lolita

The New York Times had a nice article about a new store in New York selling Lolita clothing, etc. The Times requires registration, so I'm just posting the link to the store instead. But, basically, those in search of Harajuku gear in NYC will have some place to go other than Kinokuniya. I'm hoping the store does well.

One of the major Japanese fashion movements is the Lolita movement. First off, this is not the lolita from the sexy novel. It's not a movement about a sexual style. In point of fact, there is less skin showing in this fashion style than in most others worn by young people.

Inside Little Tokyo’s Kyoto Grand Hotel over the weekend, dozens of Lolitas gathered for Yumemiru Musical Paradise, a fashion and music extravaganza hosted by Cosplay Oneesan. The primarily female crowd, ranging in age from pre-teen to late-twenties, traveled from across the U.S. to attend.
