Silicone sex serial

As silicone dolls gradually edge their way into Japan’s sex industry with rental services and a latex love hotel of sorts, it’s perhaps not surprising that there is now a magazine focusing entirely on this flourishing fetish.

With such a first rate name, idoloid will presumably become the publication of choice for the nation’s doll devotees. Each edition containing glossy pictures of the latest ladies, along with helpful advice for successful ‘relations’.

There are also numerous features to enjoy, covering burning issues such as “Silicone Sex Satisfaction”, “Latex Lubrication” and the gut wrenching but ultimately uplifting, “Love Doll Love”.

Should you really want to, going here and then clicking on the top picture will reveal a few thumbnails from the latest edition. Most of which it has to be said are definitely not safe for work. Choosing the ‘BackNo’ link on the left of the page will allow you similar access to the rest of the issues.

Yearly yearnings

You’ve probably heard it so many times now it fails to have any meaning, but Happy New Year all the same. I hope you are granted the very best of luck in whatever you want to achieve in the coming months.

Certainly a little more good fortune than has been bestowed upon these poor buggers; large numbers of whom could still be waiting in line to make their wishes as I write this.

And quite possibly as you read it.

Even if that’s in mid-march, after a completely unrelated Google search.

Baby boozers

As year-end parties are currently commonplace, there surely can’t be a better time to introduce youngsters to the habit and high spirits of beer consumption.

Ok, so admittedly the drink doesn’t actually contain alcohol, but the design and artwork leave no doubt in regards to its aim. The flushed cheeks being a particularly nice touch.

Some of those brave enough to actually drink the stuff have complained about feelings of nausea, which is arguably quite apt. Although thankfully, uncontrollable urges to remove items of clothing after consumption, or alternatively indulge in a brief spot of fisticuffs, were reportedly absent.

Costly catch

Perhaps due to the proximity of the New Year holidays, the second highest price ever was paid for a bluefin tuna at Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji market on Wednesday. The 325kg catch selling at auction for a staggering 9.75 million yen (48,000 pound).

Which it has to be said is an awful lot of money for a fairly large fish.

A purchase presumably not destined for the canning factory.
