† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
I was introduced to Gothic Lolita Fashion in 2001. I studied abroad in Hiroshima and went to Tokyo for a week. After my trip to Japan, I started collecting Blythe Dolls and Pullip Dolls. I began dressing my dolls in Gothic Lolita fashion and wanted to dress up myself.
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
I love the innocent little girl look, with a dark/provocative twist.
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
Japanese brands: Angelic Pretty and Baby The Stars Shine Bright. U.S. Brands: Blasphemina’s Closet and Candy Violet.
† Any other comments?
For inspiration I go to www.thisisblythe.com.

Fairytale and storybook villians, little red riding hood, lilliput, Snow White, Rapunzel. Lang Leav art, Goth spooky haunted paintings.

Two more days until the Reader Appreciation Week contest closes… Last chance to comment and win an Akina tuxedo top or Lime Crime makeup! Above are Lang’s haunting paintings of fairytale villains. Can you recognize them all?

    a friend told me about that movie just the other day, planning on watching it next time I'm over at his house. I love that Bai Ling is all over the place. she's done tons of movies and yet noone knows who she is :-p
