Our MAF Girl of the week for this week is all the way from Washington, USA. She is greatly inpsred by the Victorian period, fairy tales, dolls and princesses. And in the future shoe would like to be a lolita designer and a grand artist.
Let's all congratulate
Lumiina!
Tell us about yourself: Hello everyone! I've never been exactly picked for anything like this before and I am very
long winded. So please bare with me! (prepare yourself!) Before I start I want to note real fast that in the photo all my hair was straightened. It is actually naturally curly and normal is all over the place with it's waves and curls.
Why that is important.. I don't know, sorry.
Anyway, I am a (just turned) 17 year old girl living in Washington. I am only 5ft to 5'2" and weigh only 90lb. I wish to be 110 though, but can't seem to gain weight. With that said, I am very unhealthy and often depressed. Due to this I am very reserved, shy, quiet and seemingly tired. I actually avoid having friends at school because I feel it will get in my way of education, so all my friends are online and live far far away. I prefer this though. Only thing that does bother me is my relationship and lack of medical, these things are boring though so I'm moving on. I can draw and write and sew a bit. I wish to become a better artist, writer, seamtress and cook! I adore Lolita and BJD and hope to have both in my future filled with joy! my main dream is to become rich and have a huge mansion which I move all my friends to and we have everything we ever need. As well as be a living doll and never age or recieve ailment. Yes, I am very very strange. I also have split personality and spend most time within my own world within myself. I tend to hide away out of fear of being hurt but I feel as though It is okay to tell you all this, and I am very sorry if you think poorly of me now. My main side is Luna but I tend to let a side named Mai out to talk to people on forums, even more so this forum. Mai is much cuter and extremely sweet and bubbly, and I feel people would like her more then who I am truely. It isn't that I am lying about who I am, I am just showing another me. Just troubling things that happen to those with this kind of MPD.
Also If in the future I suddenly seem different in personality, you now know why!
Another thing about me that I neglected to mention is that I'd rather be a guy. A tall and handsome with dark hair, and dress as an Oujisama (male lolita) and be some beautiful and lucky lolita's Prince. Because I greatly dislike typical men and wish I could become an example of how a true prince is. Though, excuse that. I only have such sour opinions because of my experiences through out of my life...and dislike to todays society. Though despite wanting to be a guy, I am very femmine still! 
Though I do wish to one day dress up in Oujisama and bind my chest. See if I'd pass as a little prince or not. Dreams, Dreams, Dreams!
Name: Lumiina
Location: Spokane, Washington.
Fashion style: Classical Lolita
Fashion motto: Who you are on the inside should be shown through fashion on the outside.
Who's your inspiration?:
my inspiration... Well I would have to say Anime more then anything. I'm an anime artist myself and my love for anime had lead me to learn more about japan. Without that I would have never found out about Lolita. I was so happy to have found out that "wow, these dresses actually do exist, they are not just in art!" Oh this is off subject now. OK - My inspiration comes from Sayori and her wonderful art of her OCs in beautiful lolita outfits, as well as Macoto Takahashi and of course my own imagination.
Fashion tips: Well, first thing I would have to give tip on is do your research. I spent years learning about lolita and everything I could, and I feel you can't be truely anything without great understanding of it. So I don't suggest attempting a style of fashion without knowing all you can about it! Even more so when it comes to lolita. (generally ignorance about the lolita fashion leads to itas, and the disrepect of which leads people to call it cosplay.../vendetta)
Other then that, Know what you want and make sure it truely fits who you are. If you are a bubbly girly girl at heart I think you should dress that way on the outside, same with if you are a dark and solem lady. It will feel amazing to express yourself in such a way and the feeling of hiding away, wearing a Mask, will vanish. I say this out of personal experience as I only feel truly myself when I dress in Lolita. Other wise I feel as though... I am changing what I look like to suit modern society and hide the fact that I don't belong.
Message to MAF family:
I want to thank everyone who has ever spoken with me so kindly here. It is really a wonderful place and everything is just so sweet and delicate. Just the little bit I've been here I've learned more about fashions and discovered some things I love. Like Mori! Also this place has given me more courage to simply speak and work towards my lolita dreams, as well as not be so scared to sell things. (still am though.) This is a warm place in which I can feel more fit in and I can go to learn, experience, and meet new people and fashion.
Thank you everyone, and I hope to be able to continue enjoying my time here. I also want to say sorry for not being as good as a member as I feel I ought to be. (being active and such) and so I hope to be able to contribute to the MAF family in the near future.
