My name is Baby
On Friday night I was out with a few friends at a sayonara party for "S." She has been in Tokyo for 7 years and is moving to NYC. So sad.
S told me a story about how she was out one night at a bar when a Roppongi guy* came up to her and said, "hey baby," in one of those Steve Martin, SNL, we are wild and crazy guys kind of way.
Without missing a beat, S gives him her best the lights are on but no one's home, deadpan vacant stares, characteristic of blondes in Hollywood B-movies, that I believe only intelligent people can effectively deliver. Something like this:
And she squeals, "How did you know my name was baby?"
The guys answers, "Wow, your name is really baby!"
*Roppongi guys are the expats, sometimes English teachers, and other foreign men who flock to the bars and clubs of Roppongi, a popular nightlife district in Tokyo. Their main objectives are to consume lots of booze and chat girls up, with the ultimate goal of "scoring".
Here we are, the three vixens. Our ultimate goal is to terrorize Roppongi guy.

Nice pics! Just curious, do native Japanese guys also hang out at Roppongi bars?
Also, I can't remember which blog I
read it from -- but I thought most of
the Roppongi guys kind of ignored
"foreign" women as they were more interested in "scoring" with Japanese women.

Maybe he thought they were Russian. Heh.

Most gaijin chicks in Roppongi are either hostesses or Engligh teachers; extra bitter due to their experience of being preferred by geeky Japanese men who are boys, and of not being preferred by foreign men who are there to eat up the rock apes babes like candy - but best of luck to the three of you eager beavers!
ps - no nadine's camel toe? ahh well, so it goes. guess i will have to resort to my fetid imagination. i think the sex shop thing led me astray initially.

Shogun: So sorry to disappoint. You came here looking for one thing and instead got 18 pictures of Japanese pottery and some descriptions of restaurants in Tokyo. Periodically I will try to add some racy stuff because this is what most people seem to ask about and be interested in.
n terms of the Roppongi guys preferring Japanese girls, I am sure some of them do, as Japanese girls seem to be less picky and with the added bonus that they clean your apartment the next morning (or so I hear).
But, may I ask, do we look like wallflowers? I'd say I've been hit on in Tokyo about the same amount at back home (NYC), but rarely by Japanese guys.

what the heck is a "rock ape babe"?
by Dav | 02.26.03 @ 05:04 AM
I think the "rock ape babes" is a reference to a popular Japanese clothing brand called the Bathing Ape or Bape. See: http://metropolis.japantoday.com/tokyo/460/feature.asp

no, no, i think you all do definitely NOT look like wallflowers, i think you all look like you are ready to get cashed in for chips and go party.
libido aside, i can get over my fallen expectations, i can surf elsewhere, start my own site, or just shut the hell up about what i want and see what there is that you want to give.
that is what your site is about, it is a snapshot of things YOU deem interesting and all. just because i do not dig on rabbits and pottery does not mean there is no aesthetic value in it.
one request and i will shut up. can you do BIGGER pictures? just make the fuckers about twice the size they are now. being a shogun that i am, size matters!

Just wondering if Japanese guys get any play from American girls in Roppongi bars? Did you or your friends ever get hit on by Japanse guys?

Come on ladies!Why must it be that way?! Except things for what they are and quit getting upset! Japanese girls are hot. That is a fact. Japanese men (in general, not all...but most) don't know how to treat a woman! They left the door wide open for us! But why get upset if a guy is having a good time meeting Japanese girls? If you you think the place is full of losers dont go there. Unfortunately most Gaijin ladies here either are fat, bitter, of dikish looking so even if I wanted to get a lady from back home there are probably only about three of you out there. Sorry, im sure you will say I am just a loser for stating these opinions but I think most guys would agree with me.

yeah, western girls are like milk cows in comparison to this charming, beautiful japanese ladies. They should stay at home and believe asian ladies are no competition, while in fact they are superior. UK girls drink more beer and forget about your fat flesh. you all stink.
