1OBn Jackets & Collarpins Feedback
In accordance to YL, we needed to hit $300 to get our pins made. I was thinking that we could prolly print jackets too instead of just getting 3 pins each.
I just wanted to check if anyone are interested in this Jacket making thing, from what I heard a plain canvas jacket is about $20-25 (Without prints). If there are more purchases I could prolly get them for less, unless of course someone knows another place which sells cheaper jackets. I’ll be checking out pennisula and queensway shopping centre.
For now I need to know those insterested please comment! Designers please start submitting your design to YL! Currently Kwok is doing the face thing, so he wont be that free to do everything. Of course if no1 submits anything at all, then we’ll have to wait for kwok to give us the logo.
Another question, How do you want the jacket to be like? Logo infront @ right/left chest & name @ the back or Logo @ the back with name below or just the logo w/o name? I feel that personalizing the jacket would be interesting although it might cost more.
Ai Iijima hits the streets again
Oh my, Ai! Even months into retirement, porn star-cum-celebrity advisor and IT explorer Ai Iijima can’t stay out of the news, with Shukan Asahi (9/7) reporting that now she’s moaning about her insatiable urge to break a sex drought.
Citing a serious liver illness, 34-year-old Iijima quit the showbiz world at the end of March, but has since maintained a high-profile blog that has managed to keep people talking about her.
Earlier this month, she used her blog to let it be known that she’s becoming sexually frustrated.
“I was thinking the other day that ever since my life started, it has lacked sensuality,” Shukan Asahi quotes Iijima posting on her blog. “I haven’t got a boyfriend. I haven’t even got a sex friend. Oh my god, I’m dying for a bit. I’ve just got to have some nooky.”
The comments were typically Iijima in that they easily shocked. Her request for advice from visitors to her blog elicited over 300 replies, many from men predictably willing to meet her and alleviate her plight.
Despite Iijima lamenting a lack of lustiness, recent reports suggest that may not necessarily be the case. In July, women’s weekly Josei Jishin caught Iijima meeting with a guy at a posh hotel.
A couple of weeks after that, Shukan Asahi itself reported that Iijima had developed a very close relationship with Hiroyuki Nishimura, 30, the maverick operator of anything-goes online bulletin board Ni-Chaneru. Iijima works part-time for an IT company in which Nishimura is a director, and she has made no bones about how much she likes his bones. After posting on her blog footage of the interview she undertook with him to get the IT job, Iijima also remarked about her feelings for the board operator.
“I quite fancy this Hiroyuki,” the weekly quotes Iijima writing.
Despite the attraction, some pals say it’s unlikely Iijima and Nishimura have consummated their relationship.
“Ai is pretty free and easy and it’s common for her to whine to her friends about a lack of decent sex. She also complains about the fact that as soon as she leaves her home, the paparazzi are there to swoop on her so she basically has to remain cooped up in her apartment all the time,” an Iijima buddy tells Shukan Asahi. “I guess if she’s holed up inside all the time, she would be getting a bit bored.
Iijima won’t be offering any insight into her relationship with Nishimura, refusing to divulge any details even for Shukan Asahi, for which she was once a columnist. She wouldn’t open up when the weekly approached her for a comment.
“Considering everything your magazine has done for me, I’d really love to help, but in this case, I’m really, really sorry, I just can’t cooperate with the story,” Iijima tells Shukan Asahi. “I’m really, really sorry.”
Dirty Videos
Millions eager to star in Japan’s filthiest home videos
About one in three Japanese women are interested in having their sex captured on camera, says Spa! (1/16), which notes that about the same ratio of men have actually been laid for the lens.
“Mobile phones now have built-in video functions, so lots of guys who use them to film their sex are probably doing it for a bit of fun,” a 33-year-old securities worker and practitioner of hamedori — filming or photographing sex — tells Spa! “If you whipped out a single-lens reflex camera the woman would probably get a bit antsy, but because it’s a mobile phone, she’ll often go along with it.”
The bulk of Japan’s hamedori fans say they engage in the practice for sexual stimulation.
“It’s sort of an extension of dirty talk. You can tease women by pointing the camera at them and watching her blush. That alone is fun,” a 29-year-old construction worker says. “You’ve got to make sure you dump the footage after you’ve taken it, though.”
Not everybody does get rid of movies of them having sex, though. Many, especially men, keep the footage because it gives them the feeling of having appeared in an adult movie.
Of those who do retain the film, one-quarter do so because they want to watch it together with their girlfriend at a later date. Still more want to use it as inspiration for later liaisons, while still others use it when they want to (or have to) pleasure themselves.
“I want to use it to objectively analyze my sexual technique,” was one of the answers given to Spa!’s poll on why people want to keep hamedori shots, but the men’s weekly notes that it was definitely a view held by a minority.
Only about 5 percent of people actually saved their hamedori footage on a CD, with 46 percent disposing of the files and 34 percent simply leaving it on their mobile phones or PC hard disks.
“It’s only something I do for a bit of sexual stimulation,” a 31-year-old editor tells Spa!, referring to his hamedori habit. “That’s all. After that, you get a bit sick of it.”
Skimpy Skirts
Shiga Prefecture’s schoolgirls boast of skimpiest skirts in Japan
Schoolgirl uniforms in Shiga are so short, they’re less hem than ahem, according to Weekly Playboy (1/29).
The Japanese language Internet is awash with rumors that schoolgirls in the central Japan prefecture wear the skimpiest uniforms of anywhere in the country.
Local schoolboys seem to agree, saying one school in particular is known for its micromini uniforms.
“When the girls from the school all get off the train together in the mornings, it’s a real sight to see,” the schoolboy tells Weekly Playboy, adding that many people deliberately go to look. “We call it the Schoolgirl Rush Hour in these parts.”
Shiga schoolgirls don’t deny their reputation either.
“Shiga’s the sticks, right? Well, long dresses might be popular in the cities, but it takes ages before the trend gets picked up around here. Besides, Shiga girls always wear minis,” one schoolgirl from the prefecture says. “We look good in miniskirts. What’s wrong with that?”
A downside to the propensity for flashing the flesh is that Shiga Prefecture apparently attracts a disproportionate number of perverts who travel from outside the prefecture to track down the short skirts said to be on display.
It’s a trend noticeable in the statistics, where 10 arrests for upskirt photo shots were made of non-Shiga residents last year compared to just three in 2004. Police admit the short schoolgirl skirts are creating problems.
“We don’t know whether the rumor on the Internet ahs anything to do with it, but there has been an increase in concealed camera-related arrests and it’s a bother,” Shigeru Morita, deputy chief of the Shiga Prefectural Police’s Railroad Police Division, tells Weekly Playboy. “We’ve had cases where people have deliberately come all the way from other prefectures just to take secret snapshots in Shiga.”
Shiga education officials are also aware that there are problems.
“We know there was a write-up on the Net about Shiga having the shortest schoolgirl skirts in Japan, but the prefecture hasn’t done a survey on anything of that nature. We are fully aware that some of our students have very short skirts,” a spokesman for the Shiga Prefectural Board of Education says. “We are teaching our students to be aware that there is a danger that people will film up their skirts if they keep the hems so short.”
Shiga’s schoolgirls, however, say that nothing’s going to deprive them of their microminis.
“There’s nothing wrong with wearing a short skirt,” an irate Shiga schoolgirl tells Weekly Playboy. “What’s wrong are those perverts who deliberately look at our panties. Why should we have to change our fashion just because of a bunch of perverted old men?”
