Lacy latex

The popularity of silicone sex dolls appears to know no bounds, with rental services, mannequin staffed ‘motels’ and a magazine devoted to the subject adequately catering for the vast majority of lusty latex lovers. Yet for those wanting to combine a predilection for both plastic partners and pantyhose, support has been scant to say the least, with furtive fittings and surreptitious shopping trips the only form of release.

Not any more though, thanks to the dubious delights of ‘LoveDoll’s Pantyhose’, a website offering all manner of lacy latex loveliness, including this rather startled looking creation.

And these two racy replicas, offering endless possibilities — apparently.

However none of them can hold a torch to this bewitching beauty in blue.

For similarly sizzling shots, the website can be found here, although it goes without saying that it might not be entirely suitable during office hours.

Sharp shoes

Presumably not completely happy with his off-the-shelf shoes, Seitaro Kasai decided to give them something of a personal touch; however rather than simply choosing some lavishly coloured laces, the 31-year-old inexplicably opted to add several nails to his footwear — each one sticking out a millimetre or two from the toe area.

With his wearable weapons complete, Kasai then went in search of a victim, and after choosing a 28-year-old woman in front of Tokyo’s busy Shibuya Station, he set about kicking her repeatedly in the calf muscles. Yet despite suffering injuries, the unnamed lady was strong enough to drag the deranged Kasai into a nearby police box, where he was promptly arrested.

Officers later seized two more pairs of similarly modified shoes from Kasai’s home, and under questioning the accused explained his victim was chosen due to a strong desire to “injure the legs of a woman with a good figure.”

Cosplay confessional

The music started, the chapel doors opened, and there was no turning back — not now. Then, seemingly as one, the guests turned towards the opened doors, and with a last deep breath I set off down the aisle, guiding my shaking legs tentatively towards the platform ahead.

Rather worryingly there appeared to be a lot more people present than anticipated, but I squeezed out a nervous smile and the odd polite nod. Then, checking that the groom was close behind, it was up on to the platform and behind the podium, tightly clasping my bible and ceremony notes. Yes, I was performing my first ‘Christian’ wedding ceremony, and with somewhere in the region of 100 Japanese guests looking on expectantly, I was nervous to say the least.

But why be nervous? If nothing else I looked the part in my newly acquired robe — complete with a rather natty stole and embroidered crosses.

And if that wasn’t enough, surely my 3 hours or so of ‘training’ and the resultant certificate would get me through the proceedings. I was now authorized for goodness sake.

In both English and Japanese.

The trusty robe manufacturers certainly thought so anyway, as I wasn’t plain old Mr Lee Chapman anymore. No, not by a long shot. I was going up in the world, perhaps quite literally.

Such a rapid rise leading me to believe that I’d be a bishop before I knew it. Or at least I would have been if I hadn’t opted for early retirement — it being a lot of Sunday work and all that.

Canned convenience

Still looking for the perfect snack to compliment your tinned tea or coffee? A product as compact and convenient as your favourite ready-made beverage?

canned coffee

Well, further foraging is at last unnecessary, because here it is: canned bread.

bread in a can

Yes, bread in a tin. It lasts for 3 years too. And if that’s not enough, you can also choose between chocolate chip, raisin and nut, or the slightly more adventurous coffee, raisin and nut variety. Amazing eh?

Did I mention it comes in a can?

Acutely aware however of such a reaction to its product, the organization behind it have opted for a no-nonsense and self explanatory name — Pan Desuyo! (This is Bread!). Which is perhaps as well, because on first inspection it may not be immediately obvious.

Bulging bureaucracy

Perhaps taking the government’s casual cool biz campaign a little too far, a Hyogo Prefecture bureaucrat stepped out last weekend sporting a wig and miniskirt. A not altogether objectionable outfit it has to be said, although on a 56-year-old male it could be regarded as unconventional — risqué even.

not the man in question apparently

Still, Hiroshi Ikeuchi’s Saturday night out wouldn’t have raised much more than a few eyebrows if he’d just gone quietly about his business. Yet feeling a little giddy in his gutsy garment, the general affairs manager inexplicably opted to expose his genitalia to three female students. The skimpy nature of his outfit presumably facilitating this bit of furtive fun.

Appalled at what they saw however, the three young women overpowered Ikeuchi-san as he tried to demurely depart and handed him over to the local police. The resultant arrest prompting a clearly shocked city mayor to say, “It was an act unworthy of a public servant, and I express my heartfelt apology.” A comment that Ikeuchi may not necessarily agree with, as the fashion conscious felon calmly claimed, “I was steeped in a sense of freedom.”

Rubbish robber

We all make mistakes, but a 58-year-old would-be bank robber in Saitama Prefecture made a couple of behemothic blunders during his fatally flawed get rich quick plan.

The floundering fella’s first faux pas was his complete lack of planning, which became immediately obvious when he asked a confounded cashier, “Any idea how you rob a bank?” Now whilst well versed on general bank matters and the complexities of ATM money transfers, the branch employee was at a loss in regards to larceny, and so referred the request to another member of staff; this quick thinking individual gently escorting the middle-aged man out of the bank, quite possibly with a comforting yet slightly condescending arm around his shoulders.

To complete the humiliation, the hapless robber’s second slip up was his basic lack of knife know-how, as the presence of an unsheathed weapon in his pocket became apparent due to a bloodstain on his trousers. One of the arresting officers confirming this by almost sympathetically saying, “He didn’t brandish the knife at anyone … but he injured himself in the leg.”
