Lolita fashion is very D.I.Y. which is why I love it so. The look can be easily adapted to any theme you can think of. One of the more ever growing lolita looks is "nautical lolita" or "sailor lolita". This look can include sailor collars and ties, sailor hats and stripes. This look is not to be confused with "seifuku" which is the Japanese sailor-style school uniforms. Another recently popular substyle is "pirate lolita", which is very heavy on the jewelry.
Sailor Lolitas!

Adam Ant the Pirate and Daryl Hannah The Mermaid
It's the new harvest moon (a full moon) and I showed the crew of Naughty Nautical Nite the Stand and Deliver video from Adam Ant to give them inspiration for young aspiring lads as to what to wear for punk rock pirate D.I.Y. Couture.
Little did I know in doing so I would crack open my heart and brain so that for the last 4-5 days, day and night I can't get images of Adam Ant out of my mind! I'm working all day every day and all the other usual million shenanigans, but the whole time his songs play in my mind. Every spare moment I have, I watch his videos on repeat and Vincent found a video documentary on him that made it worse. At night I can barely sleep and when I do, I dream about Adam Ant. Jesus!
I've been crying about his ill mental health, while meditating to get over whatever chasm in my brain that video caused! I'm crying for his brain, but maybe I should look in the mirror. (like Adam Ant in the video Stand and Deliver...Aaarrrg!)
Anyways back to reality. I've always been on a Daryl Hanna kick, anyone with eyes in their head can see that. But now I realize after drawing the two Daryl and Adam LOOK ALIKE. They have the same forehead, nose, jawline, eyes, everything. My psychoanalysis of all this is that I saw Stand and Deliver and Splash in the same year, 1984, when I was 13. Clearly, these two made me the responsible adult I am today, who thinks she is a mermaid/pirate and does art and faggy cabarets while living in a dream world about what it would be like to sail the Caribbean. I think this is some unfinished business from my childhood (but what the heck isn't). Oh I just realized something, this is the same year I saw The Last Unicorn too...I'm totally fucked.
^v^ Thanks ^v^
A special thanks to Daniela Ballone for this beautiful portrait she made of me! Isn’t it wonderful!
