Mon-chan in Asia ~ Most Honorable Buttocks Swinger "Mon-chan" (Monroe girl) is what the Japanese called her. A cute nickname, from a culture that greatly admires artful cuteness. And Mon-chan had it in spades. But arrival in Tokyo was bedlam. A 4000 strong crowd met them at the airport. Marilyn and Joe had to be smuggled through the cargo hatch of their Pan Am Clipper to a waiting car. But the frenzied mob began throwing themselves on top of the car, and when finally fighting their way through with a flying wedge of Japanese Police Jeeps to the Imperial Hotel, crowds there began trying to smash down the front door of the hotel. Four guards were placed by their second floor hotel room door as added security. "They're MAD!, I feel like I'm a dictator!" Marilyn said. Asked if Marilyn would be going to Korea to entertain the troops, Joe said "Of course not! She doesn't have an act!"
