Print Club

Hey everyone!  I have a big post coming up about the concerts we've gone to in Japan, but until I figure out how to get the videos off my newfangled camera here's a post about PRINT CLUB!

"Print Club" refers to the crazy photo booths they have here in Japan.  It's a really popular pastime for high school girls - they get all dressed up and head to the arcade to get their pictures taken with friends.  The best part about the machines is that it significantly alters your appearance to make you look  "beautiful" - it gives you big ol' dewy anime eyes, applies make-up, and has a bright enough flash to wash out any blemishes.  (Of course, since we're white people, it makes us look like Voldemort as a drag queen.)   Afterwards you get to put stamps on the pictures and draw on them and stuff.  It's great fun!

Anyway, we've done Print Club a few times since being in Japan.   Here is the photographic evidence!


I love hunging out with you too.  This is how it's SUPPOSED to make you look.

... but this is how it looks on white people.  Terrifying!

Another example.  Love the one with the beer and the "CRAZY!!" stamp.
