Cosplayers don't like the Reader writer coming in costume
Excuse me, I'm well aware of what Lolita, the book, is. The reason why it is called that is because it was lost in translation by the Japanese girls who named the fahsion 'lolita', so please do not tell me that I am a little girl who is sexually devious with older men. That is extremely offensive when I just told you that the fashion has nothing to do with the novel, and gave you the explanation as to what the fashion is about (last time I checked, modesty is the opposite of being sexually deviant). You seem to be a generally rude person so your opinion isn't valued by me anyways. I'm pretty sure I know a whole lot more than you do when it comes to the lolita fashion, as I've been a member of the community for 4 years. As for the book, I've never read it.— January 21, 2013 10:52 p.m.

Just to clarify, as a Lolita myself, Lolita style is a Japanese street-fashion, which is *totally and completely unrelated* to cosplay and Nobokov's literature. It is all about modest, acting like a princess, and looking like a doll. It is supposed to be very lady-like an elegant. It is a fashion style, not a costume. It is based off of victorian and french rococo-era garments and dresses for women, and there are different 'styles' of Lolita, such as "Sweet Lolita" which is very cutesy and doll-like, "Gothic Lolita" which is dark colors and gothic themes, and "Classic Lolita" which is very fancy and aristocrat-like (however aristocrat is an entirely different fashion style), most closely based off victorian and french rococo dresses. There is a San Diego Lolita Fashion community that I am apart of. We love to dress up in our nice outfits and go do things like iceskate, go out for tea and biscuits, and have dinner/dessert parties. The fashion is extremely expensive (quality dresses alone, no accessories included (which can also be extremely pricey) are anywhere from $100-1000 dollars) and is meant to be very, very elegant and suave. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashion— January 9, 2013 6:38 p.m.
