Blogger Ruminates About British Love Hotels

Live Journal Blogger Click Opera has an entertaining post today (not like we check in regularly or anything) that has to do with dwindling affordable real estate space in London. Actually it's about anything affordable in London these days, including hotels.

So Click Opera thinks that the Brits should adopt the Japanese business model of Love Hotels as a way to at least give folks lodging they can afford. Or at the very least, a place the Brits can shack up for an hour or two when they fancy each other.

What would these British love hotels be like? Instead of love seats, karaoke, porn vids, Playstations and jacuzzis, perhaps it'd all be red plush, dart games, turkey buffets under silver salvers. Perhaps you'd be able to dress up as a beefeater, play indoor golf or shoot clay pigeons before fucking. There'd almost certainly be fitted carpet around the toilets and a letterbox passersby could piss into, soaking a glossy heap of upmarket estate agent magazines.

How about a royal family fantasy where you can be either Charles, Camilla or Diana? Maybe even the Queen Mum if you got a thing for geriatrics.

Click Opera then mentions the opening of the Yotel capsule hotel chain in London but laments that it's not an hourly rental. The rest of the post downward spirals into Kelly Osbourne's opinion of Love Hotels ("I feel like I'm getting gonorrhea just sitting here") to the demise of the original Love Hotels in Japan to where Japanese teens looking to do it on the cheap do it, (rented booths at a manga cafe or Yoyogi Park--"Because it's dark there, it doesn't even matter what they look like.")
