Japanese Booth Babes Blogging It Up

Blogging booth babes? You bet. Reuters is running a piece about the ubiquitous Japanese booth companions, their career goals and the creepy dudes that help make them famous. Says amateur photographer/blogger~~/stalker~~ Wataru Tatebayashi, 35, of his booth babe pics:

Someday these photos will be worth good money. I'm putting some of these on my blog, but the best ones I'm saving for myself and for when the women become famous. It's a long-term investment. Plus, maybe some of them will become my friends.

Some companions have started their own blogs in hopes of building a fan base and get more offers from big companies such as Sony at events like TGS or CEATAC. Don't know which is sadder: The young woman lining up for a short-lived fame and fortune or the men waiting for it to happen just to say they photographed them when. Brian Ashcraft
