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.

	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
