        <title>Lolita Girls - Pop Goes the Culture - AprillBrandon&apos;s Blog - Victoria Advocate</title>
        <link>http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/AprillBrandon/8104</link>
        <description>It&#039;s a trend that hit big in Japan in the 90&#039;s and in more recent years gained a following here in the U.S. Called Lolita Fashion (and thusly, those who adhere to the style are called Lolita Girls) it originated as a fasion subculture in Japan and is influenced mainly by Victorian era children&#039;s clothing and costumes from the Rococo period. 
And now it has&amp;nbsp;hit Victoria. 
On a recent Advocate discussion forum, one poster brought up the fact that she and her friends are Lolita Girls. 
Always being big into fashion and unique styles, this&amp;nbsp;got me interested in doing a story&amp;nbsp;on this unique trend from the East.&amp;nbsp;And as such, I&#039;m looking for anyone out there who is a Lolita Girl or likes to wear this style who wouldn&#039;t mind being interviewed for the story. 
If interested,&amp;nbsp;feel free to drop me a line at 361-580-6514 or email me at abrandon@vicad.com. </description>

These girls from the incident are adults. in their 20&#039;s
not teens.

                <description>Really, what is it with the Japanese and dressing like slutty schoolgirls?

I thought the school uniform with the extremely short skirts was bad enough.

The Victoria era stuff, though, that&#039;s funny - they were so freaky about sex back then, clothes from the neck to the feet.

I have yet to see a Lolita girl yet - has anyone seen them in the Mall?</description>

                <description>Yeah, I think the Sailor&#039;s right.  These are not children, or teens, they are adults which makes this even more weird and creepy than I originally thought.
What is the thinking? Like the Goth thing had a &#039;philosphy&#039; if you will.  What is attached to this way of dress?
I guessing, &quot;I&#039;m looking for a daddy who won&#039;t make me grow up...&quot;</description>
