It depends a lot on the brand. Liz lisa and jesus diamante for instance are pretty well structured but like most Japanese brands does have some trouble with buttons not being sewn on tight enough. Cecil Mcbee is another cute one that comes to mind that has good quality. It's not prada or gucci great but it'll last and not stretch/fade/feel itchy unlike other brands. Ma*rs, la paifait and golds infinity and ones like that however. Good grief! The lace is ichy, stiff and cheap while the fabric is shiny and easily torn. What is garment lining? I bought a brand new $120 jacket from ma*rs when I visited tokyo and it's been worn maybe six times and there's a huge fucking hole in the back where the seams have come apart just from hand washing. inb4 fatty chan I'm 5"2 and 50kg there was no extensive wear on this coat.

I only own one skirt from Liz Lisa but I was a little disappointed with it. The elastic casing on it is ripping and there was a little bit of organza on the bottom that ripped in one stop as well so I had to sew it back down. I've only been handwashing too (it's actually machine wash).

Maybe I'm just too fat for it, haha. What I noticed going around at con flea markets is that a lot of their lacy dresses are completely synthetic and my skin unfortunately hates that, which is why I've been hesitant to buy up all the stuff. I really do like their aesthetic though.

I would put most of what I own (mostly Liz Lisa and Ank Rouge) on par with F21's nicer stuff, probably. Liz Lisa luckypack items, however, are much MUCH lower quality - but when you're paying ¥5000 for a cute bag and 3 clothing items, it's still a good deal imo. Ank Rouge has improved quite a bit in the past year or two (I have items from when they were brand-new, as well as recent items from their fall 2013 collection), but they've also had a price increase in that time.
DreamV is extremely hit or miss - some items are super nice, some not so much, so it's somewhat difficult to compare.

No, no you wouldn't.
As a person she's unbearable. Extremely rude, crass, brash, selfish, arrogant. The type of girl that really enjoys belittling others without being aware that they themselves are actually lacking in the intelligence department. I don't mean that as an insult, she really is actually incredibly dumb, and it's annoying to see somebody this dumb going around calling other people dumb.

She's just extremely irritating and I'm, getting sick of seeing her frying-pan-to-the-face mug all over my YT recommendations.

My closet is 95% Liz Lisa and the rest is a mix of Ank Rouge, Amavel, DreamV, and some miscellaneous stores. My Liz Lisa items are all in pretty good condition. Some sweaters have a bit of pilling and I've had to resew some buttons here and there but it's nothing too drastic. Same goes for Ank Rouge and Amavel.

As for DreamV I have three dresses, two blouses, a bathing suit, bag, and coat. Two of the dresses have linings but the one that doesn't is so thick it really doesn't need one. The blouses are really good quality as well. The bathing suit has a LOT of lace on it which hasn't frayed or anything from me owning for a year with is really nice. The bag and the coat are also really sturdy save for a clip that broke off the bag but that was partially my fault.

I've heard to stay away from the cutesy type items they have and lean more towards the items by Mary Rose (a sub brand of DreamV I guess?). A friend of mine had this tank top and said practically all the lace fell of in the first few washes. The cutesy items are a lot cheaper so they're probably made of shitty quality.

I was teased pretty badly, and have some severe mental health problems. I went through the aggressive near-psychopathic phase. Now I'm at the, "the cat is my only true friend, everyone else wants to hurt me, oh god someone is talking to me help" phase. Trying to calm down and get my head straight, though.

Different people react differently, sure enough, but the more stress you put a person under, the more likely they are to either internalize it or lash out.

Holy shit, what happened to her? Haven't checked her blog in ages and now I see she doesnt even have one anymore but I see some stuff on instagram.

Did she go for the bad girl attitude?

What a shame,she was my fav gyaru. I wish she'd at least kept her blog , she had so many pretty inspiring outfits (which I wish I saved pictures of ). The one you posted is one of my favorites.

And why the hell would someone with a pretty hair color like hers would want to be a bland brunette? Seems to me she went full retard.

Yeah the brunette hair is not a good look for her, especially since that colour seemed to make her skin glow and look more youthful and full of life. Her styling skills seems to have almost downgraded too.

>deletes comment

She's constantly bragging about these imaginary men who are constantly calling her hot, a son and father apparently kept asking where she lived and if she'd go on a date with them, she got married to a Japanese guy she barely knew to get a visa then divorced him, etc.

I tried to like her at first, I really did. Her horrible attitude didn't help.

My best advice is keep looking for a light shade of beige/brown that works for your skin. Maybe even try a mixed pallet of bronzer. For the nose I'd recommend starting a light thin line on both sides of the top edges of your nose and blending down lightly. Add a little white on the top down to the tip of your nose to enhance the effect. Just keep practicing! Watch tutorials on youtube to help get a visual as well. I hope I helped!

The only way I can think to do it is to cover your eyebrows totally (google drag queen tutorials of this, where they use wax or glue and then foundation) and then draw some blonde ones on top.

Cosplayers sometimes paint their eyebrows but pale colours on dark eyebrows is so obvious that you'd look really weird doing it for everyday fashion.

I kind of want to do a metalhead/gothic gal look. Maybe with a bit of oraora tossed in there for good measure (I like dark, simple hair. Also athletic wear for days when I'm feeling super casual).

I was thinking a deep tan + gal makeup and nails +dia belts to go with my wardrobe already full of loads of black, studs spikes, denim and graphic tees with wolves, skeletons, zombies dragons, unicorns and bands on them.

I doubt the community at large would appreciate that though so I'll just keep it to myself.

I dress up every day even if I'm just running errands. It just really depends on the type of person you are. Some people only wear makeup for special events, but others make their life the event. Mundane things can be more fun too if you get dolled up, your confidence and mood raises too!

Here's some more common mistakes newbie (and even some stubborn members of the lj groups make)

>>Mai hair iz already blonde! No need 2 dye it!

Don't fall into this trap. Not all shades of blonde and brown are created equal when it comes to gyaru. Look at hair colors in magazines and imitate those. 90% of western gals I've seen look best with light brown to black hair, anyway. But the principle still stands. If you want to have blonde in your hair, I suggest highlights. Depending on your skintone--and the style you want to wear--you make look good in that silver color that's so popular.

>>Tanning is on its way out. I dun need to tan lol!

This is just my opinion but there's a difference between being pale and being pasty. If your skin looks like it's never seen the sun before, I suggest getting a slight tan just to give yourself a bit of color. This is ESPECIALLY important if you're going to be wearing skimpy clothes. I recommend using one of those gradual tanners that are really subtle. Jergens makes a good one and one of the lotions in their line supposedly has a firming complex. You'll still be pale, just not blindingly so. Again, a lot of people feel differently, but this is just my opinion.

>>Hurr hurr u need to copy the mags exactly to b gal!

Yes and no. Certainly study the magazines since that's one of the best and quickest ways to learn. But understand that not everything is going to apply to you. We had a great discussion about the tendency towards over-contouring in the western comms last time one of these threads popped up.

Know enough about your facial features to know what looks best on your eye/face shape. Take that information and apply it to gyaru makeup. Same goes for body type and clothing. What looks good on an 80 lb. model with very little curves may not look the same on you. Sometimes I think that street snaps provide me with better inspiration than models as there is a wider range of body types.

>>7192068
In general, I have found that Western gyaru look best with the following:

-Light to dark brown/black hair and a handful of other shades
-A slight tan
-Minimal/subtle contouring of the face. Usually contouring the nose slightly between the eyes and brows & a bit of a highlight is enough.
-Naturally shaped brows that aren't over-arched and thin. That, a long with the over-contouring can really make some girls look haggard.
-Pale nudy lips with a high gloss. I have a hard time finding nude lipsticks--either they're too orange for me or not 'nudy' enough. I've personally found Dolly Wink looks best on me.

Again, this is all just my opinion.

Also, I would say the most important thing is the makeup. Particularly the eyes. Circle lenses and falsies (preferably upper and lower, but some gals have only been known to wear upper lashes on casual days) help the most in making you look gyaru. Spiky, cute lashes and long feathery ones are the most popular now.

Hair is next. A lot of Western gyaru default to big curls and lots of volume. If you have a difficult hair type (my friend has really frizzy hair that doesn't hold curl or product) or are having trouble mastering the hair, wear a wig until you get it down pat.

Clothes, imho are the least important. So long as they are trendy and attention-grabbing in one way or another (ie. super girly, flashy d.ia. style, super sophisticated, or rock-inspired),the style itself doesn't matter quite as much.

Don't be afraid to post here. If you're not comfortable posting your whole face, you can just post your eye/nose/whatever you're asking about. Asking about products and doing one of those collages like in the Lolita coord thread helps, too.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

I have a question:
I don't entirely understand gyaru. Aside from the makeup, most of you gals (who aren't hime gyarus, b-gyarus, or any of the other more outlandish styles) seem to be in relatively normal clothes. Is gyaru more about makeup than clothing?
I can understand gyaru in the context of Japan, where most people can't wear what they like on a daily basis, but in countries where most of us have a much less strict dress code, the subculture doesn't make much sense to me.
I guess what I'm asking is: what's the real aim of gyaru? (Aim meaning the look or ideal you're going for, like how lolita supposedly aims for elegance.)
I mean no disrespect. I'm just curious.

>>7192908
>>Is gyaru more about makeup than clothing?
I would definitely argue that this is the case. Though that doesn't mean you should just ignore your clothes. You should still try to look trendy and eye-catching; even some of the plainest gal coordinates I see are a level above the casual wear where I live.

>>in countries where most of us have a much less strict dress code
There's no way that gyaru would fly in most jobs in the US. I don't know about other places. So for us it has to be toned down while we're at work (if we can get away with it, many can't) or done on our own time. I even had to tone it down while I was going to classes in college because a lot of the professors judged students on their looks and I was afraid my grades would suffer. Even though I made high grades and did well, I was still the 'bimbo'.

Besides, the 'subculture' might change from place to place because cultural influences are going to impact how a person views the style. Even within the substyles of gyaru in Japan, the subculture differs slightly. I'm having a hard time articulating this point, so let me know if it's confusing.

>>what's the real aim of gyaru? (Aim meaning the look or ideal you're going for, like how lolita supposedly aims for elegance.)
It varies depending on who you ask (I would assume the same goes for Lolita). In Japan, gyaru started as a rebellion against the Japanese ideal of beauty. Since the West has different ideals, the 'meaning' behind the style changes. One of the reasons I like it is because it's femininity hyper-exaggerated to a ridiculous extreme. And of course for some people, they don't have any aim in mind, they just like the way it looks. Clothes don't really have to have some deep meaning.

>Is gyaru more about makeup than clothing?
Yes and no. You need both to be gyaru, and it's more important in gyaru than lolita to have makeup, but the clothing is more about how you style it than just the brands.

>what's the real aim of gyaru?
To me the "look" is sexy-cute but in a particularly girly and eye-catching way because of makeup/hair.

Talking of gyaru brands, do you guys go in for it? They're more accessible now and there's always the second hand market, but since gal is so trend-oriented, I'm wondering if it will be worth it to drop that much money on something that will be 'out' next season.

The second hand market isn't nearly as good as lolita, but I think there's a decent market for "big" brands like Liz Lisa, Ank Rouge, D.I.A, MA*RS, etc.

It becomes harder to sell the longer you wait after it's released, but it's not impossible.

I mainly buy Liz Lisa stuff and to minimize my expenses, I wait for Time Sales and try not to buy shoes very often which makes shipping more expensive.

Good point.

Mainly, I was interested in getting a few D.I.A belts and tops. So I'll have to rely on the secondhand market since it's tough to get them anywhere else. Then of course there's always DreamV. They seem to be aimed at a younger audience in Japan, but it's easier for most of us to get, so I'll try that.

I'm mainly trying to figure out what I want to spend my money on. I want a bunch of cosmetics, skincare, clothes and shoes because there are a lot of good sales on right now, but I'm on a very tight budget.

She has her own photos on most of the products if you look. And the brand Toyoepin has been reviewed by several gals and they say it's good. I would go for it. They're a pricier than most bulk lashes, but probably better quality.

Also curious about where other gals buy their lashes in bulk. My lash habit is getting to be expensive. I can't seem to find any good ardell demi pixies or diamond lash glamorous/angel eye dupes. Not any of the legendary 10 for a dollar ones, anyway. I've also really been into feathery lashes like pic related for my casual days.

I love the Princess Mimi series. The only color I haven't owned yet is the grey. I'm always wary of blue and grey lenses because I'm worried they won't blend with my eyes naturally. The brown and pink were alright and the almond brown was super, SUPER natural. I'm also a huge fan of the max pure pinks.

Currently, I'm down to my pair of Geo super nudy browns.

Liz Lisa Sizing Anonymous Mon Nov 18 12:39:10 2013 No.7199120

Just a little curious because I've been picking up old Liz Lisa items that are no longer in the online store and was surprised that a free size dress was actually...kind of big on me?

A number of Liz Lisa items seems meant to be worn loosely, or has a fair amount of stretch in it. It really does depend on the specific item though.

I'm a western size (M) and should be out of Liz Lisa's size range, but when I bought their lucky packs, 5 out of the 6 items I received were either loose, stretchy, or both, and I could wear them. The cardigans weren't even tight, I guess they were going for the oversized look. I think I stretched one of the cutsews nearly to the max, but they were still comfortable to wear.

The sixth item was a pair of cotton shorts. The design clearly isn't even skin tight, but there was no stretch in them. Those were definitely too small for me.

She knew what worked for her and what didn't, basically. She wears romantic, girly styles exceptionally well so she really played that up.

So first you should figure out what style works best for your looks/current lifestyle and really work on mastering it. Look at the way girls who wear that style present themselves, right down to their hair, circle lenses and lashes. Then, I would recommend stocking up on some essentials clothes and makeup wise. Use a shopping service to buy cheap auctions or do some shopping on DreamV. Taobao is always an option, too. Use these to buy up recognizable items from that style. Once you have enough of that, start integrating clothes from 'normal' stores into your wardrobe.

For the most part, Liz Lisa is a Japanese size M, like most "one size" stores in Japan, which I would say is roughly equivalent to a US Juniors/teens S-M. Anything with shirring/stretch (which is a good percentage of items) can fit larger, and as >>7201181 said, baggy/loose items are trendy right now, so the range is even greater.
I'm a US Juniors XS and most things from them are too big - those that aren't are still loose and would fit an S for sure.

Ditto! Lately, I really like Sakurina as well as various kuro/oraora gyaru; especially those that have a heavy rock or even goth influence.

They tend to wear more dramatic circle lenses, but I just adore how much the bambi almond ones look like my own eyes.

I think they just aren't used to seeing it possibly? It could be that this kind of goth/gyaru hybrid is not popular in the Western comm. Mode gyaru had the same trouble. They seem to like kuronbo, agejo-ish styles and Liz Lisa inspired looks most. Also, I would ignore the people on gal secrets since 90% of them are just a bunch of people going "OMG U RNT GAL!!11".

>>7203230
I agree! My ideal style is something like this, I think. Or maybe a bit cooler/sexier like pic related. Either way, I really like the goth/gyaru hybrid.

PS. Any advice on what to wear to a concert? I'm going to see Red Fang soon and want to look cute, but also practical. I'm definitely wearing my engineer boots because even though the venue is inside, I'm going to be standing a lot.

I think I've narrowed it down to the Max Gold Black, the Diamond Blacks, the Super Angel Browns and the Bambi Almonds.

I already have the Super Nudy lenses in brown, so I'm thinking of getting rid of one or both of the brown ones here. On the one hand, the Bambi Almonds are my most natural pair, but on the other, the Super Angels are like what Sakurina wears.

It's because she's both a moron and has nothing going for her in life so she defaults on "well i live in japan and speak japanese SO I'M BETTER THAN YOU!!" even though she can't do either well.

From what I recall she married a Japanese guy she barely new to get a visa and then they divorced. She was also dating some other she met at a host club (she worked at one for a while) and he was seriously abusive. She posted an audio file of him beating the shit out of her and then deleted in the next day. It's still on weibo if you go look for it.

Beyond that she used to go to some horseshit international language school (which is why her japanese is awful, because those schools teach out of Japanese textbooks written by Americans) and then got a job working at similar one teaching english.

From her videos, I think she learned Japanese from podcasts and just living there?

She went to an international school after in order to get a student visa and didn't like it because they were teaching "wrong" Japanese or something (her skills were too SUPERIOR for the class!). She made a video complaining about it.

-Nicely styled hair even if it's something basic
-Falsies (gals are partial to certain types)
-Trimmed down brows that are filled in with a gel/powder similar to your hair color
-Subtle contouring and highlighting--whatever fits your face/nose shape best
-Glossy, opaque lip color. Usually nudes and naturals, but some other shades are gal-appropriate as well.

What's on everyone's shopping list? Aside from the circle lenses I've already mentioned, I'm looking for

1. A few pairs of black skinny jeans
2. Winter boots (a pair like pic related, fur boots and/or Lita knockoffs)
3. Winter shirts. Cool long graphic tees with motifs like skeletons, dark fantasy themes, wolves, dragons and unicorns or sexy black shirts
4. A BHA serum and a retinol serum
5. Maybe some lashes.

Am I the only one who sometimes gets preoccupied with weightloss/being thin? Kind of a silly question, I know.

I'm told I'm on the smaller side of average, but I can't help but think about losing x amount of weight/fat even in and out of gyaru. To make matters worse, it seems like the harder I try, the less successful I am. I do about 120 minutes of cardio a week and lift weights for about 30 minutes twice a week on top of that. But my biggest downfall is sweets and carbs.

I don't want to be anywhere near Yumachi or Yun (pic related) level, but I'd like to be skinny. Tanning will make me look thinner too, right?

Yeah some of them look pretty good, but I think some of them are a bit too thin for me. It looks good on Yumachi and the like, but I think I'd look best as a skinny/fit/ so I'm trying to build some muscle definition.

>>7206366
I've cut down on both of them significantly, but I'll still fall off the wagon every now and then. I only try to give myself dessert once a week, but I'll occasionally have dark chocolate kisses more than I should. Those are really the only sweets I keep in the house. Otherwise I'm too tempted.

I have a hard time avoiding temptation, too. Like today my neighbor made some biscuits and gave me some before I went to work so I couldn't resist having one with sugar free jam and one with tupelo honey instead of my usual oatmeal. Then I forgot and had a sandwich for lunch. It was wheat bread, but still. I spent the rest of the day frustrated and mad at myself.

I think that's my other problem. I obsess too much and am really hard on myself when I don't meet my expectations. Sometimes I feel like I'm setting myself up for failure in a way.

>>7206403
Agree. I want to cut back and make better choices, but since I work out a decent amount, I definitely don't want to eliminate them entirely.

>>7206456
Actually, from what I understand, lifting weights is a good way to get 'curvier' so to speak. There was a before and after picture of this girl who started weight lifting and it had her measurements/weight/etc. for both pictures. Her weight was lower and her waist was smaller, but her boobs and hips seemed to have grown. She looked way shaplier.

I forgot to add that she eventually stopped participating in the online communities so much and started doing her own thing. The fact that she and Shiena were posted on gyaru secrets every week (and I'm talking like, half the secrets were about them) might have something to do with it. It got to where they couldn't post anything anywhere without some kind of drama/flamewar starting. If I remember correctly, that is. So I think they got fed up and just quit bothering. It's a shame because they had great style and provided some entertainment on an otherwise boring online community.

Oh god, all this baiting and so many fish biting.

Anyway, getting back on topic.
Regarding a sweet/romantic gyaru, what would you guys consider to be the basics?
I know generally skirts/dresses/frilly tops are the to-go, but do you guys have/had a specific list when you first embarked on this style?

Is it winter where you are? If so, here are my seasonal essentials:
-Light/pastel denim, khakis/other neutral or pale colored pants are a good investment for more casual days.
-Warm stockings to pair with your out of season skirts and shorts to make them last a bit longer.
-A girly coat would be a must, too.
-Cute style-appropriate shoes. Other items seem more easily found than shoes for romantic gyaru.

Otherwise, stock up on floral motifs, crochet items, pieces with cotton lace, ruffle-y basics (be they tops or shorts) and slouchy boyfriend-style tops with a feminine twist. My friend is really into the romantic gyaru look and she's always on the lookout for all the thing I listed. I also like to stock up on makeup so I'm not suddenly out of anything since I have a tendency not to pay attention to those things.

Also, no matter what style of gyaru you wear, it's important to pay attention to seasonal trends. Some stuff that's big for this winter are

-Tartan prints
-Punk stylings
-Pieces inspired by business-wear (pencil skirts, blazers, suits, etc.)
-Oversized outerwear
-Pink. Dusty rose and berry pinks are the biggest parts of this trend.
-Menswear-inspired pieces
-Church-themed clothing (think big yolk collars, religious iconography, crosses and rosaries)

Layering also seems big.

Thanks, I was wondering if everyone else buys the same things as I do and apparently they do...

My problem is like this, I have all the items you listed(except for maybe gyaru-specific shoes) in ridiculous numbers, but every single time that I put on clothes I end up looking like a normal girl with a skirt and OTT makeup for errands.

What am I doing wrong?
Pic related, pretty much what I end up looking as.

gals who live in really cold areas, how do you dress during winter?
Last winter, Finland was cold as a witch's tits and all that could warm me up was a thick shearling coat that made me look like a ghost of ancestors past. Can you even wear gal in that weather?

Also, /r/ing mode/onee coords with no high heels.

Can you link an actual example of what you wear then? You're making us give advice on pictures that 1. don't show how YOU coordinate the clothes 2. what YOU may be doing wrong. Using another person's picture can't help us evaluate you.

To me, if you're going for a romantic/sweet look, an outfit like that is too mature and mode. Romantic and Sweet sort of rely on 'cute' .

Keep your makeup OTT and maybe do your hair to match in big, elegant curls with lots of volume. Or some kind of cute updo depending on how casual you are.

Also, there are ways you can make your outfit more girly/romantic depending on how you style it.

The pieces in the coordinate you posted (I know it's not you in the picture, I'm just using it for example's sake) is comprised of pieces that are all very basic. They're good foundation pieces on their own, but again, plain. One or two items like that are okay in an outfit, but if all of them are like that, nothing stands out.

Think of it this way: the devil's in the details. Romantic gal brands (and Taobao/DreamV knockoffs if it comes to that) often release similar pieces but they're peppered with little details that make it more girly and eye catching. The top might have a lacy yolk collar and the jacket may have cute, decorative buttons or the skirt might be trimmed in embroidery and crochet lace. It's fancy touches like that that really push the romance factor too. Textures (a crochet or cable knit cardigan, shorts with tiered ruffles of lace, that sort of thing) can make an outfit more visually interesting as well.

Also, don't be afraid play with a lighter color palette (again, just going off the example you showed me). That also makes things look girly-er, sweeter and more romantic.

It doesn't get very cold where I live, but I tend to wear skinny jeans+knee high or taller boots and long sleeve tees. I really layer to keep warm. When I'm outside, I wear a warm, fur-trimmed/lined jacket, a slouchy beanie, an infinity scarf and fingerless gloves. All in black of course. I love monochrome in general, but I think it looks especially chic with winterwear.

Pic only semi-related. Looks like it was taken in cold weather, but I imagine those girls froze their little butts off.

Anyone have any examples of a non fitted/slightly baggy shirt being worn cutely? I have a lot of band tees that I think would work great for rock gyaru coordinates, but since they're designed to be 'unisex' they aren't exactly form-fitting.

aha I can imagine! When I visit family that's a little farther north, I try to layer fleece lined leggings/longjohns under my skinny jeans, but sometimes it looks awkward. I highly doubt it would stand up to Finland's cold.

Finland has such a big gyaru community and I've often wondered how they manage to do it during winter. I once saw a picture of Pin wearing nothing but shorts, platform boots (I think) and an Alba Rosa coat when there was snow on the ground.

Hopefully you will figure out a way! I think as long as your hair and makeup are on point, you can get a way with a bit more clothing-wise.

Not everything has to be form-fitting. There are plenty of ora ora and rokku gyaru who wear non-fitted shirts. Some of them wear baggy clothes, period. If you're worried, just see to it that the rest of your outfit is sexy. Wear them with leg-hugging skinny jeans and cool heels.

In fact, I think it looks better sometimes if you chose one or the other: loose top and tight pants or loose pants and tight top. It depends on what you want to accent.

You also have the option of cutting the neck out and/or layering a button up shirt, sweater or jacket over them.

Girl, if that's what 'falling off the wagon' is for you, then you are fine. It's one thing to have dessert a couple of times a week and then and eat bread-y foods twice in the same day.

If you were eating like three bagels at once and having huge bowls of ice cream or big slices of cake every other night, then maybe that's cause for concern. Just keep cutting back and making substitutions and working hard

AND STOP OBSESSING YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT TO SAY THAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK

I recently got diagnosed with the beetus, but before that I used to eat almost exclusively starchy, bready and sweet foods. Thank god for this dumb vegan trend, I'd kill myself if I had to cut sweets out. Ever since the diagnosis I've switched to raw vegan sweets, so if you want some recipes I can link them.

Thanks for the advice! I prefer to show off either my waist/boobs or legs too. I think I have better legs though (I'm sort of a dfc so I don't have anything to 'show off', really) so I usually wind up wearing skinny jeans and a looser top.

>>7210678
Not that same Anon but yes please!

For those wondering about the idiot in here I found this on Gyaru secrets from about a month ago:

"There was this gal who used to make threads on 4chan that basically complained about the number of Lolitas that were showing an interest in gal fashion and how they weren't 'supposed' to be gal or something. At least, that was the main crux of her argument, iirc. She would also bitch about Lolita in general sometimes.

Her posts were hard to follow and almost incoherent at some points, she used really heavy chatspeak, no punctuation and ended almost every sentence with 'ok'.

It was discovered that she was one of those "EW LESBOS GROCE LOL BUT I LUV GAY BOIS!" types of girls. She seriously had something against lesbians and kept insisting that they needed to gtfo gal, so people would post pictures of gyaru posed in sexual ways (a few times straight up porn) to piss her off. It was hilarious.

Based on information she gave us, she is apparently from somewhere in the deep south and in her early/mid twenties. In the last thread she posted, it was discovered that one of the reasons that she was so butthurt towards the Lolita community is because she self-posted in a Lolita myspace group, was given concrit and flounced hard. Then someone, somehow posted her picture (or someone who they suspected to be her) and it was revealed that she was a mediocre wannabe and thoroughly unfortunate. I'm assuming it actually WAS her because she freaked out, deleted the thread and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

It was comedic gold while it lasted."

I think I remember this now.

Okay so far I think I've learnt that:
Hime-Gyaru: is himegyaru, got it.
Hime-Kaji: A toned down look, less costumey.
Hime-Lolita: a princessy lolita look, less gyaru-centric.

Can i refer to both Himegyaru and Himelolita by just 'Hime'? Or is that uninformed and are the two definitely only to be referred to as separate things?

Am I missing anything else?

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 25 22:06:31 2013 No.7211296 >>7211254 This is just me, but I think Hime should not lump together both Himegyaru and Himelolita, since Hime is a style on its own, which is quite different(more revealing) from Himelolita.

one of my friends wants to be a teacher and she dresses gyaru in her free time but fairly tame when she's at work. I'm worried this will impact her reputation? like I feel like most parents would rather find out their kid's teacher is a loli or goth in their free time rather than gal since gyaru tends to have a bad rep as being slutty and easy because of how sexualized it is.

I guess you're right but I dunno. a lot of people seem to think girls who use or wear lots of 'fakery' are air-headed and not to be taken seriously. of course my friend is smart and good at what she does but I'm worried that if someone finds out they won't be able to look past her appearance and judge her wrongly.

with goth or lolita (though maybe the more subdued styles and not sweet) people are more apt to think 'oh she's really eccentric but otherwise intelligent and competent' but with gyaru people will probably say 'why is this woman a teacher?'. she's already had a few people outside of teaching judge her like this and she's just subbing until she gets certified. No one at the schools she works with of course, but people who we met and she's said to them she wants to teach.
