Kuro Gyaru Ni Natta Kara Shinyuu To Yatte Mita
Okay, so picture this. I went full kuro gyaru. Like, the whole nine yards. Dark tan, bleached hair, the works.
Naturally, I dragged my bestie along for the ride. Misery loves company, right? And frankly, she needed a makeover anyway.
First Stop: Tan City
The tanning salon was...an experience. My friend looked like a lobster escaping a butter factory. I, on the other hand, was channeling my inner desert goddess.
Must Read
She kept complaining about the smell. I told her to embrace the coconut. It's the smell of transformation, darling!
This might be unpopular, but I think everyone should try a spray tan at least once. Just for the sheer ridiculousness of it.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow (Blonde!)
Next up: bleaching our hair. Let's just say it involved a lot of screaming and promises of deep conditioning treatments.
My friend's hair turned a delightful shade of banana yellow. Mine? Closer to a rusty orange. Good times.
Don't @ me, but I think damaged hair looks kind of cool. It’s like, rebellious hair. Hair with a story.
The Wardrobe Overhaul
Time to raid the nearest fast-fashion store. Think mini skirts, platform boots, and enough accessories to blind a small village. We were going for kuro gyaru, not wallflower.
My friend kept reaching for neutrals. I practically slapped her hand. "No! Embrace the neon! Embrace the sparkle!"
Unpopular opinion: animal print is a neutral. Fight me.
Make-Up Mayhem
The makeup was... intense. We're talking heavy eyeliner, fake eyelashes that could double as wind turbines, and enough glitter to single-handedly save the arts and crafts industry.
My friend accidentally glued her eyelid shut. I nearly choked on my lip gloss trying not to laugh. It was a bonding experience, really.
Another unpopular opinion: less is never more. More is more. Always.
Public Reaction
Walking down the street was... interesting. We got stares. We got giggles. We even got a marriage proposal (for me, thankfully).
My friend hid behind her sunglasses. I, of course, posed for selfies with bewildered tourists. You gotta own it, people!
I secretly think people are just jealous. They wish they had the guts to rock a look like this.
The Aftermath
So, what did we learn from our kuro gyaru adventure? My friend learned that she actually looks surprisingly good in neon pink.
I learned that I can rock a tan better than I thought, and that I am totally addicted to the whole process. And maybe, just maybe, that I am a bit of an enabler.
Final thoughts
Don’t get me wrong. The whole process was exhausting. But it was also hilarious. We created memories that will last forever.
Would I do it again? Absolutely. Maybe we'll try decora next time. Or perhaps we’ll even get matching face tattoos.
Embrace your inner weirdo. Life's too short to be boring.
