egl_archiveI'm *so* ecstatic right now because the lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
killjoysdesire just sent me some pictures we took yesterday at Greenwood Cemetary and I am spell bound. There isn't much I can say about them, because they are stunning and it doesn't even look like me. It is some tragically beautiful girl in my clothing.
The pink and beige outfit is a Metamorphose skirt and Baby top, and the black outfit is from BodyLine.

Date: 2003-12-06 09:28 pm (UTC)also, i dont think the black shoes were good in contrast to the pink and the white...
how very unlolita..of me to say.. i feel so bad now x_X
the one in the white and pink dress[ you ?] looks really really good..and that is why i bothered criticising...
white or light pink lacy socks would have gone wonderfully too [cant tell if your shoes are open -toe though...so.] if the shoes were white =n.n=
and i finally realise what you were missing.. a bonnet or a headpiece.. that is all i have to say.
the clothes are still really nice though =n.n= especially with that golden auburn [maybey a trick of the eye, ne?] looking blone hair.
and unless that was a relative's grave.. i dont think it would be respectful to do that.
the one in black would have looked nice as an artistocrat.[ why do i always say aristocat? aahh... disney..s:: sigh :: ]
once again..this is just my opinion. i am learning to be more polite, so this transition is very hard. i am very sorry if i have offended you.

and dont listen to the anonymous post-y person.. they have no right..especially oh-so-humbly hiding with the anonymous-tag.
You have a very graceful look in the gothic lolita outfit, and usually such a serene posture and composition is much compliments with the aristocrat sort of style.
It is good that you have gotten the style, dont try and change to be different.i dont want to change you at all!! i think you would do very well if you maybe add a little more of yourself to personalise you more. :) maybe a bag accessory in a complimentry colour to the outfit [harmonising wise..]
or maybe add something to the hairstyle ne?
it is all good.
you have lots of potential.
=n.n=
think of all the accessories you could have! if you post again in that outfit..be sure to have photos handy in your lj-cuts! i would very much like to see them, ne =n.n=
HOeee~! [pronounced hwe or hwee..but not hoe]

I adore the black dress ^__^

Well, there's nothing wrong with your clothes, but honey, brand-name clothes alone do not a gothic lolita make. Quite frankly, you look like mutton dressed as lamb. Perhaps you should consider just dressing goth or EGA instead.

I see humbleness isn't one of your strong points.
And I see that written communication isn't one of yours. "Humility" would have been a much more fitting word to use there, don't you think? "Humbleness" sounds so dreadfully awkward...

Right. And since we have no idea who you are, or what you look like, we should assume that you know of which you speak, hmmmm?

So... you're saying that she looks like something dead dressed as something living? Isn't that the hallmark of gothic couture? ;}
Perhaps you should consider just dressing goth or EGA instead.
Funny... I can remember a time when all of that meant the same thing. ;D

Date: 2003-12-07 06:17 am (UTC)a little shy are we, ne? =n.n= it is alright to state your opinion. But being anonymous is almost contradictory on a whole different level of the same crime.
You didnt have the decency to leave an alias or some form of identity. That makes you just as bad if not even worse.
To be honest, the clothes from metamorphis and baby[btssb] actually are the items that make her look prettier if not enhance.
At least some of it was done right.
Even if my comments were not as near nice, at least i had the decency to post who i am. It is very unfair. your comment does not count..
EVERYONE this comment does not count...double standards it is.
try posting identity of who you are before you post such inconsiderate things, ne?
arigatou~!
look forward to seeing you on the board =n.n=

but honey, brand-name clothes alone do not a gothic lolita make.
To steal the age old subculture cliche, I am me. I am not pretending to be anything other than myself. The clothes I wear do not decide who I am that day (hell, I am in ripped up baggy jeans and a tank top from Hot Topic, might I add.) And never have I posted anything to the effect that I am imitating the lifestyle of the Japanese gothic lolita. So I don't have to be decent, or humble, or even very nice if I choose not to :D.
Perhaps you should consider just dressing goth or EGA instead.
Or perhaps, I just dress the way I want to, and be happy with it and not get offended when people criticize me especially when they don't have the decency to show who they really are.
I do not need to hide behind false names or anonymous posts to tell people what I think. And obviously, you were trying to get a negative reaction out of me with your comments... but that isn't going to happen. Since you do not know me in real life, and probably assume everyone handles things the way you do (ie, you were upset by a nasty comment someone said about you, so you assume doing the same to others will evoke the same response). I (
Of course, if I found truth in your words, I would probably have been very upset. But thankfully I'm just that narcissistic to know what you said is far from the truth :).

Date: 2003-12-07 04:45 pm (UTC)Funnily enough, that's exactly what makes a gothic lolita, as being EGL is exclusively about fashion. Looks to me like she has three big names represented (Baby!, Metamorphosis, and a Body Line reproduction), so I must wonder what you, Miss Holier-than-Thou thinks she lacks?
Ugh, people who think lolita is a lifestyle are nails-on-chalkboard annoying. Cute how you posted anonymously, too. How very quaint of you.

Yeah, that's right, she should do what everyone else does & put themselves down & say they're not pretty, because we've all been brought up to think that "pride" or "putting yourself forward" or "vanity" is wrong. Started & perpetuated by jealous, joyless frumps. Fuck that! I look fantastic, & I'm NOT going to pretend otherwise! Yeah, I won't deny it's nice to get a second opinion (or a third, or a forth *grin*), but the bottom line is that mine is the only opinion that truly matters. Anyone who refuses to bow down & lose their self esteem, should be applauded.
brand-name clothes alone do not a gothic lolita make.
She never said they did. She merely stated some of the brands that she wore for the shoot. Go look in a magazine - you'll find they all do that too. Are you gonna write to them & complain because they stated a model was wearing clothes from, say, Gap?
Also, one of the brands is Bodyline - I seem to remember posts saying that wasn't true egl & was only a cheap copy anyway!

Yeah, she's not dressed at all goth in the photos. *rolls eyes*
Goddamnit!
Date: 2003-12-07 06:25 am (UTC)This is why I hate posting in communities now because of baseless accusations like the one posted by the cowardly anonymous person. At least the other person who posted their criticism was signed in and polite about their views. That type of commentary I can support because although it is not positive, it is meant to be helpful and not malicious. If people can't enjpy their clothes and share pictures without being insulted, what's the point.
The pictures are lovely, and they are artistic. And if you were surprised by the beauty, darling, it's natural. In everyday clothes we seems so ordinary, but a good dress and some nice lighting, and a great camera can work magic. I am sometimes shocked by the results of my loli dressup sessions.
Is that black dress from Bodyline? I think I know which one that is.. if my waist were an inch slimmer I could wear the size that he normally offers on Ebay...
I can't wait to do my birthday event!
Re: Goddamnit!
Date: 2003-12-07 08:47 am (UTC)Above girl is also my friend who photographed me. I am in no ways artistic enough to pose on my own, she should recieve all the credit for how the photos turned out. But, still, thank you.
And I hope to see pictures of your dress up :D

Date: 2003-12-09 04:50 am (UTC)I saw a nice bonnet on a store somewhere though. It was quite cheap too - $25 or something. But I can't remember where! I thought it might be Delirium but it's not there. Anyone know? Or was I hallucinating when I saw it?
