Gyaruo and Gyaru Clothes

To me Gyaruo is the least outrageous of the many Japanese subculture styles. So it's pretty easy to find clothes for people who want to dress Gyaru/Gyaruo. You may even have a few pieces of clothes in your closet that would match with the style. If you don't Gyaru or Gyaruo clothing they are pretty easy to find. UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BRAND. For online shopping you can go to Yesstyle or maybe even some local shops around your area. For me I have a Rue 21 and their clothes are cheap and go great with the style most the time. Gyaru girls really shouldn't have a problem with finding clothes for the style because there is forever 21 and all sorts of stores including Rue 21.. There is a specific store in Yesstyle that is GREAT for Gyaruo's  called Black Asuka. HURRY AND CHECK THEM OUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE FREE SHIPPING UNTIL JULY 31, 2013!!!!

Japanese Fashion- Gyaru/ Gyaru-o for black GUYS?????

Okay guys before I get you all excited.....This may not be what you expected >.> ごめん but anyway this will be more of a rant.  I've noticed it's harder for us African American male to do Japanese Fashions such as Gyaruo/visual kei/oshare etc....... because we don't have the hair *sigh* It's not "normal" for us to relax our hair. This is not to say African american guys haven't relaxed their hair because they have some even attempt to do Japanese styles. WHICH I 100% APPROVE OF, but some people have parents like mine. They don't want us to do outrageous things like relax our hair and dress differently. (This may be all parents XD) I understand where they are coming from but at the same time I want the freedom to express myself and explore different styles, but sadly I can't do that. I think I strayed away from the topic. Back on subject this is why you don't see African American Gyaruos or visual kei or whatever style because they all mainly focus on HAIR but then I stopped to think about it....hmmm how about wigs? Now, this will get me killed I could never wear a wig!! haha Mostly because of my parents but also I'm not interested in them. So wigs are 100% out of the question ^^;! Then I thought about isn't there a Gyaru substyle called B-Gyaru or Burraku(ブッラク)Gyaru which could also translate to Black??? So I am interested in how B-Gyaru-O would look but I tried searching it and only B- Gyaru and regular Gyaruo appeared. Are there any B-Gyaruo? If so are they like the B-Gyaru? TO ME B-Gals mimicked what they saw in Hip-Hop in the early 2000's and meshed the styles together and made it their own.  So if there are any B-Gyaru-Os (sounds like a cereal) Please send me pictures I would love to see those. I wondered if they would have braids or short hair like most African american men?

On another topic I'm hoping to start blogging more so if I do label anything GYARUO take it as if it were a grain of rice. 

I love to see non Asians doing Asians originated styles its so fun ^^ I hope to see more guys participate  including me ^^; If only I had hair....*sigh*. Until next time...SEE YA!
