    wtf... japanese fashion

    this is from Egg Magazine which showcases a specific style in japan. not sure if this style is still around in Japan - but... wtf...

    the style is called Ganguro (ガングロ; "Black Face Girls")
    can you guess why?

      I've seen this, but thought it was a imitation of a bad tan and not a revival of the BlackFace movement from the 1830's.

      You should go onto Wikipedia and update the topic for "Modern day manifestations" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacking_up]

      Maybe Japan was just being fashion forward since it looks like Vogue just caught on [http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2009/10/09/bpr.philippines.red.cross.gordon.cnn]
