Everybody Is ...

Everybody is whoring now, from Tokyo to Hong Kong.

This whoring thing is once again confirmed by The Gray Lady in a piece on today entitled Young Japanese Women Vie for a Once-Scorned Job by Hiroko Tabuchi. Whoring is hardly anything new, what's worth reporting perhaps is it has become more and more acceptable and openly prevalent. Many young girls have no qualms admitting that they aspire to be a hostess or a "model" when they grow up. This recessionomy only tends to exasperate the situation as one of the interviewees, Atsushi Miura, an expert on the issue says, and I quote:
“Some people still say hostesses are wasting their life away. But rather than criticizing them, Japan should create more jobs for young women.”
So as long as the economy is still in the doldrums, we will be seeing more of hostesses or pseudo-models in the future. Whoo hoo.
