Montreal Meetups. Do they happen?

So, once upon a time Montreal held a huge meetup for it's gigantic Lolita community. Actually, it really wasn't all that long ago. It was just last year sometime. A couple people that I know went to it...but unfortunately I didn't hear about it in time and even if I had I'm not sure I would have gone.

I've never been to a meetup. Why, you ask? Well, I live in Montreal and I don't speak French. At all. This proves problematic since a good portion of the Montreal Lolita community is primarily French. I know, I know, I ought to just suck it up and learn the language - but it's hard!

Anyways, I'm getting back to the point now. I've only ever heard of that one Lolita meetup. It seems they just don't happen anymore. Sure there's still QC-Harajuku, but why would I want to spend the night at a club full of cosplayers and weaboos? I put up with enough of that craziness at Otakuthon once a year and that's more than enough. I want a strictly Lolita gathering to attend.

Should I host my own?

Honestly, I would love to. Something small and cozy in Old Montreal, I could invite the few Lolita friends I have and tell them to bring some people along....I work better in smaller groups anyways. But you know, even though my few loli-pals speak English to me, they don't with each other. And thus I get left out of many a conversation.

How lame am I?

Any help from the Lolita community?

April Showers

....bring May flowers.

Well I certainly hope this is the case. It's been raining constantly here in Montreal and I've felt more tired than ever. So much for summoning the willpower to get dressed up or wear Lolita.

I have been browsing through various sites though to see what's new and right now I'm particularly fond of floral and spring prints. I know, shocker! This coming from a Gothic Lolita?

Perhaps I'm morphing. Perhaps my style will evolve to encompass ALL the Lolita styles. And then some.

Just now I'm perusing Bodyline's website and I've come across this gem that would be so wonderful for spring:

I just adore the black version of this, but the pink is nice too I suppose.


Moitié's Holly Queen skirt is nice too and I rarely crave anything from that bland line:

Of course, my financial situation is still absolutely dismal and so for now I shall be purchasing...nothing.
