Sounds like trolls! The whole "Lolita is only for ___ race" is so old... boring! Troll needs to stay up to date with what's hot in the drama world!

;P I know you'll keep doing what you love and what suits you ^u^b

April said...

I enjoy your blog! Great to hear you aren't letting stupid trolls get to you.
Lolita is for everyone that loves it.

Geez, I can't believe people sometimes. I've been told before I can't pull off lolita because I'm too tall (5'10") and I just ignore that kind of NOISE. Anyone can pull off lolita, if they're willing to put in the work to make sure they're doing it correctly. I pity anyone who genuinely believes your fashion choices should be dictated by your ethnicity. *shakes head*

Haha, the whole fact of JAPANESE PEOPLE dressing up like EUROPEAN PORCELAIN DOLLS is ironic enough, so there's also nothing wrong with other races wearing that style. Why do some people think everything needs stupid rules? There are no rules in fashion!!

About the Disney Princess comment, there IS actually a new African American Disney princess from the movie The Princess and the Frog :)

Amelie Rose said...

I can't believe the backwards attitudes of some people! I'm glad to hear that you're not paying them any attention - may you keep being wonderful! :3

It's a shame that there are people like these in the world. Everybody can wear eveything. Regarless of ethnicity. African-American or African-Brazilian lolitas are as gorgeous as any other white or asian lolita. By the way the last disney princess are African-American.

Good Lord! People actually say these things? I mean, let alone to your face. Ugh. Modern society, it can get sickening at times, I fear.

All the same, please keep rocking the Lolita and Himegaryu style, because, quite frankly, you rock something awesome~

As for those people who give you grief? Forget them. Unfortunately, they're just an extension of just how far our society has to go in ridding ourselves of racial discrimination.

(Besides that, you look WAY cuter in frills than the picture in my head of the booty jeans and whatnot. Stick with what makes you happy, dearie~)

Sparklewolfie : Lately trolls seem to have run out of drama ideas. Thank you! I think lolita fashion suits you as well.

April: Thank you! I would never let some anonymous online troll sway my opinions. I agree with you.

mewy: I have been told that I should not wear lolita because of my height was well. I agree with you. If we take the time to work hard anyone can look good in lolita.

★ASU★: I agree. Fashion is about self expression and having fun. I do not think it is a matter of rules. I think they were trying to hurt my feels and make me want to quit dressing up.

Lady Kristen said...

Jacqueline : I know about Tiana. I thought the The Princess and the Frog was adorable. I meant to say that I could understand receiving nasty e-mails if I were saying that I was a Disney Princess or wearing doll make-up.

Amelie Rose: Thank you! I wonder never listen to sock puppet trolls. I shall try to remain wonderful. You do the same.

Madrepérola: Some people have nothing better to do with their boring lives than try to start drama. I agree clothing does not racially discrimination. People should be able to wear what they want. I know about Tiana. I thought the The Princess and the Frog was adorable.

harraarial: Yes, there are amazingly people in the world that still think that way. Lolita and himegyaru fashion are indeed awesome. I plan to rock them for a rather long time. Thank you! ❤

Wow, the ignorant people in the world. As if there's a specific wardrobe for certain ethnic groups. Good for you--ignore the haters because,seriously, you've got too much of a life to bother. Also, doll collector here: those are adorable!!

Cherrypop said...

being new to lolita and black its saddens me a little because people are still on this race issue even in our small lolita community.but i do not let others discourage me from doing what i want. anyone can pull off the lolita look it just depends on how much effort they put into it..

Lady Kristen said...

beata-beatrixx : I agree with you. Thank you! ❤ The second doll is so adorable. I don't collect dolls, but I kind of want to buy her.

Cherrypop: I agree. If everyone put more effort into their ensembles and appearance we can all be excellent lolita. Never give up on something you love, because someone in the world has a sour opinion.

I support you. I am black and a huge fan of lolita fashion. I've seen many racist comments about dark skin and black hair. It makes me feel awfully sad.

Tanaie said...

...Oooh the irony of it all.
To think that Lolitas who constantly complain about sometimes being judged in public, have the nerve to judge others! Another lolita at that! (To go as low as trolling is quite awful)
And simply because of her skin color! *Sigh* I suppose humans will be humans. Then again I suppose no one is spared. Whether your to big, too thin, too tall, too small, not pretty enough, not Japanese enough...
Why have the standards been set so high?

Anyway I really do appreciate seeing your post on this matter. I'm also a "mixed chick" ! (Half Jamaican half German). When I decided I wanted to be a Lolita, I had all this worry that other lolitas might not recognize me as one. I was worried that I'd simply be seen as a brown girl in a frilly dress. But then I remembered that being a lolita is about dressing for yourself. Making yourself happy, and no one else.
I think I look absolutely adorable as the Sweet Lolita that I am, and no skin colour of mine changes that.

Lady Kristen said...

Anonymous: It is awful that people make those kind of comments. But we cannot do anything about them. All we can do is enjoy ourselves with the hobbies we love.

Tanaie: It is good to see another dark skinned lolita that is unaffected by others. When I first started dressing lolita I feared I would be an outcast because of my skin color too. I feel in love with the lolita fashion at first sight and was determined that enjoy myself and not care what others thought. I am very happy I did.

It's ridiculous to think that in such a small, inclusive community such as Lolita that people would want to ostracize it further by limiting what race can wear the fashion.

And then people wonder why Lolitas have such a bad rep for being mean! You get one (or few) person ruining it for the majority. :/

Bluie said...

Oh, that second doll is really cute. *huggels*
I really don't see how anyone should hate people because of race/skin/ belief or what ever. It seems they are stuck in the dark ages that they get hung up on such small details and don't actually focus on who a person is.
We are all beautiful in every way though some actions can be truly disgusting but that is something we can control and it is made by choices. Just as the person(s) are trolling you, they have become very disgusting. Where as you are staying very beautiful by trying to dis-prove them in public and showing that they cruelness doesn't make you any less wonderful.

Lady Kristen said...

Christina: I agree. But as a whole we are a nice group of girls. The only thing we can do is be nice and hope all the good outweighs the bad.

Bluie: Thank you! I completely agree with you. Internal ugliness is disgusting. But sadly there are still thousands of people that hate others for their differences.

Oh my god! That doll is so adorable! Where can I get it?

Anyway, that idiot doesn't even now what they're talking about. The clothing they described is worn by many different races, not just black people. Their arguement is irrelevant. Lolita wear is also uncommon for white people,hispanic people, even asian people! Though it is most popular in an asian country, that's just one country. It's not even mainstream there. I'm not bashing lolita, or anyones choices.
I don't mean to offend anyone by saying black or white because frankly someone who you call "african american" might be neither african nor american. I know this blogger specifically stated so, but I know indians confused as being african. And they're not even american, they're british!
There's my rant for the day.

I think it's great that you're mature enough to just brush them off, you truly are an inspiration to me.

I consider myself a "lolita in training" I'm still learning and have yet to buy my first dress. But i've often been told I could not pull of being a lolita because i'm shorter. I'm only 4'9, but that isn't going to stop me from being a full lolita someday! Thank you again for being such an inspiration to me~
