/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>9873592
I’ve been really inspired lately by late ‘90s ganguro and it really screams summer so I’m excited to explore the style.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend the event in Paris but I hope everyone has fun!

>>9873592
90% chance I can go!
If I find roommates.

I really love offshoulder tops this season, and croptops.

>>9873889
I loooove this
I'm totally inspired by 90s ganguro too, can't wait to be tanned again!

>>9873889
pls post more late90s early 2000s ganguro pics anon

This trashy fashion isn't dead yet?
Gyaru should be kinda sexy yet elegant/cute/princessy. None of that "xD i'm picking my nose and piling on orange tan" bullshit. Also in Paris? Dear god. This city is so trashy despite its "city of wuv" reputation. Be careful out there.

>>9874118
Ophelia pls

>>9874118
Wow you really need to tune down your sodium intake, you may get high blood pressure and heart diseases. I suggest eating more tomatos.

>>9874118
>"gyaru shouldn't be piling on orange tan"

>>9874118
>Gyaru should be kinda sexy yet elegant/cute/princessy
Not even a gyaru myself, you're full of shit. Take your bait elsewhere.

>>9874062
I also started tanning finally and it boosts my motivation and mood 10fold!

>>9874224
I'm waiting for the sun to come out already so I can finally tan
I totally agree that gives me a motivation boost lol

Does anyone know whatever happened to Saiharii? She was kind of a big source of inspo for me a few years back, but it looks like she's fallen off the of the earth. Does anyone know of any other black gyaru maybe on instagram or something?

>>9874233
The black gyaru are getting a lot more active again lately:

@solar_bae
@moddedmistress
@yowaseru
@amii.iman
@lovevaani
@tomoe.homoe
@bambi_tan96
@evennetta

And that is just from a 5min scroll in the gaijingyaru tag.

>>9874265
Thank you! I appreciate that you took the time to find all of this.

What glue do you gals use for your presson nails? everything I use seems to fall off if I even slightly bump my nails, or is it just gonna be like that?

>>9874582
I use super glue. It comes off if you soak your hands in the bath and apply a little pressure, it was made for closing wounds so using it on your hands isn't too far fetched. Nail glue is weaker and has a tendency to destroy your nails more.

t. someone who has been wearing long false nails for 6 years

>>9874582
Jumping on this, where do you get your press on nails? I only use double sided tape because I am not allowed long nails at all at work, so I need something that comes off easily rather than staying on. I've been able to find patterned nails fine but I'm wanting deco/3D

>>9874598
ah, I see! Thanks!
>>9874608
I always order my deco nails from Lhouraii’s shop, pic related. Although if you wanna paint your own, usual drug stores carry nail kits in all lengths with like, 100 nails

Posting my new nails!
Anyone else starting to get summer sets done?

hey! just starting out in gyaru and since there's no stupid questions thread, where do yall get your shoes? i prefer to stay away from taobao/aliexpress but if i have to use them i will. im a size 25.0 which makes it harder orz

>>9874582
try buffing your nails and using a dehydrator before gluing, that helps a whole lot (for me atleast)

>>9877742
That heavily depends on what style you’re going for. The quality of both Japanese plastic shoes from China or Chinese plastic shoes from China isn’t that big, except for the prices you pay. I’d advice to check out local gypsy or Turkish shops (depending from where you’re from) as they pretty much hit the gyaru aesthetic with their style

>>9874118
kys
>>9874265
Any japanese or white gyaru to follow?

>>9877742
liz lisa occasionally carries heels/boots in size LL, which usually translates to 25.0-25.5 cm!

on a related note, anyone know what happened to emiiichan? blog's gone inactive, and she seems to be selling off her wardrobe en masse

>>9877742
I buy a lot of shoes at h&m or demonia.

>>9877935
omg are you serious..? not emiiichan.. i wonder if something happened..

>>9874046
If youre in the discord message about roommates -maybe someone can help

Is there going to be gga this year?

>>9878097
I really hope so. I find it really fun to vote for people and hope it's not just the standard girls and there's a bit more variety to the nominations.

>>9878097
Let's hope one of the french see this.

>>9878144
There's much more time to organise this to be fair, it could hypothetically even wait until August though that would be shit. I hope they do lots of categories and don't lump people in together.

>>9878097
I sure hope so
Any idea what categories are relevant this year?

>>9878199
This is just me bullshitting, but if I were organizing it, I'd go with something like these.

If they can, it'd be good if they tried to discourage the same person winning like 5 different awards.

how can i get a black gyaru gf?

>>9878231
No "best newcomer"?

>>9878234
Buy me a full wardrobe.

>>9878291
Sorry, English isn't my first language, I thought "most improved" meant the same thing.

>>9877935
>>9878063
I was wondering the same, she stated on her blog she was going on hiatus but won't say why.

>>9878231
Any names you guys think that will be mentioned?
Feels like there aren't many active gals nowdays to feel all those titles..

>>9878985
Sorry *fill

>>9878985
Kohaku, the Akipoyo girls will win about 20 each, Puya, Lizzie will probably win sweetest gyaru. I doubt they could get more than 2 nominees for agejo but that's never stopped there being gyaruo awards. As long as they get maybe 3 nominations it's worth doing that category I think, it's pretty motivating.

>>9878989
I agree with you anon
If they didn't do agejo category thats not fair even though there are 2-3 agejo gals ib the community.
Also Reina, Shiena, Chris, Chii... There are enough active girls to vote for

>>9878990
That's fair. I wouldn't be surprised if Lizzie won best agejo despite not wearing agejo in ages, I feel like some people in the past have voted without thinking about it too hard.

>>9878994
Lizzie was one of the best agejo imo but I think people should vote for gals who wear it nowdays like Chii or Akipoyo

>>9878231

Not sure how to classify this but can there be like “Most helpful member of gal comm” or “Best gyaru oneechan”? Something for someone who contributes to the comm, think that might encourage people to post on comms more? Y/N?
I was thinking devoted gyaru but not sure if that might be individual thing or not.

>>9879028
Yeah that sounds like a good idea.
Most devoted should be devoted to the comm not devoted to gyaru style
That actually can do good

>>9878989
I'm voting Chii for best agejo this time, nothing against Lizzie but it's time to move on

>>9878985
I believe some will vote for the Velvet girls because they weren't eligable last year.

>>9879030
That would be difficult to judge though... Most girls I know who do a lot for the community do it pretty lowkey.

>>9879088
Even though Chii recently said she's not into agejo as much as she used to be but I guess she might still wear it more then other gals

>>9879169
I can think of at least two girls who I see actively promoting the comm and trying to organize shit all the time. I think most people know someone SUPER dedicated.

>>9879088
Feeling this. Lizzie doesn't wear gal that often and when she does it's onee or maybe rokku.

>>9878231
>>9878985
I'd nominate Innu/Kei for onee, Noy for hime/himekaji, Reina/Chris for tsuyome, Andy/Kohaku for amekaji, Siobhan/Nicole for rokku, Ailsa for manba, Chii/Rachel/Noy for agejo, Gyaransu for most devoted circle and Velvet for most stylish.

>>9879030

That’s what i thought too about devoted gal, pretty sure everyone is devoted to gal in their own styles which is harder to nominate than actually being a devoted member of the comm, which i can think of only few gals who does this.

>>9879360
What if you can only nominate one?

>>9879610 Not op but nominations are different from final votes. All those girls should probably be nominated for something at least.

>>9879632
That is why I asked "What if?".

>>9879948
That would mean less exposure to the more unknown gyaru and no voting

>>9879948
>>9879951
Also kinda coming off like you want that poster to reveal their votes and throw their other suggestions under the bus. Who would you vote for/nominate then?

Lol, here in japan, gyaru are seen as low class trashy sluts. Why would you ever try to emulate that?

>>9878231
>>9879958
Motoko best eye make, Reina best base, Shiena best make, Ramona best hair, Wesley best gyaruo, Tara best gyaruo hair, Mayu best onee, Danielle best hime, Ria best Tsuyome, Georgie best amekaji, Rachel best rokku, Ailsa best oldschool, Chii best agejo, Claudia most improved, Lizzie sweetest, Chris most devoted, Akipoyo most stylish circle, Velvet most devoted.

This is if Gyaransu pulls out to host. And I have only seen Faith, Chris and Reina post nails recently.

>>9879969
Idk why but the western gyaruo I’ve seen so far look even worse than the Ouji you occasionally spot at Lolita meet ups

>>9880073
Ethan’s pretty hot in my opinion. I love gyaruo but I feel like it’s incredibly unflattering 99 times out of 100 and you’d have to be very attractive in a very specific way to pull it off.

>>9881002
Keru is also hot, and Wes used to be cute before he ruined his haircut.

>>9880073
If you ignore his big forehead.

>>9881020

i doubt he’s referring to anyone in gyaransu but the drama whore in me hopes he is and i knew who

>>9881043
I assume it's the venue? But it could be about a member, in which case, I want the tea.

>>9881022
He is the cutest by far.

> tfw you don't have a hot gyaru-o boyfriend.

>>9881043
>>9881052
I mean circle members being fucking useless at helping with events is hardly tea, every circle that tries a big event has that.

>>9882442
tfw you will never be the hot gyaru-o girlfriend

>>9881020
>>9881018
>>9880073
I always thought Wez looked super ugly in pictures, but when I met him at the int meet last year I got a bit of a crush, he's a lot better looking IRL and really sweet and funny. Shame I'm taken or I'd have jumped on that~

>>9883358
As his circle member I agree, not with the crush part but he is a lot more charming in real life, I can understand why he would be the perfect gyaruo boyfriend for sure, >>9882442
hint hint.

Doesn't help that he had 0 decent mirrors in his old place, which made me so sad.

>>9883358
I met two of the ones posted above Ethan and Wes and they both look worse irl. Like Ethan is ok, but idk Wes head looks deformed, which isn’t rly his fault, but makes me wonder why all the gals think he look good. When I see a guy with hair make and other stuff I always tryna imagine how they look w/o any of it. And ew no.

>>9884016
Really? I think he looks good in his everyday style aswell. The pictures he posts when partying.

>>9883667

Didn’t he used to date marta? What happened care to share the tea?

I think wes and ethan aren’t bad, its good enough that we got gyaruo in the comm at least!

>>9878989
>>9879969
Is Lizzie really that sweet? I've never met her so I don't know, and she seems nice on her blogs but she doesn't seem to comment on things very often and doesn't seem the type to submit valentines or anything.

>>9884559
She's really fun and nice and sweet, I met her and I really wish to meet her again

>>9884559
She is! So sweet I had to book a dentist appointment. If you are going to the Paris meet, talk to her.

>>9884399
I thought they got back together

>>9884805
Not anymore.

>>9884559
Irl she is the most wholesome and bubbly person, super super sweet.

>>9881002
not into gyaru but uhhhhhhh
he got a insta?

>>9887213
@ethan_tryce

New valentines are up.

Favourite new egg model.

>>9888139

>>9888139
She's great! Don't know why she only had like 40 followers when I followed her. She's still only got like 300. Where's the love for the oldskool?

>>9888614
Probably since she only started this IG after joining egg, the other girls werre already on IG so they have a few K.

Bumping. Go make a valentine.

>>9891635
I wish Reina could teach Akeem how to do his makeup.

What's the tea about Loveggg?

>>9893555
idk yet, I asked a friend that is on Japan right now to bring me the latest one, I'll post photos when she's back with the mag

Has anyone seen Thelma Aoyama's new music video? I don't like the song but the video is all about Gyaru nostalgia and Para Para!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeHf5BZbNOc

>>9895817
Agreed, the song is shit but I like the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CytBUpNV-k

>>9897492
It feels like when my parapara circle leader cranks the song up to 1.2x speed just to fuck with us.

>>9897492
Is that the girl from BiSh?

>>9897511
Gang parade Yui ga Dokuson

Hey gals, is there anywhere else other than Lhouraii’s shop to buy press on nails? I'm not into her designs, but I still want that gyaru aesthetic

>>9900227
You can ask her to make you a custom set? My friend drew a design and lhouraii made it for her.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBZbI-YbW3Q

Aside from the shitty basemakeup they look cute!

>>9900502
That video is an example of why you don't use powder foundation lol

Is my sense of style going, or is this outfit a mess?

>>9901557
It's meh.

>>9901557
The hat doesn't suit the dress.

>>9901557
The hat does suit the dress, and the shoes don’t suit the dress or hat.

I don’t know what the concept was for this outfit but it’s not working

Why do you think gyaru isn't as popular with new teens as it was 5-10 years ago?

>>9901838
I think it's that gyaru just got older and older. Nowadays, they'd rather look at 20-something Korean pop stars than 30-something Koda Kumi.

Then there's that the definition of 'gyaru' is very loose in this age. One girl can have blonde hair, circle lens, platform boots and false eyelashes and laugh in your face or reminisce if you ask them if they're 'gyaru'.

So I'm guessing there will be no GGA's this year? Gyaransu has said nothing on their event.

>>9901663
I think she's just modelling items for the store, Sugar Rush Tlv

>>9900227
https://www.instagram.com/sweetp.nailart/
These are cute! They're made by Ethan from Gyaransu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeHf5BZbNOc

Anyone else who loves this as much as I do?
It's just perfect

>>9905028
Yes, it's amazing. I love the Namie reference too, especially since she's retiring.

>>9905028
I like the video but the song is meh.

Did yall see that new kokoa circle? Are they gals or cosplayers?

>>9912479
Who? Do you have pictures?

>>9912541

>>9914233
All three look like hot messes. If they’d ditch those Walmart wigs and maybe styled their own hair it’d be a bit better tho.

>>9914233
They are lolita's, what do you expect.

>>9914379
Really? Have only checked the ‚circle‘ account. If they’re Lolitas they must be pretty bad at that too, because those wigs are a nono.

>>9914379
>>9914416
Just checked two of them. An ita and an ageplayer. That’s super disgusting. Just lost all my hope for them.

>>9874582
You gotta commit and get acrylic extensions, anon

>>9914233
Wtf I don't know why people are hating them so much thet look really cute to me
I don't mind the wigs and the makeup is better then a lot of the "real gyarus" in the community

>>9914474
No just no. If you think these look good then I don’t want to know what kind of gal trash has to look bad for you?

GAL is all about to be fashionable. If your wig looks like trash it ruins the whole look. And their makeup doesn’t moonroof bad but it still needs some polishing. But yeah, after seeing their Instagram accounts I lost all hopes

>>9874118
get that shit out of here.
and paris is beautiful.

Is it just me or the community became really boring?
Whos still in the game anyway?

The only gyaru I've ever met was a whore who got kicked out of the venue I was in for being drunk and sexually explicit

>>9914692
It resembles gyaru well, but it looks like a cosplay.

>>9915977
Tbh I see a lot of manba and oldschool lately so that's nice

>>9915979
What a prudish venue

>>9917037
It isn't boring, just not as many as before.

https://youtu.be/3PtRCBZ-EDE

>>9874233
She is so goals! once i get better at make up and hair i hope i can be a Gyaru like her <3

>>9914418
Not an ageplayer, she's actually a minor...

>>9922551
In this day and age, there are minors actively identifying as ageplayers on social media, as well as "adult teens" on kink forums identifying as ageplayers

Where do I find gaijin-hungry gyarus?

>>9925783
Nowhere, we all have tan yellow-fever, now fuck off

Miyu is back. Are you guys as excited as I am for our miss Library to be back?

>>9927198
Miyu is a QUEEN so glad she's back!

>>9927198
WTF, why the hate?

>>9928171
No hate at all.

Any tips for people just getting into the fashion, particularly with amekaji?

>>9928190
What I like about Amekaji is how easily u can coordinate something totally on point using off brand clothes!
What style of amekaji do u like? Can u post a pic?

>>9928780
I really like how fun it looks. Out of everything, I feel like I could wear it confidently which is why I really want to try it out! I have this inspo collage.

>>9928190
As with any style, I recommend looking at scans/magazines/ootdpictures to see "which items have i seen in local stores". may it be denim jeans, colourful sneakers, bomberjacks or colourful t-shirts with prints. and in which case can I diy it (like those patches you see in amekaji)

>>9929151
Acdc rag is also a great source for amekaji clothes

>>9915977
It's not just you, it's not as interested as years before. There's not alot of references either like a safe haven to go for gyaru info only just broken links. I can count on my hands how many are actually "good." I wish the mods on amino gyaru app could help some of the newbs out because half of them look atrocious.

Got my hair done recently and it makes wearing d.i.a. everyday a bit easier
Can’t wait to get layers cut in this week so I can tease it up huge

>>9930209
Acdc rag is also a great source for stolen art and prints, didn't even spare Angelic Pretty's Holy Lantern (pic related).

>>9930518
That doesn’t even look like art theft but more like they bought the same shitty fabric at the same company as AP did. But as gyaru we don’t care too much abt replica desu

Anyone here who hasn't joined the discord yet?

I haven't!

>>9936418
Great. I only know of 2 other true himekajis in the Midwest and hopefully they go so I’m not the only one.
Can’t wait !

>not gyaru but known about it for years
>watched a gyaru make up tutoril
>just want to try it for fun

>>9940434
What's stopping you? You don't need cgl's approval to play around with makeup.

Valentine anon, how many valentines is considered worth posting?

>>9940434
anon, I feel the same way

the gyaru community (if it isn't dead already) where I live is pretty elitist so I don't really have any one to like talk to about tips and stuff

So, I've been a big fan on gyaru style for a while, and I really want to start incorporating it into my wardrobe a lot more, but I'm not really sure of where to start? Do you guys have any favorite stores that sell gyaru clothing? Taobao shops? I currently live in Japan but not near an area where I can easily access places like shibuya109 for clothing, so I'll mostly be trying to shop online for stuff! Thanks for any advice :)

>>9946175
? where do you live that its elitist? never met a comm that gave a shit

>>9946782
Why not 109net shop?

>>9946175
That's why we have the online community, to ask questions.

>>9947042
They don't really have anything that seems to really fit gyaru for me? And most of the stuff I do happen to like is sold out usually lol T_T

>>9947491
It might help more if you shared what brands or styles you like?
If not the brands on 109net, then why not directly from the brand? Not sure why the jump to taobao if you have a ton of options available to ship domestically within the Japan. Seems a little silly?

>>9946782
A lot of brands are still around, also a lot of rakuten shops/brands like black queen, dream V, diable baiser work. Some closet child stores have gyaru items in the "punk&other" section.

I love shopping for secondhand brand on mercari, you can get D.I.A. pieces for 500-1500yen, sometimes with the tag still attached.
In that case the terms "avira pink, dia specs, lip service, skinny lip" etc.

>>9947872
The styles I really like are kogal and amekaji mostly. I say taobao bc my address is not considered domestic, as I live on a military base. So regardless I'm going to have to use a shopping service, so I don't mind purchasing from taobao shops if they have stuff that I like since I have to go through third parties anyway.
>>9947929
I am definitely open to secondhand! The cheaper the better haha. I wish I could shop on mercari but don't they require a japanese bank account in order to purchase? :x I'll give a look at those rekuten shops you mentioned, thank you!!

>>9948404
I wouldn't try mercari alot of shopping services forbid from buying there, there's like only a few that will buy from there. I heard recently alot of shopping services have been having problems with it.The listings are never updated for example, a seller could be inactive or a item could be sold out you would never know.

How do you guys feel about people who wear multiple (j-fashion) styles? Not talking about substyles.

>>9948748
It depends. I do dislike those "cute" lolitas dressing up in the more cool gyaru styles, because they often ignore the personality and lifestyle. But if it is a lolita getting into hime, a decora getting into amekaji or manba, or a visualkei person getting into rokku, the lifestyles match up.

I feel like because I'm shy and reserved I can't be gal. I wear the fashion, I do the make up, I go to meets and do para para, I love dancing and partying, but I'm a naturally quiet person and fairly anxious. Does this make me not gal? Do I have to change my personality to be gal? I struggle so much feeling confident in my style because of this.

>>9948990
If you like to party, that is enough. you don't need to be loud as long as you like to enjoy life.

I feel very alone as a gyaru; there is no circle in my country, there used to be one back in like 2013, but its all dead now. I feel like whenever someone brings this up the answer is always "thats what the online circle is for!" but I really just want to hang out with other gals, its a big part of the culture after all.

>>9950344
What country are you from? You can either post on facebook and discord groups to find other gyaru in your country, or go to the next country over, like a lot of other european gyaru(o) do.

>>9950487
I've been thinking about doing that, but at the same time I'm nervous about it; I feel like with my style, and because I've just started, others might not be as interested in hanging out with me as I am hanging out with them. I'll try to gather courage!

>>9950561
Nobody cares if you're good or bad, everyone can improve. As long as you're a fun person to be around.

>>9950344
we accept almost everyone in our circle, as long as they keep it drama-free, it should be good

Did anyone hear about what happen to shiena?

>>9958910
???

Damn, I feel like leaving the comm again, Nobody's perfect and all that but since I've added some of the girls who I've met at meets on Facebook and Instagram, I'm seeing some strong hints of fucked up behaviors a lot of them share.

When I meet them in person, they're nice and I get along with them and whatever but when they seem to always be around neckbeard online trolling scum all the time you start to ask what they do with their lives to consistently attract that type of attention.

Some of their posts are borderline attention seeking and if I had seen the way they act on Facebook before I met them, I would've thought they were mad, pathetic and not even gone to any meets to begin with because they're literally the glue for my country and involved in everything.

>>9948748
I always wonder why exactly these people always seem to be J-fashion exclusive. It's like they only like all those styles because they're from Japan.

>>9958910
Yeah, but I think enough random people are scolding her already.
She is just being used by the news as a warning. I don't agree with what she has done and she deserves what is happening, but I feel sorry for her none the less.

>>9959130
Omg what happened

>>9959559
http://www.fnn-news.com/sp/news/headlines/articles/CONN00397630.html

Arrested for fraud and soon to be deported. Press F to pay respects.

Hopefully this will be a lesson to all the other weeaboos about overstaying your visa and breaking the law to live your kawaii nipponese dream.

>>9959573
Is it that hard to find an actual marriage partner when you're not butt-ugly? I know she's not conventionally pretty but I still feel like she could have made some incel settle for her really easily. Or did she want the freedom to mess around with guys?

>>9959576
Might be the trauma from her past boyfriends? I would not want to marry suicidal guys like that.

>>9959123
Which country are you from? I feel like I might know the people you’re talking about in which case RIP

I know it’s better to have an actual gal community that’s local but it’s not necessary. You can still live the gal lifestyle while just hanging out with your normie/non-gyaru friends; waccho on twitter doesn’t seem to hang around with other gyaru often

Just join a close online comm or circle and go from there if you long for a gal community to be a part of

>>9959776
I don't feel like I can say because it will be too obvious lol but it's not America (any of them countries) and it's not Israel.

None of my friends even 'know' I'm gyaru. One put two and two together a few years ago when I did a fashion presentation on it but other than that, I just look flashy. They compliment my clothes and make-up choices all the time and ask how I do my make-up (I like tsuyome style). Most 'normies' like similar make-up and things anyway I feel like. All my girl friends wear two sets of eyelashes, fake nails, sexy clothes and etc. Being gyaru is like an upgraded version of how a lot of people in my circles dress.

And to be honest, there's not enough meets for me to feel the need for a group of gyaru. Not to be harsh but I feel like I have a different mindset to most of the people in the comm anyway so while I do like the ones not causing trouble personally, I'd rather splash my money on weed and alcohol with my non-gyaru friends than save up to spend the day with the comm most days.

I actually left the online comm once before because of what I saw online but I convinced myself to go back because it wasn't everyone who was acting a fool and I could've been jumping to conclusions but I'm not the only one noticing these things. That's the only reason I use 4Chan and go through the groups is to make sure I'm not going to meet up with crazy people lol

>>9959924
I'm guessing you're a Brit?
Whatever makes you happy anon.

>>9959928
>I'm guessing you're a Brit?

Well, I am in Europe!

>Whatever makes you happy anon.

That's the most important thing. I love the fashion, the make-up, the models, the magazines, watching gyaru YouTubers firstly.

I feel like a lot of the girls who are turning me off wouldn't see the difference between gyaru and any other J-fashion. More like it's an extension of whatever online anime con bullshit (as in drama) they're used to. They don't just dress the way they dress and keep it moving it's like they're always looking for attention in one of these Japan sub-culture circles.

>>9959939
I agree with you so much. Even though I personally go to cons, I don't see dressing gyaru as a con experience, I am just wearing my regular clothes that's all.

Also I generally don't vibe well with con-only gyaru or people who wear every j-fashion out there because they often have either flakey personalities or are super otaku-like who don't like to party.

>>9959939
>gyaru YouTubers
any in specific you can suggest? I'm super new to gyaru and so anything helps.

>>9959972
There's loads! Mipochi, Yukipoyo who just split from being a duo with Yumachi, all the egg channel stuff, Harutamu, Usatani Paisen, Namuchannel, Poyopoyo, Fxxxking Rabbits and anything Black Diamond because the latest generation are the best generation.

There's a lot of former gyaru who are hit by the revival and are doing gyaru related videos even though they graduated. Yuuri Fukuse is the first person that comes to mind but Mipochi isn't gyaru anymore either.

>>9959996
yukipoyo and yumachi split????

>>9959955
>have either flakey personalities or are super otaku-like who don't like to party

This. Nobody has that 'grit'. That's why they seem to have this idea in their mind that they need to pick a J-fashion of some kind and there's always comparisons between Lolita and Gyaru when they're nothing alike.

>>9960011
Yeah, Yumachi left a week or so ago. They didn't fall out or anything though, she just had other things.

>>9960017
Yeah but then if you like to party too much idiots on 4chan/lolcow will still slag you off for it, see: every expat party girl in Japan.

Seeing all this salt in the thread makes me feel very comfy about having largely left the style now. People are so extra.

>>9960344
That’s true. Don’t know why people who don’t like going out are interested in gyaru in the first place. Then 4chan and lolcow options shouldn’t dictate what you enjoy. 90% of young people go out and do stuff so if some online inbred wants to shame you for it, they’re just bitter cuz they have no social life. How the fuck can you like a streetstyle that is directly associated with circles and clubs and get pressed when you see a girl out living life? Not everybody’s a basement dweller who only leaves the house to go to anime cons.

>>9960344
That is why I don't care to read lolcow.
They shittalk you for being too young, too old, too quiet, too bold, too loud, too sexual, too anything yet the models and IG girls they are following are heavy drinkers, underage drinkers? 14 to 35, sexworkers, extreme loudmouth party people.
Why should I care about some hypocrites opinions?

>>9960351
>>9960355
The funny thing is that 6 months ago in this thread, people would be arguing the opposite just as passionately, that they don't see why they're expected to party and drink just because they're gyaru. Online communities a shit.

What are some good brands of hairspray to use for sujimori? I have been looking into some and not your mothers hairspray has piqued my interest?

>>9960368
I use Got2B Glued, anything strong enough to style wigs with will do you for sujimori.

>>9960367
Same threads different people. All the gyaru I hang out with agree that partying is important.

>>9960370
Just be carefull you don't make them look like those shitty anime wigs.

>>9960351
>>9960355
Lolcow only shittalk you once you go to Japan, hang with the wrong crowd or in some deep shit doing something illegal. The forum basically stalks the old gen gals, since they were the most milky, I hardly see any new gen gals posted there.

>>9960372
It's called knowing how to do your fucking hair, anon. What kind of idiot assumes you can only do one kind of a style with a given product?

>>9960370
Thanks will look into it.

>>9960367
I don't think everyone has to be a party animal to be gyaru but at least not the types to sit online on anonymous websites and slate people down for being 'sluts' because they have a social life.

>>9960371
I hate going out and everything that comes with it. But I like being a lone gal as I’ve massive trust issues anyway due to the former online and irl comm.

>>9961074
>I’ve massive trust issues anyway due to the former online and irl comm

I understand this. Too many of these people start acting vicious behind a keyboard but wouldn't say anything in real life.

What do you mean by irl comm? You mean when you meet people at meets?

>>9875165
these are really bad anon...

>>9961102
I met some people from the comm who acted all nice and friendly and I thought there was a bond between us when I found out they would write horrible things about me AND my family online. Since then I’ve stayed out of any kind of comm, I stick to myself that’s for the best.

>>9961131
Sounds like you just met some psychopaths. Everyone I’ve met has been really nice in person, and online

>>9961172
It was a few years back. Nowadays everyone is a political correct sjw uwu even in the gyaru scene. I don’t know, but in some ways people back then at least were more honest about being shitty people. Nowadays they’ll make secret private groups so you’ll never find out whether they‘re shittalking you, your friends or even your relatives.

>>9961228
Well, speaking as someone who used to be in one of those private groups, it just gets boring ragging on people. No one I know had been apart of that sort of thing in a while, even with the Shiena thing going on.

Well, as long as you’re happy being a loner, I’m glad you’re still in the style

>>9961228
Those "secret groups" were 2011-2015 era. I haven't heard of any such things recently.
The only exclusive groups are circle groupchats.

>>9961307
>Well, as long as you’re happy being a loner, I’m glad you’re still in the style

Seconded, that's the most important thing. Even though I'm the anon who initially mentioned how people were acting mad online, I know at the end of the day that I love gyaru because it's gyaru and it's not some perverse reason like thinking everyone online will want to surround me or thinking that will somehow make me more attractive or interesting to Japanese people. I just like the style and even though I love real life communities (I'm not really an online person lol) and sharing things with people, I don't have to be involved in something toxic like I have no choice.

The thing is, everyone in the comm is just a normal person, not celebrities or icons. We should be in the comm just to have fun and be the best gyaru we can be. But it seems like too many people are motivated by attention from somewhere else and its destroyed us. I see so many gyaru dressing up this way just to get attention from Tumblr, Instagram, cosplayers, wherever. They'll post selfies like "Look! I'm kogyaru today lol What should I do next guys?" But not actually explore the style for themselves.

If we treated the community as just bunch of people sharing the same interest and not a platform to gain notoriety, I think we'd be much better off. Instead, it's just about feeding egos and that's what creates this weird toxic atmosphere - especially in these times where the gaijin gyaru is declining so there's more focus on the few remaining people.

These people need to just look and think about why it is they're gyaru and not some other style or just 'normal'. Why they need to breed all this hate and where their problems stem from. Damn, I sound like a therapist or some shit lol I'll shut up now but I hate seeing this mess when there could be something great.

>>9961862
Your impression of the gaijin gyaru community sounds so outdated to me. I haven't seen those fame seekers since larme got popular, and IF there is someone with that mindset they are gone withon a week because they couldn't handle our critique.

Or maybe I am just spoiled because I am surrounded by girls (and guys) who genuinely love being gyaru, because it's who they are through and through.

>>9961905
>Your impression of the gaijin gyaru community sounds so outdated to me. I haven't seen those fame seekers since larme got popular, and IF there is someone with that mindset they are gone withon a week because they couldn't handle our critique.

I thought so too. When everyone left I thought we'd weeded out some of the drama queens but then I looked at some of the more popular girls who run everything and their attitudes to different things online make me think they just want some attention from outsiders, in the case of one person from cosplayers.

This particular person seems to have a lot of people they've got problems with in the cosplayer community, yet still cosplay nearly every week from their social media and always beef with somebody yet they suggest bringing our meets over to the cons as if to make a point.

Because they have a lot of influence, I know they eventually might have a meet at a con that I won't go to because that would be a toxic environment if there are people at cons as bad as they say.

A while ago on anon I suggested somewhere else and somebody else agreed with me. Then that person commented back disagreeing and it seemed respectful and just like a discussion. Then off anon they went and talked about how some 'dipshit' or something disagreed with them and I thought that was strangely flippant since even on anon, it seemed like a normal disagreement not an argument. It made me wonder how they'd react if we had the same discussion face to face.

I really want to see this Akipoyo thing! Obviously, they look amazing in that documentary. I'm just waiting on the English subs. Somebody said something about them being in the style for 10 years?

>>9963468
Georgie has been into the style since at least 2010, so close to 10 years.

>>9963468
I'm a Hebrew speaker, I can post an English transcript if you guys are interested.

>>9962334
I genuinely have no clue who you're talking about so this must be country-specific drama. Can't you just avoid that person and organise your own meets if you want to meet up?

>>9963657
I would love that!

1/?

:00

-I want this to attract the attention of people, I want to be my happiest self and no one is going to stop me. We

are in our own world. We put makeup on for ourselves, so that our friends from Germany and Holland will see our pictures

and say "Wow, Georgie did such amazing makeup". People are not able to grasp the concept that we do this because we love

it.They think that it's for something, not that it's for fun.

:30 [text reads "Akipoyo Gyarusa"]
-I'm Georgie, I'm 28 years old, I'm a stylist.

-This is Inna, and she's 26, and she's a ????[sorry I couldn't hear it]

-This is Mayu, she's 22 and a makeup artist."

-This is Noy, she's 24 and she designs jewelry."

-Together, we're a group of Gyarus called Akipoyo. Gyaru is a style from Japan, and a lifestyle. It's not just the makeup

or the clothes, it has a whole aesthetic."

1:00

-We're going to put on makeup at McDonald's! Low budget. The most Low Budget. OK.

-[man in background] How come I'm not filmed this way?

-Is~ it~ possible~ for~ everyone~ to~ die~? [lol]

-The reason we do our make up together is because it's less fun, or even less comfortable, to go by yourself with this

makeup. It's like to miss our goal.

-[man] and the goal is to be in a group?

-Yes, it's fun to exclude.

1:30

-Yes, the goal is to exclude.

-Inside of Gyaru, there are a bunch of sub-styles.

-Today, we are specifically wearing a style called Manba. Generally, this makeup was made to enlarge the eyes, but then it

kind of escalated.

-Am I brown enough?

-[man] Wait, what are you listening to? I hear music also.

-This is super eurobeat.

>>9963782

2:00

-The most fun thing is to be manba. It's kind of like we're going to the beach, but we're not actually going. Sitting for

an hour doing your make up in order to become ugly. To break the mask of the woman who is small and gentle in Japan, and

from something beautiful and a mini-fantasy of men, it became something more exaggerated to provoke [?].

2:15

-I've been gyaru for 10 years, but this, manba, which is the style that I'm with today, I've been doing to for a year.

-Stick to my face!

-[man] Do you enjoy shocking people?

-Yes, shock therapy. That's what usually works.

2:30

-I want to be scary. Yes.

-I walk and the streets, and the people are like... scenery to me. I'm not invasive to their environment, they don't have

to invade my environment. Do you undertand?

-Mascara, let's say? Did someone take my mascara?

3:00

-Gyaru have to do para-para. If you don't do it, you're not gyaru. Para para is the dance of the eurobeat. It's like line

dancing [a dance popular in Israel]. Everyone dances alone, but everyone dances in the same way. Very Japanese.

-Yes, very.

-My wish, personally, is there to be more Gyaru in Israel. Because to me, it's wonderful. It gives a lot of confidence, a

lot of bravery.

-[man] A lot of people recoil from you guys.

-So should we get Vodka? And Orange Juice?

-Is Finlandia OK?

-Kanpai!

-It sounds to me a bit more 'by mistake'

-Do you realise what a lack of awareness this looks like?

3:30

-Us, in a way it looks like a joke.

-Most of the 28 year olds that I would tell them "Yeah, I went with my friends to drink on the floor on Rothschild [popular

busy street in Tel-Aviv] with make-up and Eurobeat", they would think I'm crazy!

-That's what's fun for us. That's what's fun for us.

-[old dude on the street] What is this?

-What, they weren't beautiful in your opnion?

-[man] Has there ever been violence?

>>9963784

-Of course there has been. There' a video of it somewhere.

-Someone really troubled her.

- I hit him with my shoe, and after that he hit me back and a bunch of other people joined.

-[man] there's no more vodka.

-It really finished!?

-It's a "safe space".

-You get a feeling of acceptance, and you can do what you really want to do without fear of judgement. We strengthen each

other.

4:15

-10 Shekel! [inb4 jokes]

-Why 10?

-Really, let's do it?

-[man on street] What, do you want 10 Shekel?

-10 Shekel.

-No, then no.

-[at end of para para] I feel like dying!

>>9963782
Georgie here
I appreciate the translation, but I'm just npt sure it's currect
The whole thing is about how I want manba to make other ppl stay away from me
The first line is I have no problem with the fact it's repelling ppl, I want it to repell, I'm gonna be most exaggerated and no one's gonna say other wise

I didn't read the whole transcript so I don't know what the rest says yet

Any straight guys coming to the Paris meet?

>>9965083
Are you that thirsty? There will be both straight guys and water available.

i'm 6'5 but still feel like they would bully me to tears

>>9965251
There are only 2 bullies known on tge whole of black diamond, the rest are nice if you are nice to them.

>>9965256
>2 bullies known on tge whole of black diamond
Those two being?

>>9965280
Harupoyo and Yuyu are said to be really bitchy.

>>9965291
Who said this?

>>9965311
It is common knowledge with BD and Genex members.

>>9965311
>>9965389
And one of the BD gals is a gaijin and friends with a lot of the international gaijin girls like Chris, Shiena etc so she's posted about it before. Plus remember that shit with Haru and Georgie? Georgie did literally nothing wrong lmao

>>9965696
Because Shiena and Chris are such a good source as well as a trans philippina who gets a lot of hate from the other BD gyaru but thinks she’s great because she gets to hang out with them. Actually she took the cow place which delandra used to have

>>9965724
Easy on the salt there anon

>>9965724
Are you seriously talking crap about a 17 year old girl living her life? So sad.

>>9965724
I don't see how the trans bit is relevant but that shows exactly why you don't like her.

>>9965696
>lus remember that shit with Haru and Georgie? Georgie did literally nothing wrong lmao

Don't know anything about that. I've always liked Harupoyo's make-up but if that's how she's acting... Damn...

I know there was a member who was pressed that foreigners were doing gal but I thought that was because of Barbie's antics but of course people are going to pretend somebody can't just be a straight xenophobe.

What about Yuyu? I literally never heard of her until now lol

>>9965855
No clue about Yuyu, but iirc Georgie bought an Alba coat and Haru got super bitchy about how she was copying her... girl it's a gal staple. She's probably never fucking heard of you, calm down.

>>9965855
Yuyu is Harupoyo's bestfriend in BlackDiamond.

There was also talk on twitter about them skipping interviews and (tv) appearances which caused a lot of problems for their manager.

Remember when Harupoyo tweeted about quitting and then suddenly joining again?

>>9965892
First tweet says something along the lines of:
-Eee this surprised me!
Harupoyo-I used it (BlackDiamond) as a tool to making money.

Second tweet:
I tried to tweet on 4/1, but ... I got back in Black Diamond!
What has happened was due to my own misunderstandings and bothersome behaviour. From now on I will do my best whilst regaining what I lost.

>>9965867
>Georgie bought an Alba coat and Haru got super bitchy about how she was copying her

Oh no lmfao How the hell when literally every BD member has one ffs lol

>>9965892

Oh yeah, I think I remember something like that. That sounds flaky but not directly bitchy but if they act like that, I'm surprised she was let back in. It's not like she's Aochan.

>>9965898
Yeah that and also the fact that before bd bought all the alba stuff many western gals had alba coats so if we wanna get technical they were first

Everyone looking forward to this weekend?

I'VE STILL NOT DECIDED ON MY SATURDAY OUTFIT REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What’s up with Kohaku? I understand they’re traveling or whatever but this outfit is just Bad™
She looked so good at all of last year’s meet so I don’t understand the thought process here

>>9971568
Genderconfused?
But I think it doesn’t look as bad as you say. Yes her girl outfits are indeed so much better and I prefer them over this style. But the silhouette of this whole look is pretty clean and well planned. Also thumbs up for the hairstyle, it’s awesome

>>9971732
>Genderconfused?

>>9971568
It's called being a butch lesbian who enjoys dressing masculine sometimes, if it bothers you, you have an open invitation to get the fuck over yourself, redeemable at any venue, anytime.

>>9972195
Also i really cannot demonstrate to you how much more i value my resulting bromance with Wez over the opinion of weak cunts online. Gyaruo bromance is a great thing.

>>9972195
>Sorry that I said that I like this outfit.

>>9972233
>this outfit is just bad
You got some interesting reading skills there anon. Any way, if a gyaru decides to try gyaruo or vice versa, it doesn't mean they're suddenly confused about their gender, they're just trying a different style. Don't get all Fox News about it, we're better than that.

>>9972196
>over the opinion of weak cunts online

Aren't you in France right now? Enjoy yourself and have fun instead of worrying about opinions.

>>9972248
Having a great time, the parapara performance was amazing. The French gals are so lovely and jfc I can't believe how pretty Noemie is irl.

>>9972263
I can't wait to see all the footage!

>>9972265
Our girl Danni is gonna do a vlog of the weekend I think so stay tuned!

>>9972241
I‘m >>9971732
enjoy your time in Paris

>>9972195
>>9972196
You got real defensive about it but I would too if I looked that awful

The top portion is fine, the pants + boots combo is bad for your body type, cry about it

And yes I’m sure you’re having the best time there if you’re actively scrolling through cgl

>>9972309
>I’m sure you’re having the best time there if you’re actively scrolling through cgl
Like literally. I couldn't imagine spending that money to go abroad and an event just to scroll 4chan.

I'm starting to think she's that person who's scaring off some of the newbies. She's always got time for online drama.

>>9972320
>>9972309
Just filmed a 30 strong parapara in front of the eiffel tower while you were sitting on your vendetta posting ass but okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

God that was hell. No speaker, tourists everywhere, camera died halfway through a perfect take. Worth tho, what a moment. I hope parapara videos become an international meet thing, especially if there's somewhere cool to film.

>>9972371
Do you know who is going to upload the video?

>>9972376
Not sure yet but keep an eye on Gyaransu/QueenE/Velvet as i imagine it'll get shared around.

>>9972371
omg when I saw the para para insta story I screamed, I hope you finally managed to get a good take because I'm 200% excited to watch that video! I hope BD sees it too

>>9972455
Yeah we got a good take finally i think, thanks to Danni being a fucking lifesaver with her videocam when the main camera died. Chris's bloodcurdling scream when that happened omg, felt so bad for them

>>9972811
It was a mess, but hopefully worth it.

Gyaruparty Paris 2018: the Delayed and cancelled edition.
Almost all the gals I was talking to got issues with their return trip.

>>9960374
Nah, they stalk anyone these days. Chris isn't producing as much content and these boys are thirsty.

>>9973127
What do you mean with Chris producing content? The last time I saw her posted was with the Zoe drama.

>>9971568
I wasn’t very impressed with Kohaku’s looks this weekend, same with Rachel actually.

They don’t seem open to concrit at all though so I just kept my thoughts to myself. They’re definitely the worst dressed in their circle.

Danielle was such a sweetheart, I was so happy to meet her!

>>9973175
I really don't get this mindset that people have a duty to impress others with how they dress. I saw plenty of people this weekend who I personally felt looked crap, but they're dressing for themselves, not me, so why make a big deal of it? Dressing for others really isn't the point of gyaru.

>>9973175
Rachel's literally always open to concrit, stop making up complete bullshit for the sake of having something to talk about. She looked great too, in that one outfit she wore that one day she was at the meet, yet you wanna talk about her 'looks this weekend'? You're not good at this are you.

>>9973175
They do take concrit seriously as long as you're not an asshole about it.
Talking from exoerience, Rachel even let me take makeup remover to her face.

>>9973203
Seconded. I'm someone she's come to a lot for advice and she's always taken it. Don't be surprised people aren't interested in the opinions of cunty people.

>>9973200
>>9973203
My “they” was pointed towards Kohaku
I just didn’t like Rachel’s outfit

Let’s not pretend that we are not “dressing for others” at this event? Why were we all posting about not knowing what to wear if the point wasn’t to impress our friends with our best looks.

>>9973221
Samefag but I don’t know how Kohaku likes to be addressed so I just chose “they”

>>9973221
Honest answer? I dressed up to impress my friends and myself, not an anon.

>>9973225
I'm a she, always have been. And I take concrit very well I'd say- from people I look up to, who are good at the style. People like Chris, Georgie, Kei, Lizzie, Noemie, there's a lot and I'd forget someone if I tried to list them all. There's not an entry on the list for 'Anonymous' because you don't get to influence me if I don't know who the fuck you are and why I should listen to you. If you dress well, you've got every right to give me pointers. But somehow I think if you dressed well enough for me to listen to you, you wouldn't need to say it here.

Anyway, that is genuinely, actually, excluding unforeseen circumstances involving weed and verbal diarrea, the last I have to say on the matter on here. Just leave my circle out of it, don't talk shit about them just because you don't like me. That's some highschool shit.

Some positivity:
I thought a lot of girls were really cute! Meeting Akipoyo was one of my favourite things this weekend because they were all so nice and super pretty! Amazing outfits!

The Gyaransu girls were all so sweet, and some were crazy in a good way, especially Puya.

Queen E were also the life of the party, can't wait for Danielle's vlog!

Velvet were all so fun! I enjoyed the parapara events alot!

All the other girls who came were nice and encouraging. I hope the newer girls feel at easy and motivated to continue.

This event really restored my motivation!

>>9973221
hi! Rachel here, what didn't you like about my outfit? I don't wear full agejo a lot so crit is useful, I'm not sure where I've ever openly been against concrit since I take crits to heart and apply them heavily to my look so if you have some examples of where I've been bad about them I'd like to see!

In fact let's go field day, here's my look from the weekend! I was happy with all of it except my lashes not being visible enough (didn't realise I need bigger lowers and didn't curl my uppers enough to stand out against black shadow) and maybe need more accessories!

>>9973673
also if the concrit thing was addressed to Kohaku, you've just never really bothered to talk to her probably

When we get ready we're forever asking each other to tell us what's wrong with our looks and how to fix them- my assumption is you've never interacted with us real life and are basing all this on your presumptions on how people type on line which isn't too smart as it's the smallest indication of how a person is, but regardless I've only seen like one person in the community be defensive about concrit online in the last few months and that was a total newbie who was probably over whelmed so...yeah!

positive front there wasn't a look I disliked this entire weekend, everyone really pulled their a game, and there was so much ma*rs- I was in heaven ! Last int meet had loads of tsuyome, this time was the time of the agejo and old school! Wonder what everyone will be feeling next year- gaijin trends are so fun to follow

>>9973680
Seconded. The whole saturday morning at our apartment was just 'ahh this doesn't look right AHHH WHY DOESN'T IT LOOK RIGHT CHRIS FIX MY HAIR' from all angles. God bless Chris they are a gem

>>9973673
I’m not OP but I know what OP means. The outfit is pretty nice, but wtf are these socks? They don’t match the coord at all. Everything else is super nice. Hair, make and shoes are super on point

>>9973684
My ideal would've been some mars style hold up tights, sadly I wasn't even planning on wearing this look until the day before when I got the new top and realised it was way too hot for my long sleeve hoodie dress look haha- I agree they're 1000% not my ideal, next time I do an agejo look with this stuff I'm gonna diy some mars stockings for my fat ass leggies! Thank you ~

Really unflattering cut on her body type too

I wished Ethan had worn his Sunday outfit on the Saturday, then he would have been "best dressed Gyaruo 2018".

>>9973852
I didn't like either much, but then I really hate shorts in gyaruo, I really prefer the sexier host-inspired look like Wesley does.

Can we take a moment to talk about HOW FUCKING NICE GEORGIE AND THE AKIPOYO GIRLS ARE. Like can we just drag Israel over to Europe real quick and adopt them. They're so lovely.

>>9973853
I can understand wearing shorts in that weather.

And I wish I could see them more often!

>>9973855
Oh yeah for sure, I bet he was comfy af, I just really like the more mature looks. Don't get me wrong, he still looked great, just not my taste.

I'd like to see more gyaruo desu, kinda feel bad for Wes and Ethan being the only ones left. I'm trying to get a male friend into it and he seems keen.

On the topic of others outfits, what were your favourite looks of this past weekend?

Mine were Georgies and Mayu's saturday looks, Nelly's saturday was also really cute, Rachel if she lost the socks, and Noy's Sunday look when she wore Chris's hat.
Vani was also a close favourite.

>>9973867
Vani's outfits are really cute, but maybe it's just me, her make up looks underwhelming when it's with everything else? With the big hime hair and coord she could get away with more dramatic make up and I think it ends up making her make up look non-existent.

>>9973897
Ithink Vani is one of the most beautiful girls I ever seen like forreal
She looked way more perfect irl

>>9973897
Part of it is her skincolour. Darker skinned girls need to put more effort into their base for it to stand out.
Same for tattoos. Black linework doesn't stand out and colours aren't as bright on darkskin, but it is very obvious on lightskin.
Black eyeliner and lashes can blend in on darkskin whereas the tiniest eyelinerwing will stand out on a pale person.

>>9973867
Nelly and Chris Saturday, Georgie and Noy Sunday

I'm curious to know if anyone looked different irl

>>9974052
Noemie was even prettier if you can believe it

>>9974052
To me everyone that I knew looked exactly the same. Nelly looked better than her twitter profile picture, but that was the only picture I had seen of her prior so I can't judge.

>>9974052
Seconding Noemie's unbelievable gorgeousness. Wes looks a lot better in person, he needs to find a new selfie angle that doesn't give him a 5head. Georgie is exactly like her pics, so perfect she doesnt look real. I think the biggest surprise for me was how TINY Noy is- she can't be over 5ft, it's adorable.

>>9974360
Seeing Chris's pictures with Noy makes you wonder if one is a giant or the other is just tiny.

>>9974521
Both

>>9974521

I can't wait until this thread is dead so I can stop seeing OP's disgusting image in the catalog

>>9974606
Girls, let's keep it going just to annoy anon.

>>9974052
Many girls were prettier in person
That surprised me
Noemie is one, like anon said before, but also Ria, Ailsa, Inna, Nelly and many of them are serious beauties
Oh and Chris is a goddess

>>9974606
Why not hide it?

>>9974701
Ailsa looked SO gorgeous, can't believe how much weight she's lost. Her tan is perfection too. Ty for the reminder to add her to my valentines this week

Hi weebs, any music recommendations?

>>9974052
All the akipoyo girls and especially Noy are smaller irl
Also Kohaku and Rachel looks really good but then again they look great in photos too

>>9974521
>>9974537
Noy is really petite and Chris is like 5'10 and was also wearing massive platforms.

>>9975228
5'7-5'8 to be exact.

Any thoughts of the para para video?

>>9977599
Pontsuyo said it was a high level performance, so if even the manager gives praise, I am content.

>>9977599
Honestly with all the trouble it took to film, just having any video at all is wonderful.

>>9965256
There was actually 3 in all but Delandra is gone she bullied that demi girl I think.

>>9978247
Delandra bullied Demi? I need to hear more about this!

>>9978254
It was demi or the other chick who speaks english I get them mix up alot. The girl she bullied worked in the ganguro cafe with her to serve American tourist. Delandra did something, the girl couldn't take it anymore and just stop showing up to work.

as long as you're having fun it doesn't matter what other people think. I've been wearing gyaru makeup for 7+ years and it's still not easy to get right, sometimes you have to just accept that that you didn't hit the mark that day and just enjoy it while you can.

>>9972233
I don't care to get involved in any toxic shit in general but why do people feel entitled to giving opnions, esp when they're mean and unnecessary?

I hate it when someone says something judgmental or insensitive then tries to pretend that people's negative responses are unwarranted.

Don't be a dick and people won't get angry.

>>9978671
100% agree with you there anon.

>>9978664
I seen some gals do it longer and still don’t get it right.

Is it me or does lizzie’s latest post about wanting to be the best gyaru feels a bit weird to read? As if you realised she wasn’t all that “sweet” person you thought she was.

>>9979164
Having ambition makes you a bitch now?

Someone post pics of the paris meet everyone looked so gorgeous.

>>9979164
Even purehearted people can be competitive and hard on themselves.

>>9979164
A lot of people I know who are genuinely sweet are struggling with a competitive nature and it makes them almost over compensate? Not that they aren't nice people anyway, but because they are so competitive and subconsciously want to effectively "beat" everyone else they feel guilty and try and suppress it as much as possible.
