This is probably the worst article about this fashion I've ever read. As many of the previous comments have said in their own ways (though I feel that trying to use proper language without swearing is a more meaningful response), in writing this article, you have shown that you know nothing about this fashion.
First I would like to point out that lolita fashion has many categories. It is not all Gothic Lolita. The picture on this cover is Sweet Lolita, or Classical Lolita, not Gothic.
Second, good lolita fashion has strict guidelines. While piercings can be acceptable, they are most certainly not an aspect of this fashion. In fact, many lolitas frown upon them. Black eyeliner is rarely acceptable.
Third, many of the photos in this book have nothing to do with Lolita fashion, Gothic or otherwise.
This has absolutely nothing to do with lolita. Nothing at all! Plus, I fail to see anything unique, original, or even cool or interesting, about that outfit that merits it being looked at more that once, let alone in a book.
I'm pretty sure I can say for all the lolitas out there, that we do not appreciate this book or your article, neither of which lend themselves to a true view of our fashion.
Also I cannot understand why a historically based fashion is the "freakiest" fashion in Japan. And Lolita accessories have nothing to do with school shootings. I've never shot anything with a tote bag or a parasol.
