Poupee Girl・プーペガール
09 June 2010
I found this wonderful cute site for fashion and sharing fashion among other "gyarus" called Poupee Girl. For those of you who don't know what a 'gyaru' is, it means 'girl' (or gal) but pronounced in Japanese, the katakana becomes 'gyaru'... however, 'gyaru' connotes a girl anywhere between the ages of just exploding puberty and starting to wear and tear around the face midlines.... (omg like ME ALL THE TIME.. {puts on some Oil of Olay Regenerative cream, yeah!}) These girls are always in style and wearing the most fashionable things, but they aren't celebs or anything, just your regular ordinary high school, college or next door neighbor girl wearing and accessorizing to no end.
It's a fun little site because in sharing fashion and whatnot, you can also collect 'points' in the form of jewels and ribbons, and with those points, buy little vector clothing/fashionables for your avatar. It's totally like the paper dolls from the 80s that you could dress up and cut out more clothes to dress them up except online and with more variety. Of course, on Poupee Girl, you can actually 'buy' stuff with real money but who wants to do that when you can get stuff for free (for your avatar).
