In the world there are many different subcultures that differ from each other. In this article I want to tell teenage girls how to become a vanilla. This course most often carries girls 10-15 years of age.
About the subculture itself
First of all, I want to figure out what constitutes this subculture. So, the “vanilla” flow arose around 2010. By its nature, it is similar to the subculture of hipsters. A distinctive feature of vanilla girls is dreaminess, romance. However, all this usually should develop against the background of ostentatious depression and depression. Also, this style has its own special wardrobe, a set of accessories and stereotypes of behavior.
About the girls
What does vanilla look like? These are most often small fragile girls (asthenics) who are always in a dreamy dreamy state, they have a sad smile on their lips, a cup of coffee in their hands, and a large camera on their neck. An ideal vanilla has a rich inner world, can support a conversation about modern philosophy. Also often in the corners of the eyes of such girls you can see a tear.
What to do?
Knowing what this subculture is, we’ll figure out how to become a vanilla. What needs to be done for this, when it will already be possible to consider yourself a representative of this trend for a girl who wants to achieve this?
1. A window sill. Vanilla loves to sit on the windowsill, dream about something and look out the window (ideal if it rains). However, you also need to have a beautiful checkered blanket, which you need to wrap up, and in your hands should be a cup of coffee (an essential attribute of vanilla). It is also good to have a philosophical book with you, which, however, is more for entourage. The main occupation of the representatives of this subculture is dreams and sad thoughts about Him, his inaccessible lover.
2. Reading. Vanilla are very fond of philosophical literature. However, they can often be seen with a closed book in hand, i.e. a volume of a beloved writer is more an addition to the image than really a reading matter. What do you need to take with you? So, of course, you can turn to the works of Hesse or Cortazar, but first it is better to read Begbeder or Coelho.
3. What to listen to? Understanding how to become a vanilla, you must know that you need to listen to the “right” music and watch the “right” movie. So, there must be foreign groups in the playlist (as many as possible), but Verka Serdyuchka and Hands Up should be removed from there. And if the girl does not like such music, her interest should be demonstrated to others as often as possible. It’s better to watch an arthouse or independent movie. And let it be incomprehensible, it’s better to memorize the name of the film in order to mention its viewing in a conversation with similar people.
What to eat?
We understand further how to become a vanilla. What do you need to eat for this? So, all food must be attractive so that it can be safely photographed and shared on social networks. For these purposes, muffins, jelly bears, macaroons, etc. are suitable. You can also dine in the cozy cafes. However, it is always worth remembering that vanilla is a fragile girl. And with such food you can quickly lose your elegance.
I would like to recall that coffee, a cigarette, as well as Starbucks products are an integral attribute of the representatives of this subculture. However, it is worth saying that this item is not suitable for all age categories. If a girl wants to understand how to become a vanilla at age 10, her parents are unlikely to be allowed to drink coffee and consume junk food (and even more so smoke!). In this case, it is better to pay attention to other points.
How to look?
It is also important to understand how much the appearance of the representatives of this subculture should be. What should be worn and what should not be forgotten?
1. Clothing. So, we understand further how to become a vanilla (at 11 years old, 12 or even 15). To do this, you need to choose the right wardrobe. All the girl’s clothes are designed to emphasize her touching and vulnerable image. It’s good if the legs are tight-fitting (tight jeans, leggings), and the shoulders are slightly ajar (t-shirts with a large neckline and several sizes larger are suitable for this). On the clothes should be written "I love New York" in various variations, the British flag can be placed. Winter outfit version: coarse knit sweater. It is also good if there are large horn glasses on the nose.
2. Hairstyle. Be sure to think about how to stack curls. So, the girl’s hair at first glance should look disheveled, there is such a creative mess on her head. However, all this must be thought through to the smallest detail. If this is a bun, harmful hairs should be knocked out of it, if the hair is loose, they should not be evenly combed, but a little disheveled.
3. Shoes. On their feet, these girls often have only slip-ons or sneakers, in winter - ugg boots.
4. Accessories. Vanilla loves vintage stuff. They can carry an old grandmother's bag or her watch on a leather strap. Also, vanilla bears must always carry a large SLR camera with them in order to be able to capture a bird sitting on a branch in a park, because it is so moving and romantic. Representatives of this subculture also like to take pictures of themselves, especially various parts of their body - lips, legs, stretched out on a windowsill and wrapped in a plaid, hand with a cup or a cigarette.
