Canguro Girls (40 pics)

I dont get iet :\

WTF is a Canguro Girl?

Hmmmmm....not enough make-up.

It's GANGURO girls, not CANGURO -____-"

It looks like a paint explosion at the Bratz factory.

The girl in the first picture is really cute. The rest look hideous. Why such orange makeup?

Ganguro girls use makeup to give themselves the dark skin, with extreme contrasts for the eyes and mouth. The make up is based on an old story of the Black faced Hag or Witch of the mountains.

They are a bit of a minority, however as this post shows, some western girls echo the look for parties and fun with their friends.

I very much doubt if any of them have ever met their future husband in this state though!!

Its one of the many different Street Fashion Styles in Japan. This one is called "Ganguro Gyaru" or "Black Face Girls".
A typical look for a "Ganguro Gal" is to wear brightly colored outfits, mini-skirts, and tie-dyed sarongs. The Ganguro style consists of bleached hair, a dark tan, fake eyelashes, black and white eyeliner, bracelets, earrings, rings, necklaces and platform shoes.

OK I had to google this because I obviously am out of touch with what this ''style" is. What it looks like to me is step one drench yourself 5 or 6 times a day with ''tan in a can" step 2 outline your eyes and cover your lips with some sort of white make up. step three go to the dollar store and buy as much play jewlry as you can.4 empty the bubble gum machines that have the freaky jewlry and plastic colorful knick-knacks and attach them all over your clothes. step 6 get some seriously high platform boots. step 7 wear only rainbow colored outfits. step 8 find other girls that are into the same trend as you and walk around out in public and giggle like little school girls. step 9 Constanty take pics of yourself and your fellow rainbow brite groupies but when you pose(all girls pose now) make it look like you do not know your pic is being taken. step 10 Because you were the first one ever to dress like this (you might actually believe that you were) and now ''everbody " is dressing like this ....start searching for the next fad that will make you look different from all of the ''posers''
out there.

Ganguro appeared as a new fashion style in Japan in the early 1990s and to date is prevalent mostly among young women and women in their early 20s. In ganguro fashion, a deep tan is combined with hair dyed in shades of orange to blonde, or a silver grey known as "high bleached". Black ink is used as eye-liner and white concealer is used as lipstick and eyeshadow. False eyelashes, plastic facial gems, and pearl powder are often added to this. Platform shoes and brightly-coloured outfits complete the ganguro look. Also typical of ganguro fashion are tie-dyed sarongs, miniskirts, stickers on the face, and lots of bracelets, rings, and necklaces.
Ganguro falls into the larger subculture of gyaru (from English "gal"), a slang term used for various groups of young women, usually referring to overly childish or rebellious girls. Researchers in the field of Japanese studies believe that ganguro is a form of revenge against traditional Japanese society due to resentment of neglect, isolation, and constraint of Japanese society. This is their attempt at individuality, self-expression, and freedom, in open defiance of school standards and regulations.[2] Fashion magazines like Egg and Kawaii magazine have had a direct influence on the ganguro. Other popular ganguro magazines include Popteen and Ego System. The ganguro culture is often linked with para para, a Japanese dance style. However, most para para dancers are not ganguro, and most ganguro are not para para dancers, though there are many who are ganguro or gal and dance para para.
One of the most famous early ganguro girls was known as Buriteri, nicknamed after the black soy sauce used to flavor yellowtail fish in teriyaki cooking. Egg made her a star by frequently featuring her in its pages during the height of the ganguro craze. After modelling and advertising for the Shibuya tanning salon "Blacky", social pressure and negative press convinced Buriteri to retire from the ganguro lifestyle.[3]
