<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_Lolita" target="_blank">Gothic Lolita</a> trend has crossed over from Japan's Harajuku district to America's city streets, with many varied styles and subgenres resulting as variations on the theme. </p>
<p>According to a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/28/nyregion/thecity/28trib.html?_r=1&scp=3&sq=gothic%20lolita&st=cse&oref=slogin" target="_blank">recent New York Times article</a> on Gothic Lolita culture, "Theirs is a world in which the childhood fantasy of <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>
seems to collide full force with the Addams Family. Its myriad
influences include Victorian children’s wear, the French Rococo period,
goth-inspired darkness and Japanese anime...The style, which emerged from the Japanese street fashion scene in the 1990s, has many incarnations and subsects, among them Elegant Gothic Lolitas, Erotic Lolitas, Gory Lolitas, Sweet Lolitas and
White Lolitas. While some practitioners veer toward the goth influence
with inky black garb, others emphasize what they describe as 'cuteness' expressed through pastel colors and pretty bows."</p>
<p>The article also stresses how many of the fashions favored by Lolitas are constructed by independent artisans, as the subculture still exists as such a niche market. (With many turning to Etsy for up and coming styles!)</p>

<p>It's just barely September, but I wake in the middle of the night, having sleep-walked to my closet, daintily fondling my black lace gloves by the light of a drippy candle. How did this kohl find its way round my eyes? From whence are these faux cobwebs in my hair?<br /><br />All I can do is put <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sisters_of_Mercy" target="_blank">Sisters of Mercy</a> on the stereo, gurgle some warm milk (with fake blood), and put myself back to sleep with visions of skeletons jumping over tombstones.<br /><br />Below are some delightful <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title&search_query=neo+victorian">Neo-Victorian</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title&search_query=gothic+lolita">gothic lolita</a> trappings for the spooky ones amongst us.
