Well, that wasn't what I took from your secret, but on that part I can agree with you a bit. I don't think those pictures you posted are good enough for any sort of publication but, well, there they are. But at the same time I have seen good lolita and if it works for someone, then it works for them. It certainly won't work for everyone, but can't the same thing be said of most fashion?

Theonly thing I would say is that EGL designers market their products like their fashion should be for everyone by blasting it across pop culture - that's why you see so many teenie boppers shelling out their parents' money for these ridiculously expensive dresses, or older women bulldozing their bodies into outfits that are just totally wrong for them. I wouldn't say the same applies to most fashion - couture, to be sure, but then again how many people really think they have what it takes to wear couture? Most commercial fashion is usually designed with the everyday person in mind, and so long as you choose the right size and color, it generally doesn't provoke the kind of "OMG WTF" reaction that, yeah, lolitafucks got. (Kill me.)

I can accept EGL as an edgy sort-of subculture, but as a fashion? Maybe more like a fad, and one that I hope goes away in time.

So yeah, it's not for everyone and it shouldn't be advertised as such. I agree with you on that. Its definitely not the same as commercial fashion, but there is a niche market for it. I'm certainly not going to go out and buy it, but I'm not going to bash it either, and I like looking at it occasionally like I do other fashions.

It probably is a fad, but I still don't see how that makes it any less fashion. Maybe I just have a broader idea of what fashion means. To me, it's clothes. Just that. Well no, that's probably not completely right. Fashion to me is something with a definable style, and you can't deny that lolita is definable, for better or worse.
