So uh, your Bibliotheca Blog Boss may have unintentionally taken the summer off. And also, like, Labor Day Weekend. (Listen, it was my nephew's birthday. I had to make him a Diver Dave dessert deal and stuff.) Here's posts from our bloggers from June, July, and August! We have some leftover bananas down below. And..
Please welcome our latest member of the blog beat, Rosiers Sauvages!

Remember kids: chiffon is a weave, and bananas are a fiber

Ah yes, the olā āwaiting for someone to buy my stuff alreadyā sitch
If you wanna know what itās like to run an event like this, thereās alsoā¦you knowā¦(gestures)
Limited Menu? A buffalo? Garf? Is this a secret codeā¦
Who doesnāt like camp?
Fun fact: we always run out of plus size models! Itās uh, very stressful. We look forward to your applications.
Paging lolibrariansā¦
It took me a bit to grok Whering is an appā¦
Dearie Dawn
Mushi-pan is high tier snack food, clearly a lolita of taste
Fun fact: you can kinda still use a touchscreen with netted gloves
Hello Lizzie Bee
Fun fact: Kelp has a really consistent bird of paradise plant in her backyard that blooms every year!
(in Slightly Knowledgeable Mom voice) Oh, yes, the Space Marinesā¦
Itās true - Bratz fashion holds upĀ
Okay but real talk - wouldĀ Sailor Mercury mesh with Cinamoroll?
Many years ago, I watched an entire documentary on Poundland, that focused on their production of knockoff Toblerone, called Twin Peaks? It has slightly less chocolate so the margins are better. My brain has held onto this knowledge.
Clotted cream AND a nap? Living in true luxuryā¦
Okay but now ~Iām~ craving wafflesā¦
Feel feel to browse, but donāt carouse- wait. Can you carouse virtually?
I Don't Know Much But I'm Learning

Oh, that VM dress! I wonder how heavy it isā¦ (a similar skirt version I own weighs more than a large turkey leg).
Lovelylaceandlies
Kelpās tip: no matter how much you attempt to put the fear of God into people, there will always be one person wearing non-sensible shoes to outdoor meetups.
It says a lot that the first thing I did was check Lolibrary to see if the official entry calls it āDog Skirtā
Honestly, with Reiwa trends, brands are diverging from these more than ever. Remember kids - lolita fashion is punk!

Rosiers Sauvages
Did you know: no one in the US dairy industry is producing double cream, even though they totally could, so that I could make proper clotted cream at home. A travesty.
Moral panics about modern youth are so reliably cyclical that you can find the same scandals about gals, lolitas, scene kids, etc.
For a trifecta of fun facts: count/mass distinctions are not 100% consistent across varieties of English, as well as...a lot of other stuff. Variation! The spice of life!
Okay but considerā¦sometimes weāre weird archivistsā¦
And this is why we here at Bay Area Kei support stockists!
Being in this fashion does sure teach you a lot about the socioeconomics of peopleās spending habits (even if youāre not a spreadsheet lolita)
Internet people using the word ādiscourseā to mean ādiscussions on currently controversial topicsā means I can no longer tell people my research specialization without them laughing. Pour one out for all us Foucaldian scholars out there.
Itās true - Akira has been pretty cool for a while now. (Did you know there was a Popple called P.C., which stood for- sorry. Brainworms.)
Stephano
Real talk - is there less stuf in double stuf Oreos nowadays? Has someone looked into this.

No clotted cream AND scones polluted with blueberries? Clearly, we live in the bad place.
As a Sacramentan, this isā¦honestly still pretty far. But that is a good price!
