The EGL Community

Hello all-

I've found a really great Victorian-era etiquette ebook online that I thought a few of you may be interested in. It's great for "lifestyle" lolitas, and even if you don't adhere to the lifestyle (which I personally don't), it's still a really interesting read.  It details how one should act and present oneself in polite society and on certain special occasions such as dinner parties, weddings, and funerals, and depending on which version you download it also has some great illustrations.  So whether you take it seriously, or for the lolz, I think it's worth checking out.

You can find it here.

I realized I haven't pimped this here (or had and forgotten about it), With permission from carnet_atelier :

Are there any EGL meetings in Southern California coming up soon?

A couple weeks ago, the Hawaii lolis decided it was time to try a theme meetup. Since our lolita wardrobes range from a few pieces to not enough space in the closet, we went with the simple color scheme, black and white.

To anyone who lives near Manchester and likes to sew, I've just been to Abbacan and they're selling musical themed ribbon! It's in BxW and WxB, and about an inch thick. The design is a stave with a melody running through it, I was going to buy some myself but I didn't have time.

Just thought I'd let those know who were interested!

This one is more Gothic lolita or egl-ega, something maybe for EGL I thought...some of you maybe don't find it very lolita, but I hope you like it ^^

In case you haven't already noticed, some official pictures have been posted on Baby's blog of the Paris Window Print JSK...it's only one type, not both. I thought I'd post these here since there has been a lot of interest of this particular print in the comm.

See the pics under the cut!

Here's some photos from nova_lolitas's meet-up today ^_^ It was a small group today, but still fun!

I thought it would be fun for everyone to post tips and tricks that can benefit lolitas.
I will start:
1) Mr. Clean magic erasure works great on taking small stains off of parasols and shoes
2) Putting your shoes(please use caution. avoid shoes with fabric hanging from them or held together with lots of glue!!) on the top rack of your dishwasher,with a little bit of soap, is a great way to give them a face lift. It takes off all that caked dirt on the bottom of them shoes and also makes them look a lot whiter/brighter.
ok.. your turn!
