Welcome to Rainbow Chiffon! This blog will contain blog entries about stuff I feel like sharing with the Gyaru community or my other friends who are interested in fashion! Feel free to comment or email me! I love meeting new people!
Also, this is where I talk about Yelping/reviewing restaurants with Billy, my baked goods, and stuff that I've cooked. ♥
I've written about J-Chola before but I've decided to check on it again to see if it's still popular or if it was just a passing fad.
From what I can gather: it's still going strong! Okay, so maybe not that strong or as strong as the more obvious but it doesn't seem that Tumblr blog isn't short on J-Chola pictures (up and including that beautiful hairstyle up above). Although, there's still only a few Japanese bloggers who actually document this: vida (she even types in a little Spanish), MoNa aka Sad Girl (including a DJ named, would you believe it, DJ PaCo), and Yuu Irie.
Honestly, I'm just fascinated by them. As a Latina interested in Japanese fashion, I actually kind of want to reach out to some of the J-Chola out there and meet them. However, I'll probably have more luck if go around Los Angeles moreso than Arizona, of course. But who knows?
Sadly, since I can't speak Japanese and barely any Spanish, and I'm not sure about their English proficiency I don't think I'll ever get to talk to them.
And it seems that someone is buying anap's Latina as you can tell from here: anap Latina. Although, truth to be told, I really do like this version of the cat beanie!

The nickname is Lily. Born in August 27, 198(X) (which makes her a Virgo & a Fire Rabbit). Currently in Arizona, United States.
Other interests include watching anime, reading manga, writing, video games, baking, listening to Japanese & Korean music, tweeting, sleeping, learning about technology, writing, and others she can't remember.
Kinda shy, kinda quiet. Gets grumpy when hungry or sick. Can be critical towards others but generally very nice and has patience. Otherwise, she likes to have fun, eat, joke around, talk crap about music idols, and sleep. She's nice 99.9% of the time unless she's having one of those days.
This blog started out as a school project in April 2012 but soon became an addiction!
As with most Gyaru blogs, I'm going to do reviews!
Disclaimer
The reviews I leave are strictly my opinion as well as to be considered constructive criticism. My intention is not to come off as harsh, mean, rude or as an attacker but to give the item or store a (hopefully) fair judgement based on my experiences and knowledge.
If you have any questions, comments, or if you want me to review your products, feel free to contact me!
The purpose of “Quick Look-Through” is to, well, quickly look through an online shop that sells to Gyarus all over the world without actually having to buy anything. I would, of course, want to review those when I do manage to get it but until then…
I’m going to be blunt: I don’t have any money to spend on these Gyaru online shops. As much as I want to, there’s just no way I can do it now or maybe even in the future. Or in the odd time that I do have money, I’m rather picky about what I expect and want from these shops. Great navigation, good colors, awesome products with affordable prices and the likelihood of reaching an international market (let’s be real here – we Gyarus come from all over the world).
I will only look through online stores that at least have an English option.

It is understandable if you have any questions, comments, or inquiries. Please feel free to leave a comment or contact me and I will get back to you.
These are past websites that I have done a Quick Look-Through of. They're in alphabetical order.
There are just especially important memories that I've shared with everyone on Rainbow Chiffon! They're going to be organized by the year (top being the most recent).
Past restaurants that Billy and I have been to before. This is just a collection of reviews. They're going to be organized by the year (top being the most recent).
