Threading the Needle

This would be the intro post to this blog, I guess.

Initially, this blog was supposed to be a private endeavor, since I decided against participating on other social media for fear my pictures would be fed into algorithms and data bases. In retrospect, this site will be no different, but at least to me the fact that its traffic isn't as substantial makes it that much safer. I know I'm most likely wrong in my assumptions, but here's to engage in a part of my life that makes me the happiest even when it's hard for me to feel anything at all.

Moving to a more positive point, I suppose it would be sensible for me to share my plans for this blog: I will be posting my ideas for dream Lolita projects, W.I.P.s of things I'm working on -be it Lolita-related or not-, listings of general advice, observations, thoughts and rants, and finally -if I'm feeling particularly brave- some actual photos of me modeling (this is definitely too kind of a term for whatever that I'll be doing if I do decide to take pictures of myself) the coords and pieces I make.

It'd be appropriate for me to disclose that, though I personally feel okay with the idea of sharing this part of my life with who might stumble upon this blog, it's by no means a priority for me to post constant or consistent updates of my progress, or even exhibiting my projects or workings at all with the prospect of entertaining other than myself. This blog will be first and foremost an outlet and a diary for me and my Lolita sewing journey, and I'd like that to be clear from the start.

I could babble on and on about disclaimers, intent and hopes for this blog, but I don't find it necessary for an presentation anyway. One normally needs some time to get acquainted with other people after introducing each other. In that very same vein, I guess we shall find out more about each other in time.

At any rate, shall we meet again, stranger. Should you be interested in unconventional approaches to home-made Lolita/E.L.G. fashion, do consider following this erratic collection of rambling.

Until next time,

A.
