Okay, what do you think of this whole gyaru thing that's been going on in Japan for some years now?

In my opinion it's the worst fashion disaster to have stricken earth. The girls look horrible! They look like weird scary puppets who have come to life just to act human...more or less...

I'm just glad the rest of the world hasn't been infected (yet).

This is okay:


But this?!

(for the dutch among us: zwarte pieten )

LOL

Tanooki look is more like it. They look like a mix between blackface, and racoons.

I really don't get why anyone would want to look like that :/

I always feel the same way when women around here dye their hair blond.

Dang, what's wrong with brunettes?

They are blondes at heart.

Looking at the second set of pics, they kind of look like oompa loompas. Like in Willy Wonka.

lol, true.

In Holland we have a tradition before x-mas, where a Sinterklaas (Saint Nickolas, from whom saunta claus was made) and his zwarte pieten give candy and gifts to kids.
Check the zwarte pieten and their similarities with the gyaru:

I think I read about that, seems the character y'all have him based on was a Sultan or something?

No, he was a "saint".

Btw, one of the morning musume members became a gyaru girl and starting making gyaru songs...made the whole gyaru thing pretty famous (more than it already was).
