Many of my female university students earnestly state they wish to become air hostesses. Their look of satisfaction at their choice of career path fades a bit when they hear that the monthly salary is 150 000 yen. <BR/><BR/>On a related note I lazily popped on the TV and chanced across a program where a man, dressed as a woman (perhaps a woman in a man's body?) was giving makeup tips to a passel of high school girls. Her/is name is "Ikko" and s/he is seemingly an authority on makeup to the extent that the girls were scribbling down verbatim notes of his explanation with a rare intensity. The model was transformed from a lovely, fresh typical young woman into an exquisite creature. For example Ikko attached tiny feathers to her eyelids so when she blinked the feathers trembled like butterfly wings. Perhaps there is something where young Japanese women are seeking some kind of transformation?Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083523225961467347noreply@blogger.com
