Please help me
I have found myself in the unenviable position of being completely overworked, and as such, tokyoshoes has taken a back seat. Therefore, dear readers, I need your help. Until the end of this month I am seeking contributors. Please send me your best tokyoshoes-inspired post and I will (if I choose) post it and you will (if you choose) have a link to your own site or appropriate credit.

Posts should ideally be Japan related. Photos of freakish or fashionable clothing/footwear are encouraged as well as stories on the underbelly of Japanese society, annoyances with daily life, strange signs, etc. Please keep the text short and include relevant links and photos. Photos should be web ready, sized to 300 pixels wide (or I will resize), and include a caption. You will receive appropriate credit or be listed anonymously as you choose. Please send posts to nadine@tokyoshoes.com. I reserve the right to post or not post your entry once submitted.
By the way, I pitched this what I though was my very novel idea to a few friends, one of which pointed out that it had already done by the venerable Reverse Cowgirl. Okay, she wins. And, frankly any self proclaimed porn addict who is educating the world to important aspects of Japanese culture, such as bukkake, is alright by me.

Well, if you're still doing this by the time I get back from Canada, I'll be up for a few posts.

I agree with Jeanette!!! Does anybody know what the little symbols on her/his ears means? Obviously, I am not from Japan...

Symbols on the ears? I guess it's just "ki-ki", cause he use to name this character that. And in the Giant Robot store, for example, it says: "Manufactured by Sun Arrow in conjunction with Takashi Murakami/Kaikai kiki."
