After hearing countless references to this movie from Lolita's and sites about Lolita, I finally found it on ebay and bought it. I must say, this is probably my fav movie now! I love japanese movies to begin with, but the main character of Kamikaze Girls is a lifestyle Lolita! ^o^ And not only that, but she lives in the country with no other Lolita's around her. Just like me. ^^; This Lolita's name is Momoko. Everyday she walks for 30 minutes from her home in Shimotsuma to the train station, which she then takes to Tokyo so she can shop at her fav store, Baby The Stars Shine Bright. When money gets tight, she decides to sell some of her father's fake brand clothes. Her first customer is a rough-and-tumble gangster girl named Ichigo. When Ichigo sees all of the fake brand products Momoko is selling for cheap, she acts as though she's found paradise. Gradually, the two girls become friends and go to great lengths for eachother.
Momoko wears most any Lolita style in the movie, including a Shirololi that turns Gurololi at the end. She's also great at making alterations to her clothes. In one part of the movie, moths eat a few holes in Momoko's white bonnet from Baby The Stars Shine Bright. Instead of throwing it away and buying a new one, she cuts hearts from the holes and embroiders around them. If I could embroider, I'd love to make such alterations! ^-^ There are some super cute fashions in the movie!
Actually, I'm watching the movie right now. Ichigo is carrying Momoko's light pink parasol. That parasol look so out of place in Ichigo's hands. lol Sorry, I just had to comment on that. ^^;
