Babbles in Polish TV

Polish TV will never learn anything. 

They recorded a short program about Japanese Lolita

and invited some "specialists" to a studio.

You can watch the program here.

(but it is in Polish of course).

When I saw that they invited a sexologist

I had a bad premonition.

Quite true...

Even a person with a graduation 

in Japanese studies had no idea

about anything.

And I can not understand why they thought that a girl 

who took a part in Japanese talent show

and was in Japan

can know anything about Lolita Fashion at all O_o

Lolita Fashion is not Lolita Complex. 

They were talking about something different than they show on pictures.

What they said was true, but it was about 

burikko (child-like women).

A pun on furi (show, appearance) and ko (child).

And I encountered with opinions that they sometimes

use such way to seduce men.

But it has nothing to do with Lolita. 

Matsuda Seiko was an influential star in

kawaii subculture, but she has nothing to do with Lolita.

Lolita Fashion is not an expression

of women's position in Japanese society,

but is rather a rebellion against it. 

Let's quote an interview with a Lolita girl

who works in Tokyo's Babyssb store.

This generation - girls in their mid-twenties now- 

is no longer pressured to get married and have children. 

Lolitas enjoy living alone, enjoy being surrounded by cute things, 

creating their own worlds.

I am happy as I am. 

There are older people that come into the store. 

Even when I get older I'll continue living this life.

 For Lolitas, fantasy is better than reality. 

Seeing someone in concert, for example, is an image of perfection. 

All made up and dressed to the nines, a living doll - 

Lolitas find that much more appealing than putting up with some guy who complains

Of course it can also be false

to some people who wear it just because it is cute

(in fact one does not exclude the other)

or they can have other reasons,

but if we want to show a tendency 

this one should be presented.

All this cute behavior and language (called noripiigo)

have nothing to do with Lolitas

who rather use very polite joseigo,

which they call as Lady's speech (shokujo no kotoba).

They use words like

Osore irimasu- I am sorry

Go-kigen you -Good bye

or ending seu.

For all Japanese learners it is quite obvious

that it is not something normally used in colloquial Japanese.

It gives them aristocrat, princess- like image.
