●Loli (LOLI)

The full name is "Lolita" or "Lolita".

I, the novel "Lolita"

Synopsis

"Lolita, the light of my life, the fire of my desire, my sin, my soul. Lo-Lita: Tongue up, in three steps, gently falling on the teeth from the palate down. Lo-Lita. Li-Li. Tower."

The fleshy love story is the inner confession of Humbert, a middle-aged professor who came to the United States in 1947 to teach at Billias University. Preparing to write a textbook in his free time over the summer, he goes to board at the home of Mrs. Charlotte Haze, a widow in the town of Ranchiti, where he meets the girl who has haunted him all his life: Lolita. Humbert saw her as he came out of the dining room, half-naked on a sun-bathed patch of straw mattress, kneeling, turned on her knees, her honeyed shoulders and silk-soft spine dazzling the eye.

The spellbinding goblin mesmerized him. She hangs around him in such a way that he can't concentrate on his writing, and her mother has fallen in love with him at first sight. Mrs. Haze seems to have realized the threat her daughter poses to her position as Mrs. Humbert, and when they go on vacation to Dripping Lake, Mrs. Haze still gives the order, in a consultative tone, to send Lolita to summer camp. She then writes a love letter to Humbert, asking him to marry her. Although he loved Mrs. Haze's daughter, he married Mrs. Haze. After marrying Mrs. Haze, Lolita became his unrelated daughter. However, his emotional confessions about Lolita, written in his diary, could not be hidden, and were discovered by his current wife, triggering a violent argument within the family. Charlotte storms out of the house in a fit of rage, only to be killed when she crashes into a car not far from home.

Humbert and Lolita finally got together. He drove to summer camp to tell Lolita the "sad" news of her mother's death. He's happy to go, even though he feels a little guilty. He picked Lolita up and lied to her first, telling her that her mother was sick and had been hospitalized. On the way, they check into a hotel, and in the lobby, Lolita meets an old man who is bald as a dirty pig and his dog. In the evening, when Humbert puts Lolita to bed, gives her sleeping pills, and goes out himself to walk up the white steps outside the hotel door, that's when the bald old man again says something ambiguous to him, but Humbert doesn't take it to heart. They consummated their incestuous affair the next morning, and he learned that he wasn't even her first lover. Then they drive home. Humbert was getting restless, feeling like a demanding little ingrate with Lolita sitting next to him. She asks to stop at a gas station, she gets out of the car and doesn't come back for a long time, and when she gets back in the car, she asks Humbert to give her change, she's heading to the hospital to call her mom. Humbert told her to get in the car first, then confided in her the truth, "Your mom is dead."

From there, they began a journey across the United States. Of all the various types of lodging, he quickly fell in love with the "practical motel" - clean, neat, safe and secluded, the ideal place to sleep, fight, make up, get greedy and break the law by fornicating. Though they traveled, they actually saw nothing, and their long journey was nothing more than a meandering clay road desecrating this fascinating, honest, dreamlike country. Eventually, the journey came to an end and Humbert decided to send his "baby girl" to Beardsley School for Girls.

Everything seems to be going well for Humbert. But there is one thing that kills him: Humbert can't stand the idea of Lolita being with other men. When Lolita asks to star in the school play, "The Phantom Lady," he flatly refuses. But after Lolita seduces him with her beauty, he compromises, even though it hurts him to do so. Humbert feels that she is escaping from his grasp, and he can only buy her pleasure with her weekly allowance, but she grows colder and colder towards him, and there is no real pleasure to be had with each other; Humbert indulges in sex games, and Lolita grows tired of the immorality. They begin to argue incessantly. Lolita saved up the money she had asked from Humbert, and Humbert sensed it, foreboding that it was a plot, a plot to keep him from ever seeing Lolita, which set him on fire. Once, after an argument, Lolita takes off and runs away in the pouring rain. After finding Lolita, they decided to take a break outside, traveling west to go around the area, which might be good for improving their current cold war situation.

On the way, Humbert noticed that they were being followed by an Aztec red convertible, which was always on their asses, and the distance between them seemed to be constant. When Humbert gets out of his car to buy glasses in a small town, he sees the car's owner get out of his car and talk to Lolita at the store. But when he rushed over, the black man was nowhere to be seen, and he asked Lolita, "What did the man say?" Lolita said, "He asked me for a map, he must be lost." Humbert felt bad and immediately turned the car around and drove back.

Lolita got sick and was admitted to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed it as nothing more than influenza, nothing serious, but she had to be hospitalized for a day for observation, hydration and a good night's sleep. The next day, when Humbert called the hospital, the hospital paramedics told him that a man had picked her up, claiming to be her uncle, with a dog and looking very kind. Humbert was shocked, and he immediately thought of the man who had been following them all these days, and he felt he had been too careless. He rushed to the hospital and had a big fight with the medical staff, but it didn't help. He stepped on the iron shoes and kept searching, searching for months, still not dead.

One day, three years later, he received a letter from Lolita from afar, saying she was married and pregnant and desperately needed money: "Please send us a check, Dad. There's three or four hundred, or a little less we can deal with." He read the letter desperately resisting the sharp pain it caused in his mind and body as he stepped out on that road and drove alone to the address written on the letter. He arrived at his daughter's new home as a father, consoled them, gave them money, and then Lolita told him the truth, that the man who had abducted Lolita from him was none other than the old man who was bald as a dirty pig, whose name was Quiddy, and who was a screenwriter, and sometimes did a little advertising. He was the only man Lolita ever really loved. He tricked her into taking some pornographic pictures for him, which Lolita refused to do, so she gave the boot.

While Humbert still tries to salvage the relationship, Lolita is no longer the sultry little nymph she was, and Humbert pulls an automatic pistol out of his pocket, ready to unleash a torrent of hatred on the man who tore them apart. He found the man he'd hated all his life and put bullets into him like it was a damn rat. He didn't have an ounce of mercy, he didn't have an ounce of hesitation, all he knew was that he was going to take this man out and get revenge for himself and for the love affair that was killing him.

Two, Loli and Lolita

Evolution of Lolita in Japan:

From the beginning, LOLI is short for LOLITA, which refers to a cute, attractive young girl (mostly 7-14 years old), originating from the novel Lolita

To the later cultural extensions,

lolita = adjective for lolita-like, cute young girl

loli = young girl

Mostly used in movies and in Japanese GAGAME culture.

Recently, because of the influence of Japanese, British and American movie culture, which makes loli style clothing popular, LOLITA has evolved into

representing a style of service, especially in Japan, LOLITA has become a representative brand of clothing, and has been more and more promoted by teenage girls, which has gradually replaced the position of loli as an adjective to describe a young girl who is loli-like and adorable

loli = young girl

Mostly used in movies and Japanese GAME culture. The status of young girls

Three, clothing style Lolita: girl dress

We first heard of Lolita, is the name of a novel and a 13-year-old girl. If only from the understanding of the novel, it can be understood simply as a precocious sexy girl and her connection with pedophilia, and there is contact with Western culture will find that Westerners say "Lolita" girls are those who wear ultra-short skirts, wearing mature make-up, but also stay with teenage bangs girls, simply put is In short, it's a case of "teenage girls in girl's clothes".

But when "Lolita" spread to Japan, the Japanese took it as a synonym for innocent and cute girls, and uniformly called girls under the age of 14 "Lolita Generation," and the attitude turned into "girls wearing girls' clothes. The attitude has changed to one of "girls wearing girls' clothes", i.e. mature women's desire for young girls.

Almost all of the Oriental type "Lolita", to the movie "Wife Story" in the court doll fashion as the standard to dress themselves. The Hong Kong version of "Lolita" came from this, and the Cantonese version of Lolita, which is used to take lessons from Hong Kong, is also the same. But the difference is that the Cantonese version of Lolita players age concentration in 13-25 years old, and most people do not exceed the age of 20, seventeen or eighteen years of age of such players, they do not have to desperately pretend to be young needs, more often than not they are pursuing a new attitude to dress, and seek to be different from the general way of life.

"Lolita" three major groups

One, SweetLoveLolita --- pink, pink and blue, white and other pink series is the main clothing material selection of a large number of lace, to create a doll-like. Seek to create a doll-like cute and romantic, in Guangzhou is the most people choose the shape, walking on the street is not too flashy.

Two, ElegantGothicLolita --- the main color is black and white, characterized by wanting to express the mysterious horror and the feeling of death. Usually with decorations such as crosses and silverware, as well as more intense dark makeup, such as black nails, eye shadow, lip color, emphasizing the mysterious color.

Three, ClassicLolita --- basically similar to the first, but with a minimalist tone, focusing on cutting to express the elegant mind, the color is not picky, such as teal and white. The lace will be reduced accordingly, while the ruffles are the biggest feature, the overall style is more down-to-earth, suitable for beginners.

Lolita is not cosplay: the former represents an attitude to life, while the latter places more emphasis on character imitation

The cute "Lolitas" are young, but they're very wary, and when faced with strangers they think more about protecting themselves. When I asked for an interview, they all looked at me with wide eyes like they were in shock, and only after much deliberation did they timidly ask if they could take out their press cards, and when they were presented with their cards and business cards, they immediately took out their cell phones to photograph their documents. After confirming that there was no mistake, the "princesses" smiled sweetly again and let me continue to take pictures.

Lolita style

After waves of Old school punk, hip-hop, and guru styles have dominated the streets from Tokyo to New York over the past decade, another style that has nothing to do with baseball, skateboarding, sailor suits, denim, and short skirts has become a "modern fashion element. fashion elements," has emerged, making the streets of Harajuku to the Bronx seem like a never-ending Halloween bash: high school girls between the ages of 14 and 18 wearing gorgeous velvet dresses or pleated tunic skirts

lacy corsets bloomed out of their lace-covered lantern-sleeve tops, laced and buttoned, and covered in a lacey, lace-covered, lacey, lace-covered corset. lace corsets blossomed from their lantern-sleeved blouses laced with ribbons and buttons, and were covered with wide

cloaks and thigh-high boots. These Grimm's fairy-tale outfits were matched by heavy tear-drop black eyeshadow and pale, song-and-dance

style foundation.

A woman without a Lolita complex is like an overripe fruit that has lost the aftertaste of youthfulness. Realistic and safe,

but who cares about that? So, those white lace dresses with black lace, chest straps bring us back to the lost

The years of ignorance, that is not just a mere sense of pretending to be young, but for their own best reward, allowing themselves to live in a non-realistic

world, encouraging themselves to make those small mistakes, and even a little bit of cruelty and wickedness.

Naturally, the fashion world doesn't miss a chance to make a big deal out of the fact that women want nothing more than vanity, beauty, youth,

and now the addition of unbridled splendor. In this Lolita-like "little goblin" rampant in the era, John Galliano

In the Dior 05 fall and winter show abandoned the previous varied dazzling style, with gorgeous and different seasonal clothing mix and match,

Make a precocious modern little girl style, large sunglasses, feminine fur with the style of a small girl, a woman's taste is full of fur, with the style of a small girl. Feminine fur with mustard yellow pleated skirt and

suspendant top, sexy and pure one can not be missing.

The fashion elite paid homage to ignorance and rebellion as they joined the general public in a game of refusing to grow up.

It's not hard to look young and sexy, which is why lace and bows have been all the rage in recent years and are still going strong.

French designers Josiane Pividal and Joseph even named their clothing brand Lolita Lempicka

(a combination of American novelist Nabokov's film adaptation of Lolita and painter Tamara de Lempicka's last name). Inspired mostly by 1940s clothing styles, it balances both modern and classic sensibilities with a slightly playful attitude

in a subtle overall style. Full of feminine tones, romantic and unique. For this spring/summer, they are youthful with shades of soft yellow or

tender blue paired with soft and light fabrics.

Even Chanel, which has always been sophisticated and elegant, interspersed its spring/summer 05 Haute Couture with many cute

detailed little details such as ponchos, straw hats and big bows, while Jean paul Gaultier brought the street lolita

style to his show, with printed dresses and parasols with lace. lace parasols. The same design was seen in John Galliano's

white dress for Dior. KENZO, the Japanese designer label that has seen many changes, also did a good job

of interpreting girlishness with a strong sense of nostalgia, with a pastel pink floral dress, a wide-brimmed hat, and a ruffled

skirt that swayed.

In this good girl to heaven, bad girls walk around the world. How many others are willing to be a modest lady?

Rebelling is no longer the preserve of young girls, armed with glamorous high heels, lacy dresses, scarlet lipstick and Winnie the Pooh

. If you can live a colorful life, what's the harm in being a glamorous little vixen?

What is Lolita?

Some people think that wearing a black and white top and a lace skirt is Lolita, while others think that Lolita is not just about dress, but is actually a kind of spirituality, which stands for ignoring the world's norms and making your own style. Basically, the concept of Lolita is along the lines of the European court, princess, doll series of clothing, in the streets of Harajuku, Japan, to become a fashion style.

Loli three major groups

1. Sweet Love Lolita - pink, pink and blue, white and other pastel series of pink, the clothing material selection of a lot of lace, and to create a doll-like lovely The material used is a lot of lace, and it aims to create a doll-like cuteness and romance. Generally, girls tend to favor cute doll-like clothes, so there are more Lolita players who play Sweet Love. The modeling in the play of Kyoko Fukada belongs to this kind.

2. Elegant Gothic Lolita - The main colors are black and white, characterized by the desire to express the mysterious horror and the feeling of death. An alternative for Lolita lovers who don't like cute dresses. Usually paired with cross silverware, black nails and eye shadow to bring out a mysterious and elegant aura.

3. Classic Lolita - Basically, it's a bit similar to Sweet Lolita, but with a minimalist color palette and a focus on cutting to express the elegance of the heart, with more down-to-earth colors (e.g. teal and white). The lace on the skirt is less than Sweet Lolita, and the ruffles are the most distinctive feature, exuding a noble and elegant style.

The origin of Lolita

Lolita originated from the novel "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov in 1955, which was later adapted into a novel by Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick) into a movie of the same name, A Tree of Pears, which describes the entangled erotic relationship between a middle-aged professor and a 12-year-old girl named Lolita, and since then, the Japanese have made 'Lolita' synonymous with a cute and innocent young girl, and referred to girls under the age of 14 as the 'Lolita generation'. In 1997, the movie 'Lolita' was remade again and became so popular in Japan that the fashion trend of court doll look started to emerge on the streets of Harajuku.

Lolita is by no means the same as cosplay!

Gothic & Lolita is a style of clothing, and cosplay is a role-playing activity, and should never be confused. In fact, this misunderstanding is due to the fact that many manga characters wear Gothic & Lolita costumes, such as Kinomoto Sakura from Kuromoto Enchantress and Sesshoumaru from Chobits, who are very popular characters, leading some people to confuse Gothic & Lolita with cosplay.

Lolita is a noble lady thing?

The reason Momoko spends so much money on Lolita shirts in the movie is because she's a fan of the 'Baby' brand. In Japan, these Lolita brand skirts can easily cost over a thousand dollars! But in fact, Japan and Hong Kong have a lot of Loli will do their own shirt, the cost is only about 0, cheaper than to go to Joki to buy a shirt, completely depending on whether you have the heart.

Adult Lolita

In Japan, Lolita has not only teenage fans, but also many mature women. Loli moms in Japan often wear the brand 'Pink House'. Pink House' fashion originated from a Canadian movie 'Anne of Green Gables', but in recent years 'Pink House' has become Japaneseized, losing its original rustic elegance.

The psychology of Lolita

Lolita is not only a fashion trend, but also a way for young people to express their emotional needs, or to compensate for their lack of self-confidence and self-protection. As developmental psychologist Alison points out, young people are in a stage of 'self-knowledge and confusion', they often have childish innocence and dreams, and a desire to escape from the constraints of reality, and need to search for themselves, so they challenge tradition with their uninhibitedness and wildness, and expect to be noticed, understood, recognized, and truly accepted by others.

In 1966, KATSUO KAMATSUCHI launched the Rory photo book "NYMPHET - 12-year-old myth" (NYMPHET: the original refers to the young goddess of the mountains, forests and water, in this case refers to sexually attractive young girls), and in the same year the birth of Rory's magazine "Teenage Alice", and in 1979 in the comics of the same person magazine marketed in the CYBELE is the earliest Japan's Rory! CYBELE" was the first Rory manga fanzine in Japan. As a result of this influence, the Rory Cyclone began to blow in the 1980s, and had a great impact on the later anime OTAKU culture. In the 1990s, a huge number of Rory characters appeared in anime and game works, with the most representative ones being Sasami in Heaven and Earth are Useless! The most representative characters include Sasami from "Heaven and Earth is Useless!", Hoshino Ruri from "Mobile Battleship Nadesico", DEJIKO from "Di-Gi-Charat", and Kinomoto Sakura from "Magical Card Girls Sakura", and so on. These characters can almost be said to dominate the mainstream market of the Japanese ACG industry since 1995, resulting in the subsequent Japanese anime works almost every must have a Loli characters, or even the whole are Loli, this "situation" so that the consciousness of anime fans gradually from "little girls do not equal Loli "

On the one hand, it's a good thing that you've got a little girl, but on the other hand, it's a good thing that you've got a little girl, because you've got a little girl.

On the one hand, Rory has become one of the indispensable elements of anime, and her cute image has spared no effort to take money out of readers' and viewers' pockets, but on the other hand, there are still some heinous incidents associated with Rory. Following the genocidal "Miyazaki Chin incident" in 1989, Japan broke out in 2004 due to excessive obsession with "Magic Card Girls Sakura" in Kinomoto Sakura and the kidnapping and murder of "Kobayashi Kaoru incident", the victims of the two cases are young girls, that is, the so-called "Rory". The so-called "loli"............ Because of the bad influence of the Miyazaki Chin incident, the Japanese manga works in that year in the portrayal of young female characters are limited to a certain extent.

Of course, the heartless perverts die hundreds of times is not enough, but it does not mean that all those who like the girl characters are with obscene eyes to look at them, those who called "Roli Roli" in fact, most of the students are also in the expression of their own on a person or character favorite. Whether you take just the youngest part of the meaning of the word "loli" or accept it in its entirety, it's safe to say that today, loli, the budding flower children, are everywhere in the world, and as long as there are people who watch anime, there will be a lot of them. As long as there are still people watching anime, the market for "Rory" will never disappear.
