Smells Like Teen Schoolgirl
October 19, 2014
A headline of possible interest from the Tokyo Reporter:
Tokyo cops bust schoolgirl sniff parlour in Takadanobaba.
If you’re terribly out of touch and therefore unfamiliar with the concept of a sniff parlour, the article elaborates:
The menu for the establishment indicates that conversation is the basic service provided. However, options allow customers to select costumes, sniff the odour of the attendant’s hair and receive a slap in the face. Fees at the parlour are priced at 1,000 yen for every five minutes.
Hey, I’m not judging. I’m just putting it out there.
Via sk60.
1,000 yen is about six quid.
I'm calculating for a friend.

I understand the naughty school girl fantasy is quite a common one, but if they actually were school girls, then I am judging.

In the old days, the slap in the face was free.

For some reason this sprang to mind.

One of many memorable lines from that splendid show.
However, Mrs. Oik and I are of the opinion that this wins by a country mile. Thus far, anyway.
Also: in episode 3 of "The Code", shown on BBC4 last night a young female character asked Jesse, the Asperger's spectrum hacker: "Did you just smell my hair?".

Heh. I’d forgotten that gem.

Actually, Henry, these days what used to be handled by a knee in the unmentionables is more likely to be met with a lawsuit and/or human rights complaint.

An idea occurs- it would be quite a decent prank if someone suggested opening one of these establishments in, say, Berkeley, CA.
It would provoke a sort of Three Mile Island of prudish self-righteousness.
Just saying, like.

it would be quite a decent prank if
Step 1: Announce the opening of such a place in Berkeley
Step 2: Wait for the height of the feverish anti-patriarchy protests (~8 min)
Step 3: Announce what sets your establishment apart is that it's designed to cater to lesbians who want to sniff the hair of a schoolgirl and get slapped
Step 4: Allow the mayor to bestow upon you the key to the city and an urban redevelopment grant in the mid- to upper-six figures.

Alas, I read that as 'schoolgirl snuff parlor.'
