The K-On! girls here make an exceptionally moe-some appearance, sized for wallpaper usage, which will just have to do until the inevitable bathing and swimsuit gravure becomes available (episode 4 will be the bathing service episode).

In the event, called Shibuya Girls Collection, and held at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, Asashoryu modeled a typical Prussian cadet uniform, the standard for Japanese boys, much to the delight of the 20,000 crowd, most of them female teenagers.

Sailor Fuku vs Sukumizu Fetish Fashion Crossover

sailor-fuku-sukumizu-fetish-fashion-collision.jpg

Otaku lolicon cosplay maniacs are advised that a new item of apparel demands their attention.

Combining the charms of Japanese school uniform (specifically that modeled on the classic sailor uniform of a number of navies), and the now iconic school swimwear, or “sukumizu”, which so many Japanese youths are conditioned to consider the height of maidenliness, the alluringly zippered outfit daringly merges two allied fetishes for added mania.

“What kind of class will we be having today, I wonder?” An amphibious one, it would seem.

Outrage Over Schoolgirl Trousers

preview9e5bd65072f761e9188c7b6868f0b1cf.jpg

After complaints from parents over cold legs, a school has opted to reform its uniform to allow schoolgirls to dispense with skirts, if they choose. The prospect of allowing schoolgirls to wear trousers has attracted outrage.

However, with the plan being organised by teachers, a normal choice of trousers proved impossible, and “pantaloons” were settled on to preserve the modesty of the schoolgirls, now they would no longer be displaying their legs…

On the Proper Recycling of a PET Bottle

Recycling the ubiquitous PET bottle is not limited to merely reusing the raw materials; the truly eco-conscious can also reuse the bottle entire, for a variety of purposes other than the simple prospect of storing liquids for later consumption, although that is a perfectly valid use too.

Detailed instructions follow:
