29 février 2012 - TOSHIE COMPTE SA PRISE À CE JOUR. Ils sont composés de 6 pence pour seule brille, ET UN PETIT MONTANT DU CONTRAT D'un hôtel voisin. TOSHIE PRÉFÈRE À LUSTRANTE POUR CHAUSSURES : MODÉLISATION DE LA PLUS BELLE DE TOKYO SHOE-BLACK REFUSE TOUTES LES OFFRES... HIGUGHI TOSHIE DIT QU'ELLE SAIT TOUT SUR LES HOMMES - À PARTIR DE LEURS CHAUSSURES.

Feb. 29, 2012 - TOSHIE COUNTS HER TAKING TO DATE. THEY ARE MADE UP OF SIXPENCES FOR SINGLE SHINES, AND A SMALL CONTRACT AMOUNT FROM A NEIGHBORING HOTEL. TOSHIE PREFERS SHOE-SHINING TO MODELLING: TOKYO'S MOST BEAUTIFUL SHOE-BLACK TURNS DOWN ALL OFFERS.... TOSHIE HIGUGHI SAYS SHE KNOWS ALL ABOUT MEN - FROM THEIR SHOES. SHE SHOULD KNOW, BECAUSE SHE CLEANS THEM - WITH THE MALE'S FEET INSIDE THEM - ALL DAY LONG.... TOSHIE, AGED 23, KEEPS HERSELF BY WORKING HARD, USING LOTS OF ELBOW GREASE, AND A DEAL OF HER OWN NATURAL CHARM, AND SHE WO LON'T CHANGE HER JOB FOR ALL THE TEA IN CHINA OR RICE IN JAPAN! MORNINGS SEE HER AT THE CORNER OF ONE OF TOKYO'S BUSY BRIDGES, SHINING THE UPPERS OF BUSINESS MEN ON THE WAY TO THEIR OFFICES. THE RUSH HOUR OVER, A LOCAL HOTEL BRINGS HER A PILE OF A SHOES TO SHINE FOR THEM. AFTER THAT TOSHIE MOVES HER SITE AND CATCHES THE MEN ON THEIR WAY TO APPOINTMENTS AND LUNCH. WHEN IT RAINS, SHE KNOW A NICE RAILWAY ARCH UNDER WHICH SHE SHELTERS AND WORKS. AVERAGE TAKINGS AT 6D A PAIR, ARE 14 SHILLINGS A DAY. BUT TOSHI BEAUTY BRINGS HER OTHER KINDS OF OFFERS. SHE HAS ACCEPTED INVITATION TO CINEMAS, BUT SAYS OFTEN THE MEN GET TOO POSSESSIVE AND SHE LIKES HER INDEPENDENCE. OFFERS OF OFFICE JOBS SHE TURNS DOWN BECAUSE THE LIKE THE OPEN AIR AND VARIETY OF HER OWN JOB. ONCE SHE WAS PERSUADED TO APPLY FOR A JOB AS A MODEL. SHE FOUND HERSELF WITH 50 OTHER GIRL APPLICANTS AND HEARD OF THE IRREGULAR EMPLOYMENT, COST OF DRESS ETC AND DIDN'T WAIT TO BE INTERVIEWED. SHE WENT BACK TO HER BOOTS AND BRUSHES. TOSHIE SAYS SHOES INDICATE THE MAN. HE CAN LOOK GOOD, SPEAK NICELY: BUT ''WHILE I CLEAN HIS SHOES I CAN TELL FAR MORE ABOUT HIS REAL CHARACTER. I NEVER FAIL.'' ONE DAY, TOSHIE SAYS, SHE'LL CLEAN THE SHOE OF HER PRINCE CHARMING. SHE'LL KNOW - AND THEN SHE'LL SHINE NO MORE. (Credit Image: Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS)
