I just unpacked my GLB the other day. The content in them are so different than I remember. Fun fact: the cover for volume 2 of the english GLB is art made Claire Belton, the creator of Pusheen.
SO MANY of what I consider to be the best dresses came out in 2004-2006! I think it’s funny that you’re not a fan of the flatlay brand release collections when those were some of my fav from back then. I felt like you could quickly get the feel for a brand’s aesthetic by seeing their pieces spread out like that. I also find you can see design details of individual dresses better, which was super helpful for inspiration when I was just starting out as a teen and making my own dresses.
Maxicimam was one of the first brands I was interested in because it has a "lovely size" category, which is their plus size section. I don't know if it would actually fit someone of my size, but it's still cool that they have it.
I recently bought a blouse on Closet Child from Chocochip cookie and it’s one of my favorites! The quality is top tier, I was super surprised since no one ever mentions them!
I think the western side of lolita never really got into Chocochip cookie! I've only really seen the brand on Mercari and such, I wish people would show them more love tho! I have their black x white tiered op and it's such lovely quality and it's so comfy!
I remember seeing these at the local Japanese bookstore when I was going to college back in 2003-2005, and I'd always wanted to buy them but I never had the money for them. Funny how I've been wistfully sighing over the fashion this whole time but only just got into it in the last year.
9:48 that's so funny, i love the larger simpler prints & the leather character bags! I know it's dated, but i just love the style that was prevalent at the very start of the sweet lolita golden age
I would love to watch streams looking through GLBs! So much of my nostalgia around the GLBs comes from chatting with my friends about each page together.
Aaaa I definitely gotta check these out sometime! I feel like so many of these scans circulated through early internet circles I was in but I never knew that they were lolita until a few years ago. Time for a deep dive jhasjkdfdfhf
I get most of my inspiration from TH-cam and Instagram. A lot of the styles I like do not fit me or are not currently available anywhere, so I've started making my own dresses instead. I really wish that one of the ones I found pictures of earlier this year would turn up or get re-released though. It's a gorgeous navy print and the largest size listed would fit me, but it was made in 2017.
I actually got my first GLB not too long ago since the nearest Kinokuniya still sells them! (and totally didn't impulse buy it bc the store was closing for the day oop) I got the Autumn 2015 one and then my mom was like "why did you get that if you can't read it?!?!" but I blame the kittied cats all over it lmao
Thank you Lovely Lor for mentioning bittersweet lotlita because you've helped me find a name for my Lolita stule. I've oy recently got into Lolita and your videos have been super helpful ❤️
I used to dislike "Meta stripper heels" when they first became popular, and I was so fond of tea party shoes when they first appeared. Now tea parties are uninteresting to me and I own quite a few high heel platform shoes now.
I absolutely love Maxicimam! I've started buying more of their pieces lately and they're so cute. Also apparently it's pronounced like "Maximum," who knows why they spelled it like that tho
I've got volume 48 too and that Chocochip carousel dress has been a favourite of mine for ages! Such a shame you don't see that brand much internationally :(
I definitely remember being a wee lass and looking at the GLBs. My BF at the time was half Japanese and we would go to Japanese shops. I remember fondly wanting to do punk and guro lolita, but loving OTT sweet as well. My EX did not like any of it. I remember being really discouraged by that. To bad for him that 15 years later I'm the gothic lolita mess that I am, aro/ace AF and living my best life.
Picture it....Tokyo 2002. I'm 17 into punk and goth fashun. I saw a GLB in I believe a kiosk I Tokyo station. It blew my mind!! A magazine devoted ENTIRELY to alternative fashion WITH sewing patterns !??? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I bought it and a few months later I'm back home but I took a day trip to Vancouver (from Victoria ) and managed to buy another with a focus on London. That was my 1st introduction to Lolita fashion. Xoxox I wish I could get more 🤧
It's pronounced max-e-c-mam and honestly it very popular with the plus size lolita community, and I want to own some of there blouse bc I heard there supper comfortable, also a great place for basics... you do need to use a shopping service to order from them though
as soon as u said GLB streams with boba tea, I immediately had to go and subscribe to ur Twitch, bc it sounds amazing! hoping the streams would be at a time when I can also tune in as a European ;_;
The lolita history website was mentioned but does not have all of the issues scanned iirc. Your other options are looking for groups that share scans (iirc most of those are on livejournal, even now) and blogs that share them. Google search scans of a particular volume you want to see.
Could u do a video where you recreate/ create in the same style as your favorite AP or sweet Lolita ads from the magazine with you and holly as the models
Hey Lor! Loved the video. I was wondering if you could share the names of the pieces of your coords in the description of your videos! I’m fairly new to Sweet Lolita and the dresses you wear are super cute and would also like to wear but sometimes I can’t identify the prints/accessories. Anyways, keep shining 🌸❤️
I own 2 physical copies, 45 and 48, so was fun to flip through 48 with you. I wish I had more of them, but was a fight to snag the magazines here when the comic book store took them in, so Im glad for the two I have. QwQ 🧡 Hope to flip through more, so much fond memories in the old stuff! ^_^
I one book that had the story of the girls husband was turning into flowers. If I was home right now I would tell you what issue it was. (If it's a issue you need for your collection I'll let you have mine) (our ps vita collection taking over )
LOVELY LOR, my account just got suspended for having many playlists of k-pop, j-pop, and l***lita fashion videos. TH-cam, Pinterest, etc is ending alternative fashion, anything that is different and not hurting anyone gets suspended. This account will probably be suspended for even typing up this comment.

I actually own a copy of the volume with her interview in it and I didn't realise it was her until I looked her up and got blasted with Pusheen. Wild!
Ah! I also have that volume of it too!
SO MANY of what I consider to be the best dresses came out in 2004-2006!

This coord is so cute!! The wig really suits you omg
I agree, it's really cute.
agreed!
I would love to see you talk about the gothic side of GLB! I'd also definitely watch you livestream just flipping through every GLB you have.
Maxicimam was one of the first brands I was interested in because it has a "lovely size" category, which is their plus size section. I don't know if it would actually fit someone of my size, but it's still cool that they have it.
omg thats such a cute name
I recommend browsing their product pages. They have measurements listed. IIRC some dresses and blouses go over 130cm bust.
@@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 thanks for the info ☺️
Metamorphose also has plus sizes. They have plus and plus plus
Even at 130cm bust i fit maxicimam lovely size. Same for their socks! Stretchiest socks in lolita, I swear.

Remember when you made the super fun video making crowns? Maybe you could make one doing a scpter! Maybe even a matching furby scepter...
Haha I made a Furby scepter last year! It is one of my favorite things.
I think it’d be really cool to do a video trying to style coords based on art like they did in GLB, or even coords inspired by the styling in GLB.
Hey y'all hope you're having a good day! Keep being swag, love y'all ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
You too!!!🥺😁💕💕💕💕💕💕
I remember seeing these at the local Japanese bookstore when I was going to college back in 2003-2005, and I'd always wanted to buy them but I never had the money for them. Funny how I've been wistfully sighing over the fashion this whole time but only just got into it in the last year.
I always loved the diy stuff they did. I was reading it in the early to mid 00's and there would be cake recipes and sewing tutorials.
Honestly those looks recreated from the art pieces were so cute! Thatd be such a cute video idea too!
Oh my goodness! I would love to see a live stream about the GLB!
Plsssss
9:48 that's so funny, i love the larger simpler prints & the leather character bags! I know it's dated, but i just love the style that was prevalent at the very start of the sweet lolita golden age
Gosh! memory lane with these. A friend gave me Spring and Winter 2009 and I still look over them now and again today.
wow, i remember seeing the 2005 GLB on the shelves of my local borders...nostalgia 💖💖
Double nostalgia from the Border’s rip
I remember the very short run of English GLBs. Going into a Books a Million and getting a GLB was such a thrill!!!
I would love to watch streams looking through GLBs! So much of my nostalgia around the GLBs comes from chatting with my friends about each page together.
The pie dress + bag is something to die for! 😍 Thank you so much for sharing this content with us 💖
I have the pie socks in cream/ beige & didn't even know there was a JSK with the print, I'm on the lookout now ^^
Aww, I never got to experience these in "realtime" thank you for sharing them with us! I can't wait to see more videos like this one.
Aaaa I definitely gotta check these out sometime! I feel like so many of these scans circulated through early internet circles I was in but I never knew that they were lolita until a few years ago. Time for a deep dive jhasjkdfdfhf
It's so nice watching Lor's reaction as she goes down memory lane.
Heck yeah, s/o Clover!!! She deserves the love!!! Thank you, Lor, this was so much fun!!!! ^^
This wig is so cute! Have you ever done a lolita wigs video showing off your favs?
I love all the the coords you put together.
The realistic pie one is HISTERICAL and I NEED it
Its so cool to see the coords based off of the art! I would love to see you try that sometime. You could maybe even make it into a whole video lol.
I get most of my inspiration from TH-cam and Instagram. A lot of the styles I like do not fit me or are not currently available anywhere, so I've started making my own dresses instead.

PLEASE have a GLB stream on Twitch! I love the idea and believe it would be a great introduction for people who aren't familiar with the fashion.

I would definitely tune in to a Twitch stream of GLB!!! What a great idea!
I absolutely love Maxicimam! I've started buying more of their pieces lately and they're so cute. Also apparently it's pronounced like "Maximum," who knows why they spelled it like that tho
I've got volume 48 too and that Chocochip carousel dress has been a favourite of mine for ages! Such a shame you don't see that brand much internationally :(
The wig looks amazing on you!!!!
I think maxicimam is more well known to plus sized lolitas in the western lolita communities due to their “lovely size” range.
i have a chocochip cut sew! It's the cutest and most comfortable thing ever!

I actually have a dress from chocochip cookie ! It’s super cute and comfortable.
I have the original run of Gosu Rori the sewing magazine. So many cool dress patterns!

Ah, my friend and I are in that GLB from 2013 😂 Time flies way too fast...
It's pronounced max-e-c-mam and honestly it very popular with the plus size lolita community, and I want to own some of there blouse bc I heard there supper comfortable, also a great place for basics... you do need to use a shopping service to order from them though
Want the pie dress! Oh cool, call out to Clover!
This is such a cute look today!💖
hi lor!!! first time being early hehe, excited to watch the video
as soon as u said GLB streams with boba tea, I immediately had to go and subscribe to ur Twitch, bc it sounds amazing! hoping the streams would be at a time when I can also tune in as a European ;_;
I would definitely be interested in a flipping through the gothic lolita Bible video or stream...
The "re-create art" thing looks really fun. It should be a new tend. Alongside the blindfold challenge, I would like to see more lolitas do it.
Heyy I remember that poeple used to scan them and share them, does anyone know where I can find all of the magazines scanned?
The lolita history website was mentioned but does not have all of the issues scanned iirc.
Your other options are looking for groups that share scans (iirc most of those are on livejournal, even now) and blogs that share them. Google search scans of a particular volume you want to see.
Could u do a video where you recreate/ create in the same style as your favorite AP or sweet Lolita ads from the magazine with you and holly as the models
loved this video!!! please do more videos on GLB
I would lend out my GLB magazines to friends back in high-school ☺ 👍good times.
I have split hair and IW's anniversary pie apron :3
Ohhh!!! Clover is from my comm yayy!!!!
Not me waiting to see the video looking at the gothic lolita releases lol

Hi! Does someone know where I can buy normie but still cute clothing that is not fast fashion? Thanks
"BTSSB from 2013 doesn't sell for that much" ..... suddenly the price skyrockets
I one book that had the story of the girls husband was turning into flowers. If I was home right now I would tell you what issue it was. (If it's a issue you need for your collection I'll let you have mine) (our ps vita collection taking over )
Squirrel chandelier print???? He'll yeah
Sounds super weird I'm not a Lolita But I love them in mostly in English
What's with the squirrels?
the pie dress,,, if you look up camp in a dictionary, that's what you'll find
I have 5 GLBs

LIVESTREAM, livestream the GLBs please! \o/
It would be really cool if you did lolita social experiments idk
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS
