rainbows & lollies

There seems to be a type of Lolita Syndrome going around specifically amongst the Korean community.

The stars these days, or maybe just in the K-pop realm, seem to be getting scarily younger and younger. Or maybe it just seems that way bc I'm just getting older? Pretty soon, anyone born in the 80's will seem prehistoric... (Can you believe high school kids these days have no idea what "Saved by the Bell" is?)

Anyway, I guess the U.S. has its Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, & the Jonas Bros., but do they have 40+ year olds feening/lusting over them? Okay, maybe they do, but I'm sure the majority of their fanbase is pubescent tweens and it'd be considered somewhat taboo for older, middle-aged men & women to admit to being in their fandom. But in Korea, people are pretty shameless about their pedophilic desires. My friend once told me that one of his friends worked at those Korean bars/clubs frequented by older women, seeking a jolly, good time with younger male waiters and that these kind of joints are pretty popular. In Japan, they even have "menus" hanging outside of the clubs, displaying all the photos of the young, pretty lads and lasses you can choose from. It made me feel kind of gross. Do we have anything of its equivalent in the U.S.?

I remember when there was that public uproar over Miley Cyrus' Vanity Fair shoot, where she was posing topless (though she was fully covered by a bedsheet). See, Koreans are a bit craftier with their methods of marketing their young 'uns. They brand them with the overly-innocent, prized-virgin appeal. Though they're 16, make them act/look like they're 10. Ah~ but don't forget to put them in shortass skirts so that they still have sex appeal, leaving audiences rather conflicted... "Am I supposed to find this hot? And if I do, am I going to jail/hell?" It's all kinds of wrong, but that's the entertainment industry for you...





my boys... how they've exploited you~


Even If you asked me a year ago, I would say that I would only date older guys, preferably by 3+ years. But now, I would say I wouldn't mind dating a younger guy. After all, they'd probably smell nicer, be more agile, less hard-headed, and more fun, right?

Ick... what am I saying... I don't ever want to be a "madame."
