Who is a "Lolita"?

"Momoko" from Kamakazi Girls- the lolita inspired movie
When I first bought the "Gothic and Lolita" book I wondered: Who are theese people? What's going through thier minds when they decide to dress like this?
Well, it came to me when I started to develop a taste for the lolita style: Lolitas are individuals. They have embraced self-expression at it's height and taken full control of it.
Self-expression isn't taught in the average school. It isn't the primary focus of the average adult when you're young but, it's still vastly important for a child's development.
Some people don't appreciate the lolita culture. If I could look them all in the eyes I would say: This isn't about YOU or what YOU think is appropriate. This is about what's important. To the individual, to the public, and most of all... to the world.
I guess some people don't really understand the future. They don't know this generation is going to make it brighter...
I think lolita is a sign that we can make the future whatever we want it to be.

I couldnt have said it better! I think I dress differently because I want people to know who I am. I want to be different and unique and stand out in a crowd. I dress the way I want to and don't care about what others think, and if they do, well at least im noticed. Some people would say that I seek attention, and the truth is, I do. I don't know how, or why, but I just crave attention. I hate blending in with the crowd and looking the same as everyone. I want to shock people and be eccentric. Lol many people say I should become an actress 1. because of my talent and 2. because of my individuallity (do you notice everyone whos famous is somewhat eccentric?)

I am a lolita for life! X_^ I tend to get strange looks when I am able to dress in the style, but lots of compliments, too. Any rude comments people make do not affect me at all, in fact I barely notice. I'm much too distracted by the joy of dressing in lolita. Most people seem to like my style, actually. But really lolita is about what each individual wearer likes and what works for them and that's what so great about it.
