I am all for Qing-loli.

There is *everything*-loli.
I've seen "Qi-loli" a lot...less elaborate than this but Chinese-based. Would that be the same thing? ::sounds completely ignorant...appropriately::



Shoes are love, btw.

These are ancient (is from 2005 haha) and it's been done quite a few times more recently, but I can't be bothered to dig too deep atm (plus I'm at work and don't want a whole lot of crazy images on my computer screen!! haha)

Hm... yes, that'd be it. Qing refers to the dynasty, whereas Qi refers to the ethnicity (the "chu" of Manchu...)

Yeah I thought it was something like that...but couldn't remember clearly...hence the ::plays ignorant...but not pretending:: ;)

... Maybe? I don't know what Qi-loli means...
