Hello frilly world

 So, I've decided to start a new blog. This blog is basically just a place for me to talk about my interest in alternative fashion, particularly lolita/ouji fashion and somewhat vent about things... Today is actually the 11th anniversary of my first ever meet, but I'll talk more about my lolita history in the future.

Anyway, I'm Matt, I'm 32 years old and from the UK. I previously had a blog back in 2012-2015 called 'Mattemo Cosplaystuff', where I talked about cosplay and conventions, with a little bit of lolita fashion thrown in too. This post is basically just intended as a small intro to start off with.

My Lolita Life Part 5: Being a comm-sick lonelita

 Here we go, the last (as of now) part of this, bringing my lolita life up to date... Now we're up to 2020, and so conventions were cancelled, so suddenly I couldn't really be a con lolita any more! I haven't been to a convention since September 2019, though hopefully that'll change soon... At this point I only had a few old lolita friends still remaining, I'd only been to one meet in 5 years and things haven't really changed in the last 3... However, I had no idea what would happen to me regarding the fashion during 2020... It all starts at the end up June when I decided to watch past videos of an anime convention that would've been on that weekend... This included some videos from Victor Lockhart (yes, I'm actually naming names here, since this is about people I've discovered in recent years who I don't actually know in person...) who wears gothic fashion and is also a cosplayer... Funnily enough, he has since been to a lolita tea party in ouji

My Lolita Life Part 3: Everything Is Almost Ruined

 Ah, here we go, the 2014-15 era, time to re-visit my most active time in the fashion, but also the most horrible time for me in the community... Time to get salty over things that happened years ago, about false friends, posts on forums and what led to me almost quit the fashion... I've said before about how the early-mid 2010's was the worst time to join and this was, for me, the worst of it all... So, where do we start... Well, I mentioned that my local comm started doing meets in early 2014... I believe the first one was in February, and then there was another in March (which I think was actually a meet from the large comm I mentioned before...) though admittedly I can't even remember what I wore! I think it's probably because these two meets felt rather insignificant compared to what was about to happen... Those co-ords can't have been very good anyway, since in April I ordered a whole bunch of made-to-order lolita clothes from an indie brand, here in the UK, b

My Lolita Life Part 4: Being a Con-Lolita

 So, 2015 was a disastrous year for me! Especially in the case of lolita fashion where I ended up considering leaving it, selling up and moving on... And yes, maybe I was a 'tag-along-loser-at-the-cool-kids-table', to steal a quote from a popular lolita blogger, but I enjoyed going to meets and the IRL comms I was part of (except one which ended up being too good to be true...) seemed to be fine with putting up with me... During 2014 and 2015 I had expanded my wardrobe and my co-ords were starting to see improvement... If I hadn't quit the community or had even gone to more meets during 2015, then maybe the lolita fashion community would have seen my improvement quicker and maybe I wouldn't have quit the community... And maybe I would've bought more clothes, as my wardrobe hasn't changed much in the years since... And I wouldn't have lost some good friends, though as there were some lolitas I thought I was good friends with who didn't re-add me after del
