I found this on www.lerman.biz/asagao/ a translation of a poem by Takemoto Nobara called "Gothic & Lolita Go World" from one of the G&LB not sure which one throught people here might enjoy reading it.

Ooh, thank you! I love Novala Takemoto's stuff from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright. That's a neat poem.

Ohh, I love it. Nice to find the translation, since my awesome hiragana skills understood only words like "desu" from the Japanese version. xD It's from the bible #2, right?

I like the line
Gothic & Lolita -It's not a style, but fate.
Gothic & Lolita -Not a fad, but a raison d'être.

hey, that was cool. ^_^ only one thing...what does raison detre mean in the context of this poem??? *embarrassed*

[atelier-alice.livejournal.com]

Don't be embarressed because I had to look it up when I first read the poem^^

I believe it is French for 'reason for being'.
