Tales: The red ridding hood

Everyone know the story of the red ridding hood, the one where this little girl goes to see her grandma, and in the way is tricked by a wolf
Such innocent little girl

The wolf sent her to the longest path while he takes a shorter way, eats his grandma and puts her sleep gown on. 

Then the little red ridding hood arrives the wolf tries to eat her but a woodcutter appears like superman and rescues the poor girl

Well, this is the actual version because years, lots of them, before we had another interesting version

One more "for adults" where the wolf not only eat her but before that rapes her

Giving the female readers of that time period not to be innocent but distrustful when dealing with men, whose are identified by the wolf (A not very well valued animal then)

However time ago i met a woman who told me there was another version more from the same epoch

This time the villain is not the Big bad wolf. Not, this time is the devilish red ridding hood. Who in not very fond of her grandma and wants to kill her. So she tricks the wolf making the poor fool girl 

The wolf thinking that is going to have a nice dinner goes to the house and eats red ridding hood's grandma

Meanwhile the red ridding hood is asking for help to a woodcutter that was close, telling him that a big bad wolf ate her grandma. So the kind hearted woodcutter goes and kill the not too innocent wolf.

In this way, the little red ridding hood got rid of her grandma, obtaining a new house and eliminating the danger that was around, the wolf.

Dress choices and models height

For a long time i've been interested in lolita brand items. But it's expensive so i needed to sit down and think for a long time(meanwhile, saving money). Now, 6 months later i decided what i really want.

Cute, right?

Well, now i have the choices and in a week or so IW is going to have their winter sale and im crossing fingers to be lucky and have these items price discounted but, because always there will be a but, i changed my mind.  Blue is a difficult colour to coordinate for me, because i almost wear white and black, so im choosing between beige and black version. I decided my second JSK it's not really nice as it seemed at first, so deleted from the list, and the last one, the colour i wanted it's already sold out =(
I would make a sad face but hey! it means i can buy a long sleeved shirt and a cardigan or a coat instead (i really need it) Not everything went bad =)
But (ouch, another but) there's also the JSK lenght, short or long? I measured myself and long seems the best option because i wanted it below knees. Then i saw the model wearing long and it's too long! Saw the model in short version and the skirt it's almost as what i measured on myself. I checked again and models short version coincides, long version not (what??)
I rumbled through the internet and looked for lolitas who have it. And lucky day!, 2 girls answered me, and there's more luck, one has the short version and the other has the long
Now i know i'm gonna buy the short version and probably the beige because i have tons of black in my wardrobe

Why i wrote all this?

Simple, lots of girls seems to buy things in a rush, then happens that "it's too short","the colour dont convince me","i have nothing to coordinate", etc.
You stabbed your moneybag and nothing good came out.
So my advice is take a breath and choose carefully what you want

Also i wrote this to complaint because brands never put the models height (or even have a model). I dont wanna show my tummy because the shirt isn't long enough ¡__¡ (ok, ok, this is exaggerate but you got what i mean)
I think just Bodyline gives their models measurements, one point for them!

And that's all for today
Thanks for reading  ;3
