Pornogami
filed under:
In elementary school, I use to juggle. I was never great, but I could do it. What I was great at was the yo-yo. I was a yo-yo maniac. I was a Tom Smothers devotee, and, yes… I was just as cool as I sound like I was. Also among my strange, circus-like talents was Origami. Sometimes I would teach it to the 1st graders for extra credit. My poor parents had rooms full of cranes and lizards and ducks and little frogs that jumped when you pushed down on their asses. I call them poor, but they can be thanksful I never had this book. This would have had me expelled in no time flat.
Come to find out it’s not the only book of it’s kind. Universe Press has a book titled Very Naughty Origami, and in reading about it I stumbled acorss one called Kokigami: Performance Enhancing Adornments for the Adventurous Man. Yes. Paper Adornments.
There is also an entire web site dedicated to providing resources to the horny paper folders of the world. Found, oddly enough, at the zork.net domain, Origami Underground aims to “inject a little irreverence into the oh-so-proper origami world.” I’ll leave it to you to decide how irreverent you’re comfortable with.
