maybe you've never heard of this type of establishment before, or maybe you're wondering if i'm sex worker?
so let me clear up any confusion.
the place:
i'm not sure what to compare it to because i've never been to a place like this before.
the pub floor is a large room with a bunch of tables. the seating all faces the stage area, which includes the far end of the room and a runway that extends through the middle of the pub floor.
at each table there's a simple bar with whiskey, shochu, and hennessy along with water, tea, and ice.
there are several shows each night (though the content doesn't change much). the shows are a series of dance numbers, ranging from sexy to cute, and shocking to hilarious.
the job:
the hostesses dance in the shows. in heels (eek!). the dance numbers included a girl's generation k-pop dance, a gangnam style parody, and an akb48 dance, to name a few.
having only worked one day so far, i don't do the dancing yet. but they introduce me as the new girl at the end of each show.
in between shows, we sit with the customers, have a chat, pour their drinks, and light their cigarettes. the conversations go in a lot of directions, but one common topic is transsexuality (childhood, coming out, surgeries, etc.).
and the customers aren't exclusively men. about 20% were women last time.
that's the basics of it anyway. one part dancing, one part hostessing, and one part looking pretty.
here's me after my 8-hour shift (i got home at 4:15am!):

It must be fun to get all dolled up for a night on the town . . . and be paid for it. I hope you are a better dancer than the rest of us Jensens, though! Does this mean you've quit your other job, or are you doing both?
it is kinda cool being paid to get as pretty as possible. (^o^)
are jensens bad dancers? i can't remember seeing any family member dance before. hmm.
yeah, i had to quit the other job. i really don't have time to do both.
