Huh. The comments in that article are kind of ... out there.

Yeah what the hell. I tried to send the owner this message on MySpace, but she has her profile set to friends only messaging.

"I was wondering if you could explain why your store is "no boys allowed." Is this supposed to deter creepers, pedophiles, or is it brolitas? I am a female, but I ask because this would mean a boyfriend who happens to be visiting the area can't enter your shop for myself.
I saw your comment to someone else on a news article and I do hope you can contain yourself long enough to answer politely without biting my head off like you did them."

Irony: while she was on break, some asian dude was handling her shop/money.

She also apparently lectured two of the lolitas who went to her booth about how American lolitas do it wrong, and that Japanese lolitas "never go matchy-matchy" or color coordinate. I just kind of went "bwah?" Apparently she hasn't seen Sae and majority of the other Japanese bloggin' lolitas?
