The girls in melbourne are organizing a massive group order on oz_lolita.
It is awesome to support these kinds of things, especially since it is their first issue and they have worked so hard for months!

I don't know if anyone of you knows about it, but someone in the US has created the very first English Language Lolita Magazine! I'm actually one of the photographers for it (not the first issue tho)!
The girls in melbourne are organizing a massive group order on oz_lolita.
It is awesome to support these kinds of things, especially since it is their first issue and they have worked so hard for months!

wow, that sounds fantastic! that would definitely help the Lolita market and interest in the west grow! ^_^ also, it'd be interesting to see what the differences between japanese and western concepts and ideas are. i just hope that they wont try to copy exactly what bible does. but seeing that they won't get brand names to advertise for them for the time being i wonder what stuff they will feature. maybe in the future when the magazine gets enough attention japanese brands will want them to feature their clothes in the magazine. (o^-')b or even better, western lolita companies will spring up!
in any case, i'm really happy that west fans are putting together a magazine!
p/s: i would buy one, but i'm totally broke now coz of SOMEONE giving me a link to gothic punk clothes shop on ebay, and also coz of the lolita meetup... -_-lll

Just saying, I like the mags for the pretty and inspirational pictures
