Purikura!!!

How I managed to miss out on this amazingness while I was in Japan, I'll never know...
..but it just means the second I return I know the first thing I'll do...

Purikura!

What is purikura you ask?

Wikipedia says:
In Japan, purikura (プリクラ?) refers to a photo sticker booth or the product of such a photo booth. The name is a shortened form of the a registered trademark Purinto Kurabu (プリント倶楽部?). The term derives from the English print club. Jointly developed by Atlus and Sega, the first purikura machines were sold in July 1995.

But until I return I can satisfy my purikura プリクラ cravings with this site!

Here's some of mine:





I love the glitter and glitz and crazy tacky stickers and stamps - and oh em gee guys, the real machines make your eyes all anime crazy-like!
