the official name for this fashion is: yamamba (hill witch). and funny enough, the japanese ppl themselves borrowed the fashion from western society, and just distorted it...

I'm kinda at a loss...but I can see the appeal in the make-up guides...just not my thing.

I REALLY can't be doing with these freaks that are obsessed with japan. They have em all over the world like a pandemic.

Anyone else think it looks like she's applying blackface?

that's what I thought at first, too. so, the Japanese copied a style that was of whites mimicking/mocking blacks, and now the British are copying the Japanese. it's a whole cycle of 'wtf'

Interesting.

No wait sorry, Terrifying, that was the word I was looking for.

What's up with the sound here?

Ah crap. I actually watched this whole stupid video because I accidentally read the tag "facepaint" as "faceplant". I'm disappointed.

Ganguro is retarded, AND they're doing it wrong. So that takes it to like a whole new level of retarded. In Japan, it's a crazy fringe fashion that is probably viewed as the equivalent of Goth style here...most people don't do it, so that's not really representative of Japanese fashion at all. Idiots like these make me go facepalm.
