Black Gyaru? Amerigyaru? What's with these terms?

I was reading (or rather scanning) this article that talks about what Gyaru is. To be honest, the only reason I read or even knew about it was because people on my facebook were talking about how some of their information doesn't make sense. For example:

" Gyarus have various subcategories too, depends to choice of fashions and gender. (Source Wikipedia)...Western gyaru, Amerigyaru, etc Girls and also guys who have found gyaru fashion outside of Japan (Spain, Finland, Canada, America). They have their own communities, and forums to help beginner gyaru and to meet up with each other during travel. They also use the forums to connect with each other in their own states as well..."

First off, Western gyaru is just a tag we use on Tumblr or blog posts to help people find out about us and Amerigyaru was a group on Facebook that flopped and no longer exists. I'm pretty sure the OP was confusing these two things with the style Amekaji which is, in fact, a gyaru style. But this post isn't about that, it's about this:

"Gyaru trends: ...Kokujin Gyaru, A black person who does gyaru fashion. Used to help Black females to find each other online. example Saiharii..."

...What?

Kokujin gyaru (not to be confused with kurogyaru) isn't a trend, it's a tag that we use to help others find out about us. That's like saying hakujin (white person) gyaru is a trend, which it isn't and just sounds stupid as hell. Everyone who isn't a native Japanese person living in Japan is considered as gaijin so all of us that live in other countries and practice gyaru are called gaijin gyaru or even western gyaru, we don't break it down into skin color and race. When it is, it's mainly just to make it easier for others that are like us to find us and either help us by giving us advice or being an example for others to follow or at least know that they aren't the only ones of their race that wish to follow (or do follow) that fashion.

To sum up what I wrote:
*Amerigyaru/western gyaru IS NOT a subcategory of gyaru fashion.

*Amekaji IS a subcategory of gyaru fashion.

*Kokujin gyaru IS NOT a trend. IT IS A TAG FOR THE INTERNET.

*Kurogyaru(96gal) IS a subcategory of gyaru but DOES NOT literally mean anyone with an ounce of African-American blood in them automatically gets branded as kurogal.

*Gaijin gyaru/western gyaru IS A TAG, NOT A SUBCATEGORY OF GYARU.

I just felt like this needed to be elaborated on for everyone who doesn't understand how these terms and tags are used. If you have any questions or would like some clarification please don't be shy to ask, I may sound mean and bitchy but if you're really interested in learning the RIGHT information then I'm more than happy to inform you or lead you to someone who really knows what they're talking about :D

Small Meet and Buys

I had a very small meet-up yesterday with two girls in my area. There name's are Kiwii and Alicia and I was kinda excited to find out that there were other girls interested in gyaru in my area :) We didn't take pictures since we didn't do much and I was late. We just walked around the mall and browsed through the store's clearance racks cuz we're all poor hahaha xD

Overall I spent about $30 and bought a new maxi skirt and tank top from Charlotte Russe and some midi rings. Then I went into this store called Love Culture that I'd never been to before and it was pretty cool in there. They had these SEXY shoes that looked like Lita boots but the boot was covered in a bright metallic silver and the heel was clear! I would've bought them if they were in my size...and weren't $50 T^T

In Love Culture I bought a pair of sunglasses, a cross and skull necklace, some skull with antlers studs, a spiked diamond and pearl headband, and a bracelet that looks like an oraora bracelet. Hopefully next time we have a meetup we take pictures and have more people but then we'd probably have to change the event title to "harajuku fashion meet-u" instead of "gyaru meet-up" that seems to make people not want to show up lol. But here are photos of what I bought and what I looked like, enjoy!

And yes, I'm wearing sunglasses with my regular glasses xD I'm weird like that

Hope you all have a great day, thanks for reading!

"Hey Miivii! What do you think about racism in Gyaru?"

I think fuck your racist ass, I'm gonna do it anyway and so should everyone else.

Little Update and Information

IT'S FINALLY SPRING BREAK FOR ME!!!!! YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~

Since I have a moment, I will be updating my blog with more relevant information about myself, but until then I want you guys to go read these blog posts if you are active in the gal community:

* Phillicia/Glee's Post about exposing Chaudie

* Lolo's Post about exposing Chaudie

* Yumi Le's Post about exposing Chaudie

* Gigi(Gabriela Asare)'s video about exposing Chaudie

As you can probably guess from the URLs, these are all about a certain girl named Chaudie (aka Himelyn/Mirai he/Chaudelyn Severa). I personally don't know her and have had no communication with her, but hearing everyone's stories about her make me dislike her already. I just want to help spread the knowledge of this woman to everyone who either had contact with her or might end up having contact with her. From what I've gathered, she's trying to get internet famous by bandwagoning on other well-known or up-and-coming gyaru and she has no sympathy or empathy for those who fall victim to her schemes. So, I'd advice having nothing to do with her unless you like having your feelings hurt and being used like tissue and later tossed in the wind.

That aside, look forward to seeing actual stuff about me tomorrow! :D
