body sushi
 n.— «Rachael was a human sushi platter for the evening, the centerpiece of an opening party last month for Hadaka Sushi on the Sunset Strip. Taking gentle breaths, she kept as still as possible so as not to disturb the clusters of oil-infused sushi rolls, sashimi and other pieces of raw fish artfully arranged on the banana leaves in a style known as nyotaimori. Nyotaimori is a Japanese term that translates as “female body arrangement.” It is also known as body sushi.» —“Selling the Sizzle Even Though It’s Sushi” by Eddie Lin in West Hollywood, California New York Times Apr. 18, 2007.
