor commenting on it means it’s likely the production team was really pushing for that kind of terminology because it “fit” the narrative they wanted to present.

[@rubyblack6682]

Like they said we also use it in the states!

[@nininoona]

The phrase is not exclusive to Australia. It is commonly used in the south (in the USA) as well to mean the same thing.

[@sleepysartorialist]

It’s common here in the States too not sure how she managed to avoid it 😂

[@rudiemightfail2460]

We say that in Ireland and people in the UK say it too

[@cloudhead5610]

[@papkinn]

Nobody: Start of a documentary: During day we're normal people like everyone else but in night we wear frilly pink dresses and sacrifice random kids to God we call "Misako"

[@kalifothealice9217]

As gothic lolitas we offer sacrifises to our lord and savior mana sama

[@ahhh4117]

kalifo the alice as a goth I’ve fallen victim to sacrifice to mana sama. And it was AWESOME

Not Me that would be amazing

[@allisonnicole1659]

Me too! I was like “damn she’s doing a full outfit change she’s COMMITED”

[@hangingfuchsias6439]

I know just how you feel Lor. A former friend would tell me that my lolita dresses were "sexual" because they were short. Needless to say we aren't friends anymore for many reasons, but that was one of them.

[@WhimsicalNessa]

I’m sorry, but who looks at lolita dresses and think, “Oh, these frilly and adorable dresses are sexual!”...

[@WhimsicalNessa]

Hanging Fuchsias That is sadly, but absolutely true:

[@Keirabug]

that leg shot was so unnecessary and weird

[@josephineantoinette5245]

I think they were trying to recreate one of the Lolita book covers. It is a really weird and inappropriate shot.

[@melissabrown2516]

I remember watching this and having second hand anxiety that the girls mom would see this video. I hope they are doing well!

[@missdaydreamillusion]

it was another 'story' the producers of the doco pushed on them

[@WhimsicalNessa]

missdaydreamillusion Oh! I was almost worried that their mother basically forced them to quit lolita.

[@Friday_The_Thirteenth]

Me too! God Bless everyone!

[@sniffitsblog]

I’ve gotten stares but mostly what I get is excited kids, middle aged ladies who want to know more, old ladies very amused, and one time a teenage girl who knew what the fashion was!

[@allisonnicole1659]

Me too! Most people are brave enough to say anything mean to you to your face. So many kids ask me if I’m a princess and a lot of old ladies like it bc I look “old-fashioned” and “modest”

[@sanaishiguro6873]

I am a Japanese lolita. It seems many lolitas overseas are sick of being called a living doll? They often describe lolita fashion as rococo inspired, but I've never felt that's accurate. Our fashion has more influence from antique french dolls. No wonder I never see lolitas from other countries wearing the ball-jointed doll tights that's super popular here in Japan. They don't want to look like a doll.....

[@WhimsicalNessa]

Ooh, that’s actually an interesting point of view. As a Japanese lolita, would you say being compared to a doll is offensive? I know everyone has their own different thoughts about it, but it would be a useful thing to learn.

[@alice-8566]

I think it might be because that’s just not what they are going for, some lolitas don’t mind but a lot of the time, in the west at least, people who are seen as living dolls are not the same as people who wear lolita.

[@peachy8238]

@@alice-8566 ya I live in New York and a lot of people separate it by saying their into doll core or Lolita fashion solely or either explain that they have an interest in both and tend to mix it together. For example my other friend who’s been wearing Lolita since before me is super into also looking like a doll and tends to use makeup effects to do so while wearing Lolita fashion where as for me I’m solely into just Lolita but still admire the doll core aesthetic as well.

[@T3hXinro]

The last time I was this early, Cat's Teaparty was still in stock.

[@lakesideghost]

I totally get the whole people wanting to sleep with you because of your style. I dressed relatively alternative (range of styles but mostly typical e-girl/punk) and men only see me as a "big tiddy goth gf". It's happened since I started dressing different (when I was under age).Yes my style is something that is attractive and interesting about me but it's not the only thing that makes me interesting or/and attractive.

[@nanamiharuka3269]

Right? Like you can think someone is hot or attractive in a certain style but as long as they also like you for you, no matter the style

[@lakesideghost]

Nanami Haruka exactly!!! 💓

[@allisonnicole1659]

I get if you find a style attractive or “sexual” but that doesn’t mean you should sexualize the PEOPLE wearing the clothes we don’t sexualize people just bc of what they wear !

[@alice-8566]

It’s kind of odd since lolita isn’t really a sexy style, like it isn’t meant to be seen that way, but I guess some people are just inherently so because of how attractive they are?

[@bexthewitch87]

"Exclusively what and restrictive to whom?" I HATE!!!!! documentaries that make lolita this sad, lonely, exclusive, weird thing. It is not that secretive and if you want to get into the fashion just reach out to your community! I would love to see a more recent doc about adults and POC and trans-litas in it. Let's get that ball rolling, guys!!!

[@allisonnicole1659]

I showed my friend at work the dress I had just ordered and one said “that’s so weird. Nobody really wears that” but the other was like “that’s SO cute! Life would be way more interesting if everyone just wore pretty fluffy dresses day to day!”

[@bethabaloo]

I actually love to hear you talk about how documentaries are filmed and given bias from the creators and things like that. I always want to hear more when you start to talk about things related to filming and your experience with it. I’d love to hear about your thoughts about these kinds of documentaries from the perspective of your experience with filming as well!

[@FellowLee]

Really appreciate how respectful you are. :) Yup to the handling of 'bro-lita'. When not just plain othering, it can also misgender a person. :(

[@mentalotaku]

I remember the day my ex asked if he could have sex with me in my cosplay. I know there are girls out there who it’s their kink, but cosplay is an art from and a way I express myself. The worst part and when I got him to clarify why he would ask me that, he just answered with “well who wouldn’t want to have sex with *insert my favourite cosplay character here*” It was so humiliating, I’m glad we broke up 😣

[@Jessiswatchingyou]

My boyfriend literally asked me this recently saying he wanted to "rip my bodysuit off" me, I was like???? No???? This costs money dude wtf🤣

[@mentalotaku]

Jess seriously!! I do NOT need any bodily fluids on my ball gown thank you very much 😤

[@suzubee9602]

It's always a strange, uncomfortable thing where they want to have sex with this character and not you, and it feels bad.

[@mentalotaku]

suzubee especially when it’s a character they know you have a really strong connection to on a personal level

[@LacedWithOreos]

I'm glad you aren't together anymore because a LOT of work goes into cosplay! Aside from that, boundaries should be respected 💖

[@rebelsheep1544]

One of my gorgeous friends was in this doco! I think it's important to note with the anonymous and secretive nature of this media is that despite Australian culture being laid back, it's also quite conservative with very large parts of the country being rural. There is definitely more of a value placed on conformity. However there are exceptions. The Australian lolitas are definitely still active!

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

6:53 “brolita” makes me think of the term “brony “

[@sleepysartorialist]

OH GOD

[@NIHIL_EGO]

They technically come from the same etymological root. That is, taking the word "bro" and slapping it with another word. In this case, lolita and pony.

[@ZuzannaFavesDie]

@@NIHIL_EGO referring to modern made terms as words with "etymological roots" is so funny to me like ik that's just how it works but it's funny for some reason

[@livinwonder6432]

Cant beat a red and white coord 😍 Absolutely love the make up Lor (doll costumes had me dying 😂😂)

[@KikuAkachan92]

I was a part of this comm when the doco was being made and everything about it seemed sooo sketchy. I didn't end up attending any of the meets they had planned for this doco. Once it aired I remember the whole community being quite shocked with how it was edited. I'm really glad I couldn't make it in the end. Also that comm in particular has always been a little bit exclusive and makes it quite tough for people to be a part of it, so the doco got that bit right but pretty much nothing else.

[@zegobou]

Imagine a lolita secret society tho xD

[@phlackbillip]

I feel incredibly lucky that my SO thinks lolita is an amazing fashion. He likes to dress in Victorian goth attire, so when we meet up, we dress up together and look all snazzy 😁

[@abbeylawford4716]

Agreed, positive comments far outweigh the negatives, no matter where you go, even in a conservative town in Texas 😊

[@mimishake6571]

I adore your videos, please don't stop the reaction videos they are so entertaining to watch.

[@aloisplease]

Ok Lor I ADORE your hair and makeup today♡♡♡ you're always cute but today I was especially like "gurl you look so cute"!

[@DennisWDobbins]

I would think the term "Lolito" would be preferable over "Brolita"

[@aloisplease]

Hey lor! In australia and Nz lolita is nowhere near as widely accepted or publicly okay as the US and canada! As a kiwi whose been in the USA a few months, I can confirm that thouhh perhaps a little over emphasized, people WILL be rude to you on the street far more than polite/complimentary (thats not to say we dont still get compliments and smiles, and our xenophobic cultures become more open and accepting every day♡ )

[@kateruggeri7974]

I've had more good than bad experiences in Sydney, but never in the US did I get anything as abusive as here, either. Everything from Two Dollar Whore to Plastic Barbie Bitch.

[@stratosphere94]

I used to be (sorta) part of one of the comms in Australia (I won’t say which city.) It was honestly both one of the best and worst times of my life. It was so stereotypically bitchy and horrible. But I did meet some cool people lmao. I learnt a lot during that time.

[@hopiecosplay6182]

Im semi part of my local comm (fellow Aussie) and they seem like lovely people! They are just two hours away from me and I have yet to go to their events!

[@matadorqueen8982]

Lolita is beautiful I like the style and the many unique substyles of it

[@chelsiemalfoy]

I think I used to actually follow the sister with the blue beret. She was one of the "plus size" lolitas that inspired me to get into the fashion.

[@thedungeon325]

I remember seeing this doc when I was in highschool and wanting to do lolita... Also I live in basically a retirement town and old people compliment me all the time. Only teenagers in highschool make fun of me and not to my face and I don't care, it makes me laugh.

[@starballoon2318]

That's a good attitude to have

[@SHAEBBZ]

Hiya! My comm (Adelaide) was featured in this video, I was interviewed but it got cut. Honestly I found the producers to be really quite nice and genuinely interested in what I had to say, there were no leading questions and it was mostly talking about how my daily life contrasted with the lolita aesthetic. I was really surprised when the segment aired (it was shown on national television as part of a youth current affairs show) and it'd been edited to skew towards the whole living doll stereotype, because I didn't get the impression that that was the point they were trying to make, so it was a little disappointing. I can say though that we do feel quite defensive, because we do experience more than our fair of heckling/weird stares/photos taken without our consent both as a group at meetups and individually. I don't know if maybe theres a larger proportion of dickheads here or if people are just more vocal about it. P.S. as a moderator of the adl comm, we'd love to have you, but we can't guarantee an audience of more than 20 people lol.

[@missdaydreamillusion]

@18:20 it has ewer views compared to some other lolita documentaries as this is actually a re-post of the original video - many Australian lolitas were calling them out in the youtube comments so they removed the video and later re-posted it under the different name. Can also confirmed many lolitas at the high tea were interviewed, myself included, trying to get us to talk about negative experiences but lost interest and moved on quickly when we spoke about enjoying the fashion to feel pretty and have fun with friends

[@kateruggeri7974]

I remember someone saying that the initial number of people interviewed for this was over 40, mostly at the tea party event. That blows my mind, considering they used almost none of it.

[@WhimsicalNessa]

Wow... That’s honestly so horrible...

[@allysa5878]

You are sweet and i watched your video being Tyler recently and was cracking up. All three of you are amazing ladies. I don't wear lolita but highly appreciate the styles and your informative views ive learned a lot since i started watching your videos

[@sakurap]

Thanks for doing a reaction video shining more light on the Aussie community! I've only recently become part of a few comms in Australia (so missed the booming years around 2015) but I'd say most people are chill. If you ever wanted to visit our country, let me know! Would be keen on showing you around and organising an event to meet comms. I'm currently living in Oslo, Norway though so it'll have to wait until after I'm back home (and after the covid-19 situation).

[@soulsworn13]

Men in Australia feel very confident catcalling you, especially if you're presenting as feminine or innocent. I don't think they're exaggerating at all tbh, but its not a lolita specific experience

[@cha0tic_neutral_system]

I got an ad right as lor started yelling

[@starryluna5688]

It made me laugh honestly when the doc was trying to make lolita seem like some secret illuminati-esque club. Like, most comms I know of on the average end have 100+ members or even more. That's not all that super secret. I get why they would focus some on the negative aspects of it like what lolitas may struggle with because those are clearly true and valid, but as I tend to hear from many others as well as my own experience, the positives definitely outweigh the negative. I have yet to get any weird sexual comments (thankfully) while in lolita (probably because my hubby scares creepers off) but I have gotten plenty of dirty looks and mocking whispers and gestures. Yet I've also had so many compliments from people primarily older ladies and kids and it always makes me feel happy and forget the negative stuff.

[@danicarroll8330]

i live in australia and i only ever seen lolitas at cons like Supanova in the major cities.

Lolita is very much alive and well in Australia! We mostly look with envy at Europe, Asia & the Americas with their big brand tea parties and events lol. It’s just too hard and expensive to have the same opportunities as bigger countries. We would love to have you visit us one day!

[@willmorbyers923]

When you mentioned toxic lolita communities, that made me think of why I quit lolita haha. I was on a lolita amino and I got temporarily banned for pretty much being too much of a noob and supposedly not reading the material (I did, I'm just not confident so I felt the need to still consult people about stuff). I disputed this and tried to explain but it was unsuccessful. I was young and stupid, and took the persons comment that they didnt care as being mean. (It's actually hard to genuinely care while on the internet) Even so, I was young and so I ended up crying and quitting lolita because of trauma that sometimes comes up when interacting with lolitas. Sorry. Just venting haha

[@alice-8566]

As a community, lolita may be about fashion and looking pretty and flawless but in reality it is far from it, as all communities we have our fair share of elitists, toxic members and ideologies. I’m very sorry that was your experience.

[@kawaiimagicalex5170]

Thank you for pointing out the "brolita" thing. There are so many trans women in lolita fashion who get misgendered because of the popularity of this term, even though it's a fashion used very often so that trans women can finally express their femininity. Plus even if someone is a man (a cis man or a trans man) they're just a lolita, just like everyone else.

as far as parents not understanding subcultures i was into punk early 80's and i was literally not allowed to leave the house with spiked hair. i had no piercings, no tats, and nothing but a RAMONES shirt, jeans and sneakers and even spiked hair was not allowed. you've seen the trope of the teenage girl wearing something "suggestrive" and the parents are all "yer not going anywhere dressed like that" that's literally what it was like fer yers truly even fer something as basic as spiked undyed hair (if i had dyed my hair it would've been world war 3) so believe me parents being less than understanding about their kids subcultures is certainly nothing new in fact it was even worse in times past.

[@greencoloredstar]

I love this coord! 😍

[@booksandmaybelle98]

To be honest, as an Australian who isn't lolita but has an alternative style I can totally see Aussies being "rude" about it. My style isn't' as "out there" but is alternative and people are rude about it all the time. In Aus most people judge you if you don't wear a tank top, shorts and some thongs (the shoes)

[@cannolicorgi8913]

6:40 From what I know, there's a more masculine version of lolita called ouji, and it comes in all the same variants as lolita. I don't know as much about ouji, so there may be more differences or they may just be the same thing, but I think they're both really cool fashions. Edit: this comment kinda came off as if men can't wear lolita and women can't wear ouji, so I'd just like to clarify that's not what I meant. From the information I have, I see lolita as a more feminine fashion and ouji as a more masculine fashion, but that doesn't mean it's not for anyone of any gender. I hope that helped get what I was trying to say across properly.

literally no one: the documentary: in the daytime I'm just a normal person with a normal life but at night we get into our fluffy pink dresses and kidnap and sacrifice children to the god we call "Osoroshii Kirameki"

Hey, I have a question. I'm a trans guy and really like lolita but I'm not comfortable wearing skirts, so I was wondering if there's an option for doing something similar but with pants? I really love the cute aesthetic but I'd like to give it a "masculine" spin, is it possible? I don't care about fitting into a gender stereotype, I just want to find clothes that I like, and I love lolita. Love your videos btw!

I'm not Lor, but...Ouji! Ouji is lolita's trouser counterpart, so to speak. All the frills and lace with none of the skirts, and heels are even more optional! I've been looking into ouji myself, since I love lace and pretty stuff but hate wearing poofy skirts (and lolita skirts are the definition of poofy, as I'm sure you've seen, good sir). I haven't figured out where to find patterns yet, but ouji is definitely a thing. The channel Attitude Lolita has a basic overview on ouji and another "masc" lolita counterpart style called kodona.

@@BraveEmpress Tanks a lot! From what I see by just looking at a beginners guide, it seems Ouji is just what I was looking for, a perfect match! So happy to have found this. Thanks again, and have a nice day!

Hi! Im currently studying the semiotics and the origins of lolita, and have read a few essays saying that it originated from working class who felt pressure from adult life and social/ economic changes and wanting to find comfort in lost childhood freedom. Is this still something you agree with, and is it somethig lolitas still resonate with or does it have a new meaning?

[@Bananacustardcostuming]

As a man, I find it easier to call my fashion by its subset name, aristocrat goth, than lolita. I wear male gendered clothing (think vampire prince) and I think if I call myself Lolita, people would assume I dress in a female way in dresses and skirts.
