GOTHLOLI OF THE WEEK #74: MALICE.
† Name: Malice
† Age: 666 in alien years (20 in human years)
† Location: Atlanta, Georgia
† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
6 years ago through J-rock and Visual Kei. I used to be obsessed with Mana and so through him I found the Gothic and Lolita Bible. At the time I was a romantic Goth, so I would wear corsets and long ruffled skirts every day, so Gothic Lolita seemed like a step up from what I was already wearing. Through the years my tastes changed and I soon fell in love with all the other Japanese fashion subcultures. Right now I’m more into cyber and decora but I still love Lolita (especially sweet!)
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
I love feeling like a modern day Marie Antoinette. I love the poof and the frills. I also love mixing styles like decora, cyber, and fairy kei with Lolita (I don’t think I’ve tackled them all yet).
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
Angelic Pretty, Excentrique, Alice Auaa, Atelier Boz, Shotgun Wedding, Chocochip Cookie.
† Any other comments (inspiration, tips, favorites)?
Life is way too short and fashion is way to arbitrary for you to follow a strict set of rules all the time. Don’t let rules stifle your creativity, but make sure you look fabulous too.
Film of the Week #22: Tokyo Gore Police (Eihi Shiina, dir. Yoshihiro Nishimura. The blood! The camp! A riotous film for anyone who loved Ichi the Killer, Kill Bill, and Lone Wolf.)
