The video for ganguro is priceless. She's really great. And she keeps saying "please make sure you do it right or else you'll look stupid". Because, naturally, doing ganguro right doesn't look stupid at all! The emo and chola video's aren't quite so good, leaning too far on racial stereotype for my taste. (Of course ganguro is an extreme stereotype too, but blackface being recycled through Japan makes it so bizarre it seems harmless.)
I mean this without irony, glowpinkstah's a natural on camera, very fun and good at explaining things. Nicely edited for brevity, too. She reminds me a bit of Sunny Anderson from the Food Channel. Not so much the look, but her complete ease at being alone and her friendly, slightly self-deprecating clear explanations. posted by Nelson at 6:28 PM on August 12
Heh. I watched "chola" first and mistakenly assumed that was a slight exaggeration of her real voice. I was pleasantly surprised to watch the others. She cracks me up. "That Dollar Store eyeliner is being a cunt." posted by ColdChef at 6:34 PM on August 12
I want glowpinkstah to be my new best friend. I clicked around her channel, and the Whore Makeup made me laugh out loud a few times. Brilliant. posted by amj at 7:07 PM on August 12
Very funny....I enjoyed emo ("that's my slave name"). posted by Go Banana at 7:09 PM on August 12
Hah, I love her. posted by jamaro at 7:49 PM on August 12
"one time i killed my parents, because i have killed them multiple times, because they walked in on me slitting my wrist, so i slit their wrist instead. "
Dude so I clicked the emo link and I'm halfway through and she's still making fun of emos? STFU and tell me whether to use liquid or pencil eyeliner already k? posted by Non Prosequitur at 8:18 PM on August 12
Yes, whore makeup was the best of these. What a likable kid. posted by Monsters at 8:36 PM on August 12
Get this girl into sketch comedy. Now. posted by hanoixan at 8:37 PM on August 12
Was funny thanks, but NSFW no with all them 'cunts' and 'penises' posted by Not Supplied at 9:13 PM on August 12
She is just such a natural on camera. posted by Jilder at 9:22 PM on August 12
I Love this girl so much.
One quibble: For the full and proper chola look, the natural eyebrows should be completely plucked out and new eyebrows drawn in about an inch higher up the forehead. posted by longsleeves at 10:01 PM on August 12 [4 favorites]
And apparently it should be done in sharpie, but she didn't have her sharpie because she lent it to her niece for her quinceañera. Ha! posted by nosila at 10:13 PM on August 12 [2 favorites]
It's so surreal to see someone looking into a webcam in their bedroom who is actually funny and entertaining. posted by nosila at 10:15 PM on August 12 [7 favorites]

That's exactly what I wanted to say, so instead I am favoriting yours and reposting it here. You are welcome. posted by lazaruslong at 11:17 PM on August 12 [2 favorites]
I have nothing to add but more love. She's charming and funny and so comfortable in front of the camera. I see a potential future Daily Show correspondent. Also, I learned some tricks for applying mascara. posted by BitterOldPunk at 11:45 PM on August 12
Awesome talent. nosila hit the nail on the head. Oh and so did lazaruslong. posted by Xoebe at 11:51 PM on August 12
I used to hear the background song on her chola video all the time on the radio about 2 years ago. Found the video for it, Lean Like a Cholo. She is awesome. posted by shinyshiny at 12:26 AM on August 13
I'm just amazed she can do this for a few seconds at a time with a straight face, especially when smearing gobs upon gobs of crap onto it. Great stuff. posted by neewom at 12:39 AM on August 13

Man. That was bad. I'm gonna have to keep that in mind when I hear some of you say how hip hop supposedly sucks, and just assume that that's what you know as hip hop and you've never heard, like, People's Instinctive Travels or Illmatic or what have you. posted by DecemberBoy at 4:02 AM on August 13
