Paris should just move to Japan. They love her so much there. And they don’t watch The Hills, so they don’t know what a douche Doug Reinhardt is.
Paris spent the day tooling around Tokyo with new flame Doug, promoting her fashion line, Honey Bunch. It is my understanding that this is a Japan-only brand. People are making it seem like she designs the line, but, based on the Japanese sites I’ve looked at (hooray for Google translate!), it appears she’s just the spokesmodel. This is what they say on the website for Shibuya 109, a major Tokyo department store that sells Honey Bunch:
The trend for this autumn is the “Marilyn Monroe Look”! As Paris Hilton has become the promotion model for “The Honey Bunch”, she has not only transformed herself into the widely-popular Marilyn Monroe, a much-loved icon by ladies all around the world, but has also become a symbol for sexy-casual style. Some popular trends here include comfortable-fitting suits and pleated skirts.
Uhhh, I don’t know that Paris has exactly transformed herself into Marilyn Monroe. She’s missing, ya know, the curves. But I’m sure she’s making an insane amount of cash for this — Paris isn’t passe in Tokyo yet — and I bet she even made the company pay for Doug’s ticket out to Japan. Why wouldn’t he come? It’s not like he had anything better to do.
paris, here’s a little fashion tip from me to you: when you have feet the size of battleships, never wear pink t-strap shoes. never.
kinda harsh she is built like a supermodel, tall, skinny and sadly big feet. Big feet come with height like that, i mean girlfriend is like 5″10. Still at least this dude is tall enough for her.
I am a ex-pat high school teacher in Japan and all my girl students love Paris Hilton. It’s that dream of cute boys, name brands, tiny pets and glamor that all teenage girls fantasize about while I am trying to teach them grammar.
Oh yeah… the girls do know about The Hills here. We are a modern civilization here in the land of the rising sun and do have MTV. I was discussing The Hills with a group of some of my more silly minded students the other day and they were completely crushed when I mentioned that this show was mostly fake. One girl even got teary eyed over the disappointing news. Ohhhh teenagers…. Wherever you go in the world, they are always the same.
You have to remember in Japan they think we think she is the epitome of female beauty. Just like they think KFC is an authentic Christmas Dinner. (I am serious, I taught ESL there for 3 years.)
They like her because she looks like a real life anime character.
ugh, she is no marilyn. lacks the looks *and* the charisma.
What “Hello Kitty” is to cute, Paris Hilton is to Celebuslut.
She epitomizes the concept of Celebutard, she’s as recognizable as a corporate logo, (You only need to see her for 3 tenths of a second to get the concept) You can plaster her image on anything from a lunchbox to a vibrator and it will sell.
She’s perfect for Japan.
OMG I Love Paris Hilton, and pls back to Japan anytime as you want Paris, you will be always welcome here,
Paris we love ya!!!!!!
