This cover looks so old, like Ranzuki issues I have from a few years ago.

I only have internet through my iPhone for a little while. I'm grabbing Internet where I can, but I won't have time to read posts/write articles or much of anything until Friday or maybe Monday. I usually try to respond to stuff quickly, so I just wanted to throw this out there so I don't look too irresponsible.

I don't even think that's spelled right, but my phone won't fix it. Whatever. I'll keep you guys updated!

I’m sitting here in the Student Union at my old university, because I have no internet at my place!!! I was using my neighbor’s internet for months, but they finally found out, or moved, or something. Hopefully this only makes me way more efficient, since I only have a small period of time on the internet a day. Anyway, back to Ageha.

This style is becoming insanely popular, with a lot of other magazines like it seeming to pop up everywhere. I don’t like it, as you already know, but for those of you that do, I say enjoy it!

Quick Update

2009-10-06T15:53:47Z

Originally published at lovepinkcross. You can comment here or there.

I’m sure a lot of you have been wondering what is up with me since I haven’t written in over a week or so. I got very sick and wasn’t even able to go to work. (They wouldn’t let me!) Luckily, I still have a bit of time to catch up with October trends before big wool coats and cute fuzzy scarves and hats take over fall and pull us into winter.

Well, I have 6 lovely magazines (including Popsister) to plow through in the next two weeks, plus videos. That leaves one weekday for whatever I feel like ranting about, or rest. I’m going to go get some brunch, then start writing.

Fall and winter always seems to bring around a tough girl style. Lets see how my favorite magazine chooses to interpret it!

I have a LOT of magazines to go through, and some other articles I want to write, as well as various other gal things. I’m telling myself that if I just do a little more each day, I’ll be on my way.

But you don’t care about that! You want to see some scans!

I’ve gotten a lot of love and links lately, and I want to say thanks for that. In my super busy world, that really keeps me motivated. I’ve been working pretty much non-stop since my vacation in order to get some things done for the store, but honestly, all the stress has just pushed me to get tougher and get my act together. I’ll try my hardest to make consistent posts for you guys!

I don’t know whether I’ll continue reviewing Popsister. The whole magazine is now dedicated to Shibuhara style, which is a mix of Gyaru (from Shibuya) and a style that is unique to Harajuku that used to be considered Decora, but has evolved in to something else that probably has another name. I like the idea, but like Hime, it’s a style that a lot of people are going to believe is more strongly up to interpretation because it is a mix of styles. I’m a very cut and dry kind of person who loves rules, and I think I’ll probably get in an argument with someone about how I feel the style should be done.

Also, the only real gauge I have of what you guys like is based on how many hits it receives. With that, I see that the magazine reviews are by far the most popular (with Ageha and Popteen being the most popular magazines) but the videos and articles seem to receive the most comments. What do you like about this site? What sort of things would you like to see added or see less of?

But leave me your comments about Shibuhara, whether I should review Popsister, or the site in general. Again, I continue to be AMAZED at how many people say they enjoy what I do. When I first got into gal style, I obsessed over the Egg magazines I would get in the mail, trying to have the hair, clothes, even eyebrows! I would start from their shoes or hair and ask myself “What do these all have in common?” and I’d try my hardest to find the same things here in little bitty Arkansas. I want to do the same in these magazines so it doesn’t seem so overwhelming to any of us.

I don’t really have the time to record a video today, so here is a cool one I found on making a bow out of your own hair.

Pondering.

2009-09-09T13:55:39Z

I have a lot more people becoming my lj friend nowdays, and I appreciate that. I know it's mostly because this is now just an RSS feed of my wordpress blog which features gal magazines.

I also like looking at blogs like Pin's or Monica's that just feature themselves being beautiful, and I wondered if you guys would like to see more of me than just a video every Friday.

If so, should this be separate? Should I only post it on livejournal, use my original wordpress, or use a completely different blog like ameblo or tumblr?

Why no one likes Manba anymore

2009-07-31T15:40:27Z

Originally published at lovepinkcross. Please leave any comments there.

I’ve heard a lot of talk lately about why manba shouldn’t be considered a dying style. People don’t understand why no one likes it so much anymore, or why it’s never featured in magazines and the like. I have some theories, and I’d like to share them with you all.

Creating A Daily Gal Wardrobe – What’s your life like?

2009-07-14T20:34:20Z

Originally published at lovepinkcross. You can comment here or there.

I’ve started washing all of my clothes that I haven’t really gotten a chance to wash before because I didn’t have my own machine. I realized something amazing by doing a few loads a day.

I have a lot of clothes!

Even though I have a lot of things, I always feel like only certain pieces are “gal” enough, or are something I really want to wear. Other times, I want to wear something, but don’t seem functional enough for what I’m doing. I want to buy different stuff, but I feel guilty having so many clothes already!

I know you all feel the same way. Don’t you dream of having the money to go and get all new cute stuff? To completely start your wardrobe over? Me too!

Maybe we can’t do that all at once, but we can whip our closets into shape by first looking at ourselves. What’s our life like?

{a picture was going to go here, but my left eye is having an allergic reaction and I can’t wear eye makeup. actually, I’ll probably have to toss all my eye makeup. guess that’s good for you, because I’ll do product reviews.}

What are all the activities you do in your waking life? Honestly, this activity showed me just how boring I am, as 40 hours are spent at work, and probably only 5-10 hours are parties or get-togethers. The rest is either me at home or out shopping or casually hanging out. But you probably lead a better life than me, so your plan will be better!

That’s about 40% at work and a little less than 10% parties, with 30% being casual wear and 20% or so being home wear. You can get detailed with this if you wanted, but as long as you have a dedicated grasp of what things you would wear for each area, you are probably good.

Now~ Look at how many things in your closet fit the balance of lifestyle that you actually wear.. Most of the stuff, we don’t wear, or isn’t right for the occasions we live in. That’s why we feel so overwhelmed by our closets!

Activity!

Today, lets look at our closets. What is the one item you love the most that fits into your lifestyle and makes you feel gyaru or gyaru-o? I’ll post my favorite work piece tomorrow with the next step in our closet makeovers! <3

I got an email from one of my favorite stores today, Wet Seal, saying I could get free shipping on all orders today. I may just have to look around and see if I can find any pants or skirts I like, since I feel like I’m lacking there!

Lashes Found! :D

I found some lashes!

I bought these Ardell brand lashes when I bought my bleach at Sally’s. I’ve heard good things about these, and I think they are very cute. There are a ton of different styles, which made it very hard for me to pick one. The “demi wispies” won my heart.

The box says 100% european human hair. lol.

I’m also wearing my contacts. I love the color that I bought this time, but they aren’t as comfortable as the ones I bought last time from Secret Eyes. Definitely ordering from them next time instead of from livejournal.

Quick Picture Post

I’m going to sound like a total jerk here, but I love my hair. Look at that stuff! I just woke up, brushed it out a little, and sprayed it with hair spray. (I need to bleach it again though.) Envy it!!

Anyway, tell me something you like about yourself, ask questions about hair to me or anyone else who reads these, or comment in some other way that keeps this from looking like a vain cop-out post because I had to close the store last night and I’m about to head back to work now.

I’m counting on you guys to make this post worthwhile! Don’t let me down people!
