Yamanba

Yamanba, (ヤマンバ) sometimes written as "yamamba", is a fashion trend among Japanese young women. The term comes from mythology and refers to a mountain-ogress (also known as Yama-uba). Starting with the bleach-white hair and heavy tan of the ganguro girl, the yamanba adds white lipstick, white eye makeup, sometimes brightly colored contacts and other extreme fashion statements. Some yamanba might wear stuffed animals as decorations, talk with a slurred speech, and enjoy shiny neon colors. Some say that the result seems to be a caricature of a blond Caucasian woman.
