I've never heard of it... could you tell us anything else about it?

I'm sure if you read the posts in this thread you'd get a pretty good idea of what it is. Plus there aren't search engines on the internet for nothing.

By any chance is there a male side to the gothic lolita culture?
or do we just try and look like jrockers?

Yup, Gothic Aristocrat heart

Hmmm, very creepy  

[whore27]

i think it's pretty cool i've always like lolita clothes they're so pretty  

[Lexiegirl]

Yeah. You can buy almost all of them at www.jbox.com . If only I could read japanese.... sweatdrop

I saw a "Gothic Bible" In books-a-million the other day. I don't if there is a difference between that one and the one you are talking about though. I think it would be worth buying. Probably very interesting. My mom would freak though if she ever saw me with one of those. Lol she's pretty supportive of the style but she gets freaked out about the books. Haha.

I agree. Maybe you should try finding it in a library or something like that.

yup, i'd have to say the same thing, and might follow the tip myself

I highly doubt any library in the states is going to have it - the whole thing is pretty much a fashion mag and written entirely in Japanese. And you have to be EXTREMELY careful with them as they get older, because the glue tends to wear out.

I'm pretty sure to subscribe to the GLB, you probably need to live in Japan, but they sell them on Ebay all the time. That's where I get mine.
In addition to pictures of the newest gothic and lolita clothing, it also includes a few sewing patterns, hair and makeup tips, and recipes and interviews with models, jrockers, and designers. Depending on which issue you get, some have posters or other goodies.
It's a really good view of 'what's hot' in Lolitaland.
There's also pics of street lolitas in addition to the models, so there's a lot of representation on the different lolita styles.
If often features icons such as Mana, Kana, Aya, Miyavi, and Novala Takemoto.
Even if you can't read Japanese, if your into the goth/lolita/punk stuff, it's a good buy. *usually around $25, though*

Omigawsh, I love the G LOL Bibles. :3 The have such pretty models with pretty clootheess. I was looking through a bunch at Otakon. But when I left and went back to buy them later...they were gone. D:

[hollyzilla]

ooohh~ sounds cool. havent heard of it til now...but ill do a search on sites of scans & post the good ones if anyone wants to see them.  

[glitteryvaux]

Although I own most of them, I am unfortunately too lazy at the moment to do the scanning my self.

Male's don't have to cross-dress...
...like the great Mana...
... But that was the original intention.
Mana's such a hottie!!!
