Hello!! :) I would like to participate in your free readings if you’ll allow me :) may I please ask what would a hypothetical romantic relationship between me and hyunjin of stray kids be like? If anything nsfw comes through, I’m comfortable with that, thank you so much in advance if you choose to respond, have a nice rest of your day :)<3

-m.a. 🫁(03/30); aries

This is from last year omg 💀💀💀 I forgot about these!! I'll do the remaining readings!! Please remember now my asks are closed for tarot readings. So only send asks related to gyaru Or anything else or just gossip idk lol 🤣😛✨

The overall relationship would be really not that balanced at all because of busy work schedule, you seem like a person who would enjoy cute dates and attention from your partner like always being with them, attention inna positive way, it's showing that you and his world would just not mix you would miss him and be miserable and if he goes to tours and and has so much stress no matter how kindly you to to make him understand or voice your opinions he would snap and get pissy, Hyunjin's energy is really good but this guy can't juggle two thing at once even tho he has great potential to be the best boyfriend he just can't because he chooses and feels that he is obligated to choose work over romance because he doesn't want anyone to get sarcastic with him, it seems like in the past someone even few members might've joked about something like 'haha look so you so lovesick even during practice' Hyunjin felt left off or just too embarrassed and just laughed it off, it wasn't a big deal, just a joke but maybe that hit him so umm sorry but this relationship seems to drown. You might really like pda or just general physical touches and him being an idol can't do that a lot so it might made you sad a lot. You would feel like you deserve more but he is nice and trying his best so you'e be stuck in this never ending should I leave or not thought process.

Thank you for the ask! 💃🏻✨

Hello, I would like to request a personal reading please. My question is what do I need to know about my love life? My initials are M.M and my pronouns are she/her. My zodiac sign is Leo.

This is from last year omg 💀💀💀 I forgot about these!! I'll do the remaining readings!! Please remember now my asks are closed for tarot readings. So only send asks related to gyaru Or anything else or just gossip idk lol 🤣😛✨

Honestly the cards say that you have either been in a bad relationship in the past or have patterns to fall for people who are bad news, you give too many opportunities to people who just don't matter anymore, there aren't too many messages except that you need to focus on yourself rather than relationship because it will soon come to you and when it does you need to be careful there is someone praying on your relationship downfall, it could be a female friend, cousin, or family member either way this woman is going to be very jealous of your happy relationship because they didn't get that you have so it's better to keep your love life private.

Extra message but reevaluate your friend group again, there is really horrible energy that is lingering with you, it's bad, some or one of your friend is super fake and they aren't giving good vibes.

Thank you for the ask! 💃🏻✨

Gyaru Rant:-

𓇼 ⋆.˚ 𓆉 𓆝 𓆡⋆.˚ ⋆.˚ 𓆉 𓆝 𓆡⋆.˚ 𓇼

I would like to share one harsh truth about being Gyaru in this present era is that gaijin and Japanese Gyarus are so different so very different it's crazy and this is one of the many reasons why gyaru culture is dying in foreign countries, the gyaru in Japan is very much based on just makeup and tan now, since all of the gyaru clothing brands have shut down Japanese gals have also moved on.

Now they just wear casual clothes or very watered down version of their subculture and put a lot of focus on tanning, hair, eye makeup and nails and this is called evolution of gyaru, Japanese gals embrace this change but a lot of foregienrs don't and they still police other new gals with "no ma*rs no gyaru honour roll for you!" And we must stop this!

We have to accept that current Japanese gyaru culture is VERY DIFFERENT and if new gals happen to find them first and follow their style then that is okay too because being gyaru is a state of mind first rather than getting all the checklist done. If gaijin gyarus want to keep the nostalgia of gal brands alive then so be it but before policing other gals especially newbies for the love of this fashion culture please look and maybe even educate yourself on how different gyaru culture is in Japan, please look at the evolution and see how much things have changed and that is okay.

GYARU GUIDE,

MID-PLUS SIZE EDITION:-

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Welcome to yet another post!! Today I'd like to focus on plus size gyaru because let's be real every size deserves to dress the way they want and even Japan's iconic gyaru brands sadly didn't cater to them and the only thing plus size gyaru could buy from these brands were accessories, shoes and scarfs, but they deserve more!

In this post I will be talking about a lot of things from skinny ideal type gyarus to obviously mid-plus size gals, how gyaru has become a toxic fashion culture, the whole ethical and sustainable debate and of course where you can source your clothes from and many more.

Context page:-

Introduction

Background

The Harsh Truth (privilege, living in a bubble, etc)

Problems, are they really tho? (Ethical, overconsumption, fast fashion etc)

Resources (where to buy)

Outro

I have been war with my body for a really long time and it took me so many years to finally love what I saw on the mirror and I have been fluctuating my weight for a long time so I can definitely assure you guys that I can understand and see all perspectives.

Every time I see any posts or something mid size and plus size are always excluded but not anymore, I have few guides and even sites and such to help you girlies and even few criticism and opinions <3

Background:-

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

As we all know the whole purpose of gyaru was and still is to rebel against the norms of societal pressure, especially for Japanese women where topic such as freedom soeech and general personal choices are very considered to be very dire but with the rise of Gyaru and having global celebrity sensation like Namie Amuro and kaoru watanabe popularizing the gyaru concept really helped the youth of Japan express themselves lot freely.

Economic and fashion market saw this as an opportunity and so soon household names that defined gyaru fashion started to erupt like D.I.A, MA*RS, JSG (Japanese super girl), ALBA ROSA, Liz Lisa etc and malls like Shibuya 109 and magazines like ahega, egg etc became the household name for these brands but sadly amidst the uproar and the rise of Gyaru fashion one thing that companies and even magazines to even this day the digital footprint of Gyaru always excludes MID-PLUS size people.

Some of y'all might say "but almost everyone is Japan are really slim so why should they cater to others?" Well the truth is plus size people do exist in Japan but finding that demographic in google is really difficult but when I spent my years in Japan, yea, they do exist and there are good number of them.

It also doesn't help tue fact that even in general there isn't much famous MID-PLUS size models or popular people in Japan the only celebrity who managed to push the way through the harsh and diabolical Japanese entertainment industry is obviously Naomi Watanabe she has been the pioneer for size inclusiveness for many years and it absolutely admirable how she manages to survive such harsh industry where even dating is considered taboo, although I would like to put 2 more honorable mentions to this and they are Dulmi who is Sri Lankan and Japanese model and Miu Tomita (actress) they aren't gyaru by any means but they are definitely tue closest representation of plus size media in Japan and you guys can already make out how few mid-plus size people actually make it a success in Japanese entertainment industry especially if you're a woman.

The Harsh Truth:-

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

I will say few things that will definitely cause a lot of rage but it must be said. We shouldn't live in this rose tinted glass and be real and connect with the reality. Doing any sort of fashion it doesn't even matter gyaru or even Japanese fashion in general but either way when you choose to dress a certain style only and focus on your craft that is called privilege. I don't think people I'm general realize how lucky they are to be able to spend 300$ on a singular iconic bow hair accessory from ma*rs that went on sale on eBay or Zenmarket.

I also don't think people realize how much of a privilege it is to be able to go to thrift stores buy what you like then go to fabric store get your things and tweak your own clothes like that also I don't think people realise how much of a privilege it is that sometimes when other gals try to do something different they shame them and thus it's one of the reason why gyaru is almost dead fashion culture, the toxicity and whole plethora of "oh I know better than you, you are stupid for acting and asking such easy questions" and etc is why new gals are so afraid to ask seasoned gals some advice.

We all started somewhere some early and some late, gals in it's peak were known to be one of the most kindest people and total girls girls to ever exist, their "loud" behavior was just them being unapologetic and having fun, where is this energy now? Especially gaijin gals, most foreginer gyarus know that main reason of gyaru's existence was to refute Japan's traditionalist views and letting women be who they wanna be yet they forget the most basic thing and often shame a lot of gals for not sourcing clothes the "correct way" and even if some gals make mistakes can we all please be kind to each other about it? I have joined and seen multiple YouTube videos, reels, tik toks, even reddit, tumblr, X and even Instagram of new gals and plus size gals literally getting scared and saying "I just keep my mouth shut and google and do my own research because my past experiences of asking were very negative"

Okay, to old gals can we please be welcoming to new gals and not scrutinize them like this? And this doesn't end at just new gals but we have to keep in mind that every single of us have different body types, not all of people can have the privilege to buy of brands because of financial issues or sizing problems so can we as a community please for the love of this fashion culture stop saying such jaded things like "you don't even own one gyaru brands? You aren't real gyaru" and this doesn't just apply to clothes but accessories produced by those brands as well.

Problems, but they really tho? :-

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

over here we take a little philosophical route to be honest, we need to understand and empathize with all sides. I will say something which will case a lot of controversy but it must be said, as someone who has been gyaru follower and started dressing up gyaru quiet early in life and even experienced gyaru in Japan and who practically lived inside Shibuya 109 I can tell you that whole gyaru culture lives off of overconsumption and this is the truth, from well known and very famous subcultures like agejo Or himekaji to very less known and rare subcultures like mode and bohemian everything is and extension of overconsumption like it Or not even if you diy some clothes or such majority of it like hair extensions, brands, makeup to iconic gyaru nail designs everything is a part of overconsumption and you are a willing participant of it, shit! I know I am because I for one can't make my own extensions or wigs ffs and even if I were to make my own nails I'd still have to go out to buy necessary tools for it.

On this topic I'd also like to say another controversial thing and that is we shouldn't really judge people for shopping from fast fashion and here is why because some might have financial issues or live around were there isn't really second hand clothing stores or they are mid-plus size. There might be a debate and I might definitely get comments like "but oh I am big size, poor and live in remote area yet I don't indulge in fast fashion" and that's okay, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it but don't judge without knowing the reason why.

Sure, you might even think "no you are being stupid" but I'd like just for you guys to maybe look into this thing called perspective and maybe get off of your privileged view and look into other perspectives. Being ethical in this era is very difficult with us being the victims of capitalism from the phones we use to even down right food we consume, be it from supermarket or even organic farm. There are many questions to he asked like were our Vegetables grown ethically? Were the pesticides made with ethical ingredients? Did the farmer source the seeds ethically or not? The truth is we can't always be 100% ethical but we can try about best to reduce when we can.

Above reasons are also why I'm always sympathetic towards gals who happen to shop on fast fashion. You and I are blessed and privileged enough to mindlessly spend $$$ on Vivienne Westwood or Sandy Liang but others aren't due to financial issues and just because they are financially unstable doesn't even they can't dream, they also have 100% right to dream and partake in their hobbies and likes. I'll also always have sympathy for gals because finding big sizes in thrift stores can also be a hassle.

In conclusion what I'm trying to say is as bad at it seems not everything is 100% ethical one of the few examples of this is himejaki and tsuyome winter wear usually they wear fur and to be honest vintage real fur is WAY more ethical and environmentally friendly because that fur has been passed down from generation to generation from first manufacturers to family heirloom or given to thrift and someone thrifted it and now using it than faux that we get these days because they aren't ethical AT ALL!!

On the side note thrifting these days also is very difficult due to it being the next new "it" thing and store owners are literally racking up the prices because Veronica from lower East Side, New York wants to buy it and then sell it for 500 or more $$$ in Depop to profit off of literally pre worn and second hand clothes!

The most awaited part of the post is here, so let's begin!! These are some of the few ways that I source my clothes, this applies to not only gyaru clothes but other types of fashion as well like grunge, emo, coquette etc etc. Mind you that gyaru is almost dying fashion community and finding clothes that cater to mid to plus size is difficult but I tried my best and here are few lists that I found by searching and have experience from having buying from these stores.

Instagram stores: there isn't one specific stores that I can recommend because for this you really need to search and look at every single post to see if it fits substyle you're following or not but there are some of the pages that do international shipping. y2xvintage (London Based) , velvethrift (Mexico based) , pepxicola.thrift (Ho Chi Minh based) , pixz_style (Peru based), weirdwearx (Philippines based), gimmeclothingy2k (Thailand based) I must say that not every one of these stores sell only gyaru but I have seen one or few pieces that fit gyaru style and it is difficult to find plus size sizes because they are second hand clothes and they buy in wholesale regardless of size but once you see a plus size clothes they're good and worth money.

Online stores: these are some of the online stores that you guys can visit. Honey wardrobe, punyus Naomi Watanabe's brand (not gyaru by all means but they do have good collection for kogal inspired skirts and few pieces that can go well for rokku gyaru), ank rouge (good selection for hime and himekaji although dresses aren't plus size friendly their poncho and oversized clothes collection is really good) , Dreamvs, Yumetenbo, Tokyo otaku mode (you can search Galaxxxy which is brand for Haady gyaru), Zenmarket and taobao (3rd party shopping) and I will get hate for this but Amazon yea they do have cute accessories like leg warmers and iconic light brown cardigans for kogal and those buckles shoes for kogal, hime and himekaji

Physical store: well for physical store there is only one which is Shibuya 109 and that too if you go to Japan. Sorry there isn't any physical stores in present era that cater to gyaru, although throughout years stores in Shibuya 109 has changed so much and in the recent years the latest I know is this year when I had gone to Japan again and there on the either 4th or top floor i forgot but there is this store called spinns and next to that store is this Gothic and emo store and both spinns and gothic/emo store sell pretty good street style but few belts and accessories can totally work for Tsuyome they have belts for plus size too and few belts even have bedazzled words that lowkey resemble the bling bling visual of iconic D.I.A belts, but i think spinns does have an international site with worldwide shipping as well so check them out.

Other ways: obviously is tweaking here and there and making your clothes, for people who don't know how to the most easiest trick is to find the clothes you wanna change and start small like for example agejo is my favorite subculture so i go ham on animal print or any cute print bows and buy lots of bead string decors from online (Amazon and Instagram wholesale stores) and stick them to my heels, denim skirts and my tops.

hii, hope ir good! so im very new to gyaru and i have some questions i'm sure you can answer.

i really like kogyaru (I'm currently 21+ yrs), but i heard ppl saying you can't be a kogyaru if you're not a teen going to school, is that correct? like, i love the style and I'd like to use inspired clothes instead of a school uniform.

Also, do you have any kogyaru inspired outfits in more casual instances?

thank you so much <3

Hello!! Very nice question actually!!

There is no age limit to dress up in kogal gyaru subculture because gyaru itself is a freedom expression for women to break free from societal pressure and norm.

The whole theme of kogal is based upon school uniforms, when people say "if you are an adult don't dress up in kogal" they are the problem because they think kogal is some sexualized versions of school girls and it also doesn't help the fact that soany eechi mangas and hentai cater to kogal "fantasy" but borderline NO, there is no age limit! Any age can dress up in kogal.

Then again being a gyal is a state of mind rather than spending so much money to buy og brands.

The most important thing about being a gyaru is their iconic droopy eye makeup and confident and kind attitude kind of like meeting random girls in washroom in club and being instantly friends with them <3

As for clothes, it is little difficult and your options are lowkey limited because kogal gyaru subculture is about reinventing school uniforms but if you want it lowkey you can totally wear anything similar to Yukari Hayasaka's uniform from Paradise Kiss. Yukari wears a plaid waist coat too but usually Kogal never wear waistcoat, they usually opt for those loose cardigans or full or half sleeves sweaters but since you're looking for inspired rather than exact I think waistcoat will also look really cute 😋✨. I don't really see kogals of newer generations wearing leg warmers that much but if you want you can definitely wear them if you're trying to look like og kogals from 90's-2000's, idk where you live but since I live inside Asia I can just ho up to any shoe store and ask them for "school shoes" but if you live outside then you can just go to Amazon or any Instagram stores to buy Asian school shoes or just type in buckle ballet flats.

Hope this helps!! Thanks sm for trusting me with giving you advice!! ❤❤❤✨✨✨

A very unfiltered and honest opinion but there is literally no difference between men spending money on phub/onlyfans and women who spend money on "spicy" books or anything trending on booktok. Both of them have horrible 🌽 addiction and no one can tell me otherwise.

Hi

We don't know each other but there's an anon lurking on the kpop tarot tag that goes to each and every account that posts under it

And sends hate messages (sometimes really weird ones). I think I posted some of them but it was a while ago

One of the ways to tell it's THAT anon is because they use lots of cringe emojis

Looks like whoever it is. You're their new obsession, so congrats. You were blessed with your own obsessive stalker

⚠IMPORTANT⚠

Thanks so much for letting me know!! I'll use the tags to let others tarot reads know about this too!!

Everyone be aware of creeps lurking and stay safe. Kpop tarot should be a safe space for only only tarot readers but enjoyers as well!! And sending petty hate when there is -ve message or something you don't want to hear is insane!! We tarot readers don't pick and choose and sogarcoat the messages, we read as we see it.

Thank you for letting me know about this weird creep running around terrorizing not only me but other tarot readers as well!! Stay safe everyone!!

[lilly-chou-chou]

then do it bitch don't leave us hanging n stop talking nonsense

🖕

Hahah lawll!! I'll do my best to not disappear again 😆😆🤣🤣 I am traveling back to home so around 2nd week of November I'll bring back tarot for a while. Anyone who has taort related questions can drop them in my inbox.

I will NOT BE doing kpop or anything related to celebrities. My main focus will be to do personal readings!! 😆😆😆 send them away!! I'll start posting fr 2nd week of November 😈😋😋😈
