This is such a delightful little book of poems! I got it at a local book shop and feel like anyone could enjoy

This is just the cutest!!!!
My poor kumya’s look like they’ve seen god and didn’t like what they saw. Doing this did give me a greater appreciation of the intricacy of the print though.
I finally joined egl on livejournal so I could read an essay I was dying to read! I really Princess Love Being Mean, I thought it would be an interesting place to go because with my own journey with being a lifestyle Lolita I haven’t really factored being “mean” or “rebellious” into it, I often have the aspirational image of trying to be like a heroic magical girl or a virtuous disney princess. However in this brief essay that doesn’t seem to be what Takemoto-san is talking about, it seems to be more about making sure to put yourself first in situations in a lot of it. That I can agree can be off putting to others but is important to do. What threw me off of that a little though was when he said he was a big fan of models or actresses when he found out they were a nightmare to work with. I think that explains a little about Momoko as a protagonist.
1.) Sweet Poison Cupcake
I am the most realistically going to be able to go to this store! I discovered it on Tiktok and it’s only a couple hours away from me! Also I follow the owner on social media and they seem really cool
2.) BtSSB + AP San Francisco
My favorite ballet is Swan Lake and that’s technically based on a fairy tale, I’ve wanted to do an Odette inspired coord for awhile now and I’m very happy with how it turned out
Here I’ll have a mix of places you are most likely to find lolitas in Vermont and places that have a cute theme but we have yet to go!
1.) Church Street, Burlington.
You are the most likely to run into someone wearing Lolita fashion on Church Street! Many meetups happen there and it’s where many college kids hang out. I found a now member of my current comm in a Starbucks randomly one day.
2.) My Little Cupcake
This has been a popular place for meetups through the years and perfectly on theme!! It’s also in Burlington
3.) Hana, Japanese Restaurant
This is a wonderful restaurant that I’ve been to many times! The staff is always wonderfully accommodating of our meets. It’s been a little while
4.) Kitty Korner Cafe, Barre, VT
This has been a favorite of mine recently! Due to the pandemic we haven’t been able to have a full meet there but I adore going and can’t wait to plan one once it’s safe again to do so. I feel as if cat cafe’s are a classic
5.) Shelburne Museum
This is a popular meetup place as well! Sadly I haven’t been able to go to any because I swear there is a curse on this meet in our comm
6.) The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory!
This was an extraordinary meet and even though we only went once it was so fun and so one theme for everyone it was one of the best and most fun meets we’ve done.
7.) Each Other’s Houses!
I feel I really took for granted the luxury of so many members of my comm often hosting out of their homes, it was always a super fun and affordable way to have a meet up, and it’s probably the meets that I miss the most right now.
So I decided to try one of the hairstyles in the video below!! It seemed a good cross of some of my interests!
I decided to try to do the heart buns!! They’re a bit messy since my hair is shorter but I think it’s cute!
My comm has a discord that we use with a dream dress channel! I didn’t want to share anyone’s peesonal info so it was perfect! Below is some of the dresses on the channel, but by no means all of them
I have ADHD something I’m pretty open about on my social media but this is something that makes caring for my Lolita clothes pretty difficult from time to time and I wanted to share practical advice for making your life easier when you are taking care of your Lolita fashion clothes
1.) Have two laundry baskets, one for clothes that can go through the washer no problem and one for handwash only clothing that way you don’t accidentally ruin petticoats or brand
2.) Don’t be afraid of the washer for more sturdy pieces, but when in doubt line dry.
3.) On that note, have a place where you can easily hang things to dry, I’m blessed to have a porch with a clothesline but if you don’t have that invest in a drying rack that you can set next to a sunny window
4.) Get a clothing steamer, mini iron and ironing board and be sure to store it near your wardrobe so you will actually use it
5.) Pick one day of the week to accomplish hand washing tasks and stick to it that way your brand doesn’t sit in a ball for weeks on end
6.) Don’t be afraid to go professional with more tricky pieces
