Well, it all starts back when the Gal/Gyaru styles frist came out.

They were dark. Like, the colour of chocolate bars. They were crazy, like they were a few fries short of a Happy Meal. And most of all, they were different.

The Japanese see the ideal woman as having pale skin, and being well mannered. These girls were not.

I read somewhere, that these girls just wanted to rebel. Stop living the way society wanted them to, and just do what they want.

The Japanese media started running stories about these girls being *****s and what not, as there were cases of it.

Even to this day, when the tan has been lightened, and the personalities toned down, they still have a bad rep. Flip through EGG magazine, pretty much the Gal Bible. One of the oldest Gal magazines, if not the oldest. Anyways, in pretty much every issue, they talk about things like how to give *******s, and other sexual things.

On top of that Gals were known to drop out of high school and/or run away from home. This happens a lot with Manba, as seen in a semi-recent video, chronicling the lives of Angeleek, the most respected Gal Circle.

Anything else?

@Fabulous: I'm not 100% sure if it's true, although I have heard that.

@sora: Yeah, I know that too, but I was talking about Japanese fashion, so I thought I'd avoid confusion and just talk about the Japanese. I have a friend who is from Laos and all she can talk about is how "dark and ugly" she is and how she wants to be pale.

I've never used ebay, but I'd be willing to try to buy that package! Throw in sifow's signature, and I'd totally beg my mum for her credit card... unless you get back after May 30, in which case I'd totally have my own.

You know, I was wondering... Does anyone know anything about sifow's parents or family? Like, what did/do they do for a living? How did sifow get interested in music? Were/are her parents supportive of her business/music career? I realized I don't really know a whole lot about sifow other than what's on her last.fm bio and whatnot and was just curious if anyone knew some not-so-well-known stuff about her.
