Tokyo Blond Is Not Porn

Tokyo Blond is not a porn blog, about hair or even, as one pithy friend remarked, a micro beer or late 1980s glam metal band ("Dude, I just saw Skid Row and Tokyo Blond opened and played a killer set").


The purpose of this blog is to chronicle my experiences in Tokyo - poignantly, visually, irreverently - for fun.


Anybody can tag along...that is if I like you. This blog will endeavor to be entertaining and honest and frequent enough to keep those following interested including me.

Dog's With Fancy Pants

Saturday we decided to head up to Roppongi to go to the movies and see Thor.  The movie was highly entertaining: spectacular set design, cool costumes, great sound, and it was in 3D.  My only criticism - Thor doesn't take his shirt off enough.  I may need to buy a poster.

But before the movie we had a little time to peruse some of the shops and ran across this humdinger. Yes, I said humdinger.  How else can you describe Joker's, a multi dimensional capitalism feast of goods and services targeted to the discerning dog owner and their pampered canine.


First there was the puppy pit and kennel.
Or as they call it "Hotel & Doggie Cloak"

Even I was tempted to buy a small dog.
Just look at that face!

Hey, the dog groomers have a nicer bath tub than I do!

A couple of customers getting the "Joker" treatment.

Yes and after my spa treatment I'd like Perrier 
served with a lamb and rice biscuit.

You missed a spot.

The prices are as startling as the merchandise.
$250 to stay the night.  $6,000 for a bull dog puppy. 
Does the room come with a dog butler and one
 of these gem studded dog bowls?

Just look at the accessory collection!

I think Russell should have this "Fashion Gentlemen" dog leash.
Yes it really says that on the label.

And now your dog can have better jewelry than you do.


I didn't take any pictures but adjacent to the fashion boutique/state of the art grooming facility/puppy pet and kennel is the Joker cafe.  I don't know about you but my dog is always hungry after an afternoon of spa and shopping.  Isn't everyone?
