Cute. Weird, but cute. Not Safe for Work

elfsI'm a fan of Shibari, although I don't get to practice it nearly often enough. Which is why I'm highly entertained by this very cute how-to for the fundamentals of the rope harness.
In a vaguely related story, the body pillow has been for sale in the U.S. for a long time, a pillow at least four feet in length that allows you to choose the angle at which you sleep. In Japan, body pillow cases with popular anime characters have been available for years; when I was watching Mai HiME I became aware of them for both Natsuki and Mai, although the $55 price tag put me off (as would Omaha's probable reaction). Some of the pillow cases on the following site are rather disturbing (think: the pillow cases are four feet long) but some of them are just plain strange. In Japan, the various flavors of Microsoft products have their own anime mascots which leads me to wonder: who would want to cuddle up to Windows XP?
[Edit] For those of you who don't read French, there's a link in the text to a much bigger pic of the Shibari.

Date: 2007-01-23 06:42 am (UTC)A couple of days ago 'Japanese Rope Bondage' came up with a friend in conversation, and that set me off trying to find that damn image. I'd seen it a long while back and it was perfect. But I couldn't find it for the life of me.
And here you are posting it.
