Tomoyo, an inspiration.

"Being a life style lolita isn`t easy" "Wearing lolita every day isn`t easy" "Being the only lolita in your area isn`t easy" "Being an overweighted lolita isn`t easy" Those are some of the phrases that we hear pretty often.

Let me present you one of my best internet friends and one of my inspirations.

She`s Tomoyo-chan. She`s a lifestyle lolita, wears the style every day, lives in a very little town where nobody knows about lolita or harajuku styles and is plus sized. She also has one of the most beautiful brainbows and sweet personalities had I had ever met.

She proves to me that when you have a real passion for something nothing can stop you from doing what you love.

Life isn`t gentle for some of us. She had passed through a lot, but still having a charming heart.

She`s one of those lolitas that represents the old school spirit, the one that Takemoto Novala and the character Momoko showed us.

Dear Tomoyo, thank you for being my friend, showing me how we all should love ourselves & being an awesome lolita. Please keep it that way.

Be who you want to be!

Everytime I listen to people saying they can`t be good looking or wear something I just can`t belive it.

All my childhood and my early teen years I was the smart but ugly and fat girl. I can remember the classmates bulling me, the guys talking about who was the ugliest girl in the classroom and of couse I was part of the contest. Going to the PC lab was painful because they were mirrors everywhere... By far, it wasn`t the easiest time of my life. I didn`t have any self-steam and I was soooo self-conscious. At the same time, I wasn`t beautiful in the inside as I`m today. By that time, I didn`t belive in magic or kindness.

So then, what happened?

I don't really know what exactly made me want to change. It was a combination of different elements and situations. I was meeting new people, discovering new things, living in a different place, etc... But the most important one, I realized how beauty can come in different forms and styles. I started dreaming and Japanese street fashion took an important place in my life. It wasn't an easy or quick change because even know I am still working for being who I want to be. But without any doubt is worth it.

I'm not telling you to put loads of make up on, starve or wear fancy clothes because the biggest part of beauty comes from the inside. In my opinion, people brigth the most because of who we are on the inside and the outside is just there to complete.

Other important point is the "fake" part. Japanese styles usually can turn "fake" easily: wigs, circle lenses, lashes, nails, etc... Wearing these elements doesn't make you fake or wanna be. As long as you wear them to look in the way you feel. Let me explain my point, if you feel like a doll (an antique one or Barbie) and you want to look like one too, you are just being who you really are.

And remember don't ever be ashamed of who you are and don't ever limit yourself to what people expects from you.
