Red Panties & Pink Salt

[Taro Toporific]

I was out shopping yesterday and ran into two Japanesque oddies at ODAKYU Department Store:

1. "Tradition dictates that it brings good luck to wear red all year long during your birth year .... many in the Year of the Monkey prefer red underwear because "some monkeys have red butts too." See alss akapantsu, or red underwear for luck
VS 2. Pink Rock Salt, blessed by pink monks
