Hello dears, today I'll speak about gyaru in Italy.
Like some of you know gyaru style was unknown since last year, where the majority of the circles born. Some people of course followed gyaru style before that "boom" but the major impact was at the beginning of last year (or really late 2010). By the way I wanna show how gal developped in just one year, I'll show how many gals (more or less XD) there were in italy (in each region) with a unknown circle or just theirselves and how the situation is now.
Firstly: Gyaru Situation before 2010
And now Gyaru Situation since late 2010 - beginning 2011 to now.
Dunno how but the situation changed a lot, of course is better (sometimes worst but doesn't matter lol). The situation isn't changed at all if you can see that the majority of the gals live in the north, and cities like Milan are full of gal (but the majority of them follow the style in our own, withouth join or create any circle), but also in the south (and in the center as well) the situation changed a lot, before in a few regions there were gals, now the situacion changed a lot. Cities like Rome or Neaples now increased with a lot of gals that hang out. But other things changed, these since the "boom" that gal style had here in Italy
DECREASEMENT
1. Gal Circles
Since one of the biggest drama ever last summer a lot of circles (also some unknown or nago circles) disbanded or decided to don't create any blog or any page for promoting theirselves. Some of them (that anyone could compare as a nago circle) don't want to be nominated as a circle (even not nominated as a gal) and just hang out, like friends when they have time to do it.
2. Gyaru-o
Also before the "boom" some gyaru-o (or boys that trying japanese street style and late discovered gyaru-o) hang around with gals, here in our country, althought there're some boys that try gyaru-o style (the majority are nerds or otaku or cosplayer) almost all of them disappeared and now is seriously difficult to find a real gyaru-o. Honestly, I dunno why but is a thing that I noticed also before the "boom". There were not a lot but some... now almost disappeared, or that follow their styles in our own.
INCREASEMENT
1. Gyaru that do their stuff on their own.
Since the boom of this style was really important meet someone with this passion, since we're a few join in a circle meant be finally in a group of girls where you can do what you always wanted but in a group, not alone but together. Things, with drama, changed a lot and a lot of girls choose to follow the style in their own, sometimes with a blog, sometimes just hanging out with friends, sometimes just trying japanese street style they got influenced by gals here in Italy but do all in their own.
2. "Secret" Circles (LOL)
I'm not kiddin' XDDD, I find it hilarious but anyone can do the choices that they want to do. Since last autumn a few "secret" circles born, of course their names aren't so secret, some of them create the page or a blog, but some don't do neither that. These circles (the majority of those nago-sa but a few secret for a bit time prepairing for become an ive circle) aren't much nominated in italian gal community for the simply reason that in the majority of them you don't even know who are the members of the group, sometimes you know just 2-3 members but not the name of the group, sometimes just the leader decide to show him/herself but not his/her members (?!). Since our circle wants to be an ive circle we aren't against "secret" circles (that are the opposite of us) but honestly I don't understand the meaning of this, since there is nothing wrong with a circle. The reasons could be drama, or lack of confidence or this kind of stuffs.
By the way, althought increasement or decreasement of our country we, that don't want to belong to one of the two communities here in italy but born and raised in Italy of course everyone picked us as an italian circle, really wanted to show a pieces of our country, our situations (good or bad, normal or weird XD) this is Italy, Italy's Gyaru. There're a lot of girls really unknown and I hope that you all people, that when you search something related to gal in Italy just found us or "other circles" try to search more and found some nice girls (with no circle) that althought drama they do their best as a gal. Here some random photos, the girls are our leader's friends on FB that follow gal style,
That's it for today, see you babies.
