Lace and Frills <3


Marie is a lolita pinup of sorts, how appropriate.

"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation to English of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", supposedly spoken by "a great princess" upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was enriched, as opposed to normal bread, the quote supposedly would reflect the princess's obliviousness to the condition of the people.
While they are commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette,[SUP][1][/SUP] there is no record of these words ever having been uttered by her. They appear in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions, his autobiography (whose first six books were written in 1765, when Marie Antoinette was nine years of age, and published in 1782). The context of Rousseau's account was his desire for bread, to accompany some wine he had stolen; however, in feeling he was too elegantly dressed to go into an ordinary bakery, he thus recollected the words of a "great princess"

The clothing style pictured above <3

Part of the reason I made this thread, because I wear it alot.

It has many sub-types, but the main influences are from victorian children's clothing, rococo period clothing and themes from literature like Alice in Wonderland etc.

Not the same 'Lolita' as in a pervy Russian book, by the way.
 
Now I have to go order the book and read it...


This is lolita? Google images gave me this...

Yes, it's Gothic Lolita: subdued colors, often less cutesy and has more in common with modern western goth fashion, which draws from similar origins anyway. Great for formal events.

I like a little cuter though, with a little white.

I'm google searching for lolita images and they're all japanese, or korean, or something.

Are you like, from japan or somewhere in asia? That's neat.
 
No, I'm in London.

But Lolita is Japanese clothing style that owes itself to England and France. It's like an answer to the Victorian Aesthetic movement, where England was enamored with Japan...

japanese culture is like the most replicated.. evar..

especially by fat americans.. which is ironic when you look at japanese being graceful and petite
 
You get fat japanese girls, too, but their diet is a great contributing factor. I love japanese food. I just bought a load of daifuku <3

I hate fat people who are fat just because they eat nothing but greasy shit. If you could easily lose the weight in 2-3 months, then you no right to cry when people call you a fat ass.
 
I love sushi never had any deserts tho.

Nom. I truly think tuna tastes better raw. Cucumber maki are great for your lunchbox, too.

Japanese candy and traditional desserts (wagashi) are awesome, but some are perhaps an acquired taste. I have a slight addiction to anko. I will eat anything with anko in it...

Ya but when you call them a fat ass in real life and you get your ass kicked you have no right to cry either.
 
Sushi gets pretty old quick, but we do have some awesome sushi bars around here. Real ones too, none of that western fusion sushi bullshit.
