Lolita (Book)

Lolita is a 1955 novel written by Russian American novelist Vladimir Nabokov. The novel is notable for its controversial subject: the protagonist and unreliable narrator, a middle-aged literature professor under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert is obsessed with a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, with whom he becomes sexually involved after he becomes her stepfather. "Lolita" is his private nickname for Dolores. The novel was originally written in English and first published in Paris in 1955 by Olympia Press. Later it was translated into Russian by Nabokov himself and published in New York City in 1967 by Phaedra Publishers.

lolita Fashion

Lolita is a Japanese fashion that revolves around a very feminine look that is often very cute and elegant. Lolita is easily recognized by it’s modest look which features a dress or skirt (usually around knee-length) that has a very distinctive bell-shaped (or sometimes A-line although it isn’t nearly as common) silhouette. Lolitas are often told that they look like dolls or Alice in Wonderland as the style draws much inspiration of aesthetic from historical childrens clothing.
Lolita is NOT a costume or cosplay and has very little to do with anime in general. It is actually very common for anime artists to get the wrong idea about Lolita because they do very little research on it and end up portraying it very poorly. Lolita also has nothing to do with the sexual connotation the word has gotten due to the novel written by Vladimir Nabokov and the fashion has nothing at all to do with the novel.
Lolita is not a costume, it is a fashion and for many Lolitas, a lifestyle. A costume is something a person wears to look like someone or something else, to no longer be themselves. Lolita is exactly the opposite of that. Lolita is a fashion, a form of self expression, and something that is worn for the purpose of being yourself.

Lolita BDSM

BDSM is a variety of often erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other related interpersonal dynamics.
From (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDSM)
Lolita BDSM to put simple is to force a submission (most likely to be male) to dress in a sexy female way. This is call "sissy pay" and does use all types of woman clothes from wedding dress's to baby dress's (size for adult) to the sexy school girl and anything else you can think of as lolita Fashion come out of Japanese. This group of people like the " very feminine" but not the "modesty" or "cost" so they made their interpretation. What they did was to shorten the dress so it ends at the waist so you can see the underwear and encourage cheap copy's.
