This whole Lolita forum is more trouble than it is worth, I think.

truculent (thank you again....) stood up for me in the mess that happened earlier in the week....But she was the only one. I never got an apology from the girl who runs the forum, who shut me down so completely. Instead, I got another girl who said: And really, no one here wants anyone who looks like they've come out of the bargain bin at hot topic to be there.
.....I never said I was going to come out of the bargain bin...I understand the fashion, I've made clothing before (nobody asked), and I've been to other smaller, loli things. I just said I couldn't afford brand. What's sadder, is Caroline is the one who invited me to the forums.... T_T
The original girl again replies with:
and imo, lolita brands are worth the money.
..............Did anybody even read my post?
I said I wanted to come in something not brand. Not because I wanted to throw off their party, but because I cannot afford it.
....
My fear was that I would be judged as 'not good enough' because it wasn't plastered with brand names. And I guess I'm glad that I checked.
Yes, it is expensive to dress lolita, regardless if you make it, or if you buy it. I'm aware of this. It's just part of the deal. And that money, I do not have....I don't have rich parents. I'm a (fairly) newlywed with plenty of bills to pay, plus college loans and car payments, and and and. Nobody asked me about how detailed my outfit was/would be. Nobody asked me about anything. They just assumed I'd be there in jeans with a skirt on top, calling myself 'lolita'.
I wasn't. I have stuff that I've made, that I like, that I look good in. Admittedly, it isn't sweet (most of the pictures seem to be sweets, but she said that other versions were welcome) But honestly. Everybody's got to start somewhere, right? Why should new people be kicked out before they even really join?
I'd posted once, introducing myself. I got one reply about where to buy cotton lace. I guess one reply is better than nothing, but it's just sad, considering how colourful the forum is when you're watching it, compared to when you actually take part.
Anyways, I've got homework to do. Fuck this whole mess. I'm done.

I hate how rude people are online. You know, it's even like that on the My Little Pony community I watch. I don't say shit on there because unless you've got a massive collection of rare mint-on-card ponies or run a collector's website, they act like you don't know anything.
Regarding clothing, I'd rather make my own stuff any day. Why would you want to buy some brand-name item that hundreds of other people probably own as well? Better to be unique. Fuck those bitches. Fuck em hard with a lit branch. And then pour acetone on the burns. Yeah...
I'm violent today... even my coworkers have informed me of this.
Bryce giggled at your Pony Snobs. I guess it's the same as Lolita snobs....If they ever sit back and look at what they're talking about....seriously....They'd feel like jerks. Or losers, to be so stupid about something so completely, well, material.
But that's fine, I guess. They belong with each other, and I'd rather have you guys anyday. ^_^
whee! new friends are amazing! Okay, so, I'm feeling a
revolution! -heh- kidding. But, really.. I'd much
prefer one cute Lolita friend then ten BITCHES!!
aghh! they make me so mad. Dropped my last comment
in the community.. and removed myself from their
stupidity.
I feel so much better. -hugs-
hm.. well, I'm Zoey. BTW. My birthday is next month,
I'm having a party.. you should TOTALLY come!
I'm presently in NW Portland.. but I'm moving to
NE/SE very soon. um.. I have a boyfriend that is
very sweet.. and I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty.
I like pie.
bye!
My name is Jen, as I'm sure you've gathered~ We live in Vancouver, but I school at Ai in NW Portland. I also greatly enjoy Hello Kitty....and pie....and I would love to come and wish you a happy birthday =^_^= I already know what to bring you-------- *scheming* I owe you for sticking up for me in that whole herd of...well....yeah. ^_^
Have a happy~!

Sorry you were disappointed, but the way you just turn your cheek always impresses me. I hope you find some fellow Lolita...ers who aren't snobs~
If all the Lolis are going to be bitches, then I'll just do my own thing. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who feel the same way about the stuck-uppedness of communities. ^_^ I'm not too worried about it. Hope you are well, darling~!
