Parents + Loli =

[cerberusia.livejournal.com]

I have looked through the memories and not found anything, so I hope this is alright.

I 'got into' Lolita fashion a while ago, nearly a year ago now, and decided that considering the expenses of the clothes, I would wait until my birthday/Christmas (which are two days apart) to ask for them- both to make sure I really liked them and to hopefully make my parents a little more generous (I am still of an age -14- where all monetary matters are controlled by my parents).

When I first told them about Lolita, their response was at first the typical 'We don't like the sound of this, it sounds sexualised, show us the clothes and we'll see'. I showed them, and their next reaction?

'It looks daft'.

Not 'It's too expensive' or 'I'm not sure about you ordering from Japan', but 'It looks daft'.

(Before anyone asks, I showed them Meta, ITS and BTSSB).

So, anyone else had this problem and/or know how to get around it? I'm currently going for sewing my own clothes, to be honest...
