Yeah I can't believe I got one, let alone two!! My ss is going to see if someone is interested in the Ivory she got me, if not I'm sure someone in the Bay will be interested (ΘεΘ;) or I'll just have it in two colors? lol!!
As part of a final paper in my Anthropology of Sex, Gender, and Sexuality class I am going to be looking at Lolita Fashion and its views on gender and gender roles.

So, if you dress in lolita fashiona and you just happen to see this post on your dash, please feel free to fill out the survey below the cut. If I am tagging you in this post, then you should already know about this. Thank you for your time and help!

So we were thinking of going to Japan Town after for lunch, would you be alright with that?
Thank you haha.
