Made You Look

A Russian website which shows regular hair of people and their hair when wet. One of those ‘because we can’ things.

It’s amazing what you can say in a crumpled up dollar.

People seem to be fascinated with these men in Japan who make a living by spending time with women for a hefty price. CNN labels them ‘geisha guys’.
They are more commonly feminine men who dress in high end fashion and wear make-up. One of my favorite show features humorous Host Men (actually boys) who have a club in high school.

This illustration by Pascal Blanchet caught my eye. There is an interesting urban legend about a song titled Gloomy Sunday aka “Hungarian suicide song” that was written in 1933 and was blamed for hundreds of suicides in the 1930s. Interesting for a song to have that kind of power.

Hishaku is found in the spleen, most often in females. Symptoms include an overpowering appetite for sweets, a yellowish complexion, and a tendency to hum. It can be stopped with acupuncture around the navel.

Acupuncture is an effective treatment.

Original Marvel graphic novel.

And the Japanese Manga version.

The Marvel comics tend to be more condense and too much going on in the background. Some people don’t like plain white backgrounds but I do because you can focus on the characters more. This manga version also makes the characters look ‘cuter’. via Expanded Universe 

There have been maid and cosplay cafes to entertain men.
Welcome to Tokyo’s first schoolboy cafe, the latest in a flurry of eateries in Japan where customers and waiters role play themes from strange erotic fantasies. I’m sure these waiters in school boy uniforms aren’t really underage. reuters
