How I First Found Out About Lolita

I came to lolita through a fairly common gateway drug: anime and manga. My pull wasn't Chii from Chobits or Misa from Death Note, but instead the character of Lucia Nahashi from the series Venus Versus Virus.

While reading the manga, the author mentioned that one of her primary influences for Lucia's dress was gothic lolita and aristocrat style. I looked a little further into lolita because I thought Lucia was an interesting character with amazing sophistication. From the fact I'm writing a lolita blog now, you can guess that I took a liking to what I discovered in that Google search and went from there.

The above post idea was originally from F Yeah Lolita's original list, Lolita 52 Challenge.
