We're Western girls trying to be Japanese girls, trying to be Western - it seems like a funny circle to go around.

Toni, a 21-year-old British girl who has got caught up in the Japanese “manba” fashion style, which involves devotees wearing dark tans, white make-up around their eyes and hair that is often a combination of neon colors. (BBC)

    I saw this on the BBC - there was a boy done up as a manba, with long pink and blonde hair. Really weird. And the make-up was more extreme than anything I've ever seen in Japan.

    The more they slap on the outside, the less there seems to be on the inside.

    I saw a gaijin chara-o dude walking around town the other day, complete with bleached mullet, skinny jeans, black wife-beater and abundant cheap jewelry.

    Also met a gaijin host once, with massive coiffed hair, huge sunglasses at night, an LV pocket pouch, and a short-skirted kyaba-jo hoochy in tow(also with gigantic hair)

    Made my day.
