Day 01 – When did you start dressing gyaru?
I started gyaru a little before freshman year of high school. I had been studying Japanese fashions like Lolita and visual-kei and stumbled upon gyaru. I've been doing it ever since but occasionally i waiver ot other trendy fashions like mori or street fashion.

Day 03 – What’s your best and worst experience with non-gyarus?
My best experiences are always with girls who aren't gyaru who tell me they like my style or that they know about it. It gives me a chance to help them explore the style or learn more about it since there aren't many gyaru where I live. My worst experiences are actually with people who know me very well but know nothing of the style. In my earlier years they would always think my bottom lashes were coming off and would try to tell me how to do my makeup. I was open to criticism but I hated people telling me what to do with my face if they didn't know why. Idk I'm still weird about bottom lashes
Day 04 - A picture of a memorable night
This was my first ( and sadly my only) gyaru meet so far and it was with the gyaru girls in NYC. I have a full blog post about that here
Day 05 – What do you love and dislike about gyaru? I love that people take so much pride in how they look and feeling great about themselves. It takes a lot to gain the skills and to suit it to your own taste and I find that some people are really good at it! The thing I don't like though is the critical judgement of people's character or when people are all up in others personal lives. The aspect of people not wanting to try as hard or critiquing someone's life choice ex. Being an av gal. I don't think that should be as important as looking and feeling good about yourself.
Day 06 - A picture of something you want to do before you die
some people might think it's sad but I'd REALLY love to do a group cosplay or make really good looking armor for a costume. It's sort of a test of my own skill to see if i can get to that point in my own art skill and improve myself as well as be surrounded by people who do the same.
Day 07 – Your favourite accessories that you own.
THIS IS SOOO HARDDDD. I dont think i have one. If anything it might be my coat but that's not really an accessory. I actually don't wear much jewelry or it changes with the style I'm wearing. I'd say my most versatile piece I have is probably my cross earrings that I have been wearing more often.
