With regard to Marianne Cotugno's charming note, I am glad the makers
of the Radiant Lolita bicycle have greater knowledge of the name's
origin than the nincompoops who -- from bottom to top -- run
Woolworth's of England. Incidentally, there are numerous Lolitas, thus
named by at least moderately literate parents, who are proud to bear
the name and, most likely, would be delighted to have slept in the bed.
Withdrawal of the Lolita bed to placate a vociferous unread mother or
two was a bad marketing move.
