I've always had an interest in Gyaru, ever since I first saw it back around 2008
But I was only about 13 and already struggling to get any sort of clothing I wanted in general, seeing as I was fat and growing up in Tennessee with less than acceptable parents.

But! I am an adult now~
And though I'm just as poor now as I was as a kid ・゜(。┰ω┰。).・゜
I have a lot more clothing options now!

So I've decided to try and start my journey into Gyaru fashion and its lifestyle
I've often wanted to find a nice community I feel welcome and safe in, and I've tried many a thing.
Another lifestyle/fashion I'm interested in is Goth! But I feel like I spent the first part of my life living a gothic lifestyle even if it wasn't full intentional. And I feel gyaru suits my love of cute and flashy more than gothic ever could with my love of darky and halloween like. 

But it is very much a journey! I have lots to learn and want to connect with the community so I can grow and experience the gal life~ (❛◡˂̵ ̑̑✧)

I'm almost constantly looking at gyaru content, I'd def say the tisim has a hand in that. But my first goal is to find a substyle I feel I enjoy the most.

So far I'm very interested in Ganguro like Manba and Romanba, or just mostly 90s-00s style gyaru!
I really love their flashy co*des and make, but I am a little timid about darkening my skin (ʃ_⌣̀ )/||
I am cautious about tanning and I'm afraid to come across as insensitive with it. Which I suppose is silly to worry about, since my natural tan is a bit darker than most would expect from me.

Since I am Cherokee on my mom's side (And Blackfoot on bio dad's, but the tribe you identify with is based off your mother's side in Cherokee culture!) so I do tend to get decently tan when I try, but I'm also agoraphobic and bit of a shut in. (◕‸ ◕✿) So I don't really get enough sun. But!! Maybe this summer I'll change that.~

Other styles I'm interested in is Agejo
And kiiiinda Hime? Despite my user, I'm not nearly as interested in it, because it reminds me too much of Lolita, and respectfully, I do not want to be seen as apart of that community. (- ‸-‶)

Not that I dislike Lolita! I used to want to dress it all the time, and it was my first Jfashion I fell for!
Buuuut, it's honestly just too money oriented and elitist for me. Like I tried to go to a Jfashion meet at a con I went to, and they didn't even let me in, because I wasn't "Lolita enough". (◕‸ ◕✿)
It just all around was not a good experience, and honestly that along side the rude community members, it killed my enjoyment of both Lolita, and just Jfashion in gen.

BUT
Gyaru brought that love back! And I just simply wont be listening to shitty people and only listen to constructive criticism! "You're not X enough" will never be an acceptable thing to say to me and I'm gonna require an written essay on why I'm not. ;P

Sooooo
For now, I'm going to share what I'm learning and doing on here.
I recently did my first attempt EVER at Gyaru! Full make and co*de~
I'll post the pics belowwww!!
