This is not completely related to lolita fashion, but still has a bit to do with it. I'm sure you have sometimes looked in the mirror and thought "Oh no, I look so horrible, and this pretty dress is not even going to change it". Not even because of lesser dating opportunities, but also because pretty people just have an unfair step ahead in life, or so it seems. From time to time another research pops up that explains how pretty people have better job opportunities/more friends/make more money and whatever they like to explore nowadays.
The big advantage of lolita fashion is that it isn't meant to make you look sexy, which makes it less confronting in my opinion. For example, if I still don't look attractive after spending hours preparing on a sexy festival outfit, I can get really upset, thinking stuff like: 'What guy would want me, anyway?'. But with lolita, I just don't care about what guys will think of me because they will probably be distracted by my 'weird clothes' anyway!
I think there are only a few girls that can honestly say they are pretty, and even if they are, they sometimes don't even see it. For me, it isn't some kind of BDD. A lot of people have agreed with my own opinion that I'm not, well, very pretty. I am happy with my body, which is not something a lot of women can say and it hasn't always been that way so I am really thankful for that now. I am also happy with how my face looks from the front. Ok, it is too long and not *gasp! oh so model like gorgeous~!* but whatever, Liv Tylers face is too long as well and at least I don't look deformed. Besides, this is an advice for all girls with this weird face shape: bangs work wonders.
But from the side..from the side I really look horrible. My nose is huge with a bump on it, my face is flat and my chin weak. In my teenage years I was really depressed about it. I can't imagine it now, but I used to long for a nose job *shudder*. I still think about it sometimes, but actually I am really against plastic surgery. After all, if you can't accept your own flaws, can you accept them on others? Of course I'm not talking about fixing birth 'defects', reconstructing faces after accidents and such. It's one thing to accept looking average but of course no one should feel deformed.

As for me, I used to feel like I was deformed while in reality, I am average. On the less fortunate side of average but definitely not freakish. I've come to terms with my flaws and I am happy to be average everyday. Of course I am a bit upset sometimes when some shallow *ss comes and declares everybody with less than modellike looks horribly ugly. But that's their shortcoming, not mine, so whenever I encounter somebody like that I always enjoy myself with the following song.
(You know you want to hear it!)
(You know you want to hear it!)
Even though that fucker just ignored my compliment and replied to everyone elses /rage.
I have really mixed feelings about the maker of this video (highschool kid with too much time), I think he is a genius and I want to cut his balls off and show him hell for ignoring me at the same time.
