If you post any girls and call them ‘ita’, I will lose all respect for you. It’s unfair. Not everyone can afford the big dresses and petticoats. So what if they buy dresses from hot topic or milanoo? If they’re having fun and they feel confident, leave them alone and show respect. It’s unfair and cruel, I’m fed up of seeing these poor people harassed.

Milanoo is a scam. Hot topic doesn’t sell Lolita dresses. You can buy an older JSK from Bodyline for less than what you would spend at either of those places. I agree that no one should be harrassed for what they choose to wear, but they should also do their research to find that there are many affordable ways to get good quality, legit Lolita pieces.

If they enjoy wearing hot topic dresses, that’s perfectly fine, but they should be aware that it isn’t Lolita.

If they enjoy wearing Milanoo pieces, that’s perfectly fine, too, but they should be aware of their business practices and the alternatives.

Not everybody even knows what lolita is, so maybe you will look at someone wearing a dress from Hot Topic and decide for them that they are trying to wear lolita, but you might be wrong.

In the case of Milanoo: Some kind of help is the kind of help that helping is all about, and some kind of help is the kind of help that one could do without. If someone makes a post about Milanoo, politely advising them that it may not be the safest choice is the right kind of help. Providing links to trusted websites is also the right kind of help. Getting pissed off and rambling about why so and so didn’t know that they should have spent 10 years researching lolita before they threw on some co-ord from Milanoo or Hot Topic is the wrong kind of help. It makes people feel like the lolita community is pompous and mean, and sometimes people decide they want no part of it.

If you don’t know that there is an issue, you often don’t think to do any research.

Miss the old bodyline prices? Well there is a way to knock down that final price of yours, even if only a little bit.

1. First head to the english bodyline website, like you would do normally

2. Pick what you want, add it to your cart - like you’d do normally! 

3. Now instead of going on your way and paying, head to the top of the page:

Click Japanese Yen.

4. That’s it! Click shopping cart and pay as you normally would. 

Now if you want to know what the price comes to I suggest using paypal’s currency converter to convert the yen into your currency. 

Example:

I added $87 worth of bodyline to my shopping cart, according to them.

With airmail you will save a total of $20.52. You’re basically getting free shipping and then an extra ten dollars back!

With EMS you will save a total of $25.89 That’s like getting EMS shipping for airmail’s prices!

I’ve used this technique myself and it works.

Happy shopping!

If only I’d had this the 400 previous times I’d ordered from Bodyline. ><

Holy fabulous shopping tip, Batman! If only I had money, I’d hop on a couple of the items I want from them.

I just tested it out and holy crap! Why does that happen? =O

There’s a pretty good chance that they’re rounding up the USD prices.

They are a Milanoo spambot blog that just messaged me (with their trademark awful grammar), digging up some crap from maybe a month ago, when I last called them out.

Please report them to abuse@tumblr.com, so that this spambot blog gets deleted.

Hi Kristi :) If you are who I think you are, long time to talk or see! I’m glad to hear that you liked my photography page , and my blog :)

I think my favorite lolita style is sailor loli, but it’s really hard to find pictures! I really like gothic lolita, too.
