February Updates

This month's banner artwork is by ruban_rose, whose username I spelled wrong on the poll. I'm so sorry! This time I made sure to get it right. You can view more of her work on her DeviantArt.

Thank you to all the artists who submitted entries to the banner contest! You made it a truly exciting and inspiring competition. :)

The General Theme for February is Twinning
In a style where it's so easy to own the same dress as a friend, "twinning" in lolita is not a fashion faux pas, but a long-standing tradition that can produce visually stunning results! Have you twinned with a friend? We want to see double this month, so show us something that makes February twice as nice!

The Aesthetic Theme for February is Red
The season of love is upon us, and in its honor we celebrate the color of love! Red is for passion, rose petals, and deep, luxurious red velvets. Be still, my heart! Show us your coordinates, because we're hopelessly in love with red.

I also want to give a personal, heartfelt thank you to everyone who made a wardrobe post and was able to comply with EGL's 500 pixel width limit for images outside of LJ cuts. We had a very successful month with an unprecedented number of members participating in the theme, with relatively few mistakes that "broke" the community layout. Thank you again!
