In my inbox I recieved my regular subscription of Dani’s blog post updates. And I must say it really moved me. Here’s what really compelled me to finally write something on my blog after all this time:

GYARU IS IN THE WAY YOU PORTRAY YOURSELF, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT — IT’S MUCH MORE THAN WHAT IT APPEARS AT FIRST SIGHT. ~Dani

It’s not very often in the Gyaru community that words and quotes inspire you. Usually we browse blogs and tumblelogs to search for pictures. Be they scans, videos, or hauls of somekind. Dani has  has gone through the many steps it takes to fully comprehend gyaru, a type of enlightenment, if you will. I believe that once the above quote fully asorb into our minds, we will be able to take that next step which moving away from the Gyaru stigmas and stereotypes and fully develop our style away from magazines and scans.

To read more about the Secrets of Gyaru please read Dani’s post here at Alternative Kei. And the second part is located here.

I want to hear from all of you. Do you think its an lifestyle? a fashion? How did you come to realize that?  do you have an experience to share with us? Please leave a comment below to express your opinion.
