That’s My Lo. Winner of the 2023
DOLORES HAZE OUTFIT FACEOFF
Maybe it is fitting that the first time we see her in the movie, that first look that mesmerized Humbert Humbert, also had the same effect on most of us.
This contest was fun and I want to thank everyone who participated.
Now back to our regular scheduled content.
Enjoy your summer everyone, and as always, thank you for visiting my blog.

for the person who was asking about Nabokov's Lolita and if its difficult to read (or just anyone who is thinking about reading it) -
it IS difficult both because of the subject matter and the way it is written. Nabokov has a very complex, descriptive, flowery/embellished and witty writing style. there are so many references, wordplay, puns etc throughout the book, so many that you could read it multiple times and find new things you didnt notice before. ontop of that the vocabulary is difficult as well. but dont let this discourage you from picking the book up. you can use an ebook reader that has a dictionary built in to make it easier.
the subject matter, while disturbing, is not graphic. there are no outright mentions or descriptions of the abuse. the thing that makes it difficult especially if you are young is the fact that it is written from Humbert's pov, meaning, from the brain of the abuser, thus the language used to describe the abuse is very very manipulative. it makes it very easy to romanticize the way he is taking advantage of Dolores.
if you understand that, and are able to see how Humbert is an unreliable narrator, then you shouldnt have any difficulty reading the book. it is quite a good book and has an interesting perspective that we dont see often.
yes this !!!
