That was pretty much my thinking from the beginning. I can see all sides of the argument and everybody pretty much have valid points on both sides. But to me, it comes down to what 9ball said so eloquently!

Default Maybe I'm Kind of Dense

but I just don't get the point of it.

What, exactly, does a naked girl have to do with sushi? Either of them stands alone as a perfect art form. Combining the two is just overkill, that distracts from both.

As e.e.cumings noted:

Mister you needn't be so spry
Concerning questions arty
Each has his tastes, but as for I
I likes a certain party
Gimme the he-man's solid bliss
For youse ideas I'll match yas
A pretty girl, who naked is
Is worth a thousand stautues

I was also wondering if you use your hands or chopsticks to pick up the sushi. If you are the model, your two options are a bunch of guys feeling all over you, or wooden chopsticks poking you in the abdomen.

$$$$$$.....being able to charge large quantities of money for something novel would be my best guess.

So what, some one just woke up one day and decided they needed some kind of people draw to their establishment and said lets put sushi on naked Jill over their and that was that? Didn't people think that this would be totally against health standards or just plain stupid?

Default Nyotaimori

This practice started many years ago in Japan, where it is not considered a sexual act. In addition, the higher temperature of the sushi(from the body heat), for some fish(hamachi, otoro) is desirable. From my understanding, most of the time the Nyotaimori(the name for the models) are plastic wrapped or have seaweed underneath the food. A substantial amount of practice and preparation are invested in the models. I think that it is great that someone would be open-minded enough to host an event like this. Also, from the pictures, it appeared that everyone had a good time- that is what it's all about, isn't it?
