As loli myself, I can say that those pictures really aren't the best example of the fashion. I know no one that would wear such a...large bonnet, and to be honest, bonnets aren't a huge staple in the fashion nowadays - at least for the North American/European community. It is overpriced and can be impractical, but honestly, it's in no way demeaning. If you know what suits you, and know how to coordinate (hair, dress, make-up) you can really make the fashion look nice. :/ And there are so many subsets to the fashion: aristocrat, punk, pirate, sweet - it's not all pink, frills, and baby bonnets.

...and, yeah, Tim Gunn would probably beat a loli with her own parasol if seen the street. D< But from my personal experience, I've gotten many more good comments about the fashion from normal everyday people, including straight-laced businesswoman. Fashion is not only about how people perceive you, but what you feel comfortable in. ._.;

I don't think it's demeaning at all.

The demeaning factor is only part of it. Basically, my main problems with the loli genre can be summed up as follows: too expensive, costume-y but ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT accept itself as such, and containing so many obscene, nit-picking rules that it seems like an exclusive Girls Club at times (by which, I mean, most of the time). And while I understand that fashion - or high fashion, which I personally don't consider EGL to be - is and will always be a luxury and a privilege, this particularly trend is clearly geared towards the teenage market. These are people who don't even make money yet, and because of that, I think the trend promotes negative ideas about fashion in young people.

I think my feelings about actually good EGL (it exists) would be pretty similar to how I would approach a haute couture gown - pretty, but I would be hard-pressed to think of five occasions in my life when wearing it would be appropriate.
