Welcome among us. This community aims to unite everyone in Canada who have an interest for the lolita, aristocrat or kodona fashion and lifestyles in all their subgenres: elegant gothic lolita, gothic lolita, shiro loli, kuro loli, sweet lolita, country lolita, wa lolita, elegant gothic aristocrat, gothic aristocrat, kodona, ouji-sama, dandy, and so on.
This is a place for those who made these styles part of their lives, but also for those who only wish to learn about them, in totality or in some aspects only. Whatever your motivation and wherever your interest comes from, you are welcome to share it with us.
We also wish to make it possible for canadian lolitas, aristos and kodona to meet and plan activities in order to make the culture known through the country. I, as the owner of the community, will try as much as I can to organize some meetups and activities in Montreal, and I encourage you to do the same in your region. Such activities as picnics, photoshoots, tea parties, sewing parties, and any other lolita, aristo and kodona related activities, can (and must ^_~) be announced here, in order to tell a maximum of interested people.
Various other informations concerning the community can be found after the rules; dont forget to read everything ^_~

Both English and French are fine. However, if you write in French, it would be nice if you could post a translation.

Translations shall be posted as a comment to the original post.

Introductions are, as of now, quite welcome, as long as they are pertinent. "Hello, my name is XXXXX, I like EGL, thanks, see you" will not be considered a pertinent introduction.
Please include the following in your introduction: ‡ Your name. ‡ Your age. ‡ Where you live. ‡ Your style. ‡ How it affects your lifestyle, or how you live it (give exemples).
You are free to add any other information you would like, as long as it respects the other rules. Please keep it relatively short, or put it under lj-cut if it is long.
You are welcome to put pictures of yourself in your introduction (please read the following part about pictures).
Pictures not larger than 300 x 300 are fine, but larger pictures shall be put under lj-cut to avoid stretching the page. Extremely long posts shall also be placed underlj-cut; either: a. the first few lines of the text and a "read more" cut b. a cut titled after a short summary of what your post is about
All auctions and sales shall be placed under lj-cut and/or linked to an off-livejournal site (such as ebay or your personal site). Announcing the auction or sale shall be done with a short sentence telling what is for sale; either a. the sentence as the link name to the auction page b. the sentence as the lj-cut name
‡ Questions and discussions about the lolita, aristo and kodona lifestyles and fashion styles. This includes etiquette, people's reaction when they see you, behviour, and so on. ‡ Shopping and sewing tips and ideas related to the lolita, aristo and kodona styles. ‡ Discussions about the clothing brands. ‡ Discussions about lolita, aristo and kodona homemade items and accessories. ‡ Discussion about cooking, food and tea parties. ‡ Discussions about lolita, aristo and kodona related home and interior design. ‡ Your personal lolita, aristo and kodona items auctions and sales (please read the previous part about auctions and sales). ‡ Information about upcoming lolita, aristo and kodona related events. ‡ A self-introduction when you join (please read the previous part about introductions).

Fruits style fashion will not be considered as directly related, but will be tolerated if asked before posting. Same goes for Anime Conventions without an EGL room or event. Anime conventions with an EGL event can be posted as a loli, aristo or kodona event without asking permission.
‡ Anything not related in any way to the styles. ‡ Disrespectuous, vulgar or insulting comments. ‡ "I am loli-er than thou" behaviour ‡ Spam. (spam being unrelated comments and publicity)
All faulty entries will be deleted. The first time you disobey a rule will get you a warning, both public (in this page) and private (unless no moderator is able to reach you). The second time will remove your permission to post for 2 weeks. The third time will remove your permission to post permanently.
If you post an entry requiering permission without asking first, you will get a minor warning. While minor warnings will not affect your "warning count", moderators will have the right to give you one full warning if you keep doing this, i.e. if you keep posting many other permission-needing entries without asking. These entries will not be deleted.
If you are not sure if your entry is ok to be posted, contact a moderator first to avoid surprises.
Warned members: None
