Visiting CBGB&OMFUG

June 14, 2018

Earlier this year, I had a chance to go to New York City. My one goal was to go to the John Varvatos store where CBGB&OMFUG used to be. As a music history buff and fan, for lack of a better word, I was initially upset at the fact that anyone would have the gall to destroy CBGB&OMFUG and not consider it a historical landmark of sorts. Then again, my disappointment with how things turned out for the Chelsea Hotel would only indicate that CBGB&OMFUG would be no exception to the long list of things that would make me wish I had lived in the era when both of these places were at their peak.

Outside.

I took an Uber to this location after realizing that New York City driving is the equivalent of driving in Mexico City (both of which I’ve done and both make me a nervous wreck). Even though I was mentally prepared to hate everything about the area, I found that it was completely the opposite. Being on the Bowery… Seeing the Blondie mural, though not as exciting as it would have been to see Joey Ramone’s mural had it not been painted over to the current Blondie one… Even standing right outside of 315 Bowery; I couldn’t believe I was there. Fast forwarding to exiting the John Varvatos store, I crossed the street and went for a drink and dessert at Ghost Donkey. I sh!t you not, everything about this trip, in this specific location, was amazing to me. I almost had forgotten my exhaustion from lack of sleep since I had arrived to New York.

Inside.

After speaking with the sales clerk, I found out that the store kept one of the walls intact, in glass, from how they found it when taking over the venue. There were vinyl records for sale, photo books, and a few t-shirts with music memorabilia. I was allowed to take pictures inside, so I wasted no time in looking through every nook and cranny. I was surprised that there were people outside of the music industry and not necessarily fans of the music/lifestyle that carried CBGB&OMFUG to the point where a lot of the stuff was either preserved and incorporated with their own venue, completely a different brand and concept from the previous.

Danyy here! Most times you can find me at the photo pit, other times you can find me babbling on about all things Gyaru.

Did I mention I miss O’ahu a lot? I finally made Did I mention I miss O’ahu a lot? I finally made a blog post about it!
.
Check it out for recommendations, more pictures, and if that’s not enough, head on over to my Instagram stories for a full spam of absolutely everything from that trip! 🌺 🏝 ✨ .
Have you been to O’ahu before? What did you think about it?

Waikiki sunsets are amazing. ✨ . Hawai’i has b Waikiki sunsets are amazing. ✨ .
Hawai’i has been a dream destination for me that was always slightly out of reach. This year before the travel restrictions, I was able to go for a full week while attending a design conference.
.
I’m hopeful that I’ll go back to visit soon! Though I spent most of my time within Waikiki, there’s so much that’s still left to explore. 🌺 🏝 🌊

One thing that really frustrates me is that I don’t have a makeup routine. I just kind of… go with whatever at the time and never can I actually recreate the same look I had a few days ago.
.
Since I work from home, I don’t really have chances to go out and dress up like  I used to anyway, so I’ve been living it up in zero makeup and pj’s all day every day.
.
Now that the セレブーGAL guide is out, I’ve got half a mind to order a new tracksuit too (because yes, I own a Juicy Couture tracksuit from wayyy back in the day).
.
Anyway, here’s my face from a couple of days ago. 🌺 ✨ .

Blog post UP! ↑↑ I may have gone a teeny tiny Blog post UP! ↑↑ I may have gone a teeny tiny bit overboard on this guide but the Serebu Gyaru guide is finally up and running!
.
I wrote about this on one of my previous posts and I really wanted to get this guide going with the different ways to carry Serebu GAL style alongside a few tips. ✨
.
I’m trying to keep a similar format to the original guide which is the Old School Gyaru one, so you can expect more guides in this same style too!
.
Anyway whether you love 90’s-00’s fashion or the more modern and sometimes elegant (life)styles, you’ll want to give this a read!
.
Also per request, I’m already planning out the next guide so stay excited!

Blog post UP! ↑↑ New blog post, kind of! A lot Blog post UP! ↑↑ New blog post, kind of! A lot of new followers despite my inactivity so hi there! I’m Danyy.

I’ve been in the gaijin gyaru community since around 2007 or so, but I’ve never been quite the participant. My favorite style technically is kurogyaru and favorite gal brand is D.I.Aspec (RIP).
.
For quite a while, I’ve been into oldschool gyaru style (late 90’s early to mid 2000s). My favorite western brands tend to be surf ones.
.
I’m a lover of knowledge, especially when it comes to gyaru subculture and fashion, and while I’m super inconsistent in posting, I really hope the information from my posts makes it worthwhile!
.
Please tell me about yourself! ↓↓

Long time no post! My new promotion happened just Long time no post! My new promotion happened just a while ago, I’ve been dedicating day and night to finding a salesperson for my business (finally found one thank goodness 💕), and this quarantine has me playing World of Warcraft in my spare time.
.
Word on the grapevine is that Japan won’t be shipping out international mail effective in a few days so I’m kinda happy I got my package today (after letting it sit for a month in the system lol). 😂 😅 .
I’m always like a kid at a candy store whenever I get stuff! I focused on getting a lot of old school memorabilia to celebrate my birthday and promotion. A couple of the items even came in their original packaging which was nice too!
.
Now that my schedule is clearing up a bit, I’ll be able to come back to blogging and respond to comments from last month lol. 😂 😭

Blog post UP! ↑↑ Still Alive: Gyaru Brands . T Blog post UP! ↑↑ Still Alive: Gyaru Brands
.
This is a… IDK-How-Many-Parts Series of all of the brands that were forgotten (at the very least by me) but are still alive! I’ve started with the monster that is @anap_official since there are quite a few sub-brands under it that are definitely worth a look!
.
You’ll find the website URL, IG account, and my opinion whether it’s worth purchasing or not. Those that are have sample products and how/why they can be used.
.
I’ll get a bit too business-like here but no brand can actually exist without support, so if you like the products and think they can help your GAL style, please support them by buying the brand(s)!

(Check out my Shopping highlights for the full pic (Check out my Shopping highlights for the full pictures) ✨ .
I spent my entire weekend shopping and honestly I’m pretty tired LOL.
.
Mercari had some pretty good items at great prices this time, so I bought a little more than I had ever done before. I’m still trying to figure out how I managed to do this but it happened!
.
I’m considering this a happy promotion x early birthday present, especially since now I have to save up for the other things in my life. ✈️
.
I’m a bit behind though, so I’m hoping to post about my last gets & coords before traveling for work again!

.
ViVi recently took a crack at this with Nicole Fujita and after reading about it, I really hope that’s not the reality that Gyaru will be facing.
.
Retro is in; the 90’s primarily! I want to believe that oldschool Gyaru brands and styles will make a comeback for that reason, so I created my own version of what I think the future of GAL could look like. 🌺
