Addicted to Being a Doll??

For a while I have been watching some videos on the living doll look, japan fashion, kfashion, gyaru fashion, lolita fashion, and more, and it really bothers me that social media and tv shows have turned all of these styles into a "weird" thing, when they aren't lifestyles or even "addictions", but are just ways a person may dress.
In the tv show, My Strange Addiction, there have been a few episodes based on the "living doll" lifestyle. They consider the living doll lifestyle to be where a person tries to be like a doll. These people will generally emphasize their makeup looks, wear colored contacts or evem circle lenses (contact lenses with a larger diameter), wear doll-like clothing, and may alter their body shape. But, in the show, they talk about how these people are "addicted" to "being dolls" and that they "cannot stop", but in reality, it is their own choice of how to dress and look, and they can change it if they choose to, and are not addicted! They can change as they please and can do what they want!
Another thing I want to point out is that social media, and tv shows have linked lolita fashion to the living doll style, but in reality, they are two different styles all together.
While the living doll movement is based on looking and dressing like a modern doll, lolita style is based upon Victorian styled, 1800's clothing and fashion.
Another thing I would like to point out, is it even possible to be addicted to dressing a certain way? I mean, in a non-serious way, I think every girl that is into fashion and has her own style is "addicted to how she dresses, but I fail to recognize how it is possible to be literally, addicted to dressing a certain way. Wearing certain clothes is not like smoking a cigarette or drinking alcohol. It also DOES NOT go along with the tv show, My Strange Addiction" at all! The popular tv show portrays people who are addicted to drinking paint, for example, or eating chalk. Wearing clothing is a necessity (unless it is legal to be naked in public where you are, I would not know) and people should be able to wear whatever type of clothing they want and should definitely NOT be judged by it.

The following photo is of lolita girls. Many girls and boys in (mainly Harajuku,) Japan style themselves with lolita fashion. This style is not insulated or looked upon in bad light. Lolita fashion is looked upon as adorable and fashionable.

The next picture is of one of my favorite youtubers, Venus Angelic. She considers herself a living doll but reflects lolita fashion as well. She is known by many as an inspiration and has over 100 thousand youtube subscribers.

The last photo is of two "living dolls". Although their makeup and contact lenses may seem a bit extravagant or overdone, other than their looks, and their seemingly "perfect" bodies, they are exactly as you and me. Many of them are youtubers and try to show the living doll movement in a good light.

Overall, these people are just like you and me. They walk, talk, eat, sleep, the same way we do. The only difference is their looks. But then again, doesn't everyone look different? And don't our parents tell us not to judge a book by its cover? Or how about a doll by its plaster??

Feminism

So recently, I've been spending alot of time on youtube and tumblr and alot of other social networks, and I've been noticing ads for feminism groups. Many brands and groups that work for feminism are forming and I've become very proud of where this is going. For once I feel overpowered and glad to be a girl.

About a month ago, I saw a youtube ad that had young girls explain what they though "like a girl" meant. The girls told them that they took it as an insult and that it wasn't good to be "like a girl". 

They also asked some kids to show them how a girl ran, or fought, or played baseball etc. and the girls did everything very weak and wimpy. But into the video they explained to the girls that girls are strong and can do whatever they want, as long as they try hard and stand up for themselves and their rights. At the end of this video, they asked them to show them what it was like to be a girl and they all acted strong.

Now this video had stuck in my head for a while now, and today i was on youtube again and I saw another video.

This video was branded by Covergirl and had a group of girls doing computer coding. It shouwed them talking about womens rights and how women are strong. There were other videos on youtube by covergirl, but the one that really stuck out to me was where they had a bunch of famous women talk about how women can!

And to continue that, women can! I really hope this is a new revolution. Women and girls alike need to stand up for ourselves and each other. I'm so sick of hearing how sexism is still going on and I want to change! We need to have women presidents and women workers and scientists and doctors! Women cannot be shamed for being smarter than men and we CANNOT be considered objects because we are living, breathing beings! Objectifying women is wrong and we have to stand above this. It's time for women to take a stand.
