How many nicknames for lolita can you think of?
Here is a piece of old news: lolita looks ridiculous. Really ridiculous. There are bows. There is lace. Strange undergarments. Bizarre headwear.
Yes, we love it. Some lolitas define themselves by it. We wear it at the most inappropriate times, just because we can. We walk down the street in it, while other girls our age stick to their jeans and pumps. We are proud of our fashion. It’s who we are.
But for other people, we’re still the silly girls in the silly clothes. And what I think we often forget is that this is a simple truth. We take ourselves too seriously. We are silly girls in silly clothes. Isn’t that part of the fun?
We, as a whole, need to laugh a little more. It is a documented fact that laughter makes you feel, think, and even look better.
You’ve got a giant bow on your head. Isn’t that hilarious?

I agree with this so much! Someone once posted in lolita secrets ‘Sweet lolitas look ridiculous’. I think all lolitas look ridiculous, relative to ‘normal’ clothes. And magnificent, too! It’s part of the charm of wearing it I think.
People should try to take things a *little* less seriously, it could make everything more fun ^_^

I agree with this as well. I also think that it’s the same way with other things, such as anime/manga, books, cartoons, sitcoms and such… And as an old friend of mine (and probably hundreds of other peeps too) had said: “If you can’t laugh at your own fandom, you’re not a true fan.” xD
