Just when I feel jaded about the blogosphere, I discovered a new blog InvisibleGaijin that mixes wicked satire and faux news with a focus on men’s fashion. Swoon.
The above is from InvisibleGaijin’s story about Japanese underwear, which connects undergarment obsession with recession and soshoku danshi (herbivores), and in part reads:
Self-professed gaijin with love/hate relationship with Japan, Fuzakeruna Konogaijinme, commented, “Japanese salarymen always turn inwards in recessions, peering into their navels in hopes no one notices they don’t do shit at work. Underwear that makes your balls feel good always sells.”

Hi TokyoMoe,
Many thanks for the positive feedback, always appreciated.
The men’s fashion scene, or more precisely the things men wear in public, is a constant source of inspiration.
I look forward to following your blog posts, keep it up!

Thanks, Invisible. Yes, indeed, I saw the matching hair and fur collar post. I schedule a re-blog for tomorrow. I hope you don’t mind this borrowing (^_-)
