I loved j-rock when I was in high school and searched the internet far and wide to get my hands on a copy of the first Gothic and Lolita Bible (which I still have) because of Mana in it.

I think I stopped being lolita the day my heart broke and I almost got divorced from my husband. (We've since been on the mend and things are great now but it completely changed my life.) I just can't find the spark that made me love the fashion in the first place... with time it may come back to me.
