this_chick goes gyaru!

[sweetstrwberry1]

umm dont go out like this if u live in the US cuz they'll think the other way cuz they dont know this kind of style and they'll think ur crazy

[thischickisaaight]

@sweetstrwberry1 So? Maybe they'll learn about style from a country other than the one they were born in. I am not alone, sweetie--there's a lot out there that people don't have any idea about, and I enjoy being right there in the middle of it. ^_~*

I don't put too much stock in what other people think, because if I did I would never be able to be happy with myself--I'd be making myself crazy for real to do what other people think is right for me. I'm pretty sure I can determine that for myself.

[sweetstrwberry1]

@thischickisaaight ok whatever its u they're gonna look at not me.. 

[iStylix]

isn't this manba makeup style? looks more like it .. good effort ;) i wanna try something similar out .. doubt i'd look gd tho -_-

[vikinglady09]

You my inspiration! I always felt nervous to do this being an african american girl. Im always afraid of what people may think, but your video gives me the confidence to just do it :D Thank you!

[thischickisaaight]

@vikinglady09 Thank you! Be sure to check out Lishanala's channel. She's absolutely amazing, and is really nice. She'll give you tips on everything an Ameri-gyaru would want to know!

Just be confident, practice lots, and don't be afraid of color!

[FFVIIgrl]

@thischickisaaight aww thanks too! I'm black british and i wanted to try this look out, :D do you think you can help with ganguro/manba aswell?

[thischickisaaight]

@FFVIIgrl I could help a little with basics, but Lisha's better at it because she knows more styles (by experience). You should check out her channel--I learned a LOT just from watching her and taking her advice.

[BunnyHanyou]

You look cute!!! :D.

[stephenkingson]

the style is so old school, like 90's gyaru, is that what youre doing? the hair too, you look damn old school, it's good tho

[thischickisaaight]

Yep, that's the style I'm going for.

I think I may try some of the newer styles, but I'm working on the wig for it at the moment, because I can't wear the colors I'd be using to work (office job).

[sarahajike]

u dont look too bad

[kayayareeye]

very cute, you have great potential!

practice makes perfect ^^

[mouthygirl95820]

i love this look it very fabulous and only true high fashion people can pull it off.i need get me a white stick so i can do gangru/manba sp look.

[xxXDdiamondsHEARTxx]

i dont get it how smiling to the cam and looking at it makes this cute.. BUT LIKE THE MAKEUP... hate the outfit ...

[thischickisaaight]

Well maybe when I finally grow that third arm or you know... learn to levitate cameras with the power of my mind, I can finally do a two-handed cute pose while recording it to video and staying in frame.

Until then, you'll have to settle for the "smiling and looking" cute attack, if you don't mind.

[AliceShinya]

that looks super nice on you

[Kuparina]

Kawaiii <3

[AngelicAcid453]

I like :)

[NyappyChocoChan]

you are really cute.

it reminds me of the old kogals back in the 90's.

<3

[thischickisaaight]

Alright--you got it! Yeah, that's my favorite version of gyaru.

The new styles mostly look too ordinary, too pale (so I can't really pull it off), or you have to do crap with your hair that takes entirely too long to put in/take out.

I'll always love this style--ganguro forever! ::peace::

[Lishanala]

you can look for banba pics lol. some of them dont go that extreme but its still more tanned and brighter make up than the pale gals these days~

[thischickisaaight]

I love banba, but in most of the pics of them I've seen, they're wearing braids. I'm just not ready for that kind of hair commitment! XD

I do love the style, though.

[Lishanala]

lol, i have alot of pics of them with teased (unbraided )hair though lol

[Lishanala]

some of them just have teased hair though. lol. i maybe look through gal groups on facebook for pics??

[ChicaSonidera]

LOL wow yeah looks authentic. you look japanese with a tan ^^

[stalkingxyou]

coming from an Asian chick, I like to say, you look convincingly Asian. I think it's what you did with your eyes.

[linx678]

HOLY CRAP T_C!!! I would so not recognize you if I say you walking down the street....

Wow. You look adorable and that's an awesome makeup job. You look nothing like you usually do (obviously that the point but still) Adorable. What color is your eye shadow? The lighting doesn't help.

[thischickisaaight]

::blush:: Thanks!

It's white eyeshadow with some blue, but I blended it so it's not really stark.

Yeah, I thought the lighting was better in the bathroom, but it turns out that some of the bulbs were out. -_-;

[therealshaka]

oh you're going for the ganguro look

well why don't you do stickers too!

^-^

[thischickisaaight]

::lol:: great idea!

Funny thing is, I just bought some stickers to put on my face today! I bought some hair clips too.

Thanks for your advice--I really appreciate it.

[therealshaka]

sorry to say but this makeup style is very outdated

[thischickisaaight]

I know--I'm doing this particular outfit/style as a group thing, and this is kind of how we will all looking (kind of an homage to the old style).

I just wanted more widespread opinion about whether it is accurate... and maybe I should put that in the description.
