Just some questions I have.
How closely do you Gal's follow the current trends?
For me personally since there aren't many plus Gyaru Models I have slightly different rules I need to follow clothing wise. But I personally don't like the idea of following an outfit right to the T either. I know some Gal's will wear the same outfit their fave model wears with no deviation. And it personally irks my soul, even you look good. I don't understand it.
Which leads to the next question.
If you do follow trends, what percentage of it is incorporated into your wardrobe/coordinate?
Not every trend is that great and some past trends still work well to me. I still have fox tails. ( Actually I had one before they were hottest thing to get...and I know that sounds hipsterish, I'm being honest....I am also not a hipster .____.)
How about color palates?
It seems every style has set colors and maybe even prints that I see little deviation from, Aside from wanting a particularly goth wardrobe that I can use in each of my preferred styles or wear just as is. I also love my colors whether it's clothes, makeup or hair. And I'm no stranger to either bright and bold or soft pastels. With the exception of maybe gyaru kei or Amekaji, some styles seem to have the same color schemes and pattern usage. For example. Onee Gyaru. I mostly see black, white, brown, silvers, some animal print, usually leopard. Maybe I'm missing some Western Gal's who break out of this color scheme but what about cobalt blues or mustard yellow?
And with makeup in mind.
Is it possible to do gyaru makeup with some colors beside maybe pink, neutral tones, and blacks, greys, silvers and gold?
My favorite colored eye shadow is electric eel ( which is bright as fuck blue) and I wore it like a fiend. I also really like blue color palates since I have brown eyes. It makes my eyes pop. I guess it's hard to and one would have to sit down and really think about how it would fit with an outfit. Though I have seen a few gals do other colors, there isn't a whole lot.
Hair color....well there isn't much I can say. I have seen a lot when it comes to gyaru and hair. I've seen wild and I've seen tame in a whole spectrum of colors. And wigs are one of the best things ever, whether you have "natural" ( browns, black, blondes, and some reds) hair colors and want a easy change without out totally committing or unnatural and need something a little more natural for another style. The possibilities are quite endless if you know what you're doing. And there are tons of tutorials online to follow on youtube.

My Gal Inspiration
So I wanna take the time to at least post some of the Gals that inspire me. They are in no particular order and I chose them because while they're into the style they're not so " I have to get my look exactly like that". They exude what I feel it is to be Gyaru while being true to themselves. The hair the clothes and makeup fits who they are and not necessarily what is shown in a magazine or is cookie cutter. And I'm more inspired by Gaijin Gyaru, than models in a magazine.
