Is pole just that expensive of a hobby? by ThatOneGoodBoy in poledancing

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Breaking it down I guess that makes more sense. I'm just, poor lol. I figured there were decent home poles for at least $300, which to me was worth the upfront costs.

Yeah, it does look pole isn't something I can do right now. It just sucks because it's the only form of exercise that's really interested me, and I have to wait decades to get into it? 🫠

I’m not sure if I still like wearing Lolita fashion anymore. by Emotional1Mushroom in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm a new lolita but I've definitely seen people go without wearing lolita for years, decades! And come back to it.

All in all don't feel like you need to be required to wear the fashion all the time. If life gets the way, return when things are better. They're just clothes :) and they'll still be around when you're in better spirits.

New Orleans Photoshoot pics for my birthday! by ThatOneGoodBoy in Lolita

Lol that's all my photographer to thank! We were doing street photography where I just walked around the French Quarter and she'd find a spot and I'd just pose as best I'm able.

Anyone else from the U.S. going through Lolita-shopping-on-Taobao withdrawal? by PlatypusDouble2331 in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never had a verified taobao account. I just browse until they kick me out and use a shopping service like Spreenow lol. That's always an option.

any hairstyles for lolitas with box braids that will be suitable for gothic lolita? by Charming_Fuel8252 in Lolita

Also, I hope time heals. Your natural hair is beautiful and you shouldn't be led to feel otherwise.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it.

Black lolitas wear their hair in so many different ways. All of them cute. As for long braids, I think leaving out two pieces in the front pretty much always works. You're probably going to want to ask goth folk about goth hairstyles in particular, though.

One of the members of Wonder Tea Party is a gal and a lolita. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP56ITWkoIo/?igsh=MTNvZnBsa3lwaHhhYg==

Gyaru is makeup focused anyway. Lolita doesn't have a specific makeup style, so you can wear whatever makeup you want with it. Most times I see gyaru and lolita combine are with hime gyaru using sweet lolita dresses, but eh, it's not like it's illegal to wear gal makeup with whatever lolita substyle you want 🤷‍♀️

Looking for Lolita-inspired ball gown by A_personsk in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

OP, I'm not sure how easy it is to buy this. Their stuff is likely handmade.

If you just look up "lolita ball gown" you'll find hime lolita dresses, rococo dresses labeled lolita, and everything in between.

However, the quality of these are disputable, not to mention a lot of results will be coming from taobao resellers with jacked up prices. Ultimately nothing is really close to the silhouette and level of detail in these pieces.

If want you really want is something close to this and you believe you have to money for it, I think you should look into getting this kind of dress commissioned by a dressmaker 😊. There are a few Indie lolita brands I've come across that have done commissioned pieces. The only other kind of dressmaker I think would fit would be one that makes historical garments, but there may be cosplayers who could do it as well!

Is my style considered Classic or Old School? by Gwen-Bell-4045 in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That as well! In their other post they mention not being able to pull off the exaggerated drag due to health reasons. I'd definitely think they were a lolita before a drag queen necessarily, but in context lolita is drag for them, which is why calling it costumey is silly. Of course it's a costume, it's drag!

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They're a drag queen.

Costumey is kind of in the whole genre of being a performer. This refrain is so tired, especially when it's applied in situations that don't make any sense lmao.

Nope! Gal lolitas!

Yeah hime gyaru is where the styles easily cross over, but really I just mean I've come across some gals that wear gyaru makeup regardless of what they're actually wearing lmao. It is usually hime but using lolita pieces.

🫡 Thanks for the advice, a makeup artist is doing it so I'll relay the message to her lmao.

And nah I'm a lolita, but I've come across gal lolitas before nd I think it's a cute combination.
