How Did You Discover Lolita?

I've seen posts about how we've moved from our old styles to lolita, but I have wondered how did everyone discover it.
Did you see it in a book? A movie perhaps? Maybe someone introduced it to you and you fell in love. Did you see someone wearing in and got curious about the style?
I'm curious too hear how everyone discovered Lolita!

As for myself, I had briefly seen it in mangas and such, but I didn't really know the style until a friend of mine introduced me to it. Of course I fell head over heels in love. :3
