egl_archivetop fo the morning to ya^^
So...have any of you actually ever read the novel Lolita?
It's one of my all tyme favorite books.I would definitely suggest anyone who is interested in EGL to read it.I mean, afterall, Vladmir Nabokov is the one who coined the term Lolita.The man behind it all, really.=P I just think read it gives you a really good understanding of what Lolita really is. ^_~.
Not nessicarily a nice sweet innocent little girl...Well, to an extent.Haha
I typed out an excerpt for you guys from the book where I think it is most obvious when referring to the way Lolita (the particular character) or a Lolita dresses.Just thought youd enjoy :)
"What next? I proceeded to the business center in Parkington and devoted the whole afternoon (weather had cleared,the wet town was like silver-and-glass) to buying beautiful things for Lo.Goodness,what crazy purchases were promptedby the poignant predilection Humbert had in those days for check weaves ,bright cottons, frills,puffed-out short sleeves, soft pleats, snug fitting bodices, and generously full skirts! Oh Lolita, you are my girl, as Vee was Poe's and Bea Dante's, and what liittle girl would not like to whirl in a circular skirt and scanties? Did I have something special in mind? coaxing voices asked me.Swimming suits? We have them in all shades.Dream pink, frosted aqua, glans muave, tulip red, oolala black.What about playsuits? Slips? No slips.Lo and I loathed slips"
