(>.<)b<br />Actually hostessing isn't really much of a career, all of them work for a few years as hostesses and then either get married or set up small businesses, because it really takes a toll on their health.<br /><br />Plus the working atmosphere is extrememly competitive, I've read about clothes being shredded by rival hostesses and rumours told to clients to avoid certain hostesses from getting more clients.<br /><br />But yea, I agree, it's nice to be paid to look pretty and other countries the only similar jobs we have is stripping or being social escorts, both of which are definitely looked down upon.<br /><br />@ さらまり - Definitely check out the vid, it's quite nce that they balanced it out by showing both the good and bad sides of the industry and that the women for once aren't blamed for entering the industry.<br /><br />I agree, often the men are ugly old perverts who want to be lavished with attention from pretty ladies and often the hostesses get requests for after-hours paid dates with these said men. Some even sleep with them but that's all under the table of course. <br /><br />Their health suffers alot that's why alot of them last bout 5-7 years max and then quit.Hortaruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503879657808296880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063101790392278218.post-64455950776784810972010-04-09T12:08:13.020+08:002010-04-09T12:08:13.020+08:00I think there is a glamourous side and a ugly side...I think there is a glamourous side and a ugly side to hostessing.<br /><br />The customers are usually old, unattractive and patriarchal men who treat the hostesses not quite like ladies.<br /><br />And like you said their skin and health suffer from the working conditions.<br /><br />I am going to check out that video link.

I think the women who make it in such a career have to be 100% committed to entire hostess lifestyle, but I can see an upside to working so hard as well (especially with the sisterhood formed with other hostesses).<br /><br />Personally, I think I'd enjoy getting paid to put that much effort into my appearance and receiving compliments from guys all the time. Hehe. It's a real ego fueller XD<br /><br />What upsets me is the fact that the equivalent we have in the UK involves stripping or table dancing, and is completely seen as a degrading job.Charlottehttp://blog.lucky-merry.comnoreply@blogger.com
