Filth Wear

Oh god! How could I have forgotten to put this picture on the blog?! My heartfelt apologies. While waiting for a fisherman's boat to take us out to see the famed blue coral in Ishigaki, we were approached by 2 small children. They were incredibly cute. After giggling at us for a minute or two, one of them commanded with glee, "EIGO SHITE!" ("Do English!"). Apparently a foreigner is more of a treat down there then on Okinawa. Happy to oblige, we approached and gave them a feeble, "hello how are you?", or something... I can't remember because it was at this point that we get close enough to read the kids hat. It's the weirdest hat that anyone ever made for a 5-year-old Okinawan boy's head:

In case you can't read it, it says:

FILTH WEAR:
FETISH FASHION LATEX CLOTHING RUBBER BONDAGE ACCESSORIES

Püh, and American parents worry about what their kids are wearing.

I would have traded the shirt off my back for that cap. What a gem.

it's worth noting, however, that his shirt is a reference to andy warhol, so it's not all bad.
