In the past few years, the demand of show girls was on the rise. Show girls originally came from Las Vegas, they are a bunch of girls dressed up in pretty and glamorous clothes dancing and performing on stage. But now in Asia, show girls are more like models, they show up in commercial events to attract customers, man, for most. And whenever there is an exhibition for cars or video games, there will be tons of show girls in it. I’ve seen a lot of news headlines that says something like ”Sexy show girls exposed themselves makes the business blooming”. The news emphasized on how hot and beautiful the show girls are, and put some matching photos beside the content of the news. I’m against being show girl as a career; there are some problems about it.

I found a piece of news on the internet; it came out at February this year. At the international video game exhibition, a model was forced by her agent to take off her bra when there were a lot of eyes watching. The agent told the show girl she was going to wear something like an office lady’s suit, but when she got to the exhibition, the agent made her wear something that wasn’t what they agreed on, and insist her to take off her bra to fit the outfit. Show girls don’t really have their privacy. When they go on auditions, companies will see them as merchandise instead of living people. They look at show girls’ bodies as if they are picking out a good pig to make pork. And when they’re at work, there’s always press that tries to shoot their underwear and their breasts. They have to obey every demand that company asks them, or they won’t get a chance to success in this career. They want to protect themselves, but there are a lot of times when they just can’t say no. Companies want them to be puppets; exquisitely made and easy to control. If they refuse to wear what the companies want them to wear; they’re jeopardizing their future career.  And after they become famous, those photos or what they did before they were famous will be used against them. People will call them slutty and desperate, these are all bad image for a girl. Even if they stop being show girl after a while, bad reputation isn’t something that can be taken back easily. For the above reasons, I think being show girl as a formal career isn’t a really bad idea.
