The Emperor isn’t wearing any clothes, but his opinion bikini is quite a lovely shade of sexy

So Ganguro girls are around, but they’re not that common anymore. I briefly mentioned that there was a similar type of style that was more common. Well, except for the fact that you might maybe possibly (probably not) confuse one for the other, there are many differences. Ganguro resembles black/r&b culture while the other style is really just trying to emulate the greatest and most wonderful part of America that has ever existed, SoCal. You can kind of guess what these girls do, they dress up like a (insert scathing invective here about how many people living in Southern California are vapid, self-centered, materialistic goblins). Well, not really; however, they do dye their hair blonde and get a tan.

She’s on her way.

These girls just get a tan and don’t go overboard with it. I don’t have any good pictures of them yet, but you can easily guess what they look like. Now, many times I don’t really like this fashion, but the reasons for it (and also for Ganguro) are asthetic.

They just let me out of the asylum. Let’s go to Shibuya and rob some fuckers.

Pretty much all Japanese people have black hair and black eyes by default. When they change away from their natural color, it doesn’t always fit them. Or, at least, it seems that way to me. Usually, if a Japanese person just dyes their hair, it’s ok; if they just get a tan, it’s usually not too bad; it’s when the two are combined that the chance that it looks good drops dramatically. This is all subjective. You might think that this style is great and want to mash my head in one of those chicken-head-cutting-off-machines, that’s fine. Each of us has our own opinion and fashion is, for the most part, just wearing someone else’s opinion that you agree with.

The parfait has reached the speed of sound, but her brain is barely moving.

This type of style isn’t the best in my opinion, but there’s certainly worse.

We are regressing.
