The ever so lovely Danyy, as reopened her AltKei shop to include the purchase of magazines.
I can only descrive AltKei in three words:
Affordable. Reliable. Fast!!!

This of course pleases me greatly, after all who's the best person to buy Gal magazines from than your best friend?
My first order, from Alternative Kei, included FOXY EGG, Soul Sister Vol.7, Ageha August 2012 (I have a subscription), and a Gyaru Hair Bible. Today I'll be reviewing Foxy.

This magazine, is a MUST BUY FOR ANYONE STARTING GYARU. It gives you the flair of the original Egg magazine, and a bit of English sensibility (you can understand it better).

Now, what attracted me to scour the pages of Foxy was the largest headline on the cover:
この夏、誰にも負けない!!
「This Summer, Second to none」
TOP of GAL!! FOXY STYLE in SUMMER
Here's the scans of the article
This article talks about the 12 keywords for Foxy Summer:
Here's the scans of the article
Tank top, T-shirt, White style,
Mini one piece, On Beach, Cap
Pierced earring, Sunglasses, Skirt & Pants (aka. the skort)
Denim Best, Black Style, Rompers
My opinion: OMG! It's the first thing you see in the magazine! The table of contents come right after. I love how FOXY gets right to the point of what you should be wearing for summer. And the keywords are in English! I don't know if this is a slight nod to the western community, but I'm glad its easier to interpret.
強め&セクシー系限定!
「System to Emphasize Sexy」
Wanna Sexy?! Foxy Snap in Shibuya.
#SNAPで発見! SEXYテクニック♥
「Discovered!, Sexy technique Snaps」
＃憧れブランドのツョップ店員SNAP
「Shop Staff of Admired Brands」
＃夏デコ満載!夏ネイル&夏Beauty
「Fully loaded! Summer Deco, Nails, and Beauty」
Snaps, snaps, and more snaps! You're getting the low down on mise bras and how these Gyaru add sexy to their wardrobes. There's more appreciation of the Shop Staff in Foxy than I have seen in other magazines.
My opinion: MORE GAL SECRETS REVEALED!!!!!
なつ魅せ
「Enchanted summer」
誘惑ランジェリー
「Temptation Lingerie」
#夏は刺激的がハマるぢゃん
「?Stimulating Summer Favorites?」
A while ago, I was thinking about the pheromone 「フェロモン」style. Which is basically Pin up gyaru. I remember Romari talking about it in a couple of Facebook group about how you usually see a tiny bit of information on it in Ageha. Well, they don't go in-depth about it here either. But, the styles are cute and can match anything you have in your closet.
ＦＯＸＹ ＧＩＲＬ'Ｓの "リアル夏服"NOW!!
「Realistic Summer Clothes Now」
#みんなの夏服みせて〜!
「Everyone shows off their summer clothes」
This is worth seeing. After all you have learned so far in the magazine about the 12 keywords, you see it put to practice.
TOKYO CLUB SNAP
激アツ!スポットのオシャレ事!
I could not fully translate the byline for this article T^T.
From what I'm seeing, this article shows people clubbing in Club Axxcis Shibuya and Studio FORUM. On the last page of the article, they do a short trend report of what people are wearing to the clubs.
誰よりも魅せる♥
「More attractive than the others」
注目6ブラソドの
「Observing 6 brands」

I hope you've enjoyed this review of the first (and hopefully not last) issue of FOXY EGG. If you've noticed, I did not include everything in this review. It's time for us as Gyaru to take this seriously and start buying the magazines. Danyy has provided the means of International shipping, so I don't see a need to giving out a free copy of this mag. If you would like to see more, I will be doing an upcoming fashion update post that will include different scans from Foxy.
