Ona Zbrowski

Part of the 6th generation of my legacy, Ona is the oldest child of Bronislaw and Sofija. Sofija died the day after Motiejus was born, which made the ties between the surviving family members even stronger. The guilt-ridden phone call from a parent saying it's been forever since they've seen you and can you please visit sometime? Ona never receives that. Even after marriage and moving from San Sequoia to Moonwood Mill, she still sees her dad and brother almost every day.

Any specific notes you’ve got on the thought process behind each student’s new uniform changes for the THH cast? And are you planning to do some for the SDR2 and V3 cast as well?

Note: Anon is referring to these designs!Hmm kinda! There are some choices I made more deliberately than others, although not many characters go as deep as the one note I had about Taka's design. But I'll happily go through the ones that I didn't!Mondo - I initially didn't have Mondo's blazer be embroidered, but considering it's such a stick-out feature of his canon design, it felt wrong not keeping it. Additionally, Mondo is a little bit scrawnier here, for lack of a better word, and that's deliberate! These are supposed to be the students at their first year of the academy, so I wanted to make Mondo seem a little younger!

Taka - I'm not gonna reiterate here so instead here's the post where I talk about him a lil. Lol.

Celeste - Girl is absolutely fighting for her LIFE with this uniform, and for what its worth she found a pretty good balance! The dress underneath is a JSK of her own design, and kinda meant to be reminiscent of earlier EGL styles. She is supposed to look a little bit "ITA", even. I also brought back the hair ribbons from her beta design, and the butterfly hairclip takes from the pattern on her tie in canon!

Chihiro - I have a couple notes on Chihiro! For starters I honestly wanted to make her look a little bit dorkier lol. I gave her the little headband and the glasses for that reason, but the glasses were also to make her match her Dad even more! I wanted to give her a massive backpack too so she always has a spot to keep her laptop and other equipment (yes she has it on her at all times). And finally I gave her a little sweater vest with a dandelion on it, since one of her favorite gifts is the everlasting dandelion! It's supposed to be embroidered on, heehee.

Sayaka - As much as I love her, Sayaka's design isn't actually all that deep? lol. I've always had an affinity for drawing Sayaka with cute little designer hats. i honestly think she has a few of them that she can whip out to give any look a little extra panache. Not to mention the constant inclusion of TONS of pink. I also gave her the flower hairclip from one of her beta designs!

Aoi - Hina is honestly one of my favorite designs in the roster! I just really like her silhouette, idk. I always knew she had to keep the shorts, so she gets the shorts!! Her typical tracksuit is around her waist instead, her eyes are a darker blue for the sake of my sanity, and her ponytail has a kinkier shape! My favorite little detail that I'm sure nobody noticed is that the thing tying her hair together is a coil scrunchie, since they're super good for wet hair in particular! I used to use them a lot back when I used to swim!

Sakura - Honestly, I just wanted Sakura to look at ordinary as humanly possible. She gets a really normal looking uniform- little to no modifications made aside from wearing her usual shoes, the armbands, the bandages, and the striped socks that I took from one of her beta designs!

Hifumi - Hifumi didn't really change all that much either, aside from getting the orange pants to match his orange tie! I do think he painted the arrow on himself, and it looks INCREDIBLY scuffed, lol. Honestly, my main priority with hifumi was to do him some actual justice on the anatomy side, lol. I hope I did an alright job!

Makoto - Makoto also doesn't really change all that much... Really, all that got altered was the blazer and the pants, although I will note that the pants are rolled up because he ABSOLUTELY ordered the wrong size by accident.

Kyoko - Going into this, LONG before I started drawing her I knew that Kyoko needed to have pants, even if it killed me. I just always thought that it'd better suit her usual design to have pants, or at LEAST a longer skirt. It always just looked kinda off to me that she had this big long sleeved blazer and then a short pleated skirt?? Like at least allow her the luxury of like. A pencil skirt. Lol.

Byakuya - Byakuya also doesn't really undergo much change. Really, all i have to say regarding him is that hes got a tall collared button-up and that he kept his usual necktie...

And that's everyone until I sit my ass down and draw the rest! I'm sure I'll eventually get to it... Possibly.

As for the other games, currently I have no plans to do anybody beyond the thh cast. I MIGHT do sdr2 at a far, FAR later date, but I don't think V3 will ever be on the table since quite frankly, I couldn't be assed. Sorry if you were hoping for them!

[puddicure]

the previous post just turned into me gushing about scifi fashion design choices but really I just wanted to talk about some bold new aesthetics I came up with that I think we should try to explore:

- Meiji Cowboy: a new take on Meiji era fashion that blended “western” style clothing with Japanese clothing construction, but with more denim and fringe

- Choirpunk: it’s the dystopian future and now you have to DIY your punk clothes out of old clergy vestments. DIY “stained glass” style jewelry made from broken bottles and shit. Idfk. (I guess this one basically already exists via fetishwear, but I think there’s potential with the Flying Nun style habits. mostly I’m just looking for a reason to use church brocades lmfao)

- EGOL (‘elegant gothic office lady,’ a play on EGL (Elegant gothic Lolita); this one is sort of like corporate goth in spirit, but I want blazers with epaulettes, modern/futuristic fabrics with Victorian-style cuts and tailoring.)

- Gilliesuit Chic: I’m picturing like, jackets with arms from Gillie suits. Bell bottoms with the bell of the pant made of this disgusting fabric. Maybe just like as a shoulder accent. Like a capelet.

- Karneval Casual: more than anything, I’m thinking about those neon feathers and the fringe you see from Rio. Incorporate those shapes and textures into some dailywear. I feel like I don’t need to explain this one.

- Castaway Chic: a gown made out of an old parachute. Wearing one of those airplane floatation vests as fashion. Literal fish net top, maybe even wearing one as a fun little skirt. Those mesh water shoes, but extended into knee high boots. Divesuit under a crop top and cargo shorts. Fish lure jewelry. You could also call this “Waterworld chic.”

- Boilersuit Lolita: workman style coveralls made from Lolita designer print fabric, trimmed with bows and frills and lace. Heart belt buckle. Name tag patch with the brand name embroidered on it. Little white gloves with bows on them and a scalloped lace wrist. Sort of a metacommentary on the commodification of working-class aesthetics while also a jab at the fact Lolita is so incredibly impractical as a lifestyle fashion. IDK. is this anything.

- Powersuit Cyborg: a reboot of the classics. Bring back the big shoulder pad blazers, add circuit board prints to the linings. Maybe that puffer coat style ribbing as an accent. Microchip cuff links. Earrings made from old connector wires. Those big visor style sunglasses. Leather half gloves. Tuxedo stripe pants where the stripes look like rainbow ribbon cables. High heel loafers with a stacked CYM block heel. Bold lipstick. Teased hair.

[trash-and-trash-accessories]

Yes. That's what we're discussing here.

The tightrope black women are expected to walk is much thinner and higher than their white counterparts. They are expected to maintain a very specific aesthetic. While white women can explore different levels of femininity, black women aren't allowed to explore femininity in the same way. They have to maintain a specific standard and not stray too far in either direction. Especially women of color exploring traditional feminine dress from their own cultural backgrounds like ornate hair wraps, protective braided styles, and other forms of natural hair styles which are considered "unprofessional." Femininity is strictly controlled in black women, there were many laws surrounding black women in the US South regarding what hair styles and clothes they could wear for like a long time, way longer than you would think. Their bodies in feminine styles are hyper-sexualized and commodified more than their white counterparts. An outfit considered appropriate on a white girl would be considered problematic, explicit, unprofessional on a black girl. There's a huge disparity in dress code violations among black girls in schools. Black girls are disproportionately punished for all forms of offenses but especially dress code violations in schools. Starting extremely young.

Their bodies are up for public comment and debate. This happens to women of color, disabled women, and any other bodies considered "outside the norm." As a little person it is constantly happening to me, though to a lesser and different extent than women of color experience.

A black woman doing a hyperfemme style like EGL, Barbiecore, etc will be hypersexualized more than her white peers just by virtue of her blackness. It's part of what's called misogynoir. And failure to maintain a highly specific level of femininity will be punished either through this hypersexualization or through masculinization and transphobia (accusing black women of being men or "practically men" is a form of transphobia that affects a lot of cis women).

This affects all women to a degree but the intersection of blackness really ramps that up.

This same exact mechanism also occurs with indigenous women and causes extreme violence and danger for Native American women specifically in their communities which are often near what are called "Man Camps" which are temporary labor camps of often white laborers building pipelines and mines. And near military bases. These soldiers and laborers only stay in that location for a short while and aren't subject to local or tribal law enforcement so it's very easy for them to get away with the rape and murder of these women who are hypersexualized and offered less protection from society, are seen as less innocent and less needing of protection due to their masculinization.

I recommend White Tears/Brown Scars by Ruby Hamad, which is a very good book on misogynoir that is very readable despite the painful subject matter.

And also Feminism Is For Everybody by bell hooks which a very good piece of intersectional feminist literature.

Someone recommended a book called Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall but I haven't read it yet.

“reclaiming femininity” SHUT UP SHUT UP you can’t reclaim something that is expected of you and that you are actively punished for not engaging in shut up shut up shut up pink capitalism has won im going to chew glass a

♡ My 2023 retrospective: egl version ♡ PART 5/9

September

The first lolita-related thing that happened was that I received by Taobao order!

I was really happy with the lavender and white wristcuffs, ring and candy hair accessories: they look good together, are well or decently made, and they match my AP jsk perfectly. You'll see it very soon. I was disappointed in the bloomers, which are of a really thin material, not stretchy, and very small. I can wear them but they're uncomfortable. I will probably give them to someone else and buy a new pair. The socks, necklace and eyelashes were okay. You probably already know them. The white bows were a gift from a seller. Oh, and you can barely see it but I also got a ice cream ring that I plan to use with my Milky Planet skirt or some other sweet coord.

Talking about Milky Planet, I also received the Milky Planet headbow and I regretted choosing to buy it in sax (I wanted to use it with my Sugary Carnival OP that you can see in the picture, which is, in fact, sax, but a lot lighter and less saturated). I should have got the yellow one like a normal personal (my skirt is yellow).

It was still incredibly hot in September, though, so I definitely couldn't wear a blouse. I did end up wearing lolita anyway, because it was time to attend the local con, as I wanted to meet my friends and the guest of honor Igarashi Yumiko (she made Candy Candy, Anne of Green Gables, and other extremely important shoujo manga that influenced lolita fashion too).

This is the coord that I wore. It was inspired by her work. The JSK I'm wearing is Sweet Ribbon Strawberry Switching JSK by Angelic Pretty.

And she said I was cute and wanted to take a photo with me!!!

These are the things that I got:

I missed the second day of the con because I went to a job interview which was, funnily enough, held at the same space where the con was happening (I didn't get the job though).

On the third day I wore this super cute coord (with the accessories I bought from taobao) and went back again! The JSK is Angelic Pretty's Dream Drop JSK.

It ended up being one of my favorite coords of the year, even though it's nothing special. But I felt good and even pretty in it and it's now eternally tied to this pleasant feeling. I think that us lolitas tend to forget that clothes are supposed to not only look good, or to help us forget about how ugly our life can be, but we're also supposed to actually wear them and feel good while wearing them. If we always wear clothes that are too tight and uncomfortable we will connect those things to lolita and in the end that's what lolita will mean for us. I want to remember the joy and the physical sensation of wearing cute clothes and walking around in them having fun and being myself, and cherish them forever. Also I like how I edited this pics (but they're not heavily edited, so that's another plus for me).

Look at her, she's definitely one of us.

Also during this month I celebrated Talk Like a Pirate Day by wearing a pirate-inspired outfit. Though it wasn't a lolita one, I was wearing some lolita accessories and I liked how he looked with my bow.

October

In October I received my first ever order from Akatako, and one of the things I got is this Tama key holder (on the right). Even though the girl in this artwork is not wearing lolita, Tama is one of the most well-known artists that consistently draws lolitas. Sorry about the postcard on the left, I don't have a photo of just the key holder. It's still cute and consistent with what I post on my blog though.

It was the warmest October of my life and we even risked wearing short sleeves for Halloween.

I went to one of our local meets at the beginning of the month. @puredeathwish was there too! The theme was Sanrio characters and I obviously picked Cinnamoroll. As you can see, I was wearing Sugary Carnival. I have a love/hate relationship to this dress, as I bought it on preorder when it first released back in the day (I was like 15 then and I'm 31 now) and it was my favorite lolita piece ever for many years. Eventually I wore it too much and I started hating it. I think it faded over time and I don't know if I still like it or not, but it has too much sentimental value to let it go.

I'm a little bit of a Cinnamoroll fangirl, sorry.

Some other photos from said meet:

The woman in the background on the right in the first picture was too intent in staring at us and tripped and fell to the ground.

Dinosaur!

Oops, I reached the image limit for this post. You'll see more of that day and year in part 6!

Tagged by @thepainofdreams  <3 

1. Name 4 fictional characters who showcase your personality the best, with explanations if you want.

Anne of Green Gables - in the first book only. Over dramatic, over reacts, over active imagination, rejection complex, red hair.

Merida from Brave - strong willed, love & want to protect my mom despite misunderstandings.  I’ll be shooting for my own hand!, red hair. 

Piglet from Winnie The Pooh - I’m always a nervous wreck

Eeyore from Winnie The Pooh - I’m also always moody and wonder what’s the point. bonus character 

Winnie The Pooh, because deep down I’m simple minded, love & care for all my friends, and  just want to eat sweets and be happy. 

2. Aesthetic

A mixture of each at any given moment - tea Parties in Victorian mansions, a flower fairy in an overgrown flower garden outside a quaint cottage, sad Gothic doll, ghostly apparition, messy cat lady.

3. Favorite musical/play? (If you’ve never seen a musical or play, one you’d be interested in seeing?)

I haven’t seen any in person but my favorite musical movies are Annie & The Sound of Music and I wouldn’t say no to seeing those on stage. 

4. What is the best compliment you’ve ever received?

Honestly any compliment ever is so rare and therefor the best. But one thing that stands out is how everyone at my cat’s vet office would rave about how great a cat she was and nothing felt better than that. I miss that cat more than anything. 

5. How many times have you been in love?

Never have been. Never want to be. Sounds painful & gross. 

6. Embarrassing story or fact about yourself that makes you laugh now?

I applied for these online rating communities on livejournal back in the early/mid 2000s and if you got rated high enough you would get accepted. I always got rejected for being too weird. which is so amusing to me now because what they thought was too weird was me wanting to wear “egl”, live in a victorian mansion with a carousal in the garden and live violin music, etc. Still want those things too, rejection hurt but couldn’t change who I am!  

7. Favorite Disney/Pixar movie? 

Brave

8. Favorite flower or plant?

I love all flowers and plants. 

9. What’s your favorite holiday?

I’m not a huge holiday person, I love other peoples birthdays though because I love giving gifts and making special meals/cakes for them.

10. Name three things that made you laugh or smile this past week.

A chipmunk I saw outside my house. 

A squirrel I saw outside my house.

Another squirrel I saw

11. What song would you play to introduce yourself to someone?

lyrics wise Paramore’s Caught in the Middle pretty much sums me up.

12. Name something that truly makes you feel peaceful even at your most stressed moments.

If I’m not in too severe pain, going for a long drive on random empty country roads with all my comforting music playing.

13. What do you, did you, or would you study at college?

I don’t think I’m suited for studying.  I want to learn how to weave though, so maybe textiles. Or photography, I’d like to learn how to use camera functions better. 

14. This is kind of a weird one, but which outfit of yours makes you feel most like yourself?

I don’t have any sense of self really but lets say loose worn in pajamas because no matter how much I love fancy clothes at my core I crave comfort. 

15. What is a quote you live by?

“Life  is not a meaning, but an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to put together a series of meaningful experiences, each of which lasts a short time.”

16. Name the funniest playlist name you have.

I’m not into playlists. I like to just turn on all my music on shuffle. The only playlist I sort of have is a cd I burned for music to sleep to. 

17. Make a reference to an inside joke you have with someone you love with zero context.

FALCON MAN

18. What is a message you would give your younger self if given the chance?

I can think of so very many things I wish I could have known in advance but if I went back and told my younger self, I wouldn’t have believed it for second, so it wouldn’t make any difference. 

19. Who is your favorite family member? (If you have no good blood family members, feel free to mention someone in your found family)

I can’t choose favorites, I love my family intensely, specifically my 4 immediate siblings, parents & my brother’s daughter.

20. What’s a secret dream of yours?

To be able to eat all the food and not get sick and in pain, and just eat and eat and eat forever and ever.  I’m not really close with many people on tumblr so I feel weird tagging people, but I have to play by the rules so I’ll make some tags but no pressure to do this or read what I wrote! tagging - @konomin @jupitercoast @theroguequeenaniki @rosesforscully

10 questions

Tagged by @mocha-writes

What’s your favorite time of day? In terms of the aesthetic, dawn and dusk - the twilight realms. Otherwise, it is any part of the day when I’m free to do my own stuff.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and what would you do there? Somewhere with lots of snow. To build snowmen and make snow angels. Or one of those places you sometimes see on those ‘10 coolest abandoned places on Earth’ lists. And just enjoy the scenery.

Favorite D&D (or, if you don’t play it, Dragon Age) class? Probably some mage/rogue mix. (In DA  it’s DW Tempest. The most fun I’ve had in DA, combat-wise.)

Do you have a favorite dessert or snack? Several. Poppy-seed koláče, brownies, baklava, Yunnanese flower cakes...

Is there a favorite thing you like to wear, like a pair of lucky socks or a necklace? I have a bunch of jewellery that’s very much an assortment of lucky charms to me, rather than simple accessories. And unless I’m going for a more specific, more polished look (which I rarely am), I wear all those things. (Several necklaces and pendants, four bracelets, four rings.)

Do you prefer rain or snow? Love both, but love snow more.

Do you dream a lot? If so, what do you usually dream about? I used to. But these days I don’t remember my dreams a lot. When I do, it’s usually weird-ass, morbid stuff.

Do you have a pet? If so, what kind? I cannot help but think of the family’s dog, cat, and bird as my pets as well. I don’t live with my parents but I still sort of did when those darlings joined us. Strictly speaking though, they are my parents’ pets. 

If given the chance, would you prefer to explore outer space or the deep ocean? Both are fascinating - but if I were to choose one, it would be the deep ocean.

If you could have dinner with any character from any work of fiction, who would you invite and why? What you would you eat together? I’d invite myself over to Bag End for a big, hearty dinner. Hope both Frodo and Bilbo would be there. I’m an elf wannabe, but a hobbit at heart, so I guess we’d all click together nicely. :-] And I’d probably eat lots of bread, butter and cheese. (And I’d bring koláče, I think. Been told my koláče are real good. :-)

Also tagged by @my-da-phase​ 

What’s your favorite real animal? Too many. Ravens, rooks, sparrows (well, all songbirds, really),  wolves, mountain dogs, bats, hyenas, meerkats... Can’t pick just one. :-)

What’s your favorite fictional animal? Right now it’s probably druffalos.

What do you look for in a song? That depends on my mood. And more often than not, a new fave song finds me, rather than vice versa. But I’ve realized I’m kind of a sucker for interesting harmonies and layering of soundscapes.

Do you play video games? If yes, what’s your favorite genre? Yes. RPGs are my favourite, of course. Though I do enjoy old-school point’n’click adventures and some strategies as well.

Have you ever made self-insert characters? I did that when I was about seven and the story was a series of summer holiday adventures - starring a prettier version of myself, with longer hair. :-) My characters these days do share significant traits, themes and often beliefs and convictions with me, yes. Especially the main guys are, to some extent, self-inserts. But since I was a kid, I haven’t really based an entire character on myself. I give them bits and pieces, sure, but they’re their own people. 

Do you have a “type“ when it comes to favorite characters? Possibly, but I’m not sure what it is? My fave characters are a diverse bunch - and I don’t really see a type or a theme or a pattern there... (If you do, let me know...:-))

What’s your favorite story? Could be an actual short story, a history fact, a piece of mythology etc. Just one? C’mon, how do you pick ONE?! I’ll just randomly pick five, OK? :-) Egle, the Queen of Serpents (loved that one since I was like...five or so?) The story surrounding the death of Qin Shihuang and the fall of the Qin Dynasty (who needs GoT when you have Sima Qian’s Shiji?) Chickamauga. (TW for gore, war, some vintage ableism and one heck of a trauma.) Crier of Es-Annon - one of the many brilliant side quests in Planescape: Torment. (Planescape: Torment is so, so, SO good. Damn.) A Dream of a Thousand Cats.

If you were a character in a fighting game, what would be your signature move/s? Running and screaming.

Which song is stuck in your head right now? Evolution Revolution Love

Do you have a favorite piece of fanfiction/fanart? Yours or otherwise. Too many to list, srsly. :-) I follow too many brilliant people on here.

...and by @apostatetabris​

if you’re shipwrecked on an island what’s the one item you would want (fantasy or real)? Teleportation ring.

What have you created that you are most proud of? A few things... But currently, it’s kind of a tie between Das and Lennan, I think.

if your life were a broadway musical what would your theme song be I’m so not into Broadway musicals I really have no idea. :-) Can’t it be baroque opera instead? :-) (Anyway, I’d like something a tad gloomy and a tad whimsical.)

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? I’d want fast regeneration/healing.

When was the last time you laughed so hard you were crying? When I heard this.

What’s your dream pokemon team? Pikachu, bulbasaur and bellsprout because those are the only ones I actually know.

What would be the hat to end all hats? What could you wear on your head that would make people stop what they are doing and stare in awe and amazement? I’m gonna be boring and go with a pretty regular steampunk top hat. Or a black tricorn. Or maybe not... Give me nice early imperial style Hanfu and a mian guan.

How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant? I’m pretty sure a good assassin would be able to manage with one.

During the apocalypse, what supplies are the most important (besides weapons and food)? / If you manage to survive the apocalypse, what will your new job title be? Gonna go with tools. Materials can be found, but they’d probably be useless if you don’t have any tools to process them with. And I’d be a hermit.

What mythical creature would improve the world if it existed Having a Leshy in every wood and forest would be pretty neat.

The Ultimate Guide to Dating Beautiful Single Lithuanian Women

Lithuania is the southernmost country of the Baltic states in northeast Europe. If you are considering going there, either as a permanent relocation or just for a vacation, you obviously want to know about their women. You might be considering dating one and getting into a serious relationship, or you are just looking for a short fling.

Either way, this article will help you by telling you what the average – though they are far from that – Lithuanian ladies looks like, what they want from a man, how to date them successfully, plus where you can meet them.

Consider this a dating guide, but exclusively for beautiful Lithuanian women.

What do Lithuanian women look like?

Well, they are super gorgeous, that’s for sure!

They have very striking features, and one that completely stands out is their blonde, healthy hair. No, seriously, walking through the streets of their many cities will have you feeling like you are in a shampoo commercial.

Though not all Lithuanian girls are blondes, the majority of them are, with the rest being brunettes, and only about one percent of the population being red-headed.

Lithuanian ladies’ facial features are just as striking too:

With their large ocean blue eyes and well-carved yet delicate face and cheek structure, they look like models, and their body shape just adds to that portfolio.

They are slim, with just the slightest curves, and tall, most of them above 5”8. Yep, that tall. And even the shorter girls have long legs, which is a plus really because they are just so good to look at.

Why are Lithuanian brides so hot?

Their model-like features, healthy, and very long hair make them very special. You will literally feel like you are watching a never-ending runway everywhere you go. Plus, they are very elegant in their dressing, and you will more often than not see them in the cutest dresses and heels.

What are they like?

Apart from their physical attributes, which are clearly enough to have you swooning, you may also want to know a bit about their character.

They are extremely intelligent and up to date with the world.

Do not be fooled by the fact that they are in a small country. They are very smart, they read a lot, are well educated, and keep up to date with a lot of happenings in the world.

What does this tell you?

That cheesy and common pick-up lines might not be your most preferred go-to here. They can also read your intentions from miles away.

They can be very modest.

From their dressing to their way of life, these beautiful single Lithuanian brides have such a modest and subtle approach to life, as compared to their fellow European counterparts. Unlike, for example, the Russians whose dressing is very loud and extravagant, a Lithuanian woman keep a lower profile.

They are not very good at other languages.

Now, if you are planning on full-time relocation and serious commitment, you should consider learning their language too. This is not to say that there are no English-speaking Lithuania women, but it will serve you better to learn to speak a little bit of Lithuanian or Russian. Even if you are there for a short stay, picking up some of the basics won’t hurt.

They’re very straightforward.

Lithuanian women can be very straightforward. If they like or dislike something, they will be upfront about it. If they are not really feeling your vibe, they will tell you in advance – so no worries about being led on.

They are outgoing.

You will rarely catch a Lithuanian woman idling. If they are not working, they are exploring areas around them since their social scene is very much alive. They will either be visiting art galleries, be out on trips with friends or clubbing, whether at an establishment or at a house party.

They are very patriotic.

Since their separation from the Soviet Union, Lithuanian women, and just Lithuanians, in general, are very proud of their country. That is one key thing to note about them. The same goes for the Estonian and Latvian women.

Lithuanian women are family oriented.

The ladies are very close to their babushkas; these are their mothers, grandmothers, and aunts. So you should know that the opinion of the women in their lives will really matter.

Stereotypes of Single Lithuanian Girls

There are a few things you may have heard or read about the ladies from Lithuania. We’ll tell you just how true they are, so you know what to expect when you go there.

Single Lithuanian ladies are desperate for love and attention from men.

This is usually peddled around because the number of Lithuanian women is much higher than their men. However, this is not true at all. Even though getting a man may be a bit harder due to their ratio, they do not come off as desperate or anything of that sort. They carry themselves with as much class as possible.

They are very available sexually

This may, or may not, be true, and it all depends on you. These sexy Lithuanian women are very particular with their men, so how you present yourself is what will determine how the night will go.

They like foreign men.

You may have been led to believe that Lithuanian women are crazy about foreigners. Well, they are not that crazed by the idea as most Lithuanian women are in relationships with fellow Lithuanian men. Their men are, after all, very well-mannered and groomed, which is actually a bit of a competition for you.

How to Date a Lithuanian Bride

Now, Lithuanian women, as earlier mentioned, are very particular about the men they are with, and will not just settle for anyone.

Their preference goes above your physical appearance (although that does not mean you should ignore how you look). Here are a few tips for you before you date a Lithuanian:

Be a gentleman; chivalry will take you a long way

Be the perfect gentleman – this should go unsaid. Hold doors open for them, open the car door for her, pull up her chair, and if she is carrying something heavy, help her with it. She will notice all the little things!

Be respectful

Respect is paramount, even if you are just looking for a one-night stand. Do not come on to her too strong, respect her boundaries, and only do things after she gives you consent. You don’t want to be that guy.

Good grooming is a must

The ladies are elegant dressers, as earlier mentioned. You should be too. Be clean, and dress in smart, casual outfits. Image is everything. With the Lithuanian women beautifully adorning themselves, you should also make a visible effort.

Be on time!

Never keep a lady waiting! To stay ahead of your game, you could get there about ten minutes earlier. Women are such good timekeepers and having her wait for you will just be one big turn off.

Financial stability is a plus

They like a man who can pick up the tab. Once in a while, surprise her with a gift. They want a man who has his finances in check. You do not have to be a billionaire or anything like that, but at least show her that you can provide.

Hold smart and meaningful conversations

They are intelligent and need someone to match that up. Do not be afraid of jogging your mind muscles a bit; it will work in your favor in the end.

Where Can You Meet a Single Lithuanian Woman?

If you are a foreigner, how to meet Lithuanian women might seem like a challenge, but do not worry, it really is not as hard as you think.

You can meet Lithuanian women in social settings where one can relax and unwind. They frequent coffee stores, where you can find them reading a book, or in bistros. Another common meeting place is on shopping streets and in malls too.

Clubs and house parties are also pretty common places to link up with a beautiful single Lithuanian. Art galleries and tour experiences could work as well.

Asides from physically bumping into one, you might want to consider online dating sites, with apps like Tinder having a high success rate for hookups. Here, ensure that you take the necessary precautions when arranging for a physical meet-up with an individual you’ve met online.

Comfy coord today with my Moi-même-Moitié Cross & Roses Sundress.  Short hair can work with EGL, right?  I think it’s alright with bangs + enough volume and a little curl to it.
