average fashion trends last about as long as their attention span...
probably in the range of several hours and growing shorter each day.....

Galsoops posts new photos of Ko-gals twice a month (So they do exist you just must have been at the wrong place at the wrong time and/or never in front of 109,) , speaking of Galsoops tho, they just updated their Oct #2 , check it out (it's a lot more toned down, a lot saner.)

After seeing those pictures, I feel the urge to run away screaming.

When thinking of Japan, I don't think of Christina Spears-esque, pop, preppy, clown-make-up-covered, like, totally, oh my God, for real, like, seriously-girls.

...Is the stupidity of my country really spreading to Japan? That'd be a shame. If it keeps up, in about 100 years, the prime minister of Japan will be an action-hero actor superstar. With big muscles and a trillion dollars. And an Austrian/Hungarian/whatever accent. And the president of mine will be a contest winner. Which was televised on Fox.

Not sure which is scarier. Girls that make themselves over like that who actually think they are being "trendy" or those guys that actually find them attractive.

It reminds me of that one Saturday Night Live episode with Eddie Murphy in the skit "White like me," where he makes himself over as a white man and sees the different treatment he gets....

Where Eddie's skit shows some inventive ways to get ahead in the world, the Ganguro gals I feel have gone the other way.....

Excellent episode den4. These girls can be scary. I saw one just the other day here in Novi. That is a city in the detroit metro area with a high Japanese population. I was set quite aback.

I know this wasn't a good movie, but has anyone seen duce biggalo, male jiggalo? There's a scene where this African american guy is actually white and he looked like a puppet.

I guess the latest trends are using galmoji on their cell phones...but watching today's news, even that is old hat...now...

Can't wait for the new trend to come out for the attention deficit youths:

Let's MyEngrishgalguymojigotchidancing

With this new pattern, peepo will be sending fragmentary sentences using gal/guy moji and combining it into engrish so that even native engrish speakers won't be able to deciper the code without the secret decoder ring found in specially marked packages of cereal boxes, and by using funky virtual pets of the no longer fashionable Tamagotchi days, they'll have a new neo-fashionable trendy gadget to amaze their friends and confuse all of the adults around the world...

Then, set it to the funky lyrics of Danceman, the Weird Al of Japan, they'll be able to go into covert missions for the US State Dept and Japan's SDF forces into regions considered dangerous because nobody will understand what they are relaying except for those individuals themselves and no hacker will be able to break the code, since the variants will change by the hour, like most J-fashion trends do....

Ok....maybe I've just gone off the deep end...but that's ok....can't be any worse than any other young person in J-land right now....

I love Weird Al, and to have a Japanese version is even better...lol

Don't worry; we have big and long ropes to pull you back from the dark abyss of your tweaked psyche. (^_^)

Engrish is soooo great. Have you checked out:

engrish.com is one of the favored sites for den4s....
the lyrics of Danceman is another....J-version of Weird Al....
although you do have to tolerate a lot of disco tunes, though...

size and length of ropes do not bring back a tweaked psyche...once in the abyss, there is no turning back...and not all abysses are dark....

get enough stupid people together and they can seem to glow in their own special way...lol and on the other hand, the lack of brains kinda creates a black hole effect.

Hmm...seems that you've been in that abyss, too, I see....
maybe that's why the ganguro gals want to tan themselves...because it makes them feel closer to that abyss than they could otherwise feel in their natural color....

nah, most girls just want to have fun....

and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to have fun...come to think of it, I wonder how many rocket scientists know what fun is?

I am wafting through in a blinding spiral now. I love people.
Think you're getting along and then you get blind-sided by
a slap in the face that feels like a Mac truck!!! I am not
bitter at all though! LOL

Enough Rambling

Back to my black hole!!!! I have to find myself a Rocket Surgeon
or a Brain Scientist to have me some fun, lol

YIKES!!!!

Don't see any of that up here. Up here it's all about FUBU and wearing your hat sideways with outrageous makeup. Not enough sun up here for that.

Man, those are some scary chicks. However, this one is pretty cute.
