Lolita Meme Part 10 ( and the final installment)

91. "One day I will go on a date with that person." What would you like to wear for him?
   Something cute.  But, I haven't been on a "date" in about 7 years.

92. If you want one, what type of store would you open in the future?
   I had planned on having my own brick and mortar store before I finished my degree in Fashion Design but changed my mind while I was doing an internship in a gorgeous bridal gown shop.  While I was there I learned of all the non fashion design aspects of owning your own business and I just don't want much of that at all. 
  If I was to have my own shop I would have a fully outfitted staff to run the shop, manage, and work in.  It would sell Lolita clothing (brand and off brand), accessories, and any other Lolita items.

93. Something catches your eye. What is this motif?
I do love kittens and bunnies. 

94. Would you dress your child in Lolita?
I don't' have children, I don't want children, and I will nev
er have children. 

95. How much do you spend on one outfit?
$250ish.  This includes a could brand pieces, off brand, and self made.

96. "This is lolita!!" Please say what you would say this about.
I find the accessories to be very important when it comes to an outfit.

97. "I have always wanted to try that once!" What, in the lolita world, have you wanted to try wearing?
   I guess I have wanted to try full on Gothic Lolita just like Mana.  That is not my style what so ever but he/she just looks so good in it.

98. Look at yourself in Lolita. In one word/phrase, how would you express your style/image?
Cute shrimp.

99. What is your lolita ideal?
Nicely put together, clean, matching, cute boots, long hair, and a pretty smiling face.

100. Thank you for taking this baton!! Tell us what you think!
I am very happy that I did it in parts.

  Holy Moly!  That was so long.  I can't believe some people did that all in one sitting.  It took alot time for  me to do the 10 questions.

Lolita Meme Part 7

61. "Man, what a rip-off!!" Have you ever thought that about a store?

Yes.  I do know alot of time, effort, supply, and thought goes into each design but sometimes I feel a piece can be overpriced.  Especially when I can look at a dress and estimate that I would charge $250 for it and they are selling it for $600. 

62. Do you shop online? If so, put the good & bad points here to advise others.
All my shopping is done on-line.  All of my Lolita purchases are done on the egl sales page.  I like a good prices, the nice people, the ever updating page, and the anticipation the package.

63. Is there a secret person/shop that you have commissioned a dress just for you from?
Nope.

64. "I can never have that/see that happening!! But I will always want it!!" Is there a brand you think this of?
Some of the AP fairy pieces with the light pink chiffon.  So pretty but just a little young for me.  they are like beautiful costumes.

65. What do you do with the clothes you don't want anymore?
I sell them on the egl sales page.

66. What is your most recent purchase? (Even non-lolita.)
A BTSSB head bow that I got for $15!  And it's mint!

67. Is there an item you love that you can't buy/seem to find?
Not yet.

68. What do you think of people who only wear lolita to concerts?
That is fine.  People can wear what they like when they like.  I am not the clothing police.  I just tend to get a little sweaty at shows so you have the chance of getting pit stains on your nice dress.

69. What do you think of lolitas without makeup?
That is perfectly fine with me.  I personally never leave the house without a bare minimum on my face (cover my blemishes and mascara).  Make-up adds to the drama of Lolita but if a girl feels pretty without it, all the more power to her.

70. Another lolita is wearing the same coordinate/clothes as you!! What do you do?
Twinsies!!!

Lolita Meme Part 6

Whoo baby!  Half way through the meme.  This is alot of information to share.  I wonder if anyone is actually reading these or if I am just writing these for myself.  I am still waiting for my first Google Follower.  I actaully had a dream last tnight that I got my first 2 and they left comments on one of my posts.  I was so excited.  I ran around the house (in my dream) and told my husband about it.  One day I hope this happens for real.  Now, onto the Meme that hopefully someone is reading.

51. Have you ever changed in a train station bathroom?

No.  I have done some costume changing in a bathroom in a convention center.

52. What do you think of "twin" and "triplet" lolitas?
I personally love it.  I especially love it when they do it in diffent color schemes.  It's so cute to see 2 or 3 girls all wearing the same outfit and all holding hands. 

53. How do you keep in shape for lolita? Recommend something.
Oh goodnss.  I should be very fit but I am not.  I work at a YMCA but I work at the front desk so I spend most of my time sitting at a computer.  My husband is starting P90X so I want to get back into DDR while he is doing that.  I was on a diet and doing DDR everyday for quite some time a few years ago and it was working wonders.

54. Do you keep calm when you wear lolita alone in public?
Most definetley.  I have always dressed however I have wanted and not what is cool or even socially acceptable.  Before I wore Lolita I plenty of looks, stares, and comments.  Now, it is the same but I just get asked if I am in a play more often.

55. How much do you spend per month on clothes/accessories?
Well.  I actually try to spend as little as possible.  I am in massive debt so sewing my own clothes and making my own jewelry is how I roll.

56. Was there a time lag between knowing about lolita and dressing in the fashion?
Yes.  I was dressing in Lolita style for about 2 years before I officaly knew about it.

57. What is your most expensive lolita item?
I have to say my baby blue Baby dress.  I only paid $100 for it but that is enough to count as expensive for me.
58. It takes a lot of money to be a lolita. How do you save?
I have a jar that I throw coins, $1's, and $5's into.  Whenever I have money floating around in my bag, car, or desk I just through it in there.  I also sell my wares online.  All of my work money goes towards credit cards, student loans, gas, groceries, pets, and any other lving expense.

59. Just a little secret here... How much have you spent so far on lolita, roughly?
Let me see.  When all is said and done it is close to $1500.

60. Is there a brand shop you want near where you live?
Any.  Please please please come to NYC.  I live about 3 hours away and I would make the drive no problem and toss all of my money at any brand that came near me.  It is probably good that there isn't.  It wouldn't help with my "saving money" absolution.

Lolita Meme Part 5

41. What types of lace do you like?
I like most lace.  Even not so good lace has a value to be used as something.

42. Do you own a doll? Does owning it give you fun, childish feelings?
I currently have my first doll on it's way to me via USPS.  I am very excited to get her.  I didn't buy  her any clothes because I will make my own for her.  I bought a blank body with a medium sized bust and a head with long blue hair just like the banner at the top of my blog.  I bought eye decals.  I have to wait 8 more days to get her though.  My husband got her for me for my birthday and I can't wait. 

43. What is in your lolita bag?
Wallet with money and cards, chap stick and lip gloss, note pad, hair accessories, psp, ds, and any special items for wherever I am going.

44. What is your favourite flower?
I don't really care for flowers so much.  I don't care for the smell and I don't really see a point in them because they die so fast.

45. Right now, what is your favourite accessory?
I just made a huge pink bunny ring that I cannot wait to wear out.

46. Please recommend some cosmetics.
I have several mascaras, which I feel is one of the most important make-up items.  I like most brand and colors.  

47. With eye-tape your eyes look like a doll's! What eyelashes will you wear?
Not for me.

48. What is your eye makeup for these eyelashes?
nope.

49. Red Lipstick? Blue? Black? Pink?
I tend to go with very natural colors and light pinks.  I have yet to find a bold color that looks nice on me.  No matter what I choose I always look like a small child who got into her mothers make-up bag.

50. Which nail polish do you normally choose?
I do enjoy fun nail polish colors.  I try to match my outfit if I am going all out.  Blue, pink, lavender, white, clear, and whatever strikes my fancy.

Lolita Meme Part 2

  Here is the second installment of the Lolita Meme.

11. What do you hate about it? Any pet peeves?
I really don't appreciate all the random people with their snarky and rude comments.  I also am not a fan of the time that it takes to get all dolled up.  i am good if it takes me 45 minutes, anything longer I tend to get bored.

G&L Bibles,  Kira, Sucrerie,  and random bits.

13. Headdresses, bonnets or ribbons/hairbows?

Sailor moon!

Yup.  I tend to hang in the back at shows now so wearing Lolita is pretty easy.  I used to be in the front row all the time and with that comes being squished big time.  That makes for a sad petti.

Nope.  I don't go to those kinds of shows.

Pink.  I love pink and yellow most of all.

Lolita Meme (Since everyone else is doing it, peer pressure)

  I have noticed that all of the Lolita blogs are doing the EGL Meme and I figured, "Hey, why not me too?"  So, I will be doing it in installments due to it being crazy long.  Here is the first of many.

1. Screen-name and date of birth, please tell us these~
SweetSuzette and February 18th (it is coming up soon, I can't wait)

2. Height, weight, clothing size, and shoe size?
Almost 5 feet 3 inches, 10ish, and 6 1/2 American.


3. Why did you start to dress lolita?
About 3 years ago when I was living in Philadelphia I bought a puffy black dress and a white blouse with cap sleeves and lace around the high collared neck.  I wore them together with pearls and other cute accessories.  This was a inexpensive and unintentional wearing of Lolita.  I had seen pictures of Lolita in Fruits books but did not know it was a genre of dress.  Toward the end beginning of 2009 I really learned about Lolita and got into it in a big way.  I have always dresses my own style and my own way.  Fun colors, puff, lace, girly, and just dresses and skirts.  Lolita is just the perfect fit for my taste and style.


4. Which style of lolita do you like?
Sweet and just a touch of deco.  So pretty.


5. Express in your own words, the ideal of your above answer.
  I love Sweet Lolita for its unapologetic use of all things girly and feminine.  So much pink, puff, lace, and ruffle.  Sweet just makes me want to smile whenever I see any one wearing it.


6. Do you have piercings? Where?
I used to have my lip pierced about 4 years ago but it had to go for not fun reasons.

7. Which brands do you like?
I love all of the big names. BABY, Meta,  and AP.  Bodyline is pretty good.  I have a few pieces from them like my jacket and it is perfect.  I also like my own brand.  SweetSuzette, of course.

8. Which are your favourite clothes (that you have)?
I have an older BABY dress that is blue and white and it is the jewel of my wardrobe.  I got it on the cheap and am so proud of it.  I also have a blue and white AP bag that is stunning.

9. How many lolita friends do you have?
Just about none.


10. What do you love most about lolita?
I feel lovely wearing it.  It shows people around me how I feel on the inside.  Lolita embodies everything that I love and everything that I strive for.  To be feminine, polite, pretty, and me.
