archive ☆ old western gyaru circles and blogs ☆ pt 1

 hi


i think a lot of ppl do this but i read through lots of old gal blogs. not only from gyaru models but from overseas gyaru too...

☆ hysterical ☆

it's really cool to see how many big gyaru communities and events used to be all over the world :,)

someday i would really like to to help do things like organize events too! my dream is just to have a gal circle even if it's a 2 person casual one lol

because of that, i was thinking about what i could do as someone new and i wanted to start putting together easier to access gyaru resources, culture, etc

i was already looking for old gyaru info but it's not organized LOL i have a 200+ video playlist on youtube and tons of links saved. yahoo answers is shutting down so i started saving gyaru related questions and badly translating them :,D

i understand some gyaru were probably around for these originally, but i want newer gyaru to be able to find links to old blogs and stuff more easily !

i'll keep making blog posts like this and maybe also a google drive

heaven-T ☆ first French galsa
☆ distance galsa ☆

next ☆ a bunch of people have been posting active gyaru blog links, but i have a collection of inactive blogs i was saving for myself

a lot of old blogs have been deleted, so it's kind of a small list :(

☆ gal circle blogs and web pages ☆







i was soooo sad when universal-doll got shut down. i learned so much from it and when i was starting to wear gyaru i would stay up late reading it lol. but it's still available on internet archive, even if it's slow and hard to navigate </3
update ♡!!! the blog website is still gone but a lot of the older posts on wordpress, from before it was moved to its own domain still exist !!!! 
it has detailed tours of gyaru malls, brand concepts, shop staff snaps, info on the gal culture in different cities, years of different seasons and trends, and translations of gyaru media from someone who lived in japan/wore gyaru at the time :)


if u have other links or want a blog removed please comment!!!

thanks for reading lol! i hope this was interesting or helpful to someone <3

new blog design ^_^ kind of

 hi! for a while i wanted to draw my own "avatar" for my blog profile and stuff, and add a cute header that wasn't so plain

i traced an illustration from a parapara dvd and recolored her to look like me (with better hair -_-) i drew a ma*rs style setup since it works the best with the uniform kind of silhouette




it's not the best thing i've drawn ever and the image quality is kind of bad, but....it's cute to me

actually i'm realizing a lot of mistakes now omg nooo 

also a new header! idk if i'll keep it because it clashes with my background a little but i really like pink zebra print lately


(update!!! i got rid of it but i also messed with the html of my blog to make all the image backgrounds transparent/get rid of the frames that go around pictures bc i didn't like them...)

i also wanna add a cute cursor but i'm not sure how since when i tried to use the html code i found online, it didn't work...if u know how pls let me know !

ok that's it! i just wanna document when i change my blog! i hope ur day/night/whenever u read this is good

good night <3
