Yes. That much was obvious, if somewhat defeating of the goal of a Masquerade, given how attendees typically attempt to hide their identities. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆

Most people associate 'lust' with 'sexual overtones'. This is simple word association. Yes, lust does mean a yearning. Most people will not jump to that conclusion over the sexual meaning of the word. Understand that and adjust accordingly. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆

I need pawple to associate with reading and books and learning words I'm not adjusting to idiocracy...ᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ

Perhaps you should learn how people will interpret your word choices. For example, by using the word 'lust' in association with an event that has previously had nsfw content, people may make believe that a 'Lolita lace lust' theme endorses lustful themes. Lustful as in sexual. You cannot ignore the common association with a word simply because you prefer a lesser-used meaning. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆

Lolita is an alt subculture. ؛ଓut Decora Lolita and Gothic Lolita do not mix well as-is. A key part of Lolita Fashion is that it looks good. It is very possible to mix them, such the way I have commented on doing so. ؛ଓut they will look bad just smashed together. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆

@emergentJobhopper[EJ]

oh i wasnt saiein lolita isnt alt im just saiein you're ascribin a lotta rules to concepts also like how do i put this "a keie part of lolita fashion is that it looks good" is kind of a crazie thing to saie like........... hi yeah looking good is the point of fashion its also subjective as fuck? save judgin til you see the outfit after she posts a pic thennnn you can get your judge on

I am not ascribing rules to concepts. I am detailing the rules of a rule-heavy fashion style. An outfit cannot be called Lolita unless it follows said rules. As for judging: I am attempting to help people avoid pitfalls before they put together their outfits, rather than judging them after the fact. That seems cruel, and I am only 'cruel' to those who try to wrong me. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆

I plan on using bones, small taxidermy pieces and vintage medical supplies as accessories in mass, my own hybrid of such things I suppaws...ᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ

I see. That is simply Gothic Lolita, then. Or perhaps the OTT Gothic (Over-The-Top Gothic) substyle depending on the amount of accessories and some finer details. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆

Yes, it was. And yes, you do. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆

A few words of warning and caution, as well as advice. Heed this. Lolita Fashion is not a 'sexy' fashion. Whilst it does have a gothic substyle, said substyle is not sexualised. Lolita fashion is a modest fashion that is often misrepresented. If you want to wear Lolita fashion to this event, DO NOT wear a skimpy outfit and call it Lolita. It is not. Lolita has specific guidelines that MUST be followed for an outfit to be considered Lolita. The outfit shown in the announcement photo is a very normal and good Lolita coordinate. Note the skirt length, the coverage, and the fact that it is not a 'maid dress'. 1: You MUST wear a skirt that falls to the knee. A little above is fine. ؛ଓelow to mid-calf is fine. HALFWAY UP YOUR THIGH IS NOT LOLITA. I mean it. Do NOT wear a short skirt and pretend it counts as Lolita. It does not. 2: You MUST wear a petticoat or crinoline to ensure the skirt is the correct silhouette. This is non negotiable. It is the silhouette that forms a fundamental part of a Lolita outfit. Said silhouette is a 'cupcake'/'bell' shape OR an A-line, like a triangle. The petticoat is underwear and should not be displayed as part of the dress. 3: No breasts/spheres out. Again, this is not a sexualised fashion. Some other things: Your dress MUST have straps at the very least, preferably with a blouse underneath. Lolita is a detailed, intricate fashion. Cheap fabrics will make your outfit look bad. Try to wear a matching headpiece to balance out the volume of the skirt. There is a substyle called 'ero-Lolita'. This is a very difficult substyle to pull off unless you are extremely experienced in the fashion. I am only noting its existence to avoid someone acting like I do not know of it. I do. It is a bad idea for anyone trying Lolita as a beginner. Please do not attempt this substyle. You do not have to wear black for a Lolita outfit to fit in the 'gothic' substyle. Obviously, you do not have to wear Lolita fashion to this event, but if you do want to wear it, you MUST follow the basic rules to have your outfit considered as Lolita. Those who have interacted with me will know that I do not say this lightly: Please, Chittr. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆

An addendum: There is a 'sister' style to Lolita known as 'Ouji', which I would personally consider acceptable for this event. The only differences between Ouji and Lolita is that one wears shorts or trousers when wearing Ouji (rather than a skirt), and that the styling is slightly more 'masculine'. The shorts are NOT short-shorts. It is just as detailed, covered, and of high quality as Lolita. As with Lolita, latex and leather should be used sparingly rather than as the main clothing pieces. ⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆
