So now that I'm safely back home and don't have to drive anywhere for a couple days so I can just relax - I have awesome news! I just signed a contract to be the face for one of my favorite brands! And we've finished filming on my movie so long as we don't have to do any reshoots which - THANK GOD! I love my costars but it'll be nice to have one less thing to keep me from sleeping in. And maybe in the Spring I can register for more semester hours to get back on track for graduating on time with Mina.

Bad news though - I won't be able to use Pinterest to save pictures on for people to search or Etsy to buy accessories for my new outfits since their companies have decided to ban Lolita fashion on their platforms because it 'exploits and sexualizes children'. How does dressing like a fluffy pastel cupcake in outfits that cost hundreds of dollars and are designed to be bought and worn by adults sexualize a child? It's scandalous in Lolita fashion to show your shoulders and knees.

And yes before anyone points it out to me - I'm aware of the novel.

Way to go for the contract!

I know nothing about Lolita fashion, what is it?

Thank you!

It's a fashion style that was created in Japan but it's based of Rococo and Victorian gowns. It's got a lot of subsets - I fall under sweet lolita primarily with pastels and candy patterns.

Welcome!

Huh, never heard of it.

It's not mainstream fashion. I got into it because my best friends mom was into it when she was younger. She's actually how I got my vintage stuff for the most part.

You call her mother, that's really sweet.

She's more my mom than my birth mom in a lot of ways. Her and her husband are Daddy's best friends from his college days. They helped raise me.

Not the traditional family unit over here but we make it work.

Same here, your chosen family is truly family too.

You like that look? It's all just too much for me.

I do! It can be a lot but I guess that's why I always liked it? I was so limited in how I could express myself growing up because of contracts - but my clothes...they couldn't say no to that. Okaasan wouldn't let that be put in contracts.

And I think she selfishly liked having someone to pass her old dresses down to since Mina wasn't into the style.

If you like it that much, I can probably look into where else that style is available.

You're welcome. Is there any particular style you like?

I'm a Sweet Lolita primarily.

Congrats on the contract. The rest is BS.

Want to join me and Okaasan in emailing the crap out of Pinterest to complain? Or at the very least send food and caffeine?

I'll bring food and caffeine to you and offer moral support for the email process.

Thanks Ben. I know it's not a super huge deal in the grand scheme of things but it still annoys me. Because the reasoning is ridiculous.

You'd think someone in their office could have done a simple google right? To learn that the fashion and the book have NOTHING in common!

Right? I just. I'm so FRUSTRATED. Because now other platforms are going to start banning it for this same bullshit reason and I won't be able to post my pictures anywhere!

Is there any way around it?

I don't know yet. I'm going to have to do some experimental searching to see what phrases come up with a strike.

And some googling to find new places to buy cute accessories.
