Resume Under Attack! : Invading Jobs and Harrassment at Work

Cross Posted from  Jan. 10, 2024 1:16am 

When I was a young college student, involved with gyaru fashion, blogging, and event coordination, looking feverishly for jobs 14 years ago, I initially did not take into account bad actors who may use my resume for nefarious means. I was unaware of the blindspots I had with this once simple situation. 

I had given my resume to a woman who claimed she would assist me in updating it for the jobs that I wanted, and I thought she was doing me a favor. After a quick turnaround time, I was equipped with a shiny new resume, ready to send it to various businesses around my city to support myself and content creation. 

Unfortunately, this simplistic act of providing my base resume in 2010ish became a minefield of data for an overeager stranger who was now privy to all the info

I get requests from time to time about men's fashion. I realized I do not talk about male fashion much on my channels. So with this post, I will change that. Most of whom read my blog identify as women, so the content is geared to that.

Yes, Gyaru would not be complete if there were no male counterpart. Gyaru-o from a Japanese fashion magazine sporting a dark jacket with a grey shirt and extremely distressed jeans. Accessories include a silver cross, and an ornamented belt. Brown, slouchy boots keep the look casual.

Bounce Kogals & Commentary

Graphic design by Lisha-2013

I recently shared a graphic design mock up (2013) on TikTok  based on the movie Bounce Kogals by Harada (1997). It’s a film that I watched in college, around Diamond gyaru circle days (2010-2011) for a gals’ night in with a made from scratch Osakan themed dinner with a healthy side of natto. Delicious.✨

It’s a poignant story of Maki, a bold and strong willed ko Gyaru in the ever so iconic kogal uniform, and an adventurous young student, Lisa, whose lives intertwine and those that exploit them in Tokyo, Japan.
