Kelly Osbourne Turning Japanese! 2

in this episode where kelly need to become a Manga Cosplay. Manga (cartoon) magazines are huge in Japan. Japanese youngsters like nothing better than to dress up as their favourite character and show off to other lovers of fantasy. Of course, its something Kelly cannot resist.

With the help of a new Japanese friend Mai, Kelly has just 24 hours to pull something spectacular together. They hit the town and buy a manga doll for inspiration, on which Kelly will model her look. A purple wig, several metres of shiny fabric and a hilarious fitting session later, Kelly hits the stage before several hundred other similarly dressed hopefuls.

It was a great morning out, until a Japanese photographer suggests she strikes a pose that is innocent. Dejected, Kelly gets out of her costume and heads home. She tries to cheer herself up by lose herself in Tokyo's spectacular games arcades, but it only worsens her mood.

Next, she works in an oxygen bar. Instead of having a couple of beers in a conventional bar, customers can plug into a pure oxygen tank, a setting that looks more like a sci fi movie. The experience is supposed to relax and revitalise and can even help to burn fat. Despite still struggling with the language, Kelly loves working at the oxygen bar and she even puts an oxygen unit on her Christmas wish list.

Kelly and Yumi visit a Host club, a nightspot where hard working Japanese women go to becourted by young Japanese men, who have a strong line in shiny tuxedos and cheesy chat up lines. The men feed Kelly strawberries, pay her compliments and then take the courtship to the next level with a Japanese drinking game, Pit Pat Pong. The climax is a series of baffling, but hilarious impressions of Robert De Niro and Mr Bean. Kelly is won over and hits the surreal dance floor with her new male companions.

The next day Kelly returns to the traditional and spiritual side of her quest, when she leaves Tokyo and heads for the beautiful mountains to become a Buddhist Nun. Midway through a lengthy sermon on impermanence Kelly dissolves into a fit of giggles. She spends the rest of day out of uniform and applying herself to a series of Buddhist tasks.

Back in Tokyo, she takes part in a mass Buddhist and uniquely Japanese event of the Burning Doll festival where people of all ages queue to burn their treasured childhood dolls. It is said to release emotion, be symbolic of life transience and bring good luck. Kelly is strangely moved by the whole event and reflects on her mum's battle with cancer. It seems as if Kelly is finally settling into the country she loves.
