Amusement Parks: Going for a Thong
The themed entryway into a Disney park, Universal’s Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, Alton Towers or indeed any well-designed amusement park property contains images, signs, sounds and symbols that promise thrills and high adrenaline experiences and build a heightened sense of anticipation in the visitor. Guests at Love Land, “China's first sex theme park,” will be greeted by a pair of huge, disembodied legs...
Perhaps there will also be the cheery faces and extended hands of amusement pa
rk employees at the gate – but there will also be this arresting view: a set of lady’s legs and hips with a red thong, revolving on a circular platform. No upper body. She’s big on the
derriere
this girl, no
décolletage
to speak of, indeed no head…
Love Land's leggy icon will certainly build a sense of something powerful in the park-goer and perhaps make him (or her??) receptive to the Chongqing based amusement park’s other attractions, the naked sculptures and exhibition of the history of sexual practices in various countries. One high spot promises to be, as a story in
The Guardian immodestly relates
, the “oversized replica of a set of genitals” leading to the question of what is the
optimum
size for a set (pair? package? portfolio?) of genitals.
Long live astounding cultural differences!

Whatever next! I'm sure this could be a lot of fun in the 'Carry On' tradition but if you need to go - well, maybe you shouldn't! I'd hate to think that anyone would go away thinking that women only existed from the waist down - much more to us [and sex] than that!
Incidentally, does the 'Carry On' tradition mean nothing at all to some blog readers?
