In a move that seems almost extremely reminiscent of the Marc Jacobs ‘protect the skin you’re in’ campaign which involved getting as many famous ladies naked as possible, Devilock (whose website is surprisingly NSFW) have teamed with up with Red Ribbon (a charity established by Yahoo! Japan to educate people about AIDS) to create a series of t-shirts to raise awareness about growing rates of HIV in Japan.
Since my love of Japan extends to food, robots, and massive buildings, and not to some of the most famous women in the Japanese adult industry (that I’m going to admit publicly, at least), I don’t recognise the names of any of these AV Idols, but just for accuracy, the ladies involved are: Akiho Yoshizawa, Arisa Kuroki, Honoka, Yuma Asami, and Rio (as I would assume you’ve guessed, some of those links are fairly NSFW). I can’t decide whether its bizarre or brilliant that the women chosen for this campaign work in an industry which is notorious for sexually transmitted diseases, but either way I’m happy that there are naked women on t-shirts and that the proceeds will be going to a good cause.
Apparently the tees are on sale here, but since the site is in Japanese I struggled with it and eventually gave up looking for them. Story and pictures via Wrongwroks & Freshness Mag
