Ok, if you already no what Gyaru is..then you must think I'm crazy. If you don't know what Gyaru is- then today is your lucky day!
Let me give you the gist of the Gyaru:
Gyaru basically means "bad gal." It's really a unique form of Japanese lifestyle/fashion. There are different sub-cultures to it, but Gyaru is the term for the whole. There's Ganguro, which is described as girls that tan alot, where bright makeup and cute clothes, and para-para dance to the extreme. There's also Yamanba. Yamanba is the term for the females who do like the Ganguro, but want even darker skin and bleached out hair (they're my personal favorite). There's also one more, Himegyaru. Himegyaru don't really tan or wear super bright makeup. It's gyaru for rich girls. They curl and tease their hair alot, and they wear expensive clothes. They make themslves up to look like dolls.
So now that you kinda know what I'm talking about, do you think I'm crazy now?
Honestly, I admire these girls. They enjoy sticking out like a sore thumb, probably more than I do. I enjoy being so much different than anybody else! Being normal is just...dumb.
Furthermore, the Gyaru are an example of Japan's great creativity. They set the standard for alot of fashion in the States already. Who knows! Maybe in a few years, we'll be wearing mediocre peices and makeup looks derived from them.
