It is interesting- I prefer unshaven pubic hair (adult content) on women. In the Gothic Lolita community, they are talking about a gothic lolita character in Hot Topic. Some worry about 'main streamness' While I'm not an expert, I'd sure most people might just incorporate some lace in their wardrobe, and not do the whole elaborate thing with the headdresses and elegant gloves and clothing with tons of frills and lace and everything. I mean, I have some pairs of flared jeans, but that doesn't make me a hippie.

Not to mention, it's not like there is a massive influx of gothic lolita designs at Hot Topic. Here are the skirts at Hot Topic and here are the skirts at Baby the Stars Shine Bright, a Japanese store. They certainly look alike,eh?
