There was a thread a few weeks back asking about which expat has been in Cambodia the longest. This has me wondering-- Who is the longest serving hostess in town? I don't wan't names or anything. I'm just curious if there are many who have been working at the same bar, always as a hostess, for four years or more.
I'm not talking about bar hoppers, girls who get fired and move around, etc. I'm talking about a girl essentially working nonstop hostessing at the same bar. You know, like the Cal Ripken of local hostesses. OK, I'll accept an absence of maybe a few months from the bar, perhaps because she was sponsored, or maybe for a very brief stint at another bar that didn't work out, or a night off after a fight with Kevin Costner. Promotion to mamasan or cashier is a disqualifier though.
I think Rose Bar has a few girls (at least one I can think of) who have been on the job since it opened over 3.5 years ago. I also recall some of the Cathouse girls looking like they may have been there since the UNTAC days, but I can't be sure because I only went in once.
There aren't too many 4+ year old hostess bars, so I suspect the winner here might come from Shanghai or Cathouse. Whoever she is, why is she still a hostess? I'd think that within four years even a hostess who looked like Logos could land a sponsor/husband.
Given the high hostess turnover, I think bars should make a huge event out of a girl's three and five year anniversaries, even if it might embarrass the shit out of the girl. You know, have a big party, a few speeches, then the owner gives the girl a golden dildo or something.
Hostess life expectancy
The problem with hostesses is that if they are good then some one comes along and "saves" them with a few weeks. So you really have to wonder what's wrong if they've been working for years.

It seems most you have your heads in the sand. Credible research suggests that most hostesses die of AIDS before age 25. The few who cheat AIDS die of unclean water or malaria. The rest are sold to the West in the lucrative but sordid slave trade where they are forced to eat McD's burgers and pleasure McD eating fatties who are too lazy to fly over to Cambodia on their own.
