For those who are unfamiliar, Lolita is a fashion subculture in Japan that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is primarily influenced by Victorian children clothing, as well as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

costumes from the Rococo period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lolita has made this into a unique fashion by adding gothic and original<\/p>\n\n\n\n

design elements to the look. From this, Lolita fashion has evolved into<\/p>\n\n\n\n

several different sub …styles and has created a devoted subculture in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan. The Lolita look consists primarily of a knee- length skirt or dress,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

headdress, blouse, petticoat, knee-high socks or stockings, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

rocking horse or high heel\/platform shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees are encouraged to bring food, since there will be a potluck with the photo shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope to see you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
