What not to wear, and their anti-lolita actions.

I was browsing online looking for references for my last blog post, when I came across this article. The article is a review on an episode of What Not to Wear called "Lexa the Weird Lolita". I read it out of curiosity, and I was outraged! The told her she didn't understand the "sexual connotations" of her fashion and call her a "Kinky Bitch". Which I cannot believe they got away with! In which the article says is all about the book Lolita and the anime/manga community (which apparently is all sexual too, cause every anime out there is porn *rolls eyes*).

After Lexa gets really mad at them for insulting her fashion, the article acts like she is a indecisive, ungrateful brat.

They go on to throw out her wardrobe, and put in clothing that she didn't like! Yes, THEY THREW OUT HER WARDROBE. Literally, threw away all that expensive clothing! And all though I admit she wasn't the best at coordinating, they had no right to do what they did!


Here are some videos from the episode. They piss me off, to say the least.

Okay, enough of my ranting. What do you ladies (and the occasional gentlemen :D ) think of this? 


 

EDIT:
You have all made it quite clear that this has been brought up before, and I understand why that would be annoying. I apologize for bringing it up again. I haven't been on EGL for that long, so I had no idea that it had. It also didn't occur to me to search EGL history because A) I was really pissed off at the time. B) I am used to checking for answers to my questions before asking them, but it has never been a problem with anything else up until now. I totally understand a couple saying "This has been talked about before!" but once it already been said about five times. There is no reason to repeat it. Also, judging by the people discussing the article, it seems I wasn't the only one who didn't know about it, so there is no reason to get mad at me. >.< Thank you.
