It's about 10:00pm PST. I'm spending my evening as usual, talking with Gigi and laughing it up. Then I was checking out Lady Li's blog. I can tell you I wasn't happy with what I found:
Or at least, of me hosting it.
I can take a lot, as you all know I’m constantly bombarded with hate but I just can’t take any more of this.
I created the awards to make people happy and encourage people to become more friendly towards each other. However, all it seems to be doing is causing even more negativity and bitchiness.
Also, I’m not a production crew, nor do I have any help at all. I’m one person with no training whatsoever. People are expecting too much from me. None of you know what goes on in my personal life, or what I have to deal with each day. The awards depend on other Gaijin Gyaru, but unfortunately, many aren’t actually reliable and back out last minute - leaving me to recover for them or take their blame. So, I’m now a few presenters short of a cast - just like last year. I made sure to ask well in advance this year, thinking that was the reason why last years backed out.
I’m not a rich person, in fact I’m very poor. This costs me money to make, and I make nothing from it, as I can’t put adverts on these videos. It also takes up a lot of my time, I actually put my heart into these awards, and I’m sure you would all be shocked if you actually knew how much time was put into them.
Also, too many people are getting upset about not been nominated, instead of been happy for the ones that were.
People seem to think that I’m the one who decides who is nominated, demanding to know why/why not someone was/wasn’t nominated. I’ve already said so many times that it’s the voters who decide. I have no say in that area of the awards.
It’s a shame, because I really hoped this would turn into something the entire community could enjoy and take part in. It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, but to simply to be enjoyed.
Anyone else can continue this in the future, but I’ve had enough.
This is coming from Lhouraii! You know what that means? NO MORE GGA next year!
Somehow, the few of you haters out there, whoo couldn't stand the fact that you weren't chosen over the current nominees of the GGA that you had to run her ragged to the point where we are going to be dealing with second rate production and other useless crap.
We have honestly failed as a community when G_S has taken precedence over gal forums and blogs.
So what did I do? I put on my makeup, prepped my camera, and spoke my two cents about the whole thing:
Dani over at Alternative kei has written a mind blowing post to get you all thinking, What does Gyaru mean to you?
Update: Lolo has responded to mine and Dani's post here. And Bree gives her point of view as an outsider looking in. She has a sequel to it as well. I pray that we can change in time.
Another Update: Tomo has put in her two sense. And trust me when I say its priceless. Check it out here.
Not bad for filming at 1:30am!
And you know what? I'm not the only one upset!
Here's a video by AgeNoir's own Gigi Asare that talks about confidence. It's design just for gyaru, but we all need to watch this and have it bookmarked for whenever we are feeling down:
