Little bears cafe by AP.

Once I saw a black lolita decked out in full sax blue Baby in line at an airport terminal. New Jersey-bound flight.

I've seen lolitas on public transit before. I'd never have the balls to wear loli on MARTA.

Oh wow, that site is so unfunny. Pic related, what is so funny / weird about green wellies...? And 137 people found it funny...? Gosh :/

I wore goth loli on the train a few weeks ago but my boyfriend blocked me in by the window.

Then there was the parade of about 20 lolis on the subway after sakura matsuri. It didn't help that half of us were screaming down the platform at the other half who had fallen behind. There were probably many surreptitious cell phone pictures taken that day.

maybe if she didnt spend all her money on BURANDO she could buy a car.

Uhhhh some people don't care for having a car?
I don't have a car and I never intend to get one or drive, as I hate it and I am accident prone. I am happy with public transport. Is that bad?

>>4473260
What's wrong with using public transit? If you live in the big city, there's really no need to use a car unless you're buying groceries or something.

>>4473260
>girl in cute outfit
>MUST FIND SOMETHING TO BITCH ABOUT
>UHH UH, WELL THAT BITCH DOESN'T HAVE A CAR! EVERYONE EVERYWHERE NEEDS A CAR!!!

>>4473267
Are you me anon or an I you? 0-o

I'm the exact same, don't really want to drive, have no real need to drive, and am accident-prone.

>>4473246
Goddamn those boots are beast.
I fucking love rainboots and galoshes. Feelsdryman.

>>4473273
I think it's normal and I think >>4473260
is just being a jerk. How come it doesn't occur to some people that not everyone WANTS a car? It's not like I don't have a car cause I am buying brand instead, I just don't want a car so I d other things with my money.

And this >>4473268 is pretty true.
I live in London and nobody I know has a car here.

>>4473268
True.
I live out in the boonies and one thing I hate about it is needing a car to get anywhere. Not to mention how expensive gas is. It's hardly worth going to stores now since overall it's cheaper to buy online than drive to a mall.

If I lived in a city or larger town I would either just walk or take some sort of public transportation.

>>4473260

having a car in the city is pretty unnecessary- hugely expensive too. I love the CTA, 2.50 a ride~

and when I'm in school I have the godly, gold standard for public transportation- the UPass. it's like 100 bucks a semester but it's just counted among your tuition expenses. so it feels free and there's no limit to how much you can use it.

There is this one too:
http://peopleofpublictransit.com/strawberry-shortcakes-midlife-crisis/

What mid-life crisis..? I can't see very well, but it looks like a 20-something year old girl to me....

>>4473291

you're on /cgl/, you know how much people like to pick on other people for looking different.

although that dress does look pretty short.

From the site:
>because she has more money than you. Seriously, she is probably wearing clothes that cost more than you earn in a month.
And yet, I have a car.

And I seriously don't see why lolitas get so personally offended when people outside the fashion find their clothes amusing, silly, or outlandish. You had to know this would happen the minute you put on your cupcake petticoat.

>>4473268
Agree!! I am fine with trains and buses but I also walk a lot. It's great for staying fit. I walk to uni everyday (which is about 40 mins one way) and I always walk to the grocery store and for errands and stuff. I actually enjoy it. I don't think I will ever get a car unless I move somewhere with no convenient public transport links.

Heres another one from the website.

>Hello Kitty’s cheap knockoff.

>>4473294
>And yet, I have a car.

lol wow you are a retard

>>4473267
Where I live public transit is mainly used by the working poor and college students. I'm jelly of people who live somewhere that public transit is actually useful. It takes forever, the bus stops are nearly in the street and they can be dangerous. Raleigh, N.C. is made for cars (huge gaz guzzlers that hog the street). I would like to trade in my civic, but it's just not safe for a woman to wait at bus stops any later than 9pm. I also don't like people harassing me or invading my personal space- I'm about to tint my windows because I'm tired of people staring at me.

>>4473294
I don't mind if people find lolita weird and funny, of course they will. But take a candid picture and then put it up a website like that, that's just very rude

>>4473297
>Hello Kitty’s cheap knockoff.
>cheap
>brand lolita clothing

>>4473297
Are they referring to her or the luggage...? If the latter, MFW... ETC & STC a cheap knockoff of HK? Riiiiiight.....

>>4473295

I hear you. walking is one of my favorite things to do, I'll just wander around aimlessly and usually stumble upon some epic little antique shop or cafe. I actually hate driving with a passion; I'm already an anxious person and driving does not help. I can do it, but I'm much better in a slow, not-busy little town like the one I grew up in. I would NEVER drive in Chicago unless my life or someone else's depended on it.

thankfully my boyfriend really loves to drive.

.__.

>>4473243
ATLloli? I wear my loli on the MARTA all the time.

cost of me having a car:

Cost of car (thousands, minimum, if I don't want a junker) + insurance + gas to keep it going + monthly parking fee of $30 + all the parking fees I'd pay in my city where free parking is rare

Cost of bus pas and walking or biking: $10 per month.

In a city where I don't need a car and it's more expensive to have one and pointless on top of that.. hmm....

>>4473307
Would you care if it was an ugly, overweight person dressed in terrible taste having their candid photo broadcast all over the internet?

>>4473309
>>4473308
You realize the people writing that site haven't the faintest idea what your special snowflake fashion costs or the intricacies of it.. right?

>>4473304

that does sound shitty, Anon. like I've said, I live in Chicago which, despite the bitching of the people who live here, actually has an excellent public transportation system. the buses sometimes muck up, but I generally get around without the buses at all, just trains.

>>4473323
Yeah, I find it a rude thing to do to anybody

>>4473323
Dif but I would.

I don't care if it's photos from somewhere where they've posted themselves, but this whole trend of "LOL PEOPLE SHOPPING/GOING ABOUT THEIR DAY" photo is annoying.

>>4473327
Sure, but looking at the site overall it seems that stuff is submitted and written by total idiots... why would you call something a cheap knockoff if you don't even know what it is...?
Anyway, I get why the lolitas are posted, at least they do look ridiculous to outsiders I guess...
But wtf, they post someone cause he wears kneegurads? How is that funny or weird? Maybe he is on his way or back from sports? Same with posting someone with a jaw brace... Like, ok, someone has a jaw injury, what's so funny or weird about needing to wear your medical brace when outside? I just don't get it.

>>4473329
>>4473331
Well you'd be the minority, especially on this board.

>>4473337
*knee guards

>>4473337
I think you're missing the point. It's just a snarky comment on the girl and her outfit, not an observation about the brand of her suitcase.

>>4473337
I got posted to a site before because I was wearing sandals and my feet/legs are scarred to hell because of surgeries... apparently I am not allowed to wear sandals in public!

Listen up girls (and brolitas!)
Have you heard of Lolita paparazzi?
This is what we do to all the people who try to take sneak photos of us. Don't get me wrong, if someone is pleasant and asks for a photo, that is fine, we will be polite. But you know the people who snigger and whisper and covertly whip up their mobiles to take a sneaky pic?
Snap them right back, in their faces. Then post online. We have a facebook group called "Loli Paparazzi" where we post all their pics.

>>4473356

wat

I mean I know we're dicks on this board too but we generally stick to "she's too fat" and "she photoshopped this and she's saying she didn't" or "this girl is a huge cunt to everybody"

>>4473356
I have had the same thing happen! Are you me?!

>>4473361

I have heard of that, Anon. I've joined it, but since I dress mostly casual/ light gothic I've yet to get surreptitiously snapped. BUT MY BODY IS READY

>>4473365
people are dicks in general

>>4473361
Haha awesome!

I get a lot of people do that just because I have pink hair. A guy I was with at the time once got pretty annoyed because he doesn't like being in photos, lol.

>>4473315
Don't forget that most cars usually need about $500 worth of maintenance yearly.

I got a FREE car last fall that was about 12 years old and only had ~10k miles on it when i got it. It hadn't had any service for about 10 years, and one of the parts finally broke last week and it cost me around 2500 to fix the myriad things that needed servicing for lack of attention for a decade. My family was trying to get me to go buy a new car instead.

>mfw they wanted me to spend $30k instead of 2.5k

The hilarious thing about all the car arguing, is that if it's the girl I think it is, she totally has a car. Sometimes people who live in cities (or just outside them) have a car and ALSO use public transport. Parking in the city sucks, yo.

>>4473383
Ugh... buy a better car? My car is 16 years old and it needs very minimal upkeep. It's the vehicle tax, inspections and gas money that kills me...
It will not be a big deal once I'll finally done with grad school, but right now it hurts.

>>4473409
the car is fine, it just hadn't been serviced in 10 years and one of the parts, those parts that aren't designed to last more than 3-4, finally broke. You're supposed to take it to the shop more frequently than once a decade, grandma just didn't drive all that often and never needed to have it checked that often. Now that it's been checked over it should be good for a year or two, and it shouldn't need extensive maintenance like that again for a while.

There's really no sense in throwing away something that only needs a little love the second it stops working. That's a very wasteful attitude.

>>4473383
this picture would be so much better if it was Weird Al like I thought it was in the thumbnail...

>>4473272
>going out in public dressed like a moronic clown
>UR JUST JEALOUS CUZ SHE IS SO CUTE

>this is what lolitas actually believe

>>4473428
It is weird al
http://twitpic.com/4mhhkh

I love how lolitas are now trying to rationalize how it's okay to spend all your money on doll clothes and not have enough for a car.

Next you'll be trying to explain how living with your parents is a good idea.

>"I SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON LOLITA COSTUMES AND LIVE WITH MY MOM. ITS GREAT SINCE I DONT HAVE TO PAY BILLS!"

>>4473436
Ragging on other girls because of your obesity isn't very attractive, hon.

>>4473447
>>4473436
>>4473260
Samefag.

I'm not a lolita and somehow, I'm smart enough to recognize that not everyone needs a car. What a shame that you're a retard!

Fuck cars.
Public transport in my country is pretty awesome and I can just take my bike for shorter distances. Walking, too, is awesome. I might, one day, get some sort of motorized vehicle... but a car? Probably not.

>>4473375
People sneak pictures of you just because you have pink hair? What the hell. Maybe this is just because I grew up in the city, but I think that's ridiculous. I can understand ASKING for a picture if someone has really, really awesome hair and you're interested in that sort of thing, but that's not what's happening, is it?

Let's face it, most lolitas are losers. They're the female equivalent of D&D larpers. Most of them haven't graduated college, aren't married, have little or no career prospects, and get along by mooching off their family. They spend all their money on lolita clothes to try to impress people on the internet because they don't have anything else going on in their lives.

So yeah, it makes sense they'd have to take the bus. Cars cost money. And it's not like you have a real job.

>>4473459
>Kabuki Mouse

>>4473459

>>4473459
If you say so.. All the lolita I know are professionals with good careers and a great number of them have PhDs.... Maybe cause most lolis I know are older, late 20s +, but this is my experience at least.

>>4473477
I wonder if you managed to type that out while keeping a straight face.

>>4473447
Not everone in the world NEEDS a car, like they need food and shelter. I don't need a car at this point in my life, so I have some extra money to spend on hobbies. Why would it matter if these hobbies are lolita, cosplay, games, collecting anime figurines, or something equally geeky or weird? My lack of a car is not affecting you in any way, nor are the hobbies I spend my extra time and money on.

I feel bad for those people who live in areas where taking public transport is a sign of poverty. They don't sound like very pleasant places to live.

>>4473459

lol whut

quit trying to troll us

>>4473477
Is your local comm London btw? I swear every loli in London seems to have a PhD... I am still doing my MA :(

>>4473459
Really? People like you are losers for thinking everyone of a certain "kind" are all the same way.

A lot of lolitas are good people with good jobs and a healthy life. It is a fashion. Now when they act like a fashion is all they are and spend money they don't have on it, then yes you can call them whatever you'd like. Same for cosplayers. Same for every other set of people seen as "nerdy" or whatever the hell you'd like to call it.

Oh and not everyone wants a car dipshit.

>>4473485
Don't bother arguing with trolls, particularly ones that are living in their childhood room munching on Doritos while whining because a lolita went outside.

>>4473482
>implying anyone would reply to you with a straight face

>>4473498
Agreed. Wish you could beat trolls with a stick through the internet. Now there is something I would invest in. lol.

>>4473497
Or sports fans. Or stamp collectors. Anyone with any hobby at all.
Stupid, fiscally irresponsible people are stupid and fiscally irresponsible, petticoat or not.

>>4473497
Name one person in your lolita livejournal community that has a PHD as you claim. Also, I'd like to see a picture of you next to your college degree. Although you certainly wont do that, since it doesn't exist.

And yes, you want a car. You just can't afford one. And since you don't have enough of a life to mandate any real responsibilities you just waste whatever little money you have.

>lol the outfit
>lol she doesn't have a car
>lol I judge you please care
>all lolitas are the same!
>desperate trolling everywhere

Hellooooooo summertime

hey KM, the street lamps are on - better scamper home before you get grounded!

Girls, stop feeding the troll. I would think you gals would know the drill by now, especially with KabukiMouse, but apparently you need to be reminded.

Doesn't herajika have a PhD in Genetics or biology or something? Don't know for sure but someone posted it here once...

>>4473539
Why not? It would shut me up pretty quick, wouldn't it? I'd be proved wrong in an instant. Are you trying to claim that a university diploma would have some sort of special private information on it you couldnt show to the internet? That alone proves you don't have one since you dont even know whats on it.

Just man the fuck up and admit the truth: you're a loser with no job, no car, no man and want to make lame excuses on why its okay to be a loser.

>>4473530 summertime
This

Are you guys 12 or new to 4chan or something? Stop feeding the trolls. Stop trolling like it's your first time. Fucking take a walk outside already and calm down.

>>4473589
>Fucking take a walk

Sorry, I'm not a lolita. I can actually afford a car to drive in.

STOP. FEEDING. THE. TROLLS.

Damn, ladies.

>>4473597
then go drive!
I have a car and I take walks every now and then.

>>4473291
THOSE POOR SOCKS! D:

>>4473604
I have a car and I walk and ride a bike. When I'm home, I can bike where I need to go, and when I'm at university, the campus is so small that I just walk.

>out exercising

Dohoho. You almost got me.

Why are you all so easy to troll? Are you retarded? They aren't even trying, and yet here you are trying to explain yourself.

Shit like this is WHY everyone thinks you're so insecure. The fact that you think you have to explain yourself to a TROLL.

The only correct response to Kabuki Mouse is no response.

>>4473623
>>4473624
You have nothing to say except "HURR DURR TROLL DONT LOOK HIM IN THE EYES" because you have no argument. Everything I've said is true.

I saw a lolita on the bus, once. I wasn't dressed up, and I was too shy to talk to her. Fail, I know.

Once when I was dressed in lolita on the bus from school, a woman came up to me and complimented my outfit (she had to tap on my shoulder because I had my earphones in). I was really surprised that a stranger on the transit knows the fashion. It turned out she was a former member of the local community.

>>4473323
Yeah, I think it's a fucking rude thing to do to anyone, no matter what they look like. People should be able to go about their day without worrying about idiots taking pictures to laugh at with their friends.

>>4473656
Tbh, it doesn't anger me that much if someone snaps a pic of me if I wear something that stands out. What REALLY bothers me is when the assholes (like that site where that pic is from) are snapping pics of people who obviously have an injury or a medical condition as well as when they snap transvestites or transgender people who already look as if they are not 100% comfortable. I am probably sensitive with the latter, cause one of my best friends had to live his life as a woman for more than a year before he could get the final OK for his operation. And it is a hell of an awkward stage when you are on hormones and transitioning but still can't pull off the female look well enough. And then you get assholes snapping pics to submit them to sites like these... :/

>>4473561

Herajika has a PhD in (Neuro?)Biology from Cambridge. :)

>>4473774
That girl is so perfect in every way ;_;

>>4473778
I also feel mad amounts of jelly.

>>4473774
That's what I'm going for (though I'm not at Cambridge)! Awesome.

Why do people think lolita dresses cost the same amount of money as a car does? Last time I checked, my entire closet full of lolita clothing cost me less than half the price of a decent car (I'm not considering old, beat up junkers that would eventually cost 3x their original price in maintenence down the line)

If someone is spending so much on lolita clothing that they can't afford a car, then daaaaayum they must have a lot of clothing.

>>4473774
No, she is a PhD student at Cardiff University.

I have a car AND I take the bus. What now? I don't want to pay $16-$20 a day for parking.

>>4473894
no, she's already got her phd - student no longer

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

My bad- herajika got a Masters from Cambridge and a PhD from Cardiff, apparently. Either way, she's a great loli role model :3
