My first Gyaru Meet + Thrift Haul

 I went to a convention recently. And tbh I'm super shyyyyy >_<  

The day before the event I went to Goodwill and got some new fits which is so awesome

I also had bought a cheetah print long-sleeved top but I forgot to take a picture of it and honestly my cheetah print long-sleeves can be a bit redundant since it's like my second cheetah print long-sleeve.

Before the event I was really nervous it was the first meet up I had ever been to and would be the first time I ever meet other gyarus ever. I also had non gal friends I was going to hang out with too. 

But before the con I woke up pretty late like at 12pm that day and didn't have time to straighten  my hair because I had to go to the con at 2 and it's 30 minutes away and basically I had to leave out at 1:30

I worked hard on my makeup but I didn't have Lashes, I never bought a wig for the con annnnddddd my makeup wore off basically before I even got there 

This was my makeup before the event. Honestly totally not gal enough 😢😞

And then when I got there I couldn't find my friend or the other gyarus for the meetup.

I started to get super super nervous. Finally I called one of the gyarus I was in contact with Bee. And she answered and I finally met her and another gyaru.

It was amazing seeing them in real life they looked just so cute and great! 

I felt so shy and awkward because I felt like I just wasn't gal enough with them.

But they were super fun and I bought a tail while I was hanging out with them.

Another fun thing is that alot of people at the ahime convention knew we were gyarus and that was even better and more fun that we were recognized 

Later I saw some of my non gyaru friends and spent time back and forth with the gyarus and my normal friends 

Which tbh became a little frustrating because I really wanted to spend time with the Gals. And do para para together.

But my best friend who is not a gal Nikki we spent time together and she bought me a really cool poster. It was a sign photo of Luna from Sailor Moon signed by the real English voice actor ♥  I was soo happy.

I also bought a cool metal mug for beer lol

Overall I had a really fun time.

I ended up leaving with my non gal friends so I left the meetup early.

Honestly after meeting other Gals it did inspire me to work harder to become an ever better gyaru.

I hope to be one for a really long time.

Yea anyways lol thanks for reading 🌺 

My time machine worked and I woke up Gyaru in 1999

So RECENTLY

I woke up in Japan in 1999. So I popped in a parapara VHS and started looking through some magazines. I noticed the girls were tooo cute 

我也想可爱了

Please enjoy my photocard

better.... enjoy this photocard of my cuteness

As a old school gyaru I hope to one day find my way back into the modern times, possibly I will get a time machine at some point built.

In the meantime I can still reach you GALS with my blog since blogspot was invented in 1999.

Besides that

Jokes aside, I have fallen in love with old school Gal. I want to get better and travel throughout gyaru on my time machine and play in different eras

Thanks for reading🌺

 

Miss the old Gals--plus Liz Lisa Boom?

 Do you guys remember 

Lovelyify 

I thought about her for a bit. I think her blog is gone but I found her using the wayback maching.

It had me thinking about other Gyaru and J-Fashion bloggers like universal doll and a few others. 

I miss the community back then. As I often say I am 100% a baby gyaru as last year was really the first time I started more aggressively attempting the fashion. But I have loved gyaru since I think 2010 and it was such an interesting and cool thing I had discovered. I would often read blogs in the community and admire the styles and looks of all the girls in the fashion. I truly stopped paying attention to gyaru in 2016 and then just recently became interested in it again.

As I looked up a few older gyarus I came across lol cow and it quickly reminded me of how gyaru died. A lot of stuff back then became really toxic and elitist. It might be that way now, Buuuuttt I am not apart of any communities and I genuinely wouldnt care as much now about bully behavior etc.

But yea the gyarus back then were sooooo coooll I miss when everyone had a blog along with there own little html button linking to their blogs.

I absolutely cannot wait to get my tablet back and begin drawing again so I can draw my own button and work on some art for my blog.

I think this is something I wanted for a long time. So I hope to be loyal to my blog and being a gyaru. 

Anyways heres some pics some of my favorite gyarus back then

The girls whose names are in purple I linked their accounts. Im sure none of them are still Gal but I am not 100% sure

aRENT THEY SOOOO cUTEEE

And look how different everyones style is! This is why I love gyaru so much it has so many differnt looks and styles. Its really so amazing.

_______________________________________

I just adore LizLisa and the floral and browns like OMG!

(look its Lizziebee)

Dont get me wrong my heart belongs to the Old School Gal Fashion right now. But I am playing with the idea of these looks. I have never gone into an extremely girly style as liz lisa or himegyaru before. I think if I did dress like that I would get a lot of compliments. 

But write now I want to look like a Old School Gyaru and Tsuyome. But I may I might get some lizlisa peices. And I think when I get older Ill go for an Emoda Style and Onee Gyaru look.

Also, I think i may except not doing Amerikaji since. I actually already did it, and that was my style before I went publicly Gal or started taking Gal seriously.

My Cheetah loungewear and hair

 Hey Gals!

First of all please appreciate my pictures. I captioned my pics in 中文 to ya know keep practicing my mandarin.

我的可爱头发和睡衣

Lately I have been craving to cut my ends of my hair. So I did I cut off about 2 inches, I am not super happy lately. I am deciding to not go back to college and just cruise through life for awhile. I want to learn to enjoy life more and more and do my best to be happy.

I often get into mood swings. And become extremely sad sometimes. But I really want to focus on not doing that and do my best to be happy.

I was going to get a second job to afford more things, pay bills better and get new clothing. But to be honest I'd rather live life working as little as possible. And making just enough to pay my bills. If anything I might learn to sew and make gyaru clothing. But I don't want to spend excessively. 

I will live fine with my cheap ass makeup and thrifted clothing. 

I choose to be happy and live the way I want. 

Anyways Thanks for Reading🌺

I dont like pink! Also Gyaru roomspo

 I have a confession

Dont blame me gosh, I grew up loving the color blue. But I never hate pink I was indifferent but definitely blame it on the BRATZ TV show I use to watch it alot as a kid. And the main bratz characters they didnt like pink because the color was associated with the villain Barbie I mean Queen Burdine and the Tweevil characters. 

But after the show I absolutely did not like pink. And that was as a teen. Now as a young adult I genuinely do kinda find pink cute, alluring, definitely a very gyaru color. But Not My style Not my color. I truly prefer blue, aqua, purples and browns. 

Sadly everyone else loves pink in  gyaru as i said its a very very gal color.

Like sometimes I have noticed in Gyaru, pink always finds a way to be incorporated whether it's the clothing or hair or makeup.

 I have considered making myself like pink or at least learning to like the black pink mix of colors, like incorporating pink, but only if black is mixed in.

(BLACKPINK N YO AREA!!! BIIIIATTTTTCCCHHHH)

But I realized one of the most important things about gyaru is being yourself. So I am not intending on doing things that dont represent me and pink doesnt represent me.

Anyways I do love most other colors and I love love love love animal print. So I think itll be fine and I can still be Gyaru even if I never really wear pink or style my room pink.

__________________________________________________________________________

Next I wanted to post Gyaru Roomspo for myself.

One thing I ADORE about gyaru rooms is how realistically messy and nestlike alot of them are in magazine. As a gal who doesn't really enjoy heavily organizing my room I really like their rooms. I want to incorporate many elements into my room and create a super Gyaru style room.

the animal print is GIVING ME EVERYTHING

I like this alot but I would like it more if that pink was Aqua

or Blue

cheetah printtttttttt 🌺🌺❤❤❤❤

OK Now things I want to get for my future room

                                                                    cheetah print hello kitty pillow

cheetah print throw blanket

                                                        posters from my fave animes and groups

                                                                 Fluffy blue Rug 

And also lotsof rilakkuma everything 

Yea and thats all I can think of.

Btw I dont like pink on me or my stuff being pink but I do definitely think it is cute and aesthetic with other peoples things. Like many Gaijin Gyarus make me want to like pink because it is so cute and dolly with them. But Its just not my own personal vibe.

Anyways

Can I be Gyaru with Afro hairtype and No wig use???

 

Hey girls

So lets have a chat about (头发) –(see how I sneaked some of my mandarin practice in there.)

No but seriously lets talk about hair!!!!!

 

well actually to be specific

Black hair 

(Btw no pictures in this post are mine except the one near the end that is my profile picture. All of these images I retrieved from Pinterest.)

Sooo lately, I have been like crazy wanting to dye and straighten my hair. Pluss buy a bunch of wigs.

 Ultimately I want to look more Gyaru and a huge staple for the look I have notice is big flashy hair or sleek hairstyles with bangs. All of them dyed of course.

So as I began my process of drinking my hot chocolate bundled in my blanket, pretending I could afford … stuff. 

I found myself adding numerous wigs to my amazon cart and shein cart. Just the most Gyaru-est wigs I could think of! All brown and ash brown colored and curly.

And then instantly my heart raced. Thinking about how I don’t have to do my hair and can wear wigs all day and the freedom I'd feel being able to go out without such a frizzy fuzzball on my head.

Then I stopped.

.

.

Many people don’t know but I have struggled GREATLY with a type of hair dysphoria. I hated my 4b/4c hair texture to the point as a teen breaking down crying and sobbing for my mom to buy me a flat iron so my hair would stop looking so ugly.

I would often go to bed and dream of my natural hair becoming straight and brown or curly and long. Not my kinky afro.

And now as a gyaru.. tbh I kept thinking. It would be impossible to be a gyaru with my coily afro hair type. As well as there is no harm in getting a wig and extensions, afterall many real Japanese Gyarus wear hairpieces wigs and extensions too.

How could I look complete as a Gal with natural black hair?

But also… that’s not the true case I was making.

It wasn’t about whether other gals wore wigs and extensions or not. But rather should I and could I do the samE?

As a woman who has been brought to tears over and over again from my natural hair. Cursing my hair as I burnt it with heat bleached it and attempted but failed to have it be professionally straightened.

Could I really go back to wearing wigs even for an aesthetic or fashion?

It took many years for me to learn to love my natural hair, it has always been resilient and never thinned out on me no matter how much I abused it or Buried it under wigs or bleached it. It has always managed to bounce back and regain tremendous health. Currently now my natural hair has gotten quite thick and long. It is healthier then it has been since I was a PRETEEN.

I had finally, finally learned to love and appreciate my hair even when other people have said rude comments about it in public. Something that beforehand would have had me running home in tears, flatiron in hand to burn it to a crisp and even contemplate su1c1d3..  yesh I am that emotional about my hair.. 

Nowadays INSTEAD OF SELF HATING MYSELF i think about how they don’t understand the beauty, strength and versatility of the African coils that grow from my crown. It is beautiful and I am beautiful with the hair that naturally grows from my head.

Soooo Ive decided I will choose at least for now to not pursue incorporating wigs into my gyaru looks. And only use my natural hair and sometimes use extensions, but I want to keep playing with my kinks coils and all}                                       -Hence my profile picture.

Ways I will try to maintain my look to still follow a gyaru look is by attempting to maintain having dyed hair. Though to maintain my hairs health I only want to dye it between dark brown to maybe light a bit to a dark burnt ginger/red color. But not blonde or unusual colors that will require bleach. 

And with extensions I do hope to try different colors. That will bring out a gyaru vibe such as blondes, blues, pinks etc. Plus accessories.

So anyways I made a small colage of hairstyle inspo for myself.

Gyaru hairstyles for black and coiled hair gals.

Tbh its actually great so many black and biracial women love this fashion and kawaii fashion in general because there is so much inspiration from them.

The right side is gyaru images and the left side is the black hairstyles I would like to copy 🌴

I was gonna make more then one collage so I may make a part two to this post. In the meantimes..

I want a second job to buy gyaru shit +Learning Chinese

 HIIIIIII!

Finally I have made a post on my blog! 

Anyways recently my cheetah print Boom has been worse then ever. To be honest maybe I secretly became gyaru as an exscuse to get cheetah prints and lepoard prints more often.

Lately money has been to tight so I havent been able to buy anything at all. But I do like to imaginary shop on amazon or shein and put items on my lists or boards. To be honest I have decided it would be best to get a second job so I can afford more gyaru style outfits and looks. I recently found some outfits on shein I am desperate to get ASAP!

And obviously I made a collage of them

Isnt it cute right????

yES I AM very aware Gyaru looks arent only cheetah print. My board on shein also has non cheetah print looks too. But these are the looks I want really badly

I want the ribbed black top to match with a long cheetah print skirt I feel it will look so Onee Gal with a nice black purse and jewelry.

I was going to add the cheetah print maxi skirt onto the board but for some reason the website wont let me download the image and I am tooo lazy to screenshot and crop it

Anyways the most nessacary GET I NEED! IS the flipping gorgeous amazing off the shoulder top. Its so GAL! Theres actually a youtube video and instagram post by Toxic Tsukino talking about how Shein is copying Gal brands. But like lowkey how awesome it is to get these looks without selling my soul trying to buy them from shippers in Japan lol! So I really really want that top out of everything on my board before they stop listing them.

another look I hella want is the double pleated denim skirt because

A.)SO NOSTALGIC AND Y2K DJKBNERAFHANHTE

And

B.)I totally have seen saw gyaru youtube videos with old gal use to often wear denim skirts. And I love the older Gal looks!

🌺LEARNING CHINESE 🌺

I want to be better with my chinese language learning. So I am venturing onto a new journey of  

learning 1500

YESSSS this many I know. Id like to focus on really getting to know all these characters very well for a month and then go back to aggressively learning vocabulary and phrases.

Ive never made an explanation on my blog before about this but I thoroughly enjoy taking time to learn chinese and deeply dream of becoming fluent. And maybe hopefully using it to speak to people and travel to China one day.

I know right I am such a weird Gyaru. I am obsessed with a Japanese fashion but want to learn a Chinese language and also I like to watch and listen to Korean entertainment.

Truly a very Global Gal if you ask me honestly 🌺

But yea thats all.
