Well at least it's not TOO bad. She's just in her underwear. It's not like she's naked or covered in various "fluids" or anything. Neutral

I've seen worse stuff than this on the cover of a Maxim magazine.

This is just part 1 of many hug pillows. Gotta ease into it. Wink

As much as I respect the creators wanting to preserve Ellen Baker's image, I cannot help but find this to be absolutely sexy and that is just an understatement.

As suggestive as this dakimakura of Ellen is, I've seen others that are way more sexually explicit.

One of my housemates used to take great joy in hiding his dakimakura in our other housemates rooms until one of them threatened to beat him to smother him. He seemed a little excited at the prospect of being choked out by Asuka, though.

That said, it's far more tactful than some of the dakimakura out there, although it's a tad disrespectful to have produced this for sale despite Shoseki's request. I guess it can't be helped, though.

I'm most impressed with the fact that she can wear black underwear under a white dress shirt without it showing.

Streisand effect's ultimate form in practice, they should've kept their traps shut.

That said, I wouldn't mind buying an Ellen dakimakura.

The most erotic things in life are actually unsanctioned. True story!

This actually tame compared to more explicit and NSFW dakimakuras.

That is actually one of the more tasteful Dakimakura designs, though I am sure there is much more "expected" versions in existence.

Even if this is more tame than usual, it's sad that the creators went out of their way to request people not do unauthorized stuff with her (especially at all sexualized), and people still do it anyway. :/

This man/woman is asking the real hard hitting questions.

just look at ebay. This and others are there for much cheaper!

And you knew this was going to happen. I'm surprised it took so long actually.
