Indulgeyour fantastical side with a fragrance lamp set as whimsical as a fairy tale. This gift set contains the Lolita Lempicka perfume, adapted for the home and accompanied by a Maison Berger fragrance lamp paying homage to the original perfume bottle design.

The Lolita Lempicka home fragrance opens on fresh notes of star anise and the bite of ivy leaves that give way to seductive licorice flower and delicate orris. Tonka bean, creamy wood, caramel, and cistus labdanum close the composition on a gourmand, sensual base.


Lolita grew up in Ainsworth, NE as the only sister to three older brothers. She graduated from Ainsworth High School in 1962. On June 16, 1962 she married Jerry Taylor at the Congregational Church in Ainsworth and they made their home on the Taylor Ranch northwest of Stuart, NE. In 1967 they were blessed with the arrival of their son Todd Thomas.


Lolita always enjoyed a good card game or just sitting and visiting with friends. Later in life Jerry and Lolita attempted semi-retirement and moved to Bassett, NE, but ranching was their life and they eventually returned to the ranch.


Lolita was proceeded in death by her husband, Jerry; parents, Ulyse and Lucille Lambley; and brothers, Tommy and Herris Lambley. She is survived by her son Todd (Julie) Taylor of Long Pine, NE; brother Gary (LaVella) Lambley of Burke, SD; granddaughters Cassie (Tyler) Craven of Gordon, NE and Tara Taylor of Omaha, NE; great-granddaughters Stormy and Dolly; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.


Who is your market for this kind of work? Are more men or women buying these chairs? Where would you put something like this in your home or office? Can you give me some ideas how this chair might be incorporated into an interior? Lolita has already received praise from top international art collectors, design aficionados and critical reviewers. The editor of Les plus beaux intrieurs in Paris fell in love with her and featured her in the latest issue of that magazine. Certainly Lolita has received attention from male collectors but not exclusively so. She is an accent piece that can be displayed and seated in any contemporary setting. I assure you that she is bound to promote comment and conversation.


"Lolita will be welcomed by her family, with the honors and ceremonies of the Lummi's still preserved culture. Some of them will be shared to the people live stream in social media," the Seaquarium said in a Facebook post.


According to the Lummi Nation, its members traveled to Athens, Georgia, earlier this week to culturally and traditionally prepare Toki's ashes for her journey home. A necropsy was conducted in August by vets and pathologists at the University of Georgia. Final results will be released soon and made available to the public, the Seaquarium said in its statement.


"This week's ceremonies are private for Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut's Lummi relations. Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut will be honored with a public celebration of life at a date to be announced later," the Lummi Nation said.


Hello and welcome. This is a collection of lolita stock photos and low quality scans of sections of out of print fashion magazines (most are over 10 years old). The images are provided for fashion history study under fair use. We encourage people who are interested in the fashion to attempt to obtain physical copies of the fashion publications through second hand book sellers, like amazon japan.


If we look at the first image below, we see someone who is wearing a blouse that fits more or less into what we consider lolita today, paired with the same MILK skirt from the lolita spread in Cutie. In the center, the dot print OP and more importantly, the apple gingham print skirt are both from MILK. While the skirt might not read as current lolita, it does read as being something we might see from Emily Temple Cute, which was also considered a lolita brand in the early days. And on the right, we see quintessential old school lolita looks, and the look on the right cites MILK again. Note the deep tucks at the bottom of the sax skirt and the open work between the tiers. These features are quite common in Kaneko-kei style pieces, but in this case, this is clearly lolita. (The girl in cream on the left in the last image is wearing Jane Marple).


Around 2017-2018-ish, I started to see a trend with Chinese indie brands where there were these solid colored classic pieces that had heirloom details, and longer skirts. Some had front button details like these pieces from A-Sauce and others, like this little Dipper OP were just very classic. And, pieces like this have kind of always existed to some degree, I had a set with a top and two laying front button skirts from Dear Celine from about 2012? but there was for sure an increase. Also an increase in aprons.


And Petite Bouquet which also got a re-release. I think the contrasting patterns (floral and gingham) and the red colorway especially, really invokes that layering that we see with Pink House. However, interestingly, the layers are fake.


And there is a Tablier (31,800円) which they actually call a tablier. And yes, they have release one or two items they called Tabliers before, but never quite like this, and never paired with something that looks so much like something PH would put out.


What are your thoughts on the Kaneko-kei influence trend? Love it? Hate it? Want to see more of it?



Also, I realize I packed a bunch of supporting info into this post. Just out of curiosity, was this helpful, or too much stating of the obvious to you?


Thanks for this post. I really enjoyed it! I collect BJDs, and Volks has always been a doll brand that is highly lolita-adjacent, with some official BTSSB collabs in the past, as well as many lolita-styled outfits for the dolls. In 2019 and again in spring 2022, Volks has done collaborations with Pink House, releasing two pairs of dolls dressed in Pink House outfits (with the corresponding human-sized outfits available from Pink House). The dolls this year, 2022, are marketed as celebrating 40 years of Pink House.


Their town was in a very remote part of Kentucky, and Lolita had to walk literally seven miles to school each day. When she was old enough, Lolita left her small mining town, enlisting in the U.S. Air Force in the early 1950s, during the Korean War.


Lolita was first stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, where she met a handsome airman named Almont Levi Rumrill. The two soon found themselves serving together overseas in Germany. They were married on October 19, 1954, by a US Air Force Chaplain, Duane Schoeder, at Lackland AFB.


Faced with being a single parent, and having an intimate understanding of its effects on children from her own childhood, Lolita was determined to give her son a better childhood than she had. She worked hard to provide for him, and enlisted the aid of her aunts and uncles to help raise Duane.


In the mid-1960s, wanting to find better opportunities, Lolita and her son moved north to Holland, Michigan, where she had some relatives. She found a job at the Batts Hangar factory in Zeeland, and found a house on 15th Street between Pine and Maple avenues. It was a good, quiet neighborhood, with even better neighbors!


Lolita, Leon and Duane became a family. Some years after Jeanne and Duane became members of First Reformed Church, Lee and Lolita decided to make First Church their church home as well. Lolita was active in the Keen Agers and many of the trips and outings.


Lolita loved celebrating the holidays with her family, and Easter was a very special time for her. She and her son Duane had a special tradition, when he was a little boy Lolita would buy a baby duckling every Easter, raising it for awhile and then eventually sending it to live a good life on the family farm in Tennessee. They had a name for every duck, too, from Casper to Quacky!


Then, on Monday, March 24, 2008, Lolita suffered a bad fall at her home. She went to the hospital, and was sent home the next day to recover. Sadly, her health took a sudden turn for the worse, and she died on Wednesday, March 26, 2008, at the age of 74.


Lolita was a wonderful woman, a woman of such great strength and love. She faced many challenges in her lifetime, yet enjoyed so many triumphs, and so many successes. Her greatest success was always found in the family she loved most of all, who carry her memory with them today. She will be greatly missed.


Services will be 11 am Tuesday April 1, 2008 at First Reformed Church of Holland 630 State in Holland, with the Rev. Dick Dooden and Dr. Dan Gillett officiating. Burial will be at Restlawn Memorial Gardens.


The Miami Seaquarium, which was recently purchased by The Dolphin Co., entered an agreement in March with Friends of Toki, a Florida nonprofit, to return Tokitae to an ocean sanctuary in the northwest.


Just a few days ago, Kelley Balcomb-Bartok, the son of Ken Balcomb, chronicler of the southern resident orcas, wrote in the Journal of the San Juans that after decades of effort, the last surviving captive southern resident orca may be coming home soon.


Raynell Morris Squil-le-he-le, of the Lummi Nation, said she was boarding a plane for Miami to be with the whale, and insist she come home at last. She has had enough. She deserves to be laid to rest.


By the mid-1970s, some 270 orcas were estimated to have been captured in the Salish Sea, the transboundary waters between the U.S. and Canada. At least 12 of those orcas died during capture, and more than 50 were kept for captive display.


A report filed by a federal veterinary medical officer in 2021 detailed multiple violations of animal care standards. Tokitae was given meager rations, fed rotten fish and forced to do high-energy jumps and tricks despite a jaw injury from fast swims, the report stated.


We congratulate all those who have made this groundbreaking decision possible, including thousands of In Defense of Animals supporters and people all over the globe who have spent years protesting, writing letters, and educating the public about the desperate need for Toki to go home.
