Well, I really hate when my 13 year old female students roll their skirts up so far, their hems are at the same level as their underpants. Interested parties don't even need to use the mirror trick or a carefully directed gust of wind. Why bother when the normal walking of the girl in question accomplishes the same thing?
Not really a fashion thing, I suppose. In my day, all of 14 years ago (ancient, I know), it was hems must not be more than an inch above the knees, and girls rarely got away with getting it more than two or three inches above that before being scolded. The longer in Japan, the more I feel the leaders of second wave feminism, like Betty Friedan, are spinning in their graves. Oh... wait... this applies to the US as well. Third Wave and Fourth Wave have sorta let us down. When we started thinking Girl Power could really be represented by the Spice Girls, feminism was in dire straits. |

If you'll compare romantic gothic and true gothic Lolita - and by this I mean the real old-school gothic Lolita, not the whole 'this dress could be covered in cakes and ponies and fit right in with the sweet crowd but it's black so it must be goth' idea that generally is either just black-and-white or kuro... you'll find the two not all so dissimilar. Are you just talking about industrial/cyber gothic here? Because there is more than one type of goth, you know, and they're not all unfrilly! :3 Compare: ![]() ![]() (Not perhaps amazing pictures, and the first seems more steampunk, but for some reason Google seems to have something of a deficit of decent romantigoth photos.) with: ![]() ![]() Perhaps you're confusing the term 'gothic Lolita' as a name for the whole fashion, rather than a subsection of it? Since there has been some confusion about that. Gothic Lolita should only refer to that substyle, not to the whole kaboodle of sweet Lolita, classic Lolita, oriental-inspired Lolita, and so on. Personally I'm not all so keen on J-punk. I love it in Lolita or Ouji form, but oh boy do some of those people look scary!
