Why do you call most of the lace court princesses in medieval Europe "Lolita" style?

Westerners refer to "lolita" girls as those who wear short skirts and mature makeup but have girlish bangs, which is simply a case of "a girl in a girl's dress". However, when "Lolita" spread to Japan, the Japanese took it as a synonym for innocent and cute girls, and uniformly referred to girls under the age of 14 as "Lolita Generation", and the attitude changed to one of "girls wearing girls' clothes", i.e., mature women wearing girls' clothes. The attitude has changed to that of a "girl in a girl's dress", i.e. a mature woman's desire for a young girl. Almost all Oriental "Lolitas" dress themselves in the courtly doll fashion of the movie "The Story of My Wife" as a standard. The Hong Kong version of "Lolita" came from this, and the Cantonese version of Lolita, which has always taken its cue from Hong Kong, is 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.

To play "Lolita", the first step is to have a "line". Guangdong version of the "Lolita" modeling inherited from Japan, Hong Kong, and therefore can not be separated from the European court, princesses, dolls series of clothing, but in Guangzhou to set down a "line" cost is not expensive. This year just rose two apricots, finger counting, if you want to go to a small store to order a body, from head to toe the most conservative also need 600-800 yuan to pay the bill, she asked the price of a small store in Scholar's Square, allegedly over there has been the lowest price in the city, under the detailed calculations, also shocked you: the red hooded Christmas version of the "Lolita! "dress 250 yuan, red boots 120 yuan, white lace stockings 40 yuan, white lace gloves 35 yuan, four bows + headband 60 yuan, pink satin bag 80 yuan, cosmetics a number of 60 yuan, a total of a **** 645 yuan.

As Guangzhou play "Lolita" only began, so unlike Japan's development earlier, there has been the type of brand stores, they can only be ordered in some small stores, the first square, Liwan Square, Di Wang Square is where they often gather. According to specializing in "Lolita" style KIRAKIRA clerk, their store although opened soon, but business is very good, especially at the end of the year, many players are rushing to dress to participate in a variety of "parties", this week's order, at least until the middle of next month to get the goods. Orders placed this week will take until at least the middle of next month to get the goods. The store owner has hired a few more tailors to help, but is still too busy to keep up with the demand for accessories such as bows, headbands, gloves, stockings and boots.

Playing on the "Lolita", in addition to a set of symbolic version of the "Lolita line", but also with "Lolita" makeup to be perfect. Xiao Xi usually like to make up, once bought a lot of cosmetics specifically to help humanization, although they have not tried "Lolita" modeling, but this year she is responsible for a group of "Lolita" girls make-up. She knows that there are several groups of "Lolita" and will adjust her look accordingly. For example, if the girls are new to the game and are dressed plainly, the makeup is simple, highlighting the sweetness of the lipstick and blush, and there is no need to emphasize the eye line too much, which is usually very easy to handle. The other is a black and white-based look, makeup is relatively much thicker, and to be slightly "punk" feeling, such as eye shadow and lip color to strong color system, and hairstyle must be more emphasis on the line.

"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, but also to create the appearance of the world's most famous fashion brand. Pursue the creation of a doll-like cute and romantic, in Guangzhou is the most people choose the shape, walking on the street is not too ostentatious.

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.

The lovely "Lolitas" are young, but they are very wary and think more about protecting themselves from strangers. When I put forward the interview request, they are wide-eyed as if in shock at me, and after further consideration, only timidly open the mouth to ask, can take out the press card, and when the press card and business card together, they immediately took out their cell phones to photograph the documents. After confirming that there was no mistake, the "princesses" only then revealed a sweet smile and let me continue to take pictures.

Guangzhou Lolita (Lolita) do not want to be confused with COSPLAY (virtual role-playing). Lu Lu is the head of a folk "Lolita" society, she also serves as a discussion board and group chat QQ moderator, she most often explains one thing is that Lolita is not COSPLAY, the former represents the attitude of life and style of dress, the latter more emphasis on the role of mimicry, the appearance of the two may be some similarity, but they are completely different. The two may have some similarities in appearance, but they are two completely different things.

According to the current situation, not too many people play "Lolita" in Guangzhou, and among the players, more people regard it as an eye-catching way of dressing, rather than a different general attitude towards life, because most of the players take off their fancy clothes, as usual, back to their former selves, they just choose to wear the right clothes on the right occasions. The most important thing is to wear the right clothes for the right occasion.

So, we even see similar attire in the highest level BALL field in the city, the small crown they wear on their head, just like a crystal light. But there are still those few most romantic loyalists who have been pursuing there princess aspirations about themselves. Want to become a princess is not easy, "Lolita" they are the most aware of the people, they know that they are dressed in full dress walking in the street will accept how many people's attention and pointing, but they still want to walk more beautiful and elegant, therefore, will be more considerate of exactly what color should be used in the lace on the dress, the head flower should be lace on the dress, whether the head flower should be a piece or a band, and whether the shoes should be the traditional round toe or the trendy pointy toe.

The origin of Lolita

Lolita originated from the famous Russian-American writer Vladimir Nabokov (Vladimir Nabokov) in 1955 published the novel "Lolita", and was later adapted into the movie of the same name "A Tree of Pear Blossoms Pressing Begonia" by Stanley Kubrick, which describes the relationship between a middle-aged professor named Han Bo and a young man named Han Bo. A middle-aged professor named Han Bo and the 14-year-old girl Dai Li (Lolita) entangled in an erotic relationship, the heroine's name is Lolita. since then, the Japanese people will be 'Lolita' has become a synonym for innocent and lovely girls, the girls under 14 years of age known as 'Lolita generation', referred to as 'Lolita'. In 1997, the movie Lolita was remade 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 $ 100, than to go to Joki to buy a shirt cheaper, depending on whether you have the heart

Advanced Lolita

In Japan, in addition to the girl Lolita fans, there are many mature women to support. 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, a desire to escape from the constraints of reality, and a need to find themselves, so they challenge convention with their uninhibitedness and wildness, and expect to be noticed, understood, recognized, and genuinely accepted by others.

The first Lolita we heard was the name of a novel and a 13-year-old girl. If we only understand the novel, we can simply understand it as a precocious, sexy girl and her connection to pedophilia, and those who are exposed to Western culture will find that the "Lolita" girls in the West are the ones who wear short skirts and mature makeup but have girlish bangs. In short, it is a case of "a young girl in a girl's dress". However, when "Lolita" spread to Japan, the Japanese took it as a synonym for innocent and cute girls, and uniformly referred to girls under 14 as "Lolita-generation", and the attitude changed to one of "girls wearing girls' clothes", i.e., mature women wearing girls' clothes. The attitude has changed to that of a "girl in a girl's dress", i.e. a mature woman's desire for a young girl. Almost all Oriental "Lolitas" dress themselves in the courtly doll fashion of the movie "The Wife's Tale" as a standard. The Hong Kong version of "Lolita" was born from this, and the Cantonese version of Lolita, which has always taken its cue from Hong Kong, is 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 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.

Lyrics

Dance with me, Lolita

White sands of the sea

Love must go on, right?

Seventeen. Long Summer

Love someone Lolita

Just for one day okay

Maybe never fell in love with him

Just loved the fairy tale

That bay window where the wild chrysanthemums bloom

The curtains rolled up in my hair

I gently left my red dancing shoes behind

Care not anymore Lolita

The fields are golden Lolita

The stage is almost set

Are we the same Lolita

Habituated to being alone

If I don't be my own audience

Thinking that I'm in love

I'll get on a plane and go to the sea to look for him

It's so crazy, Lolita

.

Liking someone Lolita

Only for a day okay

Love goes on, right

Seventeen years old, long summer

That bay window where the wild chrysanthemums bloomed

The curtains rolled up in my hair

I gently left my red dancing shoes behind

Care not anymore Lolita

If I'm not my own audience

I thought I was in love with him

I took a plane to the beach to find him

How crazy Lolita

Will it all be forgotten Lolita

Flowers too late to take with me

Struggled to open up for a summer

Seventeen years old, the sea, he

Love goes on. It

Seventeen years old, long summer

Later, Kim Hae-shin had a song called "LOLITA" on her album "Independence Day". There's something subtle about the handwritten lyrics paired with her unique sound quality.

Lyrics

I'll scribble on your blank paper

There's nothing greater than youth

Today's prince tomorrow's frog

As long as there's something to say there's no need for chapters

Why should a tree that's borne fruit blossom

Who reminisces about watery years under the tree

You're afraid to be alone

I'll just bring you home

I say it's better to play Adam and Eve

Your habit and my mung bean and sesame seed

Lay in the sun and sprout together

Whether you're a nun or a lama

Whoever sows the beans, sows the melons

You dance your cha-cha-cha

I'll sing my lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala lolita anytime, anywhere

The sky is too big not to ride the merry-go-round

lolita why pourquoi

You're a little bit afraid to fall in love with her her love words

Your dream words hah...

Your white paper I'll scribble in my hand

Nothing greater than youth

Today's prince tomorrow becomes a frog

As long as there are sayings without the need for chapters

Why should the tree that has borne the fruit blossom

Who remembers the years under the tree

You're afraid of being alone

I'll just bring you back home

lolita anytime, anywhere

The sky is too big not to ride the merry-go-round

lolita why pourquoi

You're a little bit afraid to fall in love with her her love words

Your dream words hah...

lolita Anytime, Anywhere

The sky's the limit without a carousel

lolita why pourquoi

You're a little afraid to fall in love with her her love words

Your dream words hah...

You say the world is full of sound and color

I say it's better to play Adam and Eve

Your habit my mung beans and sesame seeds

Lying in the sun and sprouting together

Whether it's a nun or a lama

Whoever sows the beans, sows the melons

You do your cha-cha-cha

I'll sing my lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.

I don't know exactly why
