Know your Gyaru.

Hey Guys,

I seriously need to stop doing this to myself. But I was on YouTube watching a marathon of Buzzfeed videos and they had one particular one about Japanese subculture styles. Man that video was bomb, I really loved it and of course they asked "What subculture do like you?". This one person said "Moe," I had a FYI moment, Moe is apart of Anime (Akihabara) culture. The only thing I forgot to add with that post (Moe Effect) was the maids saying "Moe Moe Kyun." Anyways, This other person was talking about Ganguro and how Amuro was apart of it. I had another Facepalm moment. When I was trying to shed knowledge on the differences in styles within Gyaru this other person, who was into Kuro-gal thought I was talking about Gyaru as whole but clearly I was talking about Ganguro. Apparently, this is common in english speaking countries, Gyaru is commonly mistaken for Ganguro, but that is actually a subculture of Gyaru. This has made me really want to do more content on Gyaru but thank god school is out plus, I made promise with Lisha that I will get back into it. So, I guess that's my New Years Resolution.

Then try these yoga poses for a minute each:
