“An anon also asked me my opinion of ‘Gothic Lolita’, which is an interesting question that requires a little perspective for those who know nothing of the fashion.

“First and foremost, Goithic Lolita is a specific subset of a wider fashion; Lolita itself spans many styles and from my experience the most popular is Sweet lolita, rather than Gothic.

“The simple answer to the question is ‘yes’, however I am also very much a fan of what some call Bittersweet; that is, Sweet Lolita with a black coloured print.”
