My first Halloween lolita meet up......But I am the HOST???

For Halloween I am hosting my very FIRST lolita meet-up! Now what is a lolita meet up you may be asking???? A lolita meet up is what it sounds like! People who dress up or are interested in lolita fashion got to a gathering with other lolitas and we socialize! Meet ups are like big group friend dates! Actually this coming weekend I am going to an neighboring lolita meet up! It's about an hour and half away though (︶︹︺)

Think about when a group of you and your close friends go out, you guys could decide to go to a movie, a park, a festival or whatever! Same thing for lolita meet ups but the most common places we tend to got to are tea houses, cafes, amusement parks, a restaurant historical parks or gardens and there is so much more you can do! 

Funny story is I actually have not been to a lolita meet up before. "Ha-ha weird right? And I'm planning one? Why even?" you might be thinking. The reason why I am planning a meet up is for a few reasons.
 
 1.) My local lolita community is dead/not very active. By this I do not mean, there are no lolita's in my area, just that our community is not as unified or active as it COULD be. Many larger cities such as NYC, LA, etc, have meets ups often because it is a larger amount of people interested in the fashion there and there are actually more things to do. I know girls that travel to NYC from western NY because that is the only place they can express being a lolita aside from anime conventions. There are conventions dedicated to Japanese fashion but either they are far away or there aren't many currently. I only know of 3 Japanese fashion oriented conventions.

2.) You don't have to be a professional lolita to create an event You do not have to be well versed, a lolita model, or anything extraordinary to create a  meet-up. I have started wearing the fashion in April of 2015, I am still a newbie but I would like my community to have more events so I decided to take an initiative and JUST DO IT !

3.) WE NEED A HALLOWEEN MEET!! What lolita does NOT want to dress up on Halloween of all days of the year?! It's a given we do LOL. For the record lolita is NOT a costume.
