In other words, “A Beginner’s Guide to Not Being an Ita.”

I think the first thing to answer here though is a question I get a lot which is “What is an ita?” Well, an ita is basically a really, really bad Lolita. The term comes from the Japanese word “itai” meaning “ouch.” Literally, an ita is a Lolita who “looks so bad it’s painful to look at.” Ita has become a pretty popular insult among the Lolita community and it’s really something you’ll want to avoid being called.

Me (Brienna Di’ane) with Atelier Pierrot designer, Eichi, at the Harajuku Hearts/Angelic Pretty booth at ACen. I believe they mentioned that this was her first trip to the US.
