Gays galore

As Japanese fads go, the Hard Gay phenomenon has long outlived its shelf life. But as long as Razor Ramon’s character continues to be popular, every Tom, Dick and Harry it seems will attempt to cash-in with literally masses of merchandise.

However for those not necessarily wanting to go all the way — but still prepared to experiment a bit — there are plenty of other options available.

    I didn’t realise that this was a big fad in Japan. I always discover something new here!

    You know, last Halloween I saw a little kid, maybe 10 years old, dressed up in a HG costume!! Never underestimate the Japanese’ love of fads!
