† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
Two years ago, a friend showed me some photos from the Gothic & Lolita Bible, and this day I fell in love with this fashion!
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
It’s really girly, elegant, and cute. I just feel happy when I wear Lolita outfits.
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
Angelic Pretty, BTSSB, and Alice and The Pirates.
† Any other comments?
I think that GL isn’t only a fashion, it’s also a culture and a passion. It’s important to know judge of the quality and the motives on the dresses. And I always say: Never forget the power of accessories!

† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
I picked up a Gothic Lolita Bible in my local comic book store a few years ago and was transfixed! I’ve been a goth for a very very long time but i hadn’t found my definitive ‘look.’ I had been looking for a style that screamed my name, something I could be comfortable but pretty in and Gothic Lolita was perfect from the get go. I enjoy shopping for new Gothic Lolita clothing, it’s so rewarding as out of the many goths I know I always stand out amongst them! I’m a show off at heart really : )
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
I love the theatricality of it all, as I said I am a show off at heart and enjoy dressing up.
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
Most of my things are made by a wonderful set of seamstresses I use but when I buy brand I have bought everything from K-Star to Image Plus and Retroscope! I really will try any brand at least once, I won’t just rely on others’ opinions.
† Any other comments?
I love corsets, they make good loli-wear no matter what they are teamed with so get tightlacing!
