Surely The Day Of When …

"There is nothing anywhere" …
What a splendid sales pitch for your online shop.
"The highest class maid dress of a prejudice you."
"CANDY FRUIT if it is called maid dress."

I was over at Tokyo Times yesterday and they had a link to this site selling "Maid" costumes.
Up until that point I had never really considered dressing up as a maid, but temptation got the better of me and I clicked the link.
I am a huge fan of Engrish and this page just made me giggle like … well … a schoolgirl dressed up as a maid … ahem …
So click on it and delight in the wonderful phrases.
If my Japanese is anywhere near as silly as their English I shall have some serious fun in Tokyo.
Oh, and visit the site and buy a maid dress. You know you want to.

Nah thanks, Dive...
There is Nothing Anywhere. I do think this is marvellous. Sales and marketing convention at its best. Not.

dive said...

Hee hee.
Surely the day of when!

Scout said...

Flutteringly Favorite. Thanks for digging this up, Dive. You've made the world brighter day.

dive said...

You should see me in my maid outfit!

Cheltenhamdailyphoto said...

We'd rather not, actually, Dive. Though i can't speak for Old K.

This is right up my alley dive. Playing dress up - I wonder how Lynn would look in one of these or perhaps Robyn?

Scout said...

Rich, SHUT UP.

dive said...

I'm right with you, Rich.
How about it, girls?
As the site says:
"Once it experiences black maid dress …"

Sassy Sundry said...

I can't look at that here, Dive, so I'll have to look later.

There is Nothing Anywhere. I think I'm going to start saying that to people at random intervals.

dive said...

Damn!
I felt sure those repressed types you work for would love to see you in a maid's uniform, Sassy.

Crumbs, mate, you shuold try the separates first and then top it off with the Lolita stuff. Then we'll walk you down the main street of Oodnadatta. You'll get rushed off your feet !!!

dive said...

hee hee hee.
Dive, Queen of the Desert, eh?

Sassy Sundry said...

There is Nothing Anywhere.

Not even a maid's uniform.

dive said...

Drat.
Poor McI.
You will have to entice him in other ways (as I am absolutely sure you already do).
As you so rightly say, "There is nothing anywhere."

Sassy Sundry said...

I haven't heard any complaints.

I think I would were I to don a maid's costume.

Scout said...

I think I like this phrase "there's nothing anywhere," almost more than "flutteringly favorite."

I'll join you, Sassy, in saying it randomly--also in a respressed environment.

Cheltenhamdailyphoto said...

Okay then, i'll put it on and serve you coffee, Rich. Once. Then we'll never speak of it again.

Cheltenhamdailyphoto said...

And to you Dive, if you'd like. Though i am English, not Japanese. I can say arrigatogosaimassu though, if only in bad phonetics. That do you?

dive said...

どういたしましてリンさん。

NB: if your computer doesn't support Japanese characters, go and buy yourself a proper one.
And a maid dress.

Cheltenhamdailyphoto said...

lol i was attempting to say thank you very much. Konichiwa.
No it doesn't support them Dive. If i could buy a better one, i'd be there today. :( lol!!
