EGL Archive: April 2003

April 9, 2003

There is a post asking if there are any Jenny dolls with legitimate Lolita outfits. They say that they think they saw one wearing a "GothLoli styled outfit."

Well, while I'm not completely familiar with the Jenny dolls of the past, I know for certain that Baby the Stars Shine bright had at least one collaboration with the doll brand. I have seen these dolls in two different color variations of the Sugar Bouquet print series.

The last one I am including in this segment is a much newer version, which is a new collaboration with the brand Sanrio for the anniversary of the Little Twin Stars. However, because these are a Japanese brand, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there were many more lolita looking dolls just because, of course, Japan is where lolita and "kawaii" styled clothing originated, these just happen to be the two.

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...

The birth of daily_lolita

So long before we had Closet of Frills, facebook communities in general, Tumblr, Instagram, and even #eglcommunity, everyone posted everything from thoughts and musings, photoshoots, meetup photos and even haul and sales posts onto EGL. As the years progressed, and more traffic began to flow through EGL, smaller sub communities begun to pop up. There were communities dedicated to specific brand appreciation, local communities, sales, and finally, daily coord posts. Daily_lolita was created on August 1st, 2007 by user swdpunk, and here is her first contribution to the newly created community which would go on to be almost as big as EGL itself! The breakdown! flower: claires? I don't remember. top: DISNEY COUTURE LOL from hot topic *thumbs up* skirt: emily temple cute shoes: target Later on that day swdpunk posted again: What I'm wearing today: Skirt- handmade by me bow, cutsew, wrist cuffs, parasol, shoes- baby bag- vintage And we are lucky enough to hav...
