From Japan, via Yaohan Plaza (now Mitsua Plaza) in Edgewater, New Jersey, comes "CuteHoney". I had no idea what "CuteyHoney" was, but guessed that it was a cartoon aimed at young girls.  It was the the present of "Escort Honey" that sold me. While I'm sure that by "escort" they really mean "flight attendant", it creates the notion that these cuties may be prostitutes doing fantasy role-play for their Johns.

     Apparently that isn't far from the truth. Since my posting of this, a friend advised me that CuteyHoney is softcore anime porn. According to him, CuteyHoney is a superheroine who "changes into the different outfits to get powers, and there's a prolonged nude scene during each changing where she basically spins around naked for awhile."

     This makes things a little weirder than I thought, because I am absolutely positive this notebook is marketed to younger teenage girls. Each ruled page is pink with little hearts and various images of CuteyHoney with her sword. It was nestled among Hello Kitty and other girlie things.  Who's more twisted, the Americans or the Japanese?
