I like the no-shoes look lol. Would be cute for Mori or farm-style classical lolita. Also i think lolita is very consumerist now, you gotta be in a room with brand bags taped on your walls and 500 korilekkumas on your bed. I remember Lolita in 2012 being much more of an alternative fashion with the adjoined alternative lifestyle, like all alt fashion used to be. Lolita started as rejection of expectations for women and humility, so of course you're gonna go sit on a lawn and ruin your frivolous, expensive dress like some kind of idiot, that's what it's about.

[@chizukekihime]

8:15 : That's not a print, that's AP's Bloom OP in yellow from 2008 lol. (Also why do I have like half the things these girls were wearing in this video..? >>) Also WOW look at how vibrant that Sugary Carnival was before the prints had started fading! ;__; Also I am not at all bothered by their not wearing shoes; they're obviously just hanging out in a park for a picnic, and idk maybe this is because I'm a country bumpkin but there's just something so nice and freeing about running around in warm grass barefoot. I'm sure they wore shoes to and from the park and in the boat, those shots just weren't included. It's very playful and childlike which was definitely something lolitas focused on back then, like when you see them playing patty cake. There was a big focus on retaining childhood and youth and just being free and careless in lolita--which is actually explained a bit in the essay Lolita: Dreaming, Despairing, Defying, which was published in 2011 and I did a reading of last week on my channel in case anyone is curious!

[@Slithera]

The OP that Victoria wears in the beginning (the one you said "What print is that? We'll never know" about) is actually a solid dress, it's called Bloom OP and the flower details on the bodice are made with fabric. I think it was quite underrated, even at the time, which is a shame because it's really pretty!

[@SuPeRsKiTtLeStAlKeR]

It's a dream dress of mine. When she said what print is that I was thought the same thing.

[@psychotophatcat]

I've always wanted this dress but the only ones that ever come up online are heavily damaged and overpriced. RIP

[@kidaria1333]

Yeah I always wanted it in mint. And the yellow version is a very pretty yellow and in general a colour not often enough used by the designers. The dress in general is such a nice idea and being very unique in my opinion but without being extra loud with print but istead such details as the flowers in the bodice. BTSSB Saint Gabrielle JSK and Metas Velveteen OP with Detachable Yoke also fall in this underrated category in my opinion.

[@blackeveryseason]

Y'all going on about the boat and shoes and no blouse, but BRUH, THEY SAT ON GRASS 😭😭😭 if there was ever a SLIVER of wet dirt that touched my brand...

[@Libby7428]

I never understood the huge deal about this ? At the end of the day, Lolita is clothing, just like regular wear! It needs to be washed anyway, so why over worry about *potentially* dirtying a piece? 😅😅 Clothing is made to be worn... I get it if it's a print you know is difficult to wash for whatever reason, but most dresses these days???

[@blackeveryseason]

@@Libby7428 For me, I invest in the clothes and although most lolita releases aren't "rare", they are limited. I rather not put my dresses at INTENTIONAL risk for something I can't immediately replace if say I wasn't able to fix/remove a large/severe stain/tear. Accidents happen, of course, but I treat my lolita like porcelain 😂 If I don't HAVE to put my porcelain at the edge of a table, I'm not going to. Personally, of course.

[@Libby7428]

That makes sense! Do you wear it more for occasions then rather than daily?^^

[@damnbro_idc]

I feel like lolitas react to the word loli the same way the general public reacts to moist

[@KLT-id9nm]

I can't even make it through the book Lolita. It's too triggering of my own past trauma. I wish people would pay attention to the things Dolores is actually saying and doing. The things she says don't match up with her abuser's claims and images- which is the point. But it's hard for me to grasp how people miss these things when they're not even "between the lines"- it's all out in the open. But that's exactly what makes the book a pointed statement about abuse. People looking in from the outside can easily miss things that are "right in front of their faces", and will take people's word for things without getting the other side of the story. People read the book and simply take the word of its intentionally unreliable narrator at face value. Same thing often happens in real life. That was generally the point, but the point still goes over some people's heads. People still bizzarely think it's a "love story". Also, random rant, but people still call her "Lolita", which was her abuser's nickname for her, rather than her actual name (Dolores) when talking about her character. People don't define her character outside of his narrative much at all. Maybe I'm too sensitive but that's always bothered me a bit. Imagine if everyone only called you by the nickname your abuser made up. Sure she's just a character, but this happens in real life too, which is why I can't help but cringe at it a bit. It's a hard part of recovery for a lot of people, getting out from under the identity chosen for them and building their own seperate from the abuse. At least it was for me. I guess that's what it reminds me of and why it bothers me.

[@TheStitchess]

K.L T this omg. Dolores never even says the words “I love you” ONCE in that book

[@cynamonowacma]

From what I gather the name Lolita is short for Dolores. I've heard women named Dolores being called Lolita by family and friends before, so I'd say it's as much of a nickname as Kate is for Catherine and such. Although I agree with the rest of your comment on her character being defined solely by the relationship to her abuser.

[@KLT-id9nm]

I've never head of Lolita being a nickname for Dolores, and no one else in the story calls her that if I recall. I've read it's a term for a young maiden in certain european countries, sort of like jeune fille in french. Although according to wiki: Lolita is a female given name of Spanish origin. It is the diminutive form of Lola, a hypocorism of Dolores, which means "suffering" in Spanish. I don't know if that means it's a nickname or an alternative. Personally, I think my point still stands- people choose to use the nickname her abuser used for her instead of her actual name, even though she also doesn't call herself Lolita at any point as far as I recall.

[@Iron_Stigmata]

Exactly, thank you

[@cindyscrawly1672]

@@KLT-id9nm im mexican, i can confirm, Lolita or Lola is used pretty much like an alternative... like Lulú for Lourdes or Chava for Salvador., even if you are not familiar(or a comolete stranger even) with someone with those names its socially acceptable to call them that.

[@atinyevil1383]

On the lolitas liking Lolita topic: so from what I’ve heard of the book is that it is often misinterpreted. The idea behind it isn’t glorifying terrible, awful things, but instead is supposed to show that no one in the girl’s life was thinking about her wants or needs and they just keep projecting what they want onto this teen girl. That’s just an interpretation I’ve heard. Sorry if that’s too complex for a cute video!

[@CaptainPygar]

Aye, the protagonist/narrator is clearly awful person from the start but he is telling the story and he is thinking that his actions are justified. So to me it was a study on how a sick mind works and twist things.

[@starlite04]

@@CaptainPygar I think, even if he was a decent person, Lo probably would had tried to seduce him... but wouldn't had gotten anywhere.

[@Slithera]

@@starlite04 Iirc Dolores is 12-13 at the beginning of the book, 12 year olds don't "seduce" adult men, or anyone for that matter. That's a lie that the unreliable narrator is telling you.

[@atinyevil1383]

CaptainPygar agreed. It was actually something Geek Remix brought up in one of their recent playthroughs because the ending of the game ended up being a situation where everyone in the game was very obviously projecting the same kind of ideals shown in Lolita onto this girl who is the subject of the game.

[@zegobou]

The book is great from a literary standpoint, it's one of the best known examples of unreliable narrator. It's perfectly okay to like it because of this. The book does NOT condone pedophilia or child grooming. Unfortunately it is often misunderstood as such, which is extremely worrisome.

OMG 2001: An Anime Odyssey! The guy at the very beginning that yells, 'everybody love sailor moon'? I used to go to his house and watch anime when I was a teenager. Worse, I met him through his online fansub distro (we used to send blank VHS tapes and a money order to random strangers online, and they would record whatever anime we requested onto those tapes and mail them back to us... because we were FOOLS! and the internet was a very new place). He was the only person that had Sera Myu, and when I realized while filling out my money order that he lived in my town, I contacted him to ask if I could GO TO HIS HOUSE AND GIVE HIM THE MONEY ORDER. He then invited me over for an anime viewing party AND I WENT. The good news is, he was a totally sweet guy, and I ended up having a blast every time I went over to his place. Still. As a mom now, I'm very disappointed in myself. I used to carry an 8mm camera with me to every anime con I went to, and I have loads of footage from cons in the early 2000's (starting with AWA 2000 and Anime Expo 2000). I'd usually vid capture the footage and upload it to my website for my friends to watch (this was well before YT) or transfer it onto VHS and send them all copies. I'm very ancient and my bones hurt.

I literally just found your channel today and have been putting them on in the background while I do stuff but then I came to this one and had to sit down and actually watch because I just kept remembering the con days of the early 2000s. Those were the days when I had to stop including Lolita fashion in my art because people both in and out of the community gave me such a hard time about it. It was at that time when wealth was making an extra huge difference in the community and people with more money had stricter rules to keep people with less money out. My designs weren't considered "real" Lolita by the "experts" around where I lived because "real" Lolita had to come from Japan. Twenty years later, here I am, rambling to a Lolita KZbinr (sorry) all to say that several hours of shuffling through your videos has inspired me to start drawing Lolita again, so thank you.

[@Fenrisaconite]

Personally, I don't have an issue with hanging out in lolita without shoes if you're on grass or at home. I've been to a few picnics where everyone had barefeet until we had to go somewhere or leave, because you don't want to cover your heels in mud and grass, and because it's just more comfortable. In 2010 my comm had their ILD at a beach that was 3 hours away for everyone attending. No one kept their shoes on. Our feet hurt. We had a lolita olympics with like school gala type events (sack race, egg-and-spoon, skipping rope race, etc.) and there would have been no way to do that in lolita shoes.

9:38 While there were NO kamikaze pilots who were women, there was a rather dark series of events that involved a group of schoolgirls who were assigned to the base where the pilots trained thanks to the school's location to the base in Chiran, Kagoshima Prefecture, one example involved them cutting their fingers "filling the red sun with their blood". Another involved their close contact with the pilots, who were themselves teenagers and the mental damage inflicted by the news of said pilots' deaths during their campaigns. The only reason why these visits even stopped at all was because the US won at the infamous Battle of Okinawa and from there, made a beeline for Kyushu and the rest of the Japanese mainland, where the base was bombed as a result of the success of the grim and total violence of the Island-Hopping campaign (while an iconic mark of US strategic genius, the underestimation of Japanese military policy would leave scars on the minds of both sides of the Asian Theatre, particularly on the American, British and ANZAC Allied forces).

[@WrathsBride]

At 10:51 or thereabouts, that's the Hartford Convention Center in Connecticut. I'm guessing it was for CTcon (or Connecticon). It usually takes place in July. 2009 was before my time, though. I went to my first convention in 2012! Side note: I'm not surprised that the subjects of the documentary seem to be highly educated young women. Connecticut (and the east coast in general, as you probably know) is well known for its good school system, and colleges like Yale and UConn. That's why the comment about them liking the novel didn't shock me; I think they might've been able to study it in depth and appreciate it for what it's trying to say. It's beautifully written, truly, but that doesn't mean they agree with the narrator! Connecticut is also home to a lot of wealthy residents, which is probably how the ladies were able to afford their co-ords at a time when lolita was not as accessible... and not have to worry about getting their stuff so dirty.

[@babyangelic]

I wish I could explore Lolita fashion but my family seems kinda weird about it. I'm 22 and just for having cute things in my bedroom they are bothered. What should I do?

[@Slithera]

I think the first stage is to talk to your family about it, tell them what it is, why you like it, show them pictures of the style (classic lolita is generally considered the least "extreme" so I recommend starting with that), address any concerns they may have etc. You know your family better than anyone in this comment section so you have a better idea how to talk to them and how they might react, but I suggest preparing yourself with some links to documentaries about the fashion that they can watch; Lace & Petticoats, Lolitas Of Amsterdam by Style Out There, and the lolita fashion episode of Weird Threads are the best ones that immediately come to mind, and you can find them all on youtube. I also suggest that you mention the name of the fashion *after* you're done explaining and showing what it is; this isn't universal but some people tend to jump to conclusions when they hear the name lolita, and it could be difficult to change their minds afterwards. If they continue to be bothered after all this and even try to prevent you from wearing the fashion, I'm afraid that in that case the best suggestion would be to just wait to wear it until you move out. Hopefully it doesn't come to that though! Also, don't be discouraged if your family doesn't accept it right away or thinks it's weird or silly, it's possible they'll learn to at least respect it because it's something that makes you happy. I wish you the best of luck! ❤️

I've been dying to read "Lolita" because I've seen the film (97) and I liked it a lot! It was sort of this twisted view from the narrators part and I don't think anything he did was really justified to anyone but himself, even Lo seemed to hate him. I heard the book is even better at that, making the narrator even more unreliable. I just like literature and storyteller in general because I'm a film student lol

[@leadandelion5127]

That book is literary the reason why detective genre became a thing, and why so many great works could be created - it did NOT follow the HERO. It is the very first work in classic literature that made you understand the ANTAGONIST and people were sooooo mad at first at the author, how dare he trick them like that and so on but eventually this was recognized as the storytelling breakthrough it is. Also the Lolita was until at least 2010 unsurpassed from language use viewpoint as masterpiece, Nabokov was HUGE language nerd and that book has so many clever layers and playing on small similarities between words or phrases or slang it's absolutely crazy. And just the sheer number of never repeated words he used for writing that book. Nabokov was mad level linguistic genius. He also found the character completely terrible and was genuinely surprised that anyone would think he the author in any way support the characters's actions, Nabokov thought that the very moment of naming the main protagonist that bad sounding weird name is clear sign he, Nabokov, does not want anyone to like the character and on the contrary, wants the reader to dislike the character the more the further you read the book. On the lolitas liking the Lolita question, there are many lolitas who in fact like the book as great literature work, but it is not something you are going to talk about with camera-armed interviewers typicaly.

[@SkyeID]

@@leadandelion5127 I don't know how you get past the REVULSION of the fact that this is a story about a man repeatedly raping his stepdaughter over the course of 2 years. Also, Nabakov wrote stories about grown men sexually abusing underage girls at least 4 other times before he wrote Lolita. Makes me wonder if he was an active pedo, or if he simply derived pleasure from retelling the story of child sexual abuse over and over again.

It seems a lot closer to cosplay than a personal style. Also why is it a big deal that those girls took their shoes off while they were in the grass?

[@princessofstars666]

I get your point, but I think Lor was confused more than anything else

[@kurokagamine]

there is an intresting article about Boystyle ,that mentions Kodona www.wunderwelt.jp/libre/en/15580/ if Ouji is supposed to be a prince ,kodona is just a young victorian boy of the working class and I think if the model on this show could wear oxfords instead boots the whole look could be better

"We didn't know what we were doing in 2009." Lmao I don't know what I'm doing in 2020. :)

[@hopipp]

I think it’s great that they were barefoot in the grass...getting to feel the earth yet also being able to feel their sweet glamorous fashion. 🌹

[@HaleyEden]

Yes please do a video on the handbook!! :)

[@spicysabsroll9022]

[@heyy_trixxy]

This isn't relevant to the video but will we ever see Clown Lor again? Lovely Clown? Clown-lita? I miss her. I'm not demanding anything, more like thinking out loud.

[@SignsOnTheWalls]

Lor, let the ladies enjoy the feeling of grass on their feet!

[@AngryMothNoises]

[@dwinniec]

"Original Video" link is now private, it looks like.

[@Grace-ms7un]

Lol lolitas were real and touched the grass back then! They were in touch with nature! And they had shoes but they took them off because it's summer and it's hot 🔥 🥵 it's normal for the olders of us from the 2009s to go barefoot on a good patch of grass.

[@pamelajohnson5859]

13:00 was a much appreciated statement.

[@thatonejellifish1563]

I know this is about a year old but I love your wig here!!
