I saw this magazine in Mandarake in Shibuya a few weeks ago, it seems to appeal to guys with 3 fetishes

1) Plastic figures
2) Panchira - パンチラ - catching a glimpse of a womans pants
3) Women suspended from wires in game / fighting poses

Only in Japan, there seems to be a fetish magazine for every perversion.

I always wondered why the models in the Peach John adverts looked so "Westernized" - Peach John being Japan's equivalent of Victoria's Secret , Ann Summers with a twist of Paris Hilton appealing to all なんちゃて外人ギャル (Gaijin Girl wannabes). Well my wonderings were answered last week, in the form of a mis delivered Peach John catalogue to my house - They aren't Japanese or ハーフ (Half's - people of mixed blood) as I thought.

They are all Eastern Europeans as the models profiles informed ! They all look so Japanese I thought, does that mean Japanese girl's are becoming more western lookign or European girls are becoming more Japanese looking !?

Now all that remains to wonder is where the hell does Peach John come from? Is it a Japanese company or a foreign one? And if it's Japanese why does it have such heavy gaijin branding?

Still, very nice range in pants.

Isaw this rather glitzy alighted advert in my local town Matsudo on the way home the other night. It's a sex club offering コスプレ - cosplay (dressing up) sexual fantasies and intercourse all for the princely sum of 7,000 yen (that's roughly 35 pounds).

Pay your money and you have the choice of "Nurse", "Race Queen" (think the latex clad girls at car exhibitions), "Tour Guide" or "School girl" for an hour.

I always wonder who goes to these places and what kind of people work at them. The image of a 50 year old balding salaryman frolicking with a 38year old "school girl" brings tears to my eyes.
