I hate my life.

1. Please tell us your Hand Name (name that’s used ONLY in internet.) and hometown.
Godofpoop69/Gobelin Deez. (Like, Gobbling Deez Nuts)
I’m not giving out my hometown wtf but I’m from Massachusetts, USA.

2. About how long is your history as a Lolita?
Almost 4 years I guess!

3. What first motivated you to do Lolita fashion?
My friend looked good in it! She looked like a fairy and I was like :O I needddd to also look like that. She had such cute dresses… I bought one of the same ones as her and I still own it today, haha. It is the babydoll penguin dress from the Chinese brand called Lullaby. It’s white and has pink flowers, bows, and little tiny penguins on it.

4. After knowing Lolita fashion, have you had any time-gap or resistance till you actually started to be Lolita?
Nope! I basically stole my mom’s credit card to buy my first dress, which was a 35 dollar replica from Aliexpress. After that, since I couldn’t get a job for a plethora of reasons, I dug into my savings account of birthday and CNY money which my parents made for me when I was young… bleh

5. Please define your Lolita style as much as possible. (eg. gothic Lolita, sweet Lolita, white Lolita…. Etc).
Oldschool sweet lolita! Or at least I try to be. I have been liking punk lately, though… I’d love to be an oldschool classic lolita, but I feel like all my favorite dresses are expensive and rare, like gobelin teddy trumpet sleeve OP.

6. About how many Lolita friends do you have?
Omg… I can’t count!! I have so many oldschool friends in Boston and online!! Also I have a close friends Discord server of all kinds of lolitas as well. Many online mutual acquaintances too…

7. What is the best thing about doing Lolita?
Becoming someone that you “aren’t”! I love feeling like I’m transported into a fantasy world. I love dressing up my plain ass body.

8. Conversely, what's the worst thing?
I don’t like how the community can be toxic to each other. Also, all my gender non conforming male/crossdresser/MTF friends basically all got cyberbullied as teenagers in the lolita community, which makes me very sad. My friends are not predators or ugly at all…

9. Which Lolita Brands do you like?
ANGELIC PRETTY. Omg, old AP is soooo rare, and I need more. Old baby is cute too! I used to be an IW and meta stan but to be honest, they feel too classic for me. I want to be a cake or a pink flower, not a brown box.

10. What was the first Lolita item that you’ve owned?
Replica of Dollsparty’s Antique Doll OP (which I still own). I only wore it out once, but still give it wear indoors because I already own it anyways. I will always be upfront that it is a replica, though. My first actual dress was an Infanta dress with angels on it. I really regret selling it!

11. What is the “must have!” Lolita item?
For me, it would be ruffle socks and white accessories!

12. Do you wear drawers?
I typically do, but sometimes I just give up when it’s really hot and not windy.

13. Do you have any favourite Japanese music?
Nope. I’m a western goth in terms of music. However, I do like Boris! I went to their 20th anniversary Amplifier Worship concert. Also, a really fun Japanese album that I adore for no reason (not goth or metal) is Wamono Disco.

14. Where do you particularly visit as Lolita?
Lol, my classrooms for lectures. Or, going out in nature so no one stares at me while I take my photos.

15. About how many times per week do you dress as Lolita?
I try to wear my lolita pieces casually every day! I love lifestyling.

16. Please tell us about one embarrassing episode from the time when you were just beginning Lolita.
Um, not me, but I was the one experiencing embarrassment. At my first meetup, a comm member’s +1 was an influencer. She was very kind and funny, but she wanted to film a video sitting in the Tesla at the mall’s Tesla store while shouting out the window “we’re going shopping!!!” Or something. She had the employees take the video… and I stood by as everyone in the mall was looking at us. Yeah um… sometimes influencing is interesting.

17. What's hairstyle and color that you think Lolita would suite the most?
I think all hair colors look amazing for lolita. However, one day I would love to dye my hair a really funky and bright color. As for hairstyle, I think any “neat” hairstyle — short or long —is super cute.

18. Have you ever thought of stopping Lolita? The reason?
Yes, when there was a ton of drama in the community two years ago. Every time I wore lolita, I just felt weird because I got reminded that other lolitas were being crazy to each other. I’m glad I didn’t stop, though!

19. Please tell us your heart's bible as a Lolita. (anything like a book, magazine, CD, idol...)
Uh, I don’t really know if I have a lolita “Bible”. However, I think I got into alternative fashion from the goth subculture, so I would say the Virgin Prunes album “If I Die, I Die” is close to my heart.
Maybe also… the actual Bible? Lol.

20. Do you own a doll? Tell us your feelings about her intensely!
I have sooo many antique porcelain dolls from thrift stores! I also have a BJD and an MJD!! I also have two Blythe dolls and a few Lalaloopsy dolls!!! They are all soooo cute. I love them so much.

21. What kind of make-up do you wear when you wear Lolita clothes?
Just simple ass lipstick + mascara. Sometimes, light colored eyeshadow. Never any eyeliner because fuck that shit.

22. Have you ever secretly changed clothes in a train station bathroom on Lolita day-out?
Yesssss. My first old school meetup… I felt so nervous riding public transport in a coord so I got ready in a mall bathroom and covered up my dress with a giant raincoat.

23. Are you composed when doing Lolita all by yourself?
The fuck? Yes?

24. How much do you spend in your Lolita clothes& accessary monthly?
Depends on how much money I have at the time from my job. My shifts get kind of random and change around a lot. I used to be making like 800 a month as a student worker, and I’d feel so rich and spend like 100 a month man. It wasn’t good… BLEH.

25. What is the most expensive Lolita thing you've bought so far? How much was it?
My stupid ass 2003 Millefeuille jsk which was 192 dollars. It’s really comfy and cute though, and comparably a good deal.

26. So far about how much has the expense been for Lolita goods?
What the fuck?

27. Lolita outfit really costs money. How do you raise money to cover the cost of
A fucking job. What kind of question is this? How the fuck else do you get money? From your parents? From the sugar daddy? Stealing?

28. Have you ever bought from an online store? If so, please tell us its good and bad points and some advice for the future. If not, please tell us why not.
Yep. I live in Massachusetts so uh, our only option is to buy online or at swap meets. Good points = i dont know bruh, convenience. Bad points = if you’re a newbie, it’s easy to fall into a scam site.

29. Even if you sort of want to keep it a secret, please clandestinely tell us about a private manufacturer that is the best.
What the fuck does this mean?

30. Is there a brand and/or an item that you think, "I could never get it! But I unreasonably want it!"?
Yessss, all of meta’s trumpet sleeve OPs!! Antique bouquet… gobelin florals… gobelin teddy… AHHHH.

31. What do you think about people who only do Lolita at music-lives or cosplay?
I don’t give a shit.

32. From what age to what age is it acceptable to do Lolita? Do you think that there's a state in which someone must graduate from
Dumbass POS question. Idk, however old you can afford it. Never stop, never too old.

33. Is there a Lolita fashion or behavior that you think "I don't want Lolitas to do this!" about?
Don’t say fatphobic or transphobic things to minors? Lmao. Uh, otherwise, maybe don’t act a fool at a meetup because that draws more attention to us.

34. Is there something you think "Lolita has to be this way!" about?
Personally, as an old school lolita… I wish all modern lolitas would stop being so goddamn creative LOL. Just kidding, everyone has their own style, and I do not care.

35. While doing Lolita, has something changed from earlier than you did Lolita?
I stopped wearing modern sweet and transitioned into oldschool sweet! It feels more authentic, casual, and rococo inspired to me.

36. Do you go to school/work as Lolita?
Yes!! Only school. I work at an ice cream parlor, so it’s too messy.

37. Do you wear Lolita clothes as casual wear?
Yesss. In the winter, I wear my dresses on top of black bell bottom jeans lol.

38. Do you have a boyfriend (or husband)? Do you understand each other? (I think she meant “Does he understand you (as lolita)?”)
Yes, he’s amazing. We are both nerds (he’s into… war strategy? History? Also Warhammer and anime (about war)) so we don’t really “understand” each other’s hobbies, but we support them!

39. What do the people around you think of your doing Lolita? Do they accept it?
My mom is supportive and thinks it’s funny and cute! My dad… doesn’t react? I’ll walk in a full coord and he’ll just be like, “Hi, what do you want for dinner?” Lol.

40. What kind of Lolita is who has impressed you the most up until now?
Maybe those who own really cool, old, and rare dresses.

41. Have you ever made your own Lolita clothing or/and accessories? If so, what was the best item that you’ve made?
I’ve made simple accessories! I am going to attempt a skirt and blouse set soon :)

42. If you have an ideal Lolita outfit or coordination, please tell us.
I just want to wear a really floofy OP with a cute pattern and look like a giant flower.

43. Is there a motif that you think “this is a simple of Lolita”?
H u h, Do you mean sample? Maybe crowns or bows.

44. Would you want to dress your children as Lolita?
YES!!!! But they might hate it haha. I won’t ever force them to wear it when they are older, but I really want a baby, and I want to dress my baby in frills and pastels.

45. What's your image of the ideal Lolita?
Someone who feels confident in whoever they are, and loves themselves enough to adorn their body with frills :) so basically everyone!

Hi again … so a lot has changed in my lolita life in 2025. The biggest change recently is that I have departed from my local comm, and am now in the pursuit of closer interpersonal friendships with similar tastes and interests in the fashion.

The year started off with a meetup in February to watch Kamikaze Girls. It was a big meetup, and I designed the merch for it, which proudly bore the name of our comm and 2025, sort of implying that there might be a 2026 iteration of the event. In March, I organized a doll meet that was also a fully catered tea party with the help of my friends. Now, I don’t know when I’m going to a comm meet again.



I think back to my very first meetups from when I was in highschool. My first ever meetup was super chaotic, but I met my online friend for the first time in person, and also made new friendships that lasted until today. It was at a mall near my home. It was chaotic, silly, serious, and very, very fun. So many weird people we encountered…



My second meetup was a skating meetup. I was still insecure about wearing lolita outside, so I was rude to employees and only got fully dressed once I arrived. However, the atmosphere was way more comfortable and I slowly got to know people individually. It was raining/snowing, but I couldn’t feel it at all because of how fun it was to talk to everybody there. I remember after the meet, everybody was sending messages of appreciation to each other in the server, saying things like “you guys are what make the comm today so great”. I sent a message like that too.

My first time meeting my old school friends was at an official swap meet. It felt so nice to see other old schoolers for the first time!! I felt like one of the cool kids!!!



I have instagram highlights of every single meet I have ever gone to, from 2022 to now. I was very active in the discord server, messaging probably every day. When the whole “parasol papers” shenanigans were going on, I left all big lolita discord servers, and found peace in the comm server.



However, now that I reflect back on my older experiences, I only have fleeting memories with most of the members. I can call almost everyone an acquaintance… but only a handful of people stuck out to me as close friends.
It was still fun to mingle with acquaintances, though. Having a big community made me assume close friendship with almost everybody, and talking to everyone felt really natural.

Nevertheless, throughout the past few months, there has been a situation that caused pretty much everybody in my close friend group to leave. I do not hold any grudges against any individuals, but I believe that I left for a good reason.

And truthfully, I’m not even that sad.


I feel like I should be sadder. It’s a group that I’ve been a part of since I was 17, and I’m turning 21 soon. Many people in the comm will probably look down on me for ditching the main comm — and well, I already knew that some people looked down on my old school friends and I for being “elitist” and hanging out without the whole comm. I’ve had years of good memories with everyone… but I feel like I’ve already achieved what I’ve come here to achieve.

I came to my local comm to find friends, and I’ve found so many! I have friends I talk to on a daily basis. I have friends that I have deep conversations with. I have friends that I go to goth clubs with. I have friends who talk about the same things as me. Even my acquaintances — I’ve reached out to so many in the past couple days and they’re all on board with hanging out sometime to grow closer. So, I’ve done exactly what I’ve come to my local comm to do. I have so many friends who know why I have left the comm, and they’re still willing to hang out with me.



It was funny because I went from welcoming all the new people to the comm server, patting everyone on the back for their work on meetups, and chatting about food, shopping, etc. to suddenly leaving (on my own accord). I had plans for two meetups but cancelled them both. Everything kind of faded away within a day, and I felt the shift in my daily routine as well, because I usually check the discord server first thing in the morning. When I go to check my phone for new messages, I feel confused when I don’t see the group icon on my discord dock.

Though, I don’t feel that that much has changed in terms of my social life. I don’t feel lonely, because I still talk to the same people. I’m still planning meetups… just with my close friends instead of opening the invites to people I have never met. I get more choice on what to do at meetups when close friends plan them — official comm meets can usually cost 20-40 dollars to attend. Now I can plan free meets that just involve walking around, because I have enough to chat about with my close friends, and I’m not worried about impressing a crowd.



Not to mention that I have close enough friends now for 1 on 1 hangouts! I never thought I’d see the day. I hung out with my friend in Concord to go antiquing, and I will see my online friend when I visit Washington DC this weekend!! So much funnn, and an experience I may not have had if I stuck only to comm organized events.

Also, I think back to when I left all big servers in 2023. My friend started by making a server with all my close friends from Babylita HQ and we still talk almost daily! Leaving was honestly the thing that brought my online friendships closer. Lolita Servita… I love you guyssss.
I think leaving this time made me close to new people too. At last year’s Meta meet, I met a friend who had the funniest sense of humor. I talked to him the other day — saying how I wished we could’ve gotten to know each other more — so we agreed to hang out sometime! This morning I also dmed multiple people who I wanted to stay close to. I’m so excited to see them again.

So, I’ve learned that I’m a people person. I’ve never understood how people want to be a lonelita. I said, I need a comm. But no, what I need is a community. I have a community in my city and online, across the world. It doesn’t have to be the official city comm.



…Although, I will admit that there is one thing I might mourn, which was my growing friendships with many members of the comm mod team. This year especially, I grew close with certain mods at multiple meetups. At the zine meet… at the doll tea… at the aquarium meet… etc.
I will not speak on the issue that caused my friends and I to leave, but it was linked back to disagreements and shortcomings with the moderation. I didn’t agree with their decisions, but the mods were still friends of mine… I hope that one day they will be okay with me enough to speak with me again. While they may not like some of my friends, I still miss the flowering friendships we had. If you are reading this and are one of my old friends, mod or not, please never hesitate to reach out to me <3 I am always willing to build bridges again.

I can’t wait to see what the future of my lolita journey has in store. I want to travel the world and meet lolitas everywhere. I want to get more involved in the Chinese community and better my Mandarin. I want to wear lolita with my roommate. I want to meet my close online friends in real life. I want to see all of Massachusetts with my old school friends.



I think my lolita journey has only just started!!!

It’s been too long … I’m back… heh

Ily if you still read! I left because i was coping with some mental illness shit back then. I’m back, medicated and happy :)

Here’s just. An obligatory post for coords I wore in the past few months. I should really post some group photos of my friends…



Anyways! I got a tripod and editing apps (Linecamera and Wataame Camera)…

My photos go so much better… i’m having so much fun taking photos in the spring outdoors.



The white coord enabled my friend to buy this angel wing bonnet… heh… it’s by Pickybone on Taobao. They were really awesome and even included some stickers of art.
I don’t really love the black coord because the motifs are all over the place, but I was just having fun wearing shit for photos.
I love cutsews and have been getting into them recently… this one is by Peace Now. The English on it is horrible.



I dont really know what I was doing here but I really wanted to make an old plain ass black dress look more interesting! I got the jsk secondhand from a comm member, which was kind of overpriced for what it is. It’s like a 2011 random lucky pack IW dress with missing bows…
I didn’t really tease my hair with any effort. Also, I’ve been liking mini hats recently as well.



I had so much fun wearing this coord and being alice ><
Ignore how my ribbons are untied, lol. Was going to save this coord for a rose garden meetup but I couldn’t wait. I’ve been more confident about posting pics with my face in them!
This dress is my first from Heart E. It’s from like 2002 or something. I have loved fully shirred OPs lately ahhhhh.



Finally… we get to today!! I had soooo much fun wearing this comfy coord and going on a nature trail :) Although walking 3 miles in Mary Janes was really annoying. Some uh. Random old guys talked to me which was kind of weird but i guess they were trying to be nice??
I love this coord because it was so comfy. I also love this tiny black hat (from Ririkadeath on taobao) which is kind of carrying my coords right now.



Also, I’m so proud of myself because I finally posted the vlog I made two years ago. I didn’t post it because I experienced a lot of paranoia around stalkers… but I am finally confident enough to post it. My friends have been so supportive… I love this community <3
I want to vlog and record more of my life!!


LINK HERE!! youtu.be/bPDCJ114iBs


I love vlogging and I’m going to post another one at the end of the month!! I’m balancing interning between two labs, learning coding (for internships), and working at the ice cream store.
I’m also on a buy ban and learning embroidery like Momoko!! I want to sew skirts soon :D I just bought some trim to make a skirt + blouse set.

Anyways, that’s about it, lol. I’m glad to have enough time to be back :)

Lolita Update 4

Monday, 17 June 2024 00:35
godofpoop69: (Default)
I’ve had a good few months of lolita!

After finals, I went to China to see my family members, and saw a total of 12 lolitas during my three week trip.
I saw:
- classic lolitas in a history museum
- sweet lolitas shopping for stuffed animals at the mall
- lolitas with flashy coords at a nightlife-y area
- AP Shanghai clerk and the Daydream clerk (sells many Chinese brands)

I bought a skirt and blouse set at the Daydream store. It was super fun to see lolitas out in the wild outside of a comm meetup which reminded me that, while I use this fashion largely for escapism and community, it really is just clothing that anybody can enjoy.

Here’s a coord with the set I bought:
IMG_5290

The Chinese lolita community also has overlap with many people of the hanfu community which was awesome to see. I’d sometimes see hanfu wearers walking with lolitas, and the Daydream store sold a handful of ma mian qun as well!
Overall I loved just existing in China, seeing family, eating food, exploring new cities, and engaging with lolita and culture. Hehe. It also gave me ample time away from the internet and my regular life so I could kind of “start fresh” and relax in a comfortable new environment (also can’t stress how much more convenient life is when everything isn’t car dependent).

737896C6-B5AB-48AF-9CD7-47F82160B1EA

Now I’m back at home coming back to my ice cream job and starting an internship. I’m also being depended on by my family much more, now that I can drive. It’s been really rough and I just have no clue what’s even going on every day.
This is why I can’t stress how wonderful lolita has been to me. The whole culture of tea parties, cute things, and frilly dresses is extremely posh, feminine, and exaggerated in a strange but fun way. I mean, I guess that’s why it’s inspired by the rococo period. To a young person like me today though, it feels like I’m living in a child’s dream that could never be real right as I’m growing too old to do that in a way that feels normal to everybody else. That is why I am embarrassed and ashamed every day.
However, I feel like there’s nothing wrong with engaging with escapism from time to time. Of course, if we all lived according to absolute basic survival needs, then the world seems quite pointless. So, I like to dress things up and live a little, even if it means not being “productive” or “normal” to other people. After all, I’m relaxing and enjoying myself in the comfort of my own room — not on a stage.

Without further ado, here are more of my coords!
FA93C0A4-CF26-4ADA-AA02-CAC90A30CB44

This coord was uncomfortable… but very cute! I love half bonnets/soft bonnets so much. It’s just so simple, floral, and pink lmao. I love taking photos with stuffed animals too — this is Maple Millie the sheep bunny.

IMG_5617

This dress is so casual. It looked so plain that I contemplated returning it. However I’ve been loving simple coords so much lately and I’m glad I could give some wear to this Bodyline cutsew too. Also, meet my other stuffed rabbit.

IMG_5578

Honestly, this is all I have for now. I might update in the future, but realistically, everything to come feels bleak.
To end, I’ll share funny stories to lighten up the mood — I learned that putting your foot up like this is called the “comm pose”, and my comm also taught me the history of the Onceler fandom on Tumblr. That was definitely… memorable. And disturbing.

See you soon! I’ll be sure to hang in there and I hope you will too ~

This weekend was full of lolita and other good times.



I had a great meetup with the Boston old school comm. We waited over an hour for Kyo Matcha’s grand opening, and most of us thought that it wasn’t worth the hype… but hmart lobster rolls were. Lol
Then we walked around Brookline. I bought a leather harness from Buffalo Exchange, an exmilitary cassette (hopefully real??), and a Milk bag from my friend.


I also traded my 2004 btssb shirring jsk for my friend’s IW velveteen box pleat jsk! It’s been on my wishlist for so long. I didn’t think I’d get to own it… but it’s so lovely. I was debating this trade because my shirring jsk felt like a shit trade for an item as lovely as the IW jsk, but we each got what we were looking for.


Finally, my friend + a new friend and I went to Xmortis, a Boston goth club! I’ve loved goth music since sophomore year of high school, but never dressed or participated in the culture until now as I went to a… religious school and had Asian parents, lol. This was one of the best and most freeing nights of my life — i’ve never felt so safe and unjudged. Everyone looked so cool… and goth dancing is really fun. I usually don’t listen to industrial stuff (i’m a neoclassical and deathrock person hehe) but i loved itttt.


I had so much fun creating a gothic look. I don’t have a great Goth wardrobe yet, so I tried making something with what I had. The harness I got at Buffalo Exchange will definitely add to my collection.

If I’m being honest, one of the reasons why I joined lolita fashion was because of how conservative it was. I felt so scared and ashamed to wear anything tight fitting, and wearing goth/seeing people in all sorts of tight/revealing outfits at Xmortis made me feel so comfortable in my own skin. I will definitely participate in goth culture more from now on.

Anyways, that’s it for my amazing weekend. See you again soon <3

Helloooo -- I'm back from the dead...

I think my last update was back in fall 2023, and now it's March of 2024. Anyways, here's how my lolita journey has been since then!

I've met up with my Boston old school friends a few more times.


These are from my friends' birthday meets.
At the first meet, we had a picnic at Boston Commons. It was a lot of fun, but also very cold lol. It was great to see this little group for the second time. Afterwards, we experienced the insanity of Boston driving in my friend's car.
At the second meet, my friend reserved the space in a really pretty church with stained glass windows for us to take some photos with. Afterwards, we walked around Newbury St.

Here are some of the coords I put together since I last updated:

This skirt is a custom from Glittertale! I spent my ice cream store paychecks on it. It was a slight journey to get it as the package kept getting delayed due to holiday shipping issues, but I got free wrist cuffs as a "sorry" present!
I thought the skirt was too puffy, as I'm used to flatter coords, but the absolute hugeness of it is growing on me.


I made this coord because I am sad about missing the local anime con, Anime Boston. Whatever though, because midterms are more important and I have other fun things coming up in the following weeks.
I got this jsk (Petit Chiens, IW) from my comm member who did a closet sale!


Better photo of the coord I wore to the church meetup. In a strange way, I felt weird wearing lolita in church + with a cross, as I am a Christian who usually associates church with looking super formal. Anyways on the day of the meet, I was more concerned abt the warmth of this coord than how it looked because it was below 10F degrees, so I wore boots and leggings...
This dress was a mystery. From what I've found, the JSK is an altered  IW lucky pack jsk, also from my comm member's closet sale.

Okay, non-old school coord. My La Luice bunny is Mr. Oof.
This was the first lolita dress I ever got, and it's not my style anymore but it's so sentimental. I couldn't help but wear my old school headbow/socks with it. The dress is the Antique dolls OP from Dolls Party, which is unfortunately defunct. I speculate that part of the reason why it went defunct is because they kept selling classic/country lolita when their main fanbase is sweet and gothic. 


In other news:
  • I've been refraining from buying anything new, but I have a baby jsk on the way (velveteen!!). My PayPal has been being a pain in my ass, but at least that restrict me from LaceMarket. My wishlist expands more and more as I get my hands on GLBs and other old school media, but I refrain from sending it anywhere because I can't be enabled NOOOO. 
  • I have two new friends who joined the local old school comm, and a bajillion new comm members after Anime Boston. I can't forget to mention my online lolita friends around the world that I would love to meet one day. Also, I spotted a lolita in my university wearing chocolate rosette salo by ap????? I WAS TOO SHY to say hello... the only thing I said was "bruh not working" as the broken dining hall ice cream machine spat chocolate liquid all over my hand.
  • I've signed up for a Metamorphose meetup in a fancy mansion, and joined an old school server where I'm continually inspired to grow in this fashion -- both in knowledge and style. I began lifestying a bit with casual coords (bolero + dress + pants, lol). Lolita is seeping into my daily life, and I no longer keep it a secret from any of my irl friends.

I've been in this fashion for over two years, and it feels like my journey is only opening up more and more. I can't wait to see where I go next...

Introduction!

Hello! Welcome to Gobelin Deez. Most online circles know me as godofpoop69, gobelin.deez, or grace. This is a blog where I will document my old school lolita journey.



I started my lolita journey exactly two years ago (November 2021), and started out wearing modern sweet.



However, whenever I wore bright pastel prints, I knew that something felt missing. It almost felt as if I was trying to change my self image with 16m petticoats or fill a hole with over-the-top accessories. (Note: not all OTT sweet lolitas feel this way. I just do)
That is why when I saw old school street snaps, I felt a sense of relief. I saw people wearing their natural hair and natural face, with simple solids or floral patterns that didn’t overwhelm the eyes. I was especially drawn to Gobelin, because it’s “frumpy” and “ugly” — or in other words, it has imperfections, and didn’t feel curated for the camera. It’s something I can wear day to day for both comfort and simplicity, and it’s something I could wear for myself. The vintage aesthetic was also something I admired growing up, as I was raised in a small town with lots of antique stores. Anyway, choosing old school lolita felt like a shift towards a more authentic version of me.

So, in 2023, I formally began my old school journey!
Here’s my first old school dress! It is an axes femme Gobelin jsk. I purchased it early on in the year — before I formally committed to old school. Here’s a more recent coord with it, though.



My comms are everything to me! I’ve been a proud member of the Boston lolita society for almost two years. After getting into old school, I made a few new friends and have hung out with them on occasion. I’ll definitely write about both comm-wide and old-school-specific meetups, as well as shenanigans with online comms.



Here are a few of my favorite coords! Since I started my lolita journey wearing modern sweet, I found that my style has moved back periodically. These coords are inspired by more transitional styles in the mid 2000s between traditional old school and 2010s sweet + classic. However, this blog will mostly document my journey towards a more traditional style of old school.




In my personal life, I have loved anime and manga since elementary school. I can’t boast having watched as many as the average long time fan, though, because I’m very picky with shows I spend my time on… one manga I can certainly admit to liking Oyasumi Punpun; my profile (and online handle that most know me by) is God of Poop — a character from this manga!
As of writing this, I’m a first year college student who studies psychology and design. I also work at an ice cream shop!



My current plans for this blog are to document every step of my journey. I’ll write about new purchases, meetups, random thoughts, experiences with lolita friends, art, street snaps/old school media I enjoy, and etc. I can’t wait to look back and realize how much I’ve grown.

As of Nov. 2, I have a couple meetups planned, and my first fully old school haul on its way. Expect gobelins...

Thanks for reading!
