Hello there everyone!
I am sorry that I take forever to post something. I guess it's cause I constantly find myself at wits end and not sure what to do other than to be stuck in one position of life. But lately I've been very into these rebellions going around with each of my friends. I noticed that one thing which is very annoying is the fact that the old generation Gyaru sit around knocking heads with the Newbies. I don't like it because it's just irritating. I understand being proud of old Gyaru style but the New gyaru style is barely able to be considered as "Gyaru" anymore, isn't it? I notice if I see a light skinned girl put on nothing but foundation, circle lens and lashes...She's "Gyaru" but if there are some darker girls trying to incorporate said style, They get ridiculed. That being said.
I'M DONE WITH THE BULLSH*T.
When I first joined into the Gyaru world I didn't do it just because I am blasian. I did it because I fell in LOVE With the rebellious make up. The white concealer all over the face, dark tans, bleach blonde hair. It was to me, purely amazing. Then, I seemed to notice how quickly everyone was diving into this new style. I honestly can't consider what is done now-a-days as Gyaru. Wearing BARELY any make up then throwing on a couple face accessories is UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS of your ethnicity. Why do Gyaru if you'll half-ass it? Isn't Gyaru FULL of sub-styles also? That is probably the one thing that peeves me off the most, Is that gyaru is made with SO many subcultures of it yet we have a million either copying one another, or trying to stifle each other's creativity. I believe that not JUST an Asian is capable of being Gyaru, but ANYONE can achieve the style with proper make up, proper contouring, and proper accessories. I am not a perfect gyaru, merely a beginner in my own strides. But I don't agree to the BS running all over the place. I've been thinking for so long, that if I had lighter skin, if my eyes were wider and other things, I'd be such a beautiful gyaru yet. That is a completely untrue way to think. As myself, as I am right now. I can't be any more beautiful and have such an amazing individuality. I LOVE having a natural dark yellow complexion, I love having wavy/curly hair that I can actually straighten when I don't want to have the little curls everywhere. I LOVE being short. These things, why wish to change them about myself when I can be my own person and use it to my advantage? The same goes for anyone reading this. Gyaru... To me, Gyaru is an expression. A fashion expression that you take, you form into your own. And you fiercely work it~ There shouldn't be a straight-set rule that every gyaru HAS to be a certain skin tone, or look a certain way. No. Especially as Gaijin Gyaru!! We are to be trend-setting the hell out of this look with our fuax fur tails and shorts. And overalls with cute ruffled socks. WE Are the ones here who need to take this responsibility, wear things that suit our style. Not try to follow something that ends up making us look like either a complete whore, or just...a train wreck.
AND NOW I'M REALLY DONE TALKING ABOUT IT!!
In other news, I regrettably have to mention how BADLY I've been craving to buy some overalls, not even the long, lanky ones. But. The cute thigh-knee length overalls with a cute little long-sleeve shirt or something to wear under it. I guess because the spring time is slowly creeping up on me and I don't wanna miss a thing! Ahahaha, I want to be very adorable looking during the summer. I plan to actually work 2 jobs if I can balance it through my schedule, I need to save money since I'll be moving pretty soon. And also, my Birthday was on Valentines' day. So I am finally 17-18 years old. It feels GOOOD to be old enough to get a job at a clothing store instead of working at shitty food places every waking moment. I come to realize, "Get your OWN F*cking sandwich, go to Walmart, go get some damn bread, and gtfo of my face." Just from working about 3-4 years at the same place. I honestly did not ever think the food industry would make me so bitter. But also, I forgot to mention the LOVELY trip I took to Washington, Tacoma to visit my husband. Of course I missed a good couple of days of Classes. But Eh. Who cares? Ahaha, I don't seem to care much for my classes anymore. I'm working very hard to pass them though.
Well, Here's some pictures from my trip.
This is of me right before I left for the trip. I decided to dye my hair a dark brown since it looked somewhat unhealthy with the light brown. But I plan to go back sometime soon.
February 14th (My Birthday)
Hanging out with my mixed friend Ashley in our theatre bathroom, BOSS-Like!
I tried a new bit of color instead of my normal light/neutral eyeshadows
Another picture from my birthday.
This was February 17th, nomming on Denny's food with my husband. <3
....I hate this picture for some reason.
A rainy day in Tacoma while waiting for the buses
I don't know when I took this, when we were at the apartment.
>>; Well.
My newer Gyaru Make
I really loved this picture most because I'd just come from outside, and it'd been raining pretty hard yet my make up did not get affected at all!
I edited this picture with slight smooth + Blur tool and changed the saturation a little. But, I really loved how this picture came out. It really lets me see the beginner's contouring I've started to learn. Ahahaha.
Well, That's all until next time~
