Primum Non Nocere
For some unknown reason, surgical masks, fracture casts, bandages, and eye patches have become the latest fashion accessories, according to reports in Boing Boing and Tokyo Times (which has many pictures). It isn’t clear whether this is a developing popular trend or restricted to the lunatic fringe. But apparently “mask idols” do exist. And I guess they
don’t look that bad at all–although maybe a little sick…
But I do have a theory about this. It is apparently well-known that “Japanese men want infantile anorexic kawaii women in their 20s who act like they’re 12″ and feigning helplessness is supposed to be one of their favorite ploys. Well–what could elict more sympathy than broken legs, bandaged arms, and eye patches?
“Oh you poor little thing–were you run over by a car or trapped in the burning apartment? Let me help…” Do you recall the Hong Kong movie The Killer? It could have just been an act…
“Japanese men want infantile anorexic kawaii women in their 20s who act like they’re 12″ and feigning helplessness”
Exactly why Gunma ladies came bottom in the populariy poll Dr.Paul - they are the complete antithesis of the male Japanese female fantasy stereotype.

August 10th, 2007 at 7:49 amOf course, we Western guys prefer the perfectly normal hard-drinking, nose, nipple or labia pierced, tattood girls who talk dirty.
Still, is it really necessary to trot out the Japanese men stereotypes? And if you do, at least do it in your own words, rather than hiding behind an unattributed quote.
August 10th, 2007 at 8:18 amIt’s just another fetish fashion, after all.
I’m not hiding behind anything ghoti - I just pasted in what Dr.Paul included in his post - don’t shoot me I’m only the piano player.
Arden doesn’t have tatts,piercings,rude words,smoke or drink alcohol.
So where does that place me in the scheme of things?.

rem that put you top of the class & in the good books with the fine lady that your wife is.
August 10th, 2007 at 10:52 ammy point was raw-bean, that I sometimes wonder if in the minds of some western men, any other world exists for them outside of shibuya,shinjuku,harajuku & akihabara..
*certainly not amongst the pretty cabbage fields of Gunma.*

August 10th, 2007 at 11:09 amI didn’t know ” Mask Idols ” existed. In the Otaku world for men however, there are plenty of variations for girl idols. This one seems to be just one of them. We shouldn’t take it so serious.
Moreover, I assume there are also Japanese boys who prefer the perfectly normal hard-drinking, nose, nipple or labia pierced, tattooed girls who talk dirty. Ha ha ha. (^-^)
August 10th, 2007 at 11:36 amThe whole fetish stuff is beyond me. Why not just plain naked rutting like dogs on top of the hill. Way out in the boonies of course so as not to have an audience. And like Ghoti says (go Ghoti! You say it so good) stop the (scrolls up to see how it is spelled) stereotypes.
August 10th, 2007 at 11:49 amkeep it up! my point is starting to become more valid by the comment.
your boonie lovin’
remora.

August 10th, 2007 at 12:06 pm‘plain naked rutting like dogs on top of the hill. Way out in the boonies’, but some people here have very high standards, class & are very serious writers (how’s that darts article going). But if you like to get down & dirty, I think some of us can do it as good if not better than the dogs on the hill.
my darts article is proceeding just swell robyn - I just need some pix (my own) and some vid (my own) how is your Judo piece coming along?..
by the way nice display of..

in your comment - i see you’ve lost none of your power and technique.

August 10th, 2007 at 12:18 pmI’m more into te waza than ashi waza, always remember judo players do it with technique.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:50 pmremora, that first comment was directed at Paul. Your quote had a source. And your wife sounds lovely. But girlfriends, play friends and wives are different things. I used to filter out all the marriageable types to concentrate on the kinkies, but one slipped through and tricked me.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:53 pmThanks for the comments san diegan, I will send payment shortly. But for the naked dogs rutting on a hill scenario, you will notice that they don’t mind having an audience. It’s strictly academic for me now, but I normally appreciate a woman who can bring something unusual to the table, even face masks, or just a girl who says “drunk driving is fun.”
just Friday skylarking ghoti, i guessed your remarks were addressed to Paul..by the way? where’s he disappeared too?…causes a ruckus then ducks off!!
hahaha.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:58 pmwhere’s he disappeared… he is on top of a hill way out in the boonies waiting for the two dogs.
August 10th, 2007 at 2:39 pmif it’s the boonies around our neck of the woods, the tanuki’s will be scrotum parachuting in to keep him company quite shortly.
*beer o’clock & Red Binder time is now - goodbye!*

August 10th, 2007 at 2:50 pm“scrotum parachuting” Gawd! (Oh my goodness!) What the hell is that! I feel so naieve. Somebody post a picture or even better yet, a video. I need to be edified. I just can’t wrap my imagination around scrotum parachuting. Did I live a sheltered life?
As for the two dogs on the hill… haven’t you ever noticed, how they don’t give a ()**&*(&&* what is going on around them… That is what I like~. Ghoti,,, now you are scaring me. I thought you were normal. It looks like you got some quirks after all! (sighs) Damn Testosterone~.. makes us stupid.

Tanuki’s have very large scrotums - large enough to parachute or possibly hang glide.
The area of Gunma i reside IN is Tanuki Central.

August 10th, 2007 at 3:55 pma bit more background Tanuki-wise.
“Tan Tan Tanuki no kintama wa,
Kaze mo nai no ni,
Bura bura”
(Roughly translated, this means “Tan-tan-tanuki’s testicles, there isn’t even any wind but still go swing-swing-swing”
