Here’s something for all you guys who haven’t gotten her (or him) anything yet and maybe aren’t exactly sure what to get her. All you need is a box, a pair of scissors and, well, your junk…as this [tag]music video[/tag] featuring Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake in an SNL skit explains.
I’m sure there must be a “tits in a box” version of this somewhere, so if you know about one, please post a comment with the information here.
A Mexican man hung himself by hooks from a tree to protest against discrimination against tattooed and pierced people.
It was part of a wider anti-discrimination demonstration in Mexico City, and the group staged the protest in the city centre where they stripped off to show off their [tag]tattoos[/tag] and [tag]piercings[/tag].
The man, who did not reveal his identity, hung himself from hooks tied to a wooden frame suspended from a tree. His personal protest attracted a crowd and shocked passers-by but he was not hurt. Dante Salomo, one of the organisers of the protest, said: “In Mexico a tattooed person is the victim of all kinds of discrimination, they don’t get good jobs and are mistreated everywhere.”
(Wow — here in America all you need to be is Mexican to get that kind of treatment.)
Well, at least in this one Toronto restaurant they are. The iMaid Cafe servers are all dressed in French maid outfits featuring black mini-skirts, long socks and white aprons.
This new Canadian eatery is designed after the cartoon-inspired restaurants which have been popular in Japan for some years now. The servers’ costumes are ordered from Japan to keep things as authentic as possible.
The restaurants in Japan, that this one is crafted to mimic, are devoted to costume play, which is referred to as [tag]cosplay[/tag]. In cosplay, people dress as characters from Japanese anime, tokusatsu, graphic manga novels, video games, as well as Japanese live action television shows, fantasy movies, or Japanese pop music bands. Cosplay can also refer to someone simply wearing a costume.
Owner Aaron Wang, 24, who opened the iMaid Cafe this summer, wanted to open a restaurant that would be different from other traditional Hong Kong and Chinese restaurants in Toronto, a cosmopolitan city where two million of the 4.6 million people are foreign born. The largest minority group is the Chinese population, which is 410,000.
Wang says he calls his girls maids not waitresses. He also makes sure to hire servers who are young and cute, with long hair and big eyes, and who smile a lot like the characters from the cartoons.
The iMaid Cafe serves a mix of Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Western food. You can find it in the Scarborough suburb about a 30 minute drive from Toronto’s city centre.
In an interesting turn, a court in Norway has ruled that stripping is considered an art, and therefore Norwegian [tag]strippers[/tag] don’t have to pay the country’s 25 percent value-added tax (VAT) on their earnings.
The owners of the Diamond Go Go Bar in Oslo had refused to pay the VAT as tax authorities demanded, and the local authority had taken the club to court over its refusal. Lawyers for the club’s owners argued that the strip tease is an art form that requires skill and that striptease dancers were stage artists just like sword-swallowers and comedians and deserved the same respect and tax breaks as other creative artists and performers.
“Striptease, in the way it is practiced in this case, is a form of dance combined with acting,” the court ruled, making a clear distinction between “banal and vulgar” striptease — in which there is physical contact between dancers and the audience — and artistic dance.
“It can hardly be questioned that striptease is entertainment,” said the High Court verdict. “Most people would characterise striptease as an artistic activity.”
The court also ordered Norway to pay the legal costs for the Go-Go Bar, estimated at $27,000.
Researchers are struggling to understand a rare medical condition where sufferers unknowingly demand, or actually have, sex while asleep. Research into [tag]sexsomnia[/tag] – making sexual advances towards another person while asleep – has been hampered as sufferers are so embarrassed by the problem they tend not to own up to it, while doctors do not ask about it.
Most researchers view sexsomnia as a variant of sleepwalking, where sufferers are stuck between sleep and wakefulness, though sexsomniacs tend to stay in bed rather than get up and walk. While sleepwalking affects 2-4 per cent of adults, sexsomnia is not thought to be as common a problem. But an internet survey of sexsomniacs carried out in 2005 that drew 219 reliable respondents concluded it was more prevalent than medical case reports alone might suggest. And on rare occasions you have stories of people liking it better than waking sex.
As yet there is no cure for the condition, which often leads to difficulties in relationships. Scientists are working on devising a procedure for diagnosing sexsomnia in legal cases where sufferers have been accused of sexual assault or ‘[tag]sleep assault[/tag].’
Dutch cabinet maker Mario Philippona has designed a range of stylish wooden cupboards, wardrobes and tables using the female anatomy as his inspiration, and his erotic furniture is on exhibition at a top German art gallery this month.
Philippona said: “The shape of a woman, her organic architecture, combined with my passion for wood inspired me to sculpt these sexy designs.”
Some of his works shown here include this table supported by legs moulded from a female model and the wineglass cupboard in the shape of a pair of large breasts. His newest piece is the fruit bowl decorated with realistically shaped life-size wooden breasts called ‘TittyFruity.’
Other pieces include a bedside drawer which opens by pressing a button in the piece’s ‘vagina.’
Philippona’s furniture is being exhibited during the month of December at Amadeus Art in Berlin, Germany or you can see more online at sexyfurniture.nl
Next time someone wants to know what songs push your buttons, they may have something special in mind. Just in time for the holidays, how about a new musical orgasm machine?
If you have a iPod (or any portable music player with an earphone jack), just plug in the iBuzz and your headphones, turn on whatever music you like, and you’ll feel how the vibrations are now in time to your favorite songs. Get down and get off. Turn up the music and the vibrations get stronger too.
The iBuzz includes a music-activated vibrating bullet with both his and hers attachments. And if you forget your music player, there are even 7 built-in vibrations patterns so you don’t have to suffer in silence.
This one should give people a whole new reason to make and share some special “playlists.” Check out the details at the iBuzz website.
