Fabulously Free in SL











{July 3, 2008}   The Look: Ganguro

This blog is going to be a little different. There was a really odd reaction to the Ganguro skin that I wore for the 4th of July blog that was about Barerose. The Ganguro skin is actually a perfect representation of what a Ganguro skin should look like. I decided to go and put together a Ganguro look using the skin as my starting base.

I headed over to GuRL 6 first because I knew that her variety of hair textures would have the perfect color I was looking for. I selected the Kaycee style for its pink bands and the color I settled on was GoldenBlonde for it subtle brownish highlights. For accessories, I headed over to Woo’s to grab the bangle set and earring set that have zebra striped with hot pink accents.

For a shirt I headed over to Marinoco Fashion and grabbed the Sweetie Pie top from their freebie wall. It was pink, sweet, and just what I was looking for. For the shorts to go with it, I headed to Coconut Ice for the butterfly shorts in the freebie pack. For the socks I headed over to Style Your Destiny and in the freebie box is a pair of multi-pink striped socks. I knew that the legwarmer boots in pink from Katat0nik would be perfect to finish the basic look.

Very cute, Cher! I at first thought the ‘controversy’ might have been what bothered an AnotherSkin modifier-designer recently, but I’m glad it more had to do with someone being a tad silly. Considering that the look is intended, to my understanding, rebel against traditional Japanese concepts of beauty, I would presume that the tans are spray-on rather than excessive bed-tanning.

Yes, cute look and great post!

You know it best, Cher ;-)



Terry, from what I can understand it can be either, but is often brown makeup.
