So, uhm, since the photographer is not going to give me my full photoshoot any time soon X°D, I'll just post the pictures I have - which are just random pics someone took during the walk XD.
I decided to pull out an ero-loli outfit not only because quite few people know and wear ero loli, but also because it was HOT AS HELL outside and I knew I wouldn't have been able to keep on tights or knee-high socks, or, worse, a blouse!, all day. This is the same reason why I didn't wear a wig, even though I had one with me. Actually, it was so hot that I got a sunburn on my shoulders.
It had never happened to me before, to get a sunburn while I was walking, but I hadn't taken into account the fact that Venice is near the sea. Or better: it is an island, so it was like I'd been on the beach without my sunscreen. That sunburn took me almost three weeks to heal X°D
You can right-click on the pics and open them in a new tab for a better resolution :D
This is all of us together. We were quite a few, huh?
Someone brought a child <3 can you see that little blonde girl dressed in white, in the middle? She was so adorable. I mean literally; when she had to go home, she came to each one of us, she hugged us and gave us a kiss on the cheek. So sweet <3!
These are close-ups on me, which doesn't really make sense to post since you can't see my face - which is pretty much the point of a close-up XD but you can see my dress and my accessories, which are the most interesting things about me XD
I don't know why my hair looks reddish, I guess that's because the photographer played around with saturation and lights. You can see its real colour in the pictures below :D
This is Beatrice, who came in a country/classic outfit. They asked us to pose together because of the contrast between our outfits :D
Later on we exchanged clothes and she gave me a gorgeous pink classic dress; I have to wear it at least once before summer's over... but I don't have proper shoes for classic >_<!
The girl sitting below is the photographer <3
And these are pictures of the lolitas in the event! There was only five of us (there was a girl with a casual lolita outfit, but she isn't in this pic; you can see her in the first picture, she's next to us). I was very surprised, since in Italy the most well-known japanese alternative style is lolita. But luckily, we had quite a lot of diversity :D!
All in all, not everyone was wearing a japanese style, but oh well, it was nice to spend a day with a lot of alternatives who liked manga and anime and fashion just like I do. I can't wait for the next Harajuku Fashion Walk :)!
Has any of you ever been to one? :D
As far as I -as a non-Lolita- understand Ero-loli, you did it perfectly. A little sexy, but covered up. And I love the lace gloves! ^^
RispondiEliminaThank you so much <3!
EliminaWell, yes, ero-loli is supposed to follow the rules of lolita but it also allows you to uncover a little skin, so you can show your shoulders, or have a shorter skirt, or wear fishnet hosiery :) I was very careful in not exaggerating and staying lolita with a little exposed skin XD!
Your outfit is beautiful! So nice to meet other alternative people. I have never heard of that kind of event and when I googled it with sweden, I came up to nothing.
RispondiEliminaReally? I thought people did that all around the world :O!
EliminaWell, you know what? You can organize the first one :)! All you have to is to set a time and a place for the event, and then you just walk XD we did nothing special after the walk, we just sat in a park and had lunch, took pictures and chatted :)
ma perché ti nascondi sempre la faccia? ç_ç
RispondiEliminaXD Perché non mi piace l'idea mettere la mia faccia su Internet... vai a sapere la gente cosa ne fa, e come usa le informazioni che trova su di te :/
EliminaMagari sono paranoica, ma siccome c'è gente che non sta a posto con la testa, meglio prevenire che curare >_<''
I know many people who thinks Ero-loli is toooo much and not a "real lolita style" but I think it's one of the prettiest and you look amazing in it :D
RispondiEliminaThey have lolita meets here in sweden sometimes and I have been thinking of going someday, but since I don't dress lolita everyday like the other girls in the meetings do I'm scared I will feel lonely :P
Yeah, well, they're not entirely wrong, since ero-loli breaks some of the fundamental rules of lolita, but if you're in an ero-loli attire you should be careful to break just one or two; I mean, you must show you're wearing a lolita outfit, just with a few changes.
EliminaAnd by the way if ero-loli is not acceptable, why is punk-lolita perfectly fine?
Oh, I wouldn't worry if I were you, I don't think any of the girls I met there wore lolita on a daily basis, except maybe for one who by the way goes kind of casual when it's not the weekends. I myself am not a lolita, it's just something I wear from time to time :) and nobody gave me a third degree or looked down on me, so ;)
oh, that dress looks perfect on you !!! We don't have such event here but we have "Now Japan" which is for almost four days. I'm planing to go as Lolita as well. I hope it won't be hot couse then I'll have to pass it :D
RispondiEliminaOr you could go ero-loli just like I did XD! It keeps you quite fresh :D
EliminaI could never thank you enough for selling me that dress, it is so beautiful and I've worn it several times during this summer, and it got lots of compliments <3
