Once again a mainstream news source has written an article about a trend imported from Japan. This time it’s the “Elegant Gothic Lolita” fashion trend, the paper is the  New York Times.

The Article

The article is interesting enough, and the girls whose pictures accompany it are cute. But for some reason they don’t look ‘Lolita-y’ enough for me. I think it is because I saw a couple of EGLs in Harajuku when I visited Japan, and they were Lolita-y to the extreme. Like creepily adorable china dolls, drowning in ruffles.

So ladies, when it comes to EGL fashion, remember…MORE RUFFLES! And more ribbons. And bonnets. And banana curls. And more ruffles. That’s the way to go!

Who could bring style and grace to the Voltron live-action adaptation better than Queer Eye for the Straight Guy director Max Mankowski? NO ONE. I *dare* you to refute that. When I think of giant multicolored lions that combine into a large humanoid mecha in post-apocalypse NYC, I think of persnickety grooming tips and bitchy queer fashionistas.

All kinds of awsomeness awaits us, friends.
