Japanese love hotels....
I found this post on Boingboing.net and loved it so much i had to share it here with you
The Japanese have a great erotic aesthetic. I so want to go tour the love hotels...
Photographer Misty Keasler's book Love Hotels documents the curious, strange, and kinky theme rooms inside the Japanese hotels that are usually rented for short times and a very specific purpose.
Inside, you'll visit the Hello Kitty S Room (image below, left) and the
High School Room at Osaka's Hotel Adonis, the Arctic Room at Snowman's
Hotel in Kobe, Subway Room (image below right) at Hotel Loire in Osaka, and
my favorite, the Alien Abduction Play Area also at Hotel Loire. Reminds
me of San Luis Obispo, California's Madonna Inn only, ummm, different.
The book's editor at Chronicle, BB pal Alan Rapp, tells me that prints
from Keasler's Love Hotels series will be exhibited early next year at
Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Photography (1/25-3/24), Jenkins Johnson Gallery (1/27-3/3) in New York City, and Photographs Do Not Bend (2/16-3/24) in Dallas.
