EGL Archives- January 2002

January 5, 2002
Someone asks the difference between bloomers and drawers, and get this magical response:

Either way, we typically refer to them as bloomers in this fashion.

January 27, 2002

This post about an early western indie brand piqued my interest. Unfortunately, none of the links work. So, I decided to try and snoop around on Google and see if I could find anything.

They still seem to be active on both Facebook and Etsy! Not lolita, but there are a lot of gorgeous Gothic and Victorian designs! I really wish I could find some older lolita inspired designs!

Unfortunately out of 21 posts, this is all that was savable for January. Though I am happy that it seems like at least one early brand has been able to stand the tests of time!

EGL Archive: February - March 2003

February contained a total of 72 individual posts. It's still about a year away from when I first discovered the fashion and then later on stumbled upon EGL in my hunt to learn more, and in 2004, I consider the amount of traffic it received to be quite slow compared to what it would become in later years, even with outside communities such as d_l and the like. February 3, 2003 Well I sure as shit was shocked to see this entry from lillyxandra . At first glance I was about to skip past what seemed like yet another dead-linked post, but then I noticed the name in the link! They aren't a lolita brand at all anymore(if they ever really were), but they do have a ton of beautiful ethereal designs that you might like checking out anyways, just because everything on their Facebook is so beautiful, luxurious and highly detailed. I only wish we were able to see what their earliest designs looked like. If you're interested in checking out the modern Firefly Path, go visit th...

2021 Wardrobe Post

Wow! Long time no post! Man I really missed writing plus 2020 was such a nightmare, I am so glad to finally have a spare minute to post on this blog again. As you know, the January Wardrobe theme has been a tradition spanning the past decade, starting with this post 10 years ago on EGL. By now I have already added my wardrobe videos to my YouTube channel featuring some of my favorite details of each piece. However, since it was done during the first few days of the new year, I still had some late arriving new additions to my wardrobe that didn’t make the video, so this is definitely a more complete documentation of my current wardrobe. Just as in my videos, I will be starting with main pieces, but organized by brand, rather than cut. I may add the last few things I am waiting for in the mail within the next few days. My last 3 packages are scheduled to arrive the first week of February, however I wanted to post this before January was up, and of course, here we are on the very la...

2026 Wardrobe Post

Wow I didn’t expect this blog to stay vacant for so long. In all honesty I never expected to abandon this blog completely, however, I honestly have a hard time keeping up with most social media with 3 small children. Yes, THREE! The last time I posted my thoughts, I had one small girl and was pregnant with the second, and now I haveTHREE girls, the youngest now being 2. I am most frequently on IG now for the quick and easy stories post, and the more infrequent YouTube, where I post random projects and rambling of coord ideas and crafts that have caught my attention. That said, I frequently miss the days of the EGL Livejournal community, and even towards its decline, the yearly LJ migration in January for the yearly wardrobe posts. So I will be frank, but so much has changed from my last post, more than just the number of children we have…We were originally located in Southern Arizona, then moved to eastern Washington, and now we find ourselves in ALASKA! Wow what a jump! Wha...
