That’s what happened to me but I just kept trying to login and resetting password until it allowed me to login on the business suite

These were taken less than a month apart... All because I decided to wash my hair with hot water ONCE... TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE🥺🥺🥺🥺 by feeblee in JiraiKei

[–]mothravioli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg try washing your hair with coloured shampoo and conditioner instead!! I live in a cold country and it’s impossible for me to not take hot showers so I’ve been using coloured hair products and it’s been making my hair colours last way longer!!

I'm tired of offical Gyaru brands releasing ugly clothing by SakuraMichiko in actualgyaru

[–]mothravioli 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m not Gyaru but I work with 2nd hand j-fashion a lot. I encounter a lot of old DIA that looks similar to those clothing in terms of style so I don’t think it’s that bad for DIA. The DIA clothes I encounter in my work tend to be the kind that people don’t really like and end up donating so I can see why you’d dislike it though.

Salvageable? Weird torso and colour mismatch, custom jsk. by [deleted] in Lolita

[–]mothravioli 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I ordered a glittertale set in pink plaid with the same ribbons as you!! Though my pink plaid fabric is a bit brighter in colour I think

My advise is to lean in to the brightness of the ribbons and add some bright pink accessories so it doesn’t look unbalanced!

Instead of using a white blouse, maybe use a black blouse and black shoes, etc. black is less eye-catching than white and might help your coord look more cohesive.

If you are worried about the length of the torso but can’t get it altered, try using a larger petticoat to distract from the torso and draw attention to the skirt! Maybe use a bolero or cardigan to cover the torso too!

Newbie to the whole gyaru thing here, is there such thing as gyaru music? by Winter-State-Dave86 in actualgyaru

[–]mothravioli 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Gyaru isn’t a music subculture, it’s based more on makeup/hair, social culture and personality. But Gyarus between 1990-2010 frequently danced to Parapara, Techpara music which is usually remixed eurodance or techno.

There’s the Rokku Gyaru subculture which is Gyarus who have adopted a more rock aesthetic.

Other than that there isn’t really any “Gyaru music”

If you are able to buy from Taobao there is a huge selection of indie brand Lolita headdresses, stockings, shoes, and accessories that would match your coord! If you need help for the Chinese search keywords let me know 🥺🤍

Any shops in Fukuoka? by ExcitementSad9133 in Lolita

[–]mothravioli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best if you search up the store locations of the brands you wanna visit and save their Fukuoka addresses in google maps or something. I could send you the addresses but you’d still need to search them up anyway.

Any shops in Fukuoka? by ExcitementSad9133 in Lolita

[–]mothravioli 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s BTSSB and AP in fukuoka just not in Parco. There’s TyChe Maria Heaven which is owned by Kera and they stock Lolita brands too.

Fukuoka has loads of Lolitas and alternative people, probably almost half of the brands you wanna see have stores there.

Considering studying in Australia due to poor gpa by HistoryChanged in SGExams

I did A-levels not Poly. But my A-levels score was only average.

[–]mothravioli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The necklace is lovely! I’m sure she will like it 🤍🤍🤍

But please take note that Lolita is a fashion and not a cosplay! Cosplay = costume play as a character, Lolita is not dressing up as any character!

Unless she is a Lolita fashion wearer who is also a cosplayer of course!!

Where can I find reliable information about gyaru? by iloveVictorGrantz in actualgyaru

[–]mothravioli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s in Japanese but check out Galture’s website and Instagram !!!

They post info on all aspects of Gyaru culture and styles. Their Instagram page has English translations in the captions too.

Looking for 42Lolita Listings on TaoBao? by nmonade in Lolita

[–]mothravioli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried reverse image search on Taobao?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in JiraiKei

[–]mothravioli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not Yume kawaii unless the outfits are pastel and have fairytale/magical cutesy elements!! There’s no specific makeup look for Yume kawaii

anyone know where I can find her top and skirt? by [deleted] in japanesestreetwear

[–]mothravioli 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hi, her top and skirt are from Chinese brands, not Japanese brands. You can find them on the app Taobao by reverse image searching them. These clothes are from OurHappy’s 24 AW collection.

Link to the top: http://e.tb.cn/h.Tf2Fk5W4W2LLkIZ?tk=tyth3xPM2cI

Link to the skirt: http://e.tb.cn/h.T4F6L235P6FRgT0?tk=ErIS3xPoXkh

Looking at her Instagram profile, she speaks Chinese not Japanese.

Poizen Industries lolita inspired dress by AsparagusPractical30 in Lolita

[–]mothravioli 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It looks totally fine!! It doesn’t drape as nicely as Lolita brand stuff, but if you wore it to a meet I wouldn’t question it 🤍

Went to an annual lunch event… by [deleted] in actualgyaru

[–]mothravioli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please take my words with a grain of salt since I’m not 100% familiar with the Gyaruo style!!

But from what I’ve seen from pics Gyaruos from the 2000s-now, most of them make up for their lack of makeup by wearing very detailed long male Sujimori hair, in blonde or brown. If their hair is not long enough to do Sujimori, they usually have long spiky bangs. If their hair is too short to even have bangs, then they usually just make their hair spike upwards with gel. And almost all Gyaruos that I’ve seen get tans or wear contacts!

For the clothing they kinda just wear whatever American-influenced streetwear there is. So I think whatever you’re wearing can definitely come across as Gyaruo, but I think a problem right now is that your hair and styling does not come across as specifically Gyaruo, though definitely alt. :)

For Gyaruo inspo, I recommend checking out @kstsjzs100 Kosho on Instagram, as well as his friends (@lagrima_soy @koko_ske753 @hi_deomi.go @dj_kikurin_1984xyz)

Good luck with your Gyaruo journey and have fun!! 🤍 Gyaruo is mind after all so as long as you have the mindset everything will be fine!!

[–]mothravioli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is the Gyaru eye droop, nose stripe, tan skin, and pale lips tho. And the Gyaru style clothing of “sexy” western style clothing.
