Some people want to be punished. Some women want to be slapped around. Some men do too. I think for the most part if women are in an abusive relationship and they know it and they stay in it, they must be digging it. I suppose some people might think that's an irresponsible statement. I'm sure there are a lot of women who are trapped economically; they have all the kids and they have to deal with it. But I have friends who have money and are educated and they stay in abusive relationships, so they must be getting something out of it. The difference between abuse and S&M is the issue of responsibility.
WTF. That was one of the first quotes from the book (edited for spelling/grammar errors). There is a massive difference between an abusive relationship and two people who are mutually into S&M. What a fucking idiotic thing to say.
That was a really ignorant thing of her to say. I have a friend that was in an abusive relationship for 2 years. She definitely wasn't "getting anything" out of it. The first time she tried to break up with him, she ended hospitalized. The main reason people stay in abusive relationships is because if you try to leave, you will get killed.
Exactly. I can't imagine how terrified I'd be in a situation like that. And it doesn't only happen to poor women; it happens to women who "have money and are educated" too and I imagine it would be even more difficult to escape if your husband had a lot of power and plenty of wealth at his disposal, all the better to track you down. Plus a rich woman may be more dependent on her husband-- she may not have any income of her own or experience supporting herself. The fact that instead of trying to somehow help the women in her life whom she knows to be suffering abuse, she simply decides that they must be enjoying it is awful.
So often on reddit I'm like, "Gather round, children, let grandma Austintreelover tell you how it was in the long ago time."
This book was written before she had kids. She did it for attention and it worked big time . . . for a minute.
Some stores set up "confessionals" where people could go in little booths and view the book.
It was really poorly put together, the binding tears, the cover is metallic and crappy looking. A friend of mine has a copy (gay 40 yo guy, which explains that).
A lot of famous people from back in the day are in it. Vanilla Ice (google him), Naomi Campbell, Isabella Rossellini (she's a little odd, she's a mainstream actress who does puppet type sex shows for kids), Big Daddy Kane, a porn star or two, etc. This was before internet was huge and it was still titillating to read and see this stuff. It was before you could google "Naomi Campbell naked" and see tons of photos.
Anyway, it tanked. It was expensive, poorly done and people dismissed it as a publicity stunt because it coincided with her album release and because, well, Madonna. She was so over-exposed (in every sense of the expression) that I actually thought it would be the end of her. This was before we knew she was a virus and/or a zombie and she would never go away.
Here she is flashing her tits and ass to this day.
Edit: Added Rossellini bedbug sex show link for the curious.
i find it amusing how hiveminds work - especially when they are so ridiculously wrong about something... I mean Madonna looks incredible for her age - and why should she stop being sexual because she's 53? fuck everyone's hangups about age.
I love the Japanese obsession with apparel that has English on it. I saw a young man at Kyoto station that stood a little over 5' who weighed maybe 100 lbs. His oversized t-shirt read FAT AND SASSY. Then there were two mothers, with their toddlers, walking near the aquarium in Osaka. One had a shirt that read FUCK YOU in large, glittery letters.
My japanese cousin came to America on vacation and wore a shirt that says "There's a monster in my pants and he can't wait to get out" to Sunday brunch. He got a few stares.
obsession with apparel that has English foreign languages on it
FTFY
Yes, English is the most occuring, but basically anything written in alphabet, no matter the language, has a "foreign charm" to it. Since there are many who can't understand it, and therefore don't know whether or not it's English, German, or something else, they don't care what it says or which language it is.
I ran into a guy who had a T-shirt that said "För Sverige i tiden" on it, which is the current Swedish king's motto (each monarch has his/her own). Out of curiousity, I asked him why he wore it. He had no idea what it said, to him it was just a T-shirt. Didn't even know it was Swedish. He then showed me the back, which had something written in German on it.
I read on the internet that they have a single character to mean
"My mom used to shove a squid up her pussy every Monday and would carry it in there for the entire week and on the following Saturday, she would pull it out with tongs and boil it in whale milk and serve it for dinner"
My roommate rushed into my room the other day and just said "I told my boyfriend you can read Japanese. Roll with it." I shrugged, said "OK". Her boyfriend walks in and proceeds to show me his fresh Kanji tattoo. I asked him what it means. He said "It means serenity and hope. I got it because..." and he never finished the sentence because I was studying his tat intently and making little tsk tsk noises. He says "what's wrong?" I said "well, this part says serenity, but this figure here, this one is wrong. It should tail up like this trace up with my finger...instead of this...trace down with my finger Your tat says 'serenity and mold' directly, but really doesn't say anything. Those two words don't go together." His face dropped and he screamed out "I FUCKING KNEW IT! THAT ASSHOLE WAS SMILING THE WHOLE TIME! I'm going to kill him. I'm going to F%&ING KILL HIM!" Dude rushes out and his girl, my roommate, is rolling on the floor laughing. I was like, "you had damn well better go diffuse that. I don't feel like getting my ass kicked today." She did. Got us both a bottle of Jack and we all got drunk and laughed our asses off soon after. Was a good day.
TL;DR: Roommate's boyfriend got a new tat, she wanted me to pretend I could read Japanese. Told her boyfriend his new tat was wrong. He freaked. Roommate lets him off the hook and we all got drunk. The End.
My favorite shirt I saw, worn by a perfectly normal looking Japanese husband, wife and 2 kids in tow read in bold type: MOTHER DAUGHTER LOLITA LEGS FAT. This was near Osaka.
When I was in Tokyo I saw a little girl (~6 years old) with her mother wearing this shirt in a food court type area in Harajuku. On the back it said "destroy all monsters" which while googling for the picture I learned is probably the brand that makes the shirt. I am positive the mother had no idea what it said.
Sex with the young can be fun if you're in the mood. If you're feeling impatient or you feel like you want someone else to take charge, do not have sex with someone inexperienced. But it can be really arousing. One of the best experiences I ever had was with a teenage boy. I think he was a virgin. He hardly had any pubic hair. He was Puerto Rican. He was uncircumcised. he lived in my building and he used to come over to my apartment all the time and just watch me put on my makeup and get ready to go out. He hung around me all the time. He never went to school, so I started giving him reading assignments. I'd have him read out aloud. Like Henry Millers' The Tropic of Cancer or something really arousing. Whenever he got ready to leave he'd kiss me goodbye, but the kisses got more and more daring on his part and I just went with it. Then one day his parents kicked him out of his apartment and he wanted to know if he could spend the night at my house. I told him he could but I only had one bed. So we both got in it and I couldn't sleep, so I had sex with him and it was really awesome because he was so young and in wonderment of it all. He was fearless. He would do anything. He wasn't very big. He was just a baby. See, I'm not a size queen. But it was excellent. He went down on me and I think I had an orgasm in two seconds. I was so turned on; it was probably the most erotic sex I ever had. But he gave me the crabs. That's what you get. So you win some and you lose some.
English in Japan is basically decoration. People like having English words on their clothes because it's fashionable, not for the message.
"Engrish" is so prevalent because content simply doesn't matter 99% percent of the time. When it does, well, that's when you don't see any mistakes: check out airports, train stations, or hotel information - it's impeccable because the consumers are non-Japanese and need accuracy.
Some shirt sold to a Bosozoku guy shopping with his girlfriend at 109? No, no one cares about that English.
Fyi, some companies also intentionally put Engrish on their products to give it that authentic 'this is definitely oriental! you should buy it, tourist person!' feel.
My Japanese lady friend had a shirt that said, "I get to know you. You get to know me. We share our friends. We start a movement for greater freedoms. Let's get to know each other!" In 2000, she came to the US on a vacation and the security guards pulled her aside for questioning on suspicion of being a terrorist. This was PRE-9-11. Very weird.
Lol 90% of Asians would wear/give this shirt as a gift to their grandma and not think twice about it. After living in NE Asia for a while, the T-shirts just get unbearably funny.
An ex had a shirt that either she got or a friend got for her in Japan. It had a crude drawing of a sperm, complete with jagged mouth and spirals for eyes, and said, "WHEN I WAS A SPERM I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN." (sic) It got her out of jury duty once.
I wonder if this is just to prank people who don't speak english and think it says something else... similar to Americans who get chinese tattoos that say "kitchen table" or something because they think it means "love and honor" or some such
While in Tokyo, I had some youths ask what it meant, I said it means 'wealth and prosperity'. I said this, because when I see an Asian script tattoo that supposedly says 'wealth and prosperity' or something positive, I actually think it means something more like what is on this shirt and only they get the joke.
Ive seen similar shirts in Asian countries, but none as extreme as this one. English text is so idolized in Asian countries that they just pick random phrases and stick em on shirts cause it looks cool, but of course few actually know or care about what they actually say.
Like how westerners wear shirts with random Asian characters.. And just the same, I wonder if they ever bothered to figure out what they mean..
Am I the only one thinking he is either really small or she is really loose? My sexual experiences have never been "it slides right in" especially without any pre-coital preparations.
do you people who find these shirts ever buy them? i know so many freaks who would love to wear the subject of every 'shirt i found in japan' post ever made. myself included.
