Latinamerican influence in gyaru subculture! (UPDATED)

Imagen
It's Talia again! Many of my readers know that I'm studying sociology, making me an awful over-analist girl when it's comes to urban tribes and cultural expression. Everytime I think about something I try to research about it, and after trying to research the history of tanning, I'm making this entry to anylise the latinamerican influence in gyaru subculture because I often see references to Latin America and it makes me so happy! (if you ask what happened with the history of tanning, every article in Google Scholar was almost only about tanning and its relationship with skin cancer or about tanning leather). Y'all know I'm from Chile, which makes me latin american (I'd rather to say latin american than latina because it specifies more clearly where I'm from, because to say only latino/a/e because the term 'latin' can apple to other cultures that speak any language derived from Latin, including european cultures), so whatever I see that looks kin

Entonces agradezco que haya salido a la Harajuku de este semestre. Para esta instancia, fui de gyaru noventera, donde me hice una chaqueta albarosa MÁS FALSA QUE LA CRESTA pero oye, realmente parece una XD. Si necesitan saber dónde la conseguí (parecerá publicidad pero no me pagan sí) es el polerón sherpa blanco y negro de Index (en Ripley), están vendiendo ese y cuando lo ví me enamoré, ¡parece de albarosa! Entonces solo lo modifiqué un poco para que pareciese chaqueta y así presumir en la Harajuku MIREN MIREN TENGO CHAQUETA ALBAROSA MIRENME MIRENMEEE. Adoré esta HFW, puede que haya habido mucho -demasiado- frío, pero nunca antes me sentí tan acompañada: el primer HFW que fui estaba tsuyome, pero casi ni habían gyarus, mi mejor amiga me acompañó ese día entonces me ayudó
