While it is small, there most certainly is a loli scene in SL! It’s grown quite a bit since this article was written. While i do not like Nomine’s loli stuff, there’s a wonderful place in Caledon – it has rose in the name, i believe – that puts out what i believe to be the best loli garb in SL. Elka Lehane also makes an AMAZING loli ensemble, and some other folks have gotten into the fray recently with primarily positive results.

i used to dress all loli all the time IRL; i eventually moved towards wearing deathrock (old-school goth/punk) clothing mixed with some loli elements and a lot of Victorian finery. i was repelled by the immaturity of the American lolita scene, which is dominated by snooty 16-year-old purists, and felt that my creativity of dress was stifled. However, i continue to love the style, and i doubt i’ll ever abandon it entirely.

in second life i only dress like lolita (because in rl i can’t in Chile we don’t have any stores!), and i don’t think i’m a “lolita” is not a life style like gothics or vampires, it’s just a fashon thing, also i love anime and all things related with japan, but i ‘m not an otaku (i have more life than anime), i hate girls that act like anime girls there are so annoying, i talked with real japanese lolis (not just gothic, sweet lolis and elegant lolis also), they don’t have an idea for life about loli thing, not like others sub cultures that love dead and things like that, lolis just dress cute and that’s all.
pd: my english sucks i know =P i speak spanish.

Forgot to put something else in the post, is that most lolita skirts and dresses are knee length.

I know what you mean about the few lolitas in sl, so far the ones that I have found are part time lolitas or band girls. But also in order to be a true lolita you have to adapt to a certain lifestyle, that doesn’t mean acting like you fell out of a anime either (like the painful lolitas. The reason why they are called painful lolitas is because other real lolitas don’t accept that they are lolitas. Mostly because of the cheap clothes and the way they act like girls off animes.) But also, remember that there is a lolita maid fetish, and also remember that real lolitas don’t wear maid dresses all the time.

Something also to know, that many lolitas have been criticizing the childish way some lolitas talk. In short the best way to know the culture is to be a part of it, not just study.

Nice article, Kendra! Great look for you!
Munchflower Zaius aka Nomine has some nice Lolita styles as well, as does Keara Morgan!

Do they also clean houses because the girl in the pics looks like a gothic maid.

Nothing we’ve made up lately has come close to what’s actually taken place over the last couple of months, so we’ve sent our story-maker-uppers for some refresher courses at the Iowa fiction workshop. You’ll have to content yourself with the news for the time being, Dis, our apologies.

Why would you even publish this blog rant crap on an e-newspaper. Get back to making up stories about griefer threats ok!
