My understanding is that in Japan it’s pretty much impossible for a smoking hot blonde to give offense no matter what she does.

An acquaintance of mine who was blonde and attractive - think "cute," not "hot" - was a mediocre singer by professional standards, but she made a very good living by warbling in Japan.

I was talking to a woman at work the other day and discovered she lived for a couple of years in Japan. I asked how she liked it and she said she did except for two things: she is tall and blonde so she really stood out and wherever she went everything would just stop. People would stare, come over and ask if they could touch her hair, stuff like that. They were fascinated by it. So I'm guessing seeing Ivanka there, if anything, pleased them.

It reminded me of a story my dad told me. He served in the occupying forces in Japan in the early 50s and he said that the GIs with red hair had it made, every Japanese woman was fascinated and obsessed with them. He had black hair so I guess it worked out well for me, since he didn't bring home a Japanese bride before he got a chance to meet my mom!
