purikura?

Speaking of schoolgirls. Here is something i found. people who have seen a french movie with a strange girl as main character know that there is nothing suspicious about picking up pictures from people, even if they are schoolgirls, like in this case...
in fact, the purikura - as they are called in japan - are quite a phenomenon with schoolgirls, or girls in general for that matter. they would take these pictures of themself with their friends in special photoboxes that can be found in the average game center, and collect them in books. there is a great variety of machines. different backgrounds, for different ages, with different esthetics... the point is to take the pictures and afterwards edit them with a diversity of special effects, as you can see on the example. this is very refined and great fun, you use a pen on a touchscreen. in other words, divert interest away from your ugly face or embarrassing pose. to add a twist, a timelimit is given.

maybe i'll post my own collection, someday ; )
