New gyaru thread, yeah baby!

To start the conversation:
I noticed on Facebook and the secrets that a lot of gyaru are kind of... Slow and airheaded. No doubt Lolitas have such people, but with us it is much more prominent! Why do you suppose that is?

>> No.7460134

Yeah I noticed the same, particularly in the secrets. I'm a loli also and btb might have crazies commenting but at least they can spell and forego emoticons somewhat, as opposed to the "u dun no wut ur tlkin bout lol she a ratchet ho xDD"
I guess gyaru attracts that type of people.

That's because secrets and other posts in the group are made by noobs with shitty attitude. You'll notice that good gals rarely post in those, mostly focusing on their own blogs and friend circles. And I agree, the comments are hilarious:

Even the good gyaru I know are not particularly bright. Not nearly at the level of gyaru secrets (which I prefer to believe are mostly written and commented on by trolls) but they still don't have much going on in their heads other than where to get their next outfit or how to do their nails. I've never met a gal with a university education. If they're studying something it's either fashion or something else related to beauty (hairstyling etc.) and the ones without education beyond high school are in the same dead-end jobs they had as teenagers. They're lovely people but talking to them about anything besides beauty and partying can become really awkward really fast.
Not sure if this goes for all gyaru everywhere, of course. Maybe it's just the ones in my area.

It's probably the same in a lot of cases in Western communities and Japanese. Although it's not a bad thing if they want to study fashion or the like, a university education isn't everything really and doesn't guarantee a well thought out conversation. You just seem a bit snotty though.

>> No.7460390

>>7460365
Of course a university education isn't everything and I'm not suggesting it makes you a better person or whatever, but the gyaru I've met are disproportionally uneducated and airheaded compared to other women their age. They seem to have no interest in anything beyond their appearance and partying and are completely in the dark about world events, even those that affect them directly. I guess I'm just used to alt. fashion girls being more on the awkward nerdy side. With the gyaru I know, it's like Karen from Mean Girls discovered Jfashion. They're very pleasant most of the time.

Well it's a style where the main focus is on styling and a party lifestyle, what else would really be interesting when you spend hours on end on your appearance alone. Of course not everyone is simply into themselves, but gyaru is a perfect outlet for those who are. It just seems where you are you've got a greater amount of that type in your area.

>> No.7460527

My ex-bestfriend (now gyaru) was an incredible intelligent person (also went to college). She grew up in a really wealthy family and they paid everything for her, but despite that, she was really humble.
When she got into gyaru, the little stuck up brat from her emerged and she became a monster. I couldn't cope with all her shit and I let her be a fake bitch. She talked nothing but clothing, shoes, hair, nails, and she even named other girls just to trash-talk about them. It was really tiring.

A couple weeks ago I saw on fb that she's bff with a lot of "gyarus" that she used to call them fat/nigger/ugly/whatever and I was really hapy with the decision of cutting the friendship.

Because of the "lifestyle" that gyaru implies, people become a monster. That's my opinion.

Agree with everything you're saying, Anon.

One of the reasons you don't see much of that behavior in the Lolita comms is because typing like that is actually against the rules due to a huge influx of special snowflakes that joined circa 2007 (look up Annousenka if you want to see some truly hilarious shit). It could also have something to do with age. The gal comms tend to skew younger since most Lolitas can't afford to get into the fashion until their 20s. Obviously, that isn't the case for all 16 year olds and there are plenty of people in their 20s who do it, but if someone's typing like an idiot, they're apt to be younger.

I've also noticed most of the (non-Japanese) gals that are really good don't have much of an online presence these days. I think all the fuckery associated with the online communities ran them off. That's probably why lj and a few of the other comms are flooded with mediocre gals who have bad attitudes. From what I gather, they seem to think that being bitchy and air headed is 'part of the style'.

The 'smart ones' exist, they're probably just being overlooked because our culture has taught us to believe that women (men too, but we're talking about women which is why I mention them specifically) who spend lots of time on their appearance are shallow/vapid. In many cases, they're written off before they're even given a chance; first impressions are hard to change. The ones I've met either present themselves that way as a defense mechanism, get some kind of kick out of violating people's expectations or are completely okay with being dismissed as airheads based on their appearance because they know they're smart and don't have to have 'deep' conversations with anyone to validate themselves.

I like to talk science, literature and art as much as anyone else, but I can enjoy all of those things on my own just fine. There's a time and a place for that kind of thing and it's usually not when I'm hanging out with my friends. And anyway, do you really want to be 'that guy' at the end of the bar who won't shut up about Spinoza? (Protip: If you are 'that guy', you're not fun to have those conversations with because you're too busy trying to prove you're smart to say anything really interesting.)

It's one thing to be proud of your intelligence, but intellectual elitism is just as disgusting as willful ignorance to be honest. People who lord the fact that they have specialized knowledge of certain topics over the heads of others are as much of a waste as the people who think drinking tea makes them better than everyone else. It's fucking leaf water. Get over yourself.

>> No.7464259

There are tons of trollish comments on the thread about her secret, but nothing concrete. She was active in the german comm iirc, and not one german gal has confirmed or denied anything. I really can't say either way. I just hope the rumors aren't true.

I'm hoping she just left Japan (which was where she reportedly was when she posted her last tweet) and stopped posting online. The 'sayonara namida' on her twitter makes more sense in that context. I'm far from an expert, but I've always understood that suicide notes--even to online followers and fans--tend to be less vague than that and say a bit more. It's possible that she left the gal scene all together as well.

I'm good friends with Viivi and she's actually not as bad as people make her out to be. I know most things are about her saying "nigger" and being "realllly racist" on twitter but you don't get that some people are like that in Finland. It's not being racist, it's being politically incorrect because we don't have that big of a culture of protecting others' delicate sensibilities. It's Finland, until a few years ago there weren't as many black people (or any other minorities) here as there are today, and I can say that she most definitely isn't racist, just kinda loud and prone to voicing her opinions online instead of self-censoring. She's also very talkative and confident irl which is not as common in Finns so I can see how someone would interpret it as "being bitchy". Now I think she got used to getting shit on online in anonymous forums and just stopped caring about gyaru drama or being "a tr00 gyaru" so we just try to ignore it too.

She talks about it in a way more informed, logical way than the SJWs on tumblr, that's for sure.

I'm curious, what is on everyone's wish list?

I'm going through a huge overhaul stage right now, so there's a lot of stuff I want, but I don't want to buy too much at once until I get my shit together and clean everything out. I also don't want to buy too much in the way of clothes right now because I'm trying to get fit and my body type is apt to change. This is what I'm planning on getting:

Skincare:
A retinol serum, some antioxidant serum, a mild AHA product like Detclear, a new night time moisturizer and daytime sunscreen. I've been looking at getting a MIA too, but they seem way expensive and a little overhyped. I may just try the 30 dollar Olay one first and see what I think.

Makeup:
Lots of lashes (my collection is looking sad), a better set of brushes and a decent brush cleaner, glittery blue eyeshadow, glittery eyeliner and a decent self-tanner

Extra:
A couple of nail sets, cute shoes, sparkly jewelry, another DIA belt and possibly a wig or two.

I also have to juggle that with the various books, anime, manga and DVDs I want to purchase. Obviously, this is all going to happen over the course of several months. I just have no idea where to start so I wind up not getting anything most of the time. I know I'm going to buy one skincare product a month and I think I'll start with the retinol serum. (I hear Paula's Choice makes a good one).

Oh man, the race wank in the comments for this, what the fuck. Why aren't you allowed to say someone looks like shit if they're black? Black girls don't get some special privilege in internet fashion communities, fuck that noise. If there weren't so many fucking terrible black gyaru, we wouldn't have so many secrets about black girls in the first place.


Also, discussion point. Do you feel that white eyeliner on the waterline (when done well) adds or detracts from an 'authentic' gyaru look? I may just be a weeb, but whenever I do my makeup, I'm trying to emulate the looks I see from my favourite models, and the focus there is usually on a big iris and dramatic lashes rather than seeing a lot of white on the eye. I feel like Western girls putting white on the waterline just makes the eyes look TOO big, so they don't have that cute, dolly, almost sparkly look that Asian girls in big lenses and lashes have.

Just my point of view but white eyeliner actually used to be very popular and I don't really see it with the new gyaru (ViVi, etc) but the 'old school' gyaru like Black Diamond do it so whether you do the white eyeliner or not I guess depends on your tastes towards gyaru in general. Personally, I just went out and bought some whiteish silver glitter eyeliner because I like the trademark white bits. Just doesn't seem right without it since I'm a very old school gyaru/ganguro enthusiast.

Please, no. Just stay away from that term. Just dress how you want (gyaru or gyaru-o) and if anyone asks, just say you're doing tomboy gyaru or gyaru-o. I've seen plenty pictures of gyaru doing a more male-ish look. Pic related, it's tomboyish and still gyaru.

Shit I can't say I've ever had that happen. It might be worth it to contact your local post office, too. I had a delivery guy who would leave a 'no one home' notice on my door--even though everyone was home, he would literally know and run away--so I figured out which post office was dispatching my package, contacted them and asked if I could pick it up.That might be worth a try?

No, I didn't even know you had to, I've never ordered from Rakuten.
Do you just call them up, them them, and then somehow re-order?
Thank you for answering

Yeah, some banks will decline all foreign purchases no matter what. So you have to contact them and they'll open your account for it for a while. Once you've called you can go back and try to re-order what you wanted.
