>>8847733
Cute, I love the old school bright colour manba feel
If I were to "improve" it to make it more old school a matte foundation and slightly larger droop and lash would be better
But I really like it as a whole and her own look
>>8847733
Seeing this just makes me nostalgic for the old manba days where it was all tropical looks and wandering the streets in bright colors and dyed hair.
>tfw I'm a pale ginger who can't even artificial tan more than two shades
Always wanted to look like a gyaru because they looked like they had so much fun and I was always wanting that group of friends.
>>8847733
I like it pretty much, but I also feel sad that her video gets more likes than dislikes just because she's so kawaii and if a kawaii person does it for fun it's ok, but if people like the BD members do their makeup it's pure evil and racism much and what not.
>>8848064
you could easily just go shiro, shiro is like all about super pale skin even if its kinda rare, as long as you can contour well for your shade it doesnt matter
Is Gyaru dead (at least in the West)
>>8854791
Yes
La pafait anon here. Package is going to be here either tomorrow or Wednesday. Review will follow! I'm going to be so kawaii.
>>8854791
It still lives on in different forms and different names. Agejo isn't really dead and hime gyaru has stayed alive well. Kuro gyaru is still a thing too.
Anyone have any suggestions for the best sugimori wig? I know priscila is good but is it really good for the price or are there cheaper options?
>>8854791
it's not as big as it used to be but there are still circles, and comms, in fact i have two meets in the next two months
i wear a mix of rokku and kuro
>>8854853
Who do you follow for rokku inspiration? I've been looking for some stuff to follow as I'm just starting to get into the style after losing some weight.
>>8854802
the most exciting time of the day has finally arrived. i'll be posting a written review here now and a more thorough formal review later on!
>>8855784
reminder of items that i ordered. posting reviews by number in pic.
>>8855812
Part 1~
1. Black and pink sleeveless OP: Fully lined, seems well made. Lace and tulle surprisingly soft. Matches picture well. Shirring in back, with side zipper and clasp. Very comfy and super cute! 10/10
2. White/pink bolero: Nice and soft like the OP, fairly well made, lace is a bit off in the front, not too noticeable. Exactly like picture. Lace around bows is a different shade than edging lace, but not that noticeable. Very stretchy. Has a heart button with LP brand name on it as on a few other things I own. 8/10 for the color difference.
3. Pink OP: Fancy material, fully lined(lining is a totally different tone of pink) Well made. Tulle is very scratchy(hopefully will soften in wash) Very cute, exactly like picture. Back zipper, no shirring, fits well. 6/10 for the tulle itching.
4. White bow cutsew: I was sent the pink instead of white. It's okay, but I'm still kind of disappointed. Well made, lace is slightly scratchy. Looks like picture(only pink with white bows) Long and comfy. 4/10 unhappy about the color but item itself is 8/10 I can atleast wear it.
>>8855852
Part 2~
5. Pink lacy purse: I was sent the wrong purse here too. I received the boston bag style instead of square one. It looks almost the same, pink with the same design style. Fairly well made, with a bit of glue strings in some areas. Cute and roomy. 6/10 for glue and wrong style.
6. Black gingham OP: Very cute! Super nice soft material, lace, lining etc. Bows are removable. Exactly like picture. Side zipper with back shirring and a waist tie(like lolita) probably second fave piece. 10/10
7. Bow clip set: This set matches the pink OP well(hopefully I will wear it) seems well made, looks better than picture. Rose, small bow and pearl chain are removable from the larger bow, rose is also 2-way. Seems well made with no glue or anything. Bit large and heavy but no issue with that on my end. 10/10
8. Black and pink cutsew: Very disappointed in this. Bottom lace, and sleeve lace are not stretchy, very difficult to put on, as well as bright pink while bows are lighter. Lace is not soft and top is fairly uncomfortable. Sleeves remove easily with buttons, bows are not removable. 4/10 for annoying lace. I will likely get the lace replaced so I can wear it properly.
9: White and pink arm warmers: Fairly well made, some glue and loose threads. Cute and comfortable. LP brand bows are used which makes it nice. Very stretchy and soft. 10/10
I have quite a number of tops and outfits from the lucky pack that I thought was only accessories! I will see if I can find pics or take pics of them and review later.
All in all, brand is somewhat inconsistent. You are likely paying for the brand name rather than quality, but it is a very unique brand. 7/10 over all for some screw ups and inconsistencies. Buy second hand perhaps if you are worried for quality, that way you get more of what you pay for. I will continue to buy from them regardless.
>>8854810
I heard oneegyaru is the only one still alive in Shibuya.
>>8856250
I will probably buy new 4, not 5 though probably. I actually like this one better honestly. Pics coming soon!
>>8856250
Also, as far as my lucky pack. I got 2 pairs of shoes, one very cute jean OP, 2 black x pink cutsew shirts and for accessories, 3 headbows, pink, 2 with prints(their candy print and perfume one) 1 is a perfect match to one of the cutsews, a deco'd out my melody pin, a set of knit arm warmers, a necklace and a somewhat endearing cat head charm with lace along the bottom of it. As I said I will also post some pics.
>>8855047
Not the anon you replied to, but I have the same problem. There are like 100 photos of rokku gyaru and that's it. I have look EVERYWHERE but theres always the same photos
You can look on ebay, but they are more visual k than rokku.
>>8858760
I saw a lot of gyaru when I went to Osaka, I'd usually see a handful of different girls every day in the trendy areas of the city. Mostly onee gals, but I saw a few tsuyome and ora ora gals too.
>>8858870
I wish I could do ora ora but it's pretty hard when you aren't stick thing because it tends to end up looking super basic haha
What do you guys think of the new Gal Valentines FB group? I think it's pretty stupid to have it in a closed group versus a public like page
A UK gal made this interactive map so that gyaru around the world can find each other easily! If you are interested you can add your location and SNS here
https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1851996&item=103023848
There're also a lot of gals around nagoya and fukuoka as far as I know. As well as in the surrounding areas of Tokyo aka Saitama, Chiba etc but not in Tokyo itself
>>8855047
mainly re:no and old sakurina
I have a few friends who wear rokku in my local scene that I adore to follow, but mainly i just look at models for rokku style brands like glavil etc
I also like to throw a bit of kuro/tsuyomme in so i look at the punkier side of that for inspo as well
>>8859031
The original g_v mods made a page for it. Who the fuck were the admins of that group one anyway? Literally never heard of either of them and to be honest they both look like shit.
As for ora ora, do you read Soul Sister? That's the go-to ora ora magazine and there's girls with all kinds of body types in there. Lots of thick thighs and stuff.
>>8859661
i'd heard of one of them before, but I didn't realise you had to be known to make a group
They look totally acceptable to me
>>8859661
I should probably download some scans it's just hard because I literally have a 40 inch hip so most things lay very differently and give a completely different look
>>8859878
They honestly look extremely mediocre but they just have shitty attitudes. I was submitting a valentine and they told me I couldn't because they didn't like the person it was about. How can you run a group like that but pick and choose who can and cannot have valentine's posted about them? I'm so glad the original mods made their own page.
>>8859917
weird, haven't seen any one talk about that yet. don't get why you'd say they look like shit if they look mediocre though.
>>8859878
To make a group based on a big part of international gal culture and just take it over as if it were your idea? Uh yeah, you kinda have to be established to do that. It's just not newbie territory, especially if it's someone so new they think 'gyarus' is a thing.
>>8859925
That was two different people, anon.
Hi Rachel :)
>>8859962
Nah, it had recently been handed over to new mods, who were already planning a new FB page. Just a couple of nobodies decided to jump the shark.
>>8859973
Ohhhh I see, that's pretty shitty timing of them lmao (the group gals not the originals)
>>8859976
Yeah, ikr. I guess they probably didn't know, but I would have thought it was obvious not to just yoink an established thing like that without poking the mods to see whether it was actually dead. Oh well, noobs gonna noob I guess. I hope the new page gets a good following, submitting valentines over FB is SO much easier. I already submitted a whole bunch to help get it going.
>>8859976
Pretty much. I mean it was nice people still give a shit but it works better as a page. Dont need two of them
Lmao lolitas tryna take over gal
>>8859979
How could they not have known though? Secrets and Valentines are like the first things you learn of when discovering the gaijin gal comm. I think they just wanted a quick road to popularity but it's going to end up biting them in the ass.
>>8859991
This sounds entirely possible. Christ when will bitches learn that internet fame is entirely worthless.
...yeah, I'm aware of the irony of saying this on /cgl/.
I knew of these pages but who the fuck uses livejournal anymore? surprised they didn't have a Facebook page for them sooner.
>>8856199
actually, my japanese friends say they see rokku a lot more often!
>>8857742
as long as you have a feel for alternative fashion and know gal basics, rokku outfits are pretty easy (but it can egt a bit mixed with goshikku pretty easily)
>>8859962
nobody was submitting anymore? Didn't surprise me as livejournal is outdated as fuck anyways
>>8859986
Lolitas haven't cared about gyaru anymore than they have in the past. Gyaru's themselves let the style die.
>>8859973
A couple of nobodies who kept self-posting themselves and each other
>>8860241
and then deleted the whole group because one got called ugly, good riddance
>>8860217
Gyaru styles can honestly get so confusing, especially with other jfash styles. Shibuya used to be the core, now what's happened? Where's the best place to buy/learn about gyaru?
>>8860320
Id say for rokku, the brands gladnews and ghost of harlem are still going strong, for inspo I look at RE:NO, Jojo (jojo evilchocobunny) and normal goth/alternative fashion icons. Make it slightly more "cute sexy" or "cool" to fit the gyaru look, add the hair and makeup (look at mando, jojo, xin for western inspo, or their friends) and you are pretty much good to go
Does anyone know what happened to GalVIP Magazine? They deleted all their pages
>>8860392
They ceased publication because I guess the girl who started it originally wanted it back. Oh well lol
Someone is supposed to be starting a new gaijin mag, but I haven't heard of it past the concept
>>8860732
its obviously self-post. They're both ugly and haven't done anything worth noting. So why were 90% of the valentines about one or the other?
What is the state of hime gyaru right now? (Not hime-kaji stuff like Liz Lisa.) Is Jesus Diamante still doing okay and other hime gyaru brands?
>>8860779
Mhm, I wouldn't really call either of them ugly myself, they just completely suck at gal. But yeah that sounds like some mad selfpost. How pathetic. O well, they can rot in their irrelevance now that we have a proper gv Facebook page.
>>8860821
La Parfait -all shops closed, maybe still a webstore. Jesus- closed most stores, image changed
>>8860821
I haven't really seen it in years, everyone is doing tsuyome, agejo, rokku and onee but that has always been the older generation.
>>8860831
Hime died, the only thing you can do is buying overprized ruby rose accessories and maybe some of the alternative stuff ap and btssb are making
>>8860576
Ah okay, thank you for your answer!
>gyaru
>>8862064
Me in the future...hopefully
>>8862888
>in the future...hopefully
Do it! A friend and I are wearing it tomorrow! Its tge best <3 so sad I can't wear it everyday

>>8863037
Yamanba is my all time fav.
But I'm 1) scared of dumb people thinking it's balckface
2) I can't find foundation darker than orange and since I can't wear it everyday but would only do it for fun I don't want to spend like 20$ on some color
>>8863875
Are you not looking at foundations for black people at all? Also idk if you're willing to but I find darker shades apply a bit better if you fake(or real I guess) tan, reduces the obvious streaking and face paint effect
>>8863875
Maybe try to mix a bit of your foundation with darker pigment (the cheapest option, but may not work well) or look into pro ranges (probably investment, but at least will work).
>>8863875
if people think its black face, educate them, just say "no, It's actually based on a japanese fashionstyle that goed against the beautystandard "pale is beautiful", it's not blackface"
>>8864308
Depends on where you live but my country doesn't sell black girl foundation cause we dont really have black people.
>>8864354
Since its not to match your skin, internet?
>>8860821
himena still models for primelo but also ma*rs. la pafait only has a webshop now and jesus diamante has started catering more to old rich bitches and less hime gyaru, tho it still has a lot of stuff. 2nd hand market is really good though.
I only recently got into gyaru, but pretty much Ma*rs and DIA stuff. What style would that be?
>>8868197
Mars is (or used to be) agejo
D.i.a could be anything from tsuyome, kuro, oraora, ane ect, depending on how you coordinate it
its 2016. ppl still do this?
>>8868544
baka senpai
>>8868642
ok but consider this: it's 2016
>>8868697
it's evolved overtime to fit in with modern things but yes there are still people doing the old school gyaru styles
>>8872218
Last week some people posted it on facebook as well
>>8873485
Yeah, Chris and Zoe, they looked great. Nice to see people making a proper effort with the older styles when you usually only see the gross crust creatures like Haru in it.
Is it true that Harutamu fucked up her nose? I've heard some rumors and she's only posted recycled selfies or photos in which her nose hasn't been visible at all.
Has La Pafait always looked so... cheap?
I'm getting into himegyaru but I don't know whether their quality is as good as I initially thought
>Pic related is from their online shop
>>8860821
I'm honestly not surprised that hime died. I know j-fashion can be pricey, but anything I got from La Pafait or JD was really mediocre quality. Thankfully I paid very little for them second hand, but they weren't worth a fraction of their retail price.
I'm no poorfag, I'll spend big for something if I like it, but it honestly just wasn't worth it.
>>8874550
It looks like someone's first lolita sewing project, holy shit.
> finally making enough money to start gal
> check lg, most comms seem dead, hardly any secret posts compared to six years ago (when I discovered it)
> the fashion I've admired from afar for so long seems dead
Hopefully there will be a revival at some point. I really love rokku.
>>8874559
Hime brands where really overpriced. I once wanted to buy a semi big hair clip at la pafait as some kind of a souvenir. I first checked the quality and everything was just hot glued together and then I saw the price tag and it was like 50$ and was like 'nope, bye'
>>8874936
then just wear it, anon.
>>8875647
it's agejo, himekaji isn't really even gyaru...also otome? what?? what are you on about? we don't need more style jumpers...
>>8875653
Really? Thanks. Then the blog post I read about himekaji was wrong too, figures. Sorry about that.
>also otome? what?? what are you on about? we don't need more style jumpers...
Don't worry, I'm not jumping. I'm still doing research and trying to find a style I like and taking notes before I even purchase a piece of clothing.
>>8875156
I'll still wear it, but the best part of jfash to me is the feeling of community. It feels like the gal community is fading out.
>>8875673
It's true though, himekaji is a substyle but it's so watered down that it can't really be considered as gyaru. Maybe you could look up agejo and himegyaru, if you're more into the cuter looks
>>8874936
Why do you base the activety of the style from gyaru secrets? That is so stupid. And the only way to revive it is by wearing it, buy the clothes, wear it, be the one to help revive the style.
>>8876179
Hell yeah anon I was just about comment that same thing
>>8876179
Yep. I feel like this is kind of a lolita problem- people see that there isn't a big social aspect to it and 'go, gyaru's dead', but gal's never really been like that in the first place. Wear the style for you, not for other people. If you inspire someone you know, hey presto, there you are reviving the style.
>>8876179
You're right. Maybe I'm just used to certain communities being more readily available. I'll just learn what I can and rock it. Thank you, anonymous poster. You actually took away a lot of the iffy feelings I was having.
>>8876927
and instead of looking at the secrets he valentine page is going pretty well righ
Question for fellow gals; are there makeup resources out there for people with big noses? My nose is ungodly long and prominent from my face in the outwards direction, but narrow. A lot of the makeup tutorials I see (and really the natural progression of the contouring in general) involves making the nose more defined, but for me my nose is plenty goddamn defined already and if anything I need to make it slightly less so. (For those of you who know lolita, LovelyLor is basically a doppleganger for me, only my nose is slightly less thick, especially at the bottom.)
I am aware that I'm an ugly horseface but I really love gyaru and I want to make it work for me.
>>8878814
I'll be honest with you, I think most gals with big noses just go get surgery in Korea. People in the comm are pretty casual about getting work done. It almost makes me wish I had image issues because man, surgery holidays sound exciting.
>>8878814
I'd still contour but stop the highlight before the tip of your nose and use the darker shade on the tip, depending on the width of your nose you could bring the dark contour in slightly and also highlight your cheeks right up to the edge of your nose. I wouldn't do everything like the pic on the right but I think it's got a decent idea of where to contour your nose, I kinda drew on Lor to give an idea of which bits would be ok to contour. I don't think you should be trying to make your face longer or make your jaw more angular, so I would skip the edge of face contouring. The only reason I included the cheekbone contouring was because you could create a more horizontal line with it and make the face slightly wider at that point.
What types of shoes can you wear for kurogal? I've just started out and wondering what I could get for everyday, so no crazy heels or anything...
>>8878917
Crocs are the go-to comfy shoe for kurogal and tsuyome, believe it or not.
>>8878917
Is something like this too boring? Was thinking I could change the laces to ribbons
Hey guys, what separates something like otona from just regular, normalfag clothing?
Is it ever possible to use Lolita dresses in gyaru?? I just find that angelic pretty's Milky Way jsk gives me more gyaru vibes than Lolita especially in the pink colour way , pic related
>>8879006
I think it's the same dress in the black colorway.
Going to the annual Japanese festival in my town. My roommates and I will be wearing Yukatas (we are performers for the weekend so we get to be professionally dressed). We want to do our hair gal style and our makeup as such. Any pics or scans of some festival/Yukata gyaru make and hair? (Or tips)
>>8879006
I was about to pour scorn all over this post, but actually, that'd work as long as you're reasonably tall.
>>8879006
Some AP and baby dresses/salopettes can be used for hime gyaru very well (sweet loli and hime are crossing anyway)
>>8878995
It has a moonspeak name
>>8879084
I do so too. It's actually cheaper to buy sweet bodyline or second hand AP, than buying new or second hand hime brands.Also the quality is a lot better
>>8878917
either crocs or over-the-knee boots without heels are always good, if rokku, any boot can work, if tsuyome, going for heels with a platform will help, it makes your legs feminine without actually having a high heel
>>8879109
Some bodyline skirts are super short too.. I'm 5'1" and they are almost too short on me for lolita... but for gyaru they'd be cute
>>8878848
Thank you! This helps a lot. The cheekbone contouring has worked well for me in the past for the reasons you said (and also having nice cheekbones just always looks nice).
>>8878847
I can't say I haven't thought about it, but it's something I've decided against, since even though I hate it sometimes it is my face, and I've had it for long enough that I don't want to alter it drastically (at least not right now).
>>8879109
>'s actually cheaper to buy sweet bodyline or second hand AP, than buying new or second hand hime brands.
That's not true at all. I get second hand JD for $50 in like new condition. It holds no value at all, you just have to buy from japanese auctions, not the western comm.
>>8879212
And how much extra fees do you pay for shipping and shopping service? I can get AP stuff from Europe within a week for a start price of 35€ incl shipping. I don't have to go through all the hassle with shopping services and stuff. Also as said, the quality of AP and even BL is many times higher than any gyaru brand hs ever been (except for old lizlisa stuff and maybe some dia pieces)
gyaru is an ugly girl style
>>8879276
fuck off
>>8879052
I'm in the process of planning my own yukata based coord so I'll dump some of the pics I found
End of dump
>>8879691
Anyone know where to get cute yukatas online?
>>8879254
not that anon but part of hime is to look a bit trashy, la pafait's quality is a bit garbage but jesus diamante's is not and if you think you'll look better as a gal in just lolita and bodyline you're far off.
>>8879276
Someone can't do makeup. Kek.
>>8879697
The thumbnail looked a bit messy but now that I've seen this full-size...
I want it. The whole outfit.
>>8880126
That's not what I meant. But la pafait is definitely not worth it's horrendous prices. Jesus Diamante is more catering to onee gyaru these days, but also their old stuff has been pretty high quality.
Anyone knows about quality and size off the lizmelo stuff? My waist is small enough, but I always have to worry about my boob size lol
>>8880447
>oneegyaru
uh no.
>>8880100
Rakuten has pretty cute sets. Just search under the "Women's Yukata Set" section.
>>8882753
>shorts in the snow
I wish I could be this committed their legs must be freezing.
>>8882782
Japan isn't that cold, so I can see getting used to it enough to be outside in the snow.
>>8879212
JD looks like crap tho
>>8885457
Glad that yuritanu is partly back to BD
Anybody here been accused of going in blackface before?
I know it's unlikely, but I also feel like it's happened before.
>>8886478
People always confuse ganguro for blackface so I'd say it's rather common. Those same people are usually unwilling to learn though so I wouldn't really concern myself over it if I were you.
Also, generally if you're whole body is tan, and you don't have the whole "black face/white body" thing going on, you should be fine as far as wearing it in a non-convention environment
>>8848184
You'll be happy to know that someone trolled Kimura U's instagram, calling her racist and they went by the name "white washed asian" which I thought was hilarious and made it an even more obvious trolling attempt. She got called out on it and changed her username like a backpedaling pansy.
>>8887722
I hate purikura machines that do the leg thing. It never looks good idk why they even introduced that
>>8887758
It only looks good in one pose when you straight face the camera
>>8886478
Yeah, multiple times. i just tell them its a faketan not blackface straight up
What is your favorite product for nose highlight?
>>8879691
These are really cute! I love seeing more modern takes on traditional clothes.
>>8874175
she's been blurring out her nose in recent pictures but it looks like the cartilage in the tip of her nose looks way off
>>8889283
she looks like feli
I'm saving a ton of these for my cringe folder
gyaru was a mistake
Why do the gals bow down their heads when they have their pictures taken?
>>8889283
Nose shoop lvl venus angelic omg
But her nose is so pretty!! Or maybe was if she really fucked it up
>>8889372
look up hair smile
they want the focus of the photo to be their big sujimori hair
Why is no one talking about these fucking disgusting, crusty eyelashes? Is this really the face of Gyaru?
>>8889484
It's actually HD youtube (adding weord colors to stuff where it doesn't belong) vs do you only use your lashes once and then throw them right away?
The little dust and make up remains were definitely the last part of this tutorial which got into my eye. I mean, it's her face, her eyes, let her do what she likes, she's NOT a professional makeup artist
>>8889490
those lashes are gross, anon. in fact, I can't stand to watch any videos from that channel since everyone is so shit at makeup and has such dirty, disgusting products and end up looking like they smeared dirt over their face. ew
>>8889541
Well, that's your personal opinion and I'm going to respect it.
I think it's nice that they tryna spread jfashion in the world though the last few videos they made were shit
>>8889498
>>8889562
not that anon but >>8889567 is right, i use lashes myself and they get gross with old glue if you don't clean them after. they are also hard to clean with fake nails so they will get like that...
My yukata will be here tomorrow and I'm super excited. I wish I had cuter white sandals but I have geta so its whatever. If you guys want pictures or links I'll upload as soon as I get it!
I just wanna take a moment to say to western gyaru, no matter how long you've been in the fashion, please please please learn to contour your nose properly. You can't just simply use the tutorials for asian noses. The contour is supposed to achieve a specific effect not just look a specific way. That's my one complain with the gaijin community in general. No one seems to get what the contouring is supposed to do or how it should look. Please contour for your nose not asian ones(unless you're asian then obviously that's fine)
>>8879691
>coord
lolitas need to go.
>>8891777
yes, please post photos!
>>8892740
Literally every j-fashion comm uses the word "coord" but ok

> I googled and only found a blog and nothing especially strange (aside from her fashion sense)

i follow a ton of gyaru tumblrs, and it was a fucking sea of mike brown posts when that happened. i said "Hey, why not reblog gyrau so people can take their mind off things" and i got 60lbs of asspain in a 25lb back hurled back from their main blogs.
Each and every one of them was a cognitive dissonant boong who believes racism=power+prejudice. Really turned me off from discussing it with any westerner.
Any gals got tanning tips for a pale ass white girl who doesn't want skin cancer from tanning beds?
I need that delicious brown gyaru skin but I'm pasty as fuck and live where there's no sun.
I feel like gyaru would be the fashion I would wear if I had a rocking body
I dont think it would suit me as I wear mostly boy clothes now and have short hair
Forever my dream
>>8899936
Could always try spray tanning if you don't want to do tanning beds.
>tfw 50% ginger genetics and tanned for an entire month, got two shades darker, then was pale again a month later
I'm honestly considering a spray tan or those "Apply this lotion every day and slowly get darker!" lotions.
The only fantastic thing about tanning was the fact that I did mine in late winter/early spring so I was toasty warm instead of sweating like a pig. Also, I had a tanning lotion that smelled like Cocoa Puffs and it kept my skin super soft even when I tanned 2-3 times a week trying to use up that 1 Month membership.
I'm sure actual gals could give you better advice but I figured something from another pale ass white girl who tried transitioning to gyaru brown about a year ago (gulls were super helpful with tanning tips for me!) and just gave in when I realized I was getting no where and ruining my skin trying to force something that wasn't going to happen.
>>8899779
Who talks about her? That girl ain't even active in the comm
Can you still be gyaru even if you're pale as fuck? The discussion of tanning made me doubt myself, I'm unsure of whether or not I want to try tanning, I feel like I'd look really bad with it.
>>8900527
No, I meant that everytime there is a gyaru thread (not EVERY time but I digress) someone casually drops her name. It isn't usually bad from what I remember but I was just curious what was so special that people keep mentioning her. Didn't know if there was some odd drama or valentine thamemade folks keep dropping her name.
>>8900585
Oh I see. This is actually the first gyaru thread ever in which I saw her mentioned. She was once into drama with some people on tumblr thorugh that gossipgyaru blog, but that's about 2years ago. Since then she improved a lot and in the last year she hasn't made up a single drama as far as I know.
>>8900575
Ever heard about hime gyaru? Agejo gyaru? Get into the different styles first before doubting that you can't be a gyaru without a tan.
>>8900585
Maybe some vendetta shit
>>8899829
Yeah it's probably best that you stay out, we don't want your sort. And I say that as a white girl.
>>8900585
>>8900601
Basically she used to be hilariously bad at the makeup (eyebrows literally looked like a picasso painting) but shooped the shit out of her face in an attempt to hide it, then furiously denied editing her pictures and went on massive personal attacks at anyone who suggested such. But yeah, that was a while ago.
>>8900679
Aha! I found the picasso eyebrows picture. IIRC thegossipgyaru went in on her for this and her shoop lies and Feli flipped her shit and threatened to report her to the police for cyberbullying or something.
>>8900679
But as sad, that was in the end of 2013? Or maybe 2014?
I follow her and she got a lot better, she doesn't edit all her selfies, she's just putting some filters and she admits that she edits some a little more.
Not sure who's having a gruge against her these days, I saw the secret about her on gs which got posted recently lol the photo which got used wasn't even related to gyaru and you could clearly see her nose in it.
>>8900688
No that landwhale kohaku accused her for cyberbullying and wanted to call the police kek
>>8900678
>we don't want the sort that stays on topic
>We want the sort that makes everything about race
Sweetheart you're not a speaker for the community. Take a seat, you're embarrassing yourself
>>8899733
'the West' isn't just America, dumbass
>>8900805
Neither is the entire internet.
>>8900700
Oh shit, really? I thought thegossipgyaru liked Kohaku's look though?
>>8900831
I think that's more overly tumblr nice considering shes a boring gal..
>>8900831
>gossipgyaru bashed feli
>feli raged a little
>kohaku send thegossipgyaru an ask sth like just ignore her feli is a shitty gal with no talent anyway bla
>'suddenly' kohaku got lots of anon hate
>claimed it was send by feli
>kohaku made posts that she want to get the police after her
>kohaku wanted felis ip
>feli send her the ip (at least that's ehat kohaku said) but kohaku was too stupid to track it
>story end
The only big drama which this girl ever caused, back in 2014.
The recent stuff must be from some vendetta chan. Feli got lots of followers recently on both twitter and instagram, maybe someone's butthurt
>>8854791
Yes, thankfully.
It's absolutely disgusting.
>>8901197
I'm rather new to the comm and I desperately tried to find more about this drama. This is everything I've been able to find. Basically kohaku calling a complete stranger idiot on a public blog, public blog compliments her. Couldn't find more though.
>>8901226
That was right after Feli completely flipped her shit in SnG over getting concrit, so I'm not surprised anyone was calling her an idiot.
Feli's improved a lot though so who cares. There's so much blatant vendetta in this thread.
>>8901237
^this
Digging into years old drama isn't kawaii at all. Let's move on and spread more love.
I really want to submit Valentines but I don't want to reveal myself while submitting them, also making a fb account just for submitting Valentines? Nope
Why didn't they make a tumblr instead?
>>8901251
Well its not like secrets where being exposed would be a shitstorm. Plus the mods are good about keeping personal bias out of posting unlike the other group.
>>8901272
Well, I heard they won't post Valentines about people they don't like and stuff like that. I'm still thinking that it might be better to submit my Valentines to gs
>>8901251
Well its not like secrets where being exposed would be a shitstorm. Plus the mods are good about keeping personal bias out of posting unlike the other group.
>>8901291
That was the Facebook group. The original LJ mods made the new page that is now active and they aren't being biased at all
>>8901329
Thank you, I may try it soon
>>8901251
they said you can still submit on livejournal if you want to be anonymous?
>>8900138
Thanks a lot anon! That's really helpful. I might try out those gradual darkening lotions and see how that works out.
>>8900575
There's a bunch of gyaru styles so yeah, you can be gyaru without being tanned. You won't ever embody that classic gyaru look with tanned skin and bright hair but that's okay. It's the attitude that matters.
I'm cleaning out my room and I found some 2012 egg mags. Is anyone interested in them? You can have them for shipping and a small handling (unless you do f&f then just shipping) the right is a makeup tutorial type book featuring manba

Opinions about the secrets pls

This seems like the perfect thing for kardashisluts and Jenner clan to get into. Hell they already look like it.
>>8908276
unneccesary
shaming someone for their job, being stupid about peoples makeup styles/faces. gyarus should be ashamed of themselves. I am at least
>>8909230
LOL I WISH THEY DID
>>8908276
I don't get why people keep bringing up Ashley. What is the point?
I can't seem to find a light pink lipstick that doesn't look absolutely batty on me, do you guys have any suggestions? I am black
>>8914133
Use something a bit duskier looking, more neutral rather by than pastel bright
>>8909977
Agreed, who gives a shit? It's not like she has much to do with the gal comm anymore and honestly I don't see how it's any of our business how she earns money. Some thirsty dried up ole sand cunt's fixated on her I guess.
Can some who owns older lizlisa (like before 2013) confirm if the quality of their clothing went down. Mostly want to know to determine if its worth buying current pieces full price
>>8919577
I own older pieces 2013 and before and the quality of those is perfect and just as high like the quality of some western brands.
For the newer pieces, I can only tell it's a 50/50 chance. Knots falling off when receiving your stuff is normal, threads hanging out the clothes = usual. And they use more synthetic fabric nowadays instead of cotton
who else is happy to see the comm slowly get more active?
>>8922347
HERE!
But also means we have to deal with suuuuper shitty newbies again and with the old 'superstars' of the scene getting more and more over the top with their arrogant behaviour while shitty newbies are trying to live in their as*es
>>8923949
lol I hope not!
Talking about superstars, who do you think will become the new faces of our community? as most of the old superstars are leaving the fashion
>>8924265
Jojo ... and Marie
There are no other good gaijin gal at the moment. At least those are the two who are most active
>>8924433
really? I think there are plenty
>>8924433
There's Lau (not that active) and GeorgiePiyo (active)
