                            THE LOLITAS IN CANCÚN



The last Wedneday in the class  the teacher made us to present  something  about a subculture  and we  decided  to  talked about  the lolitas because a  friend of us is one of them , also she is the lolitas leader here in Cancún .  So we choose that theme , she said that they have an adorable way of life . The mens  are called   "kodonas", but they are not common as the girls. Originally the lolitas is a fashion subculture originated  in 1970   in Japan. Their  dress   is based on Victorian era clothing as well as costumes from the Rococo period, but the style has expanded greatly in all Japan.  In that city  are lot of companies sells various Lolita fashions. They are addicted  of fashion  , and teddies and bunnies. 

Specifically here  in Cancun  we can see a group of people who share this Japanese way of life it´s an  important subculture, with some radical differences, as  the places and also that here in Cancún  we don´t have stores for  lolitas  .  You could say it's  only a fad,  but it is a way of thinkingof course  not as developed as in Japan.

Cancun  actually  has 2 groups of lolitas, together they  reach about a hundred people, most of whom are women. A few months ago we  had the opportunity to interview some  of them in a convention ,  to find out a little bit more about them and their lifestyle.
 

They don´t dressed  Japanese costumes all the time , they don´t  follow very strictly line as far as the colors.

The most important questions of all that are  How can they you do it with all the obstacles  that Cancún represent ? What do their  parents and cancun´s society  think about  their activities ?
The responses are varied, but  we  can reach several similarities.
The  lolitas  girls  in  our city  are between fifteen and twenty-five years,  they are students and workers, many of them are studying cooking, fashion design or graphic design, photography or other type of communication, and other jobs like management and nutrition. But mostly the first mentioned.


The answer to this  is the  important  Asian influence due to consume anime and certain  type  of music ( asian ) , and  all the fashion style.
They usually meet at the home of someone of them, they love poetry criticism, make plays, share  books  while eating cakes and cookies or any  food they have cooked themselves , also in it´s  a reality  in  Cancún.  

Their  parents know about their activities and most accept it , they  don´t stop  thinking that is something  unusual . They respect the decisions of their  and support them to some points. To close this description . The lolitas don´t wear seven days a week as in Japan, but the way of thinking and relating the lifestyle  is  consider like an original japannese  lolita.

Ta conclude  I wan to say that the culture is important and it  expands all over the world because of the globalization  ,   and a way  of life like is this subculture   is  more than countries , cities , and the most important thing in life is to repect and  respect the liberty that everyone of us have to expressed our selfs  as we want to .
