Where do I even begin.
I didn't finish reading through this thread until now, because every now and then I'd read a comment that bugged me - usually about how "anyone" can look good with a little bit of effort. It is true in PT's case, but for those who lost the genetic lottery and were born with a case of ugly, that little effort may cost thousands of dollars and the results are not always pretty.
Sorry about the rant. Just gets my goat.
I couldn't wrap my mind around the idea how sitting in a steam room and then rinsing with water would get you clean. Turns out, it doesn't. That page about onsen that somebody linked explains how you're supposed to wash yourself (with soap!) before you get into the pool.
Also, do you know if PT takes requests? Maybe someone could convince her to cosplay a character with an outfit that works better with her bodytype. Tokyo Godfathers comes to mind.
Edit for typo.
