I have nothing against that trend/fashion.

I also don't have anything against tan people, considering I live in Hawaii.

But this is just going a tad bit overboard..

What do you think?

LOL! My dream was to always meet one!! But they are so out of fashion almost no one does it anymore D=

Everyone that was young and did it got married and settled into a 'traditional' lifestyle.

Now, I could just as easily look this up on Wikipedia, but...
Let me ask you guys. What are Ganguros? Are they the ones that I was talking about the other day who gave Japan a world-wide bad rap because of how they would skip school, dress strange and slightly provocatively, and walk up to married men and entice them for sex?

I'm with you guys on the "I'm not against it" thing, but it REALLY isn't for me. The first time I learned about Ganguros was from reading the 1st manga of Peach girl. I didn't really know about how popular it was till now though.

Oh well, fashion is fashion I guess! heart

It is apparently a imitation of Black or Tan people and Barbie. They are also going against traditional Japanese society.

For those who would like to know more about it.
