. . . I have dated better looking chicks.

Technical point, maybe, but I'm just not sure that you can call those 6 or so hours before they sober-up and escape, "dating". ]http://www.fuckedgaijin.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2533&stc=1&d=1180501680[/IMG]

Maybe. Then again, maybe not.

But I'm quite sure that, in either case, they didn't stick around.

BUSU?
I thought she has typical loved-by-gaijins looks though.
You seem to be japanized considerably.

Just goes to show the gaikokujin have good taste.

Beauty rather than a mis-perception of cuteness



and a fondness for bad teeth that only the British can rival.

Don't underestimate French-Canadians.

I read this Japanese bad teeth thing often on this forum and I am not sure where it comes from. I don't see Japanese having worst teeth than what I see everyday in Canada. Sure some Japanese girls have crooked teeth but so do others.

There are three traits that are not uncommon in the Japanese female population:

1/ recessed canine teeth which leads to the "bad teeth" comments. Genetics
combined with less interest in corrective orthodontics than in the West.

2/ pigeon-toed or "in-toed" walk. Not sure if this is genetic or just some bad fashion sense. Elderly people who've spent their life sitting cross-legged also have a distinctive, but different, walk.

3/ wandering eye which leads to the "cross-eyed" comments. Genetic

Having said the above Japan has more than it's share of stunning beauties.

Don't know much about French-Canadians.

She looks Korean. Maybe that's why she won!

1/ I have noticed that sometimes and it doesn't really bother me.

2/ My daughter has that. It must be a fluke genetic thing.

3/ never noticed that.

4/ French-Canadians pull their teeth instead of fixing them. Many in their 30s and 40s wear dentures. I have never seen that enywhere else in the world.

Back to the oroginal thread. I emailed pictures of the beauty queen around my office and the verdict is unanimous: Miss Japan is hot and deserves to win. Except for one stupid female bitch in HR who replied (reminded me) that such e-mails are inapropriate in the office. As if I needed any more encouragement for wanting to leave this fucking coubtry.

1/ The recessed canines in specific don't bother me either.

Elective cosmetic eye surgery is more troubling.

2/ I always thought it was a genetic trait.
But then I came a across a lot of sites claiming it's a "fashion statement".
In retrospect it's probably too hard to do unless you're born with it.

3/ It's a rarer trait, I think.

4/ Mon Dieu. Sacre bleu.

5/ I'm surprised given the PC enviroment in N. American offices that you sent the pic around. The response of the "one stupid female bitch in HR" is not exactly unexpected.

Do you live in the province of Quebec? In my travels, they struck me as less uptight about such matters.

After Miss Universe Korea finished 4th in the competition, some Korean netizens have been wondering whether Miss Universe Japan had an advantage in the competition since Mikimoto and Tadashi were two of the main sponsors.

That's exactly what I was alluding to in my previous post. Typhoon, you're not really addressing the point by dismissing the rigging as commonplace. If Mikimoto's sponsorship gave her a leg up, then she probably didn't win on her looks alone.

Nevertheless, I'd do her in a hearbeat.

Well, the Koreans have a well balanced attitude to things Japanese -
a chip on both shoulders.

There's certainly no shortage of beautiful Korean woman, but based on the photos I'd say that Miss Japan is the better looker by far, pants down.

Memo to Korea. Next time don't send someone whose name sounds like it came from a Bond flick - Honey Lee.

As least it wasn't Pussy Galoree.

[maraboutslim]

When I read Miss Korea's name in the paper I laughed my ass off. I asked co-workers all day long what impression they'd have of a woman named "honey lee." Every single one answered either "porn star" or "stripper".

[halfnip]

Go to the Miss Universe site and have a look at Miss Korea's interview. The shit is so scripted and fake... That's why this girl didn't win. Not to say I'll let her slob my knob any day, all day though....

Hey, am I the only one who checked out the MU site? Come on guys, fess up... LMAO

[Typhoon]

At least "Honey Lee" (left) already realizes and fully accepts the final destination of both "actresses" - THE PORN INDUSTRY!!!

I guess we can take that on good authority
given the it's coming from a fluffer such as yourself.

[TFG]

She has that Chihuahua like look to her...Gag me with a spoon.

And, No. They don't stay around. Who wants them to?

Not only that, they don't even show up in the first place.

Honey Lee barely looks Korean. She's either mixed or had some serious plastic surgery.

[Takechanpoo]

needless to say..

Miss USA trip an internet hit

Stuff.co.nz | Wednesday, 30 May 2007



The video clip, which shows Miss USA Rachel Smith slipping during the evening gown competition at yesterday's Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City, is one of the week's most popular videos.

Smith recovers well from the trip, continuing to smile and wave at the crowd after picking herself up.

The video is one of YouTube's most popular entertainment videos. By 2pm on Wednesday it had had almost 300,000 hits.

The Miss Universe contest was won by Miss Japan Riyo Mori, a 20-year-old dancer.

Smith, who was also booed by the Mexican audience during the interview stage of the competition, came fourth.

Shit. Have you read through the comments on here? Looks like Takechinpo has a lot of friends on Youtube.

Here's the headline on US plastic surgery site Make Me Heal:

Did Miss Universe Riyo Mori Have Plastic Surgery?

Sadly, the pictures are of Miss Korea (identical to the ones T-Poo posted above)

Yomiuri: Beauty's 'Japaneseness' criteria

The accomplishment of Riyo Mori, a 20-year-old dancer from Shizuoka Prefecture who won the Miss Universe 2007 pageant last week, appears to offer a good opportunity to review changes in popular perception of beauty in the past century. Mori's victory in the contest in Mexico on May 29 marked the second time a Japanese contestant was crowned Miss Universe since Akiko Kojima in 1959. Mori's triumph came 100 years after the first full-fledged beauty contest was held in Japan to choose the nation's most beautiful woman. It was held in 1908 under the sponsorship of a newspaper, Jiji Shimpo, that invited entries from across the country for screening through their photos. Winning the beauty contest was Hiroko Suehiro, a student at Gakushuin women's school and the fourth daughter of the mayor of Kokura, now part of Kitakyushu.

Prior to the contest, most beauty competitions limited participation to geisha and actresses, according to "A Hundred-Year History of Beauty Contests," by Shoichi Inoue, a professor at the International Research Center for Japanese Studies. Inoue, known as one of Japan's foremost experts in beauty studies, said in the book the 1908 beauty competition backed by the newspaper was significant in that it was open to all women nationwide except geisha and actresses. The contest was designed to choose a "beauty with worldwide appeal," since the event was in response to requests from a U.S. newspaper for selecting the "fairest of the fair of the world." How Japanese participant Suehiro fared in the contest is unknown.

===

It seems that a great majority of Japanese in those days, judging from popular novels of the time, took a rather pessimistic view of the looks of Japanese women when compared with those from abroad. A painter who appears in a novel by Soseki Natsume, "Sanshiro," published in 1908, laments that those deemed as beauties in ukiyo-e woodcut prints, for instance, "have disappointingly narrow eyes compared with the clear-eyed women depicted in Western paintings." That character goes on to say: "There's no Japanese woman on earth comparable to Madonna of Raffello Sanzio! Should there in fact be such a beauty, she would never be considered a Japanese."

Another master writer, Kahu Nagai, returned home that year from studies in the United States and France. The hero in his novel published the following year, "Shin Kichosha Nikki" (A Diary of a Man upon Returning Home from Abroad), remembers what he heard from a Japanese painter staying in Paris. He was quoted as saying, "As far as Japanese women are concerned, I can't portray them as figures with attractive impressions."

Such assessment of Japanese women's looks seems not to have been limited to Japanese men. At the outset of a novel by Saneatsu Mushakoji published in 1912, "Seken Shirazu" (Ignorant of the World), a letter from a woman was cited as reading, "I like only paintings on the theme of Western women, as I dislike the complexion of any Japanese woman." The reason for the pessimism about the appearance of Japanese women was simple enough: The sense of beauty in those days was based on a predominantly Western aesthetic sense. Given the Western yardstick for gauging beauty, many Japanese in that era would probably not consider Japanese women very beautiful.

How can one highly regard the beauty of Japanese women? One way is to change the "norm of beauty" from Western standards to those based on feelings prompted by ukiyo-e, for instance. In fact, Kahu ceased to complain of the lack of beautiful women in Japan, becoming absorbed in Edo-period (1603-1867) figures depicted as beauties in ukiyo-e. It may be a thing of the past that many Japanese a century ago had an intense inferiority complex toward the Western world regarding the beauty of women.

Cosmetics manufacturers, for instance, recently have been placing particular emphasis in their advertisements on the "beauty of Japanese and other Asian women." Kao Corp.'s Asience cosmetics series is touted as "designed to boost the beauty exclusive to Oriental women." Kao's Asience TV commercial stars Kurara Chibana, the runner-up in last year's Miss Universe contest. Another major cosmetics maker, Shiseido Co., uses the catchphrase, "Japanese women are beautiful!" in the ads for its Tsubaki lineup, a new line that went on sale in 2006.

The trend in cosmetics manufacturers' ad strategies appears to be in line with the recent tendency to appreciate Japanese traditional culture, directly lauding the ideal of Japanese feminine beauty. The news that Mori has won the mantle of "the world's most beautiful woman" seems timely as ever.

===

Reactions to the news from my female acquaintances, however, are mixed. Many, while welcoming Mori's win as good news, are skeptical of the wisdom of her heavy use of makeup in the contest. Though her pictures seen on the Internet are mostly natural, her makeup on the Miss Universe pageant stage was a bit much, making it questionable whether her victory can be a true recognition of the pure, unadulterated beauty of a Japanese woman, some said. As Prof. Inoue, the beauty studies expert, put it, "She [Mori] may have applied her makeup heavily in order to stand out in the stage lights, just as all of her rivals did."

It is without doubt, however, he said, remarkable changes have occurred in the public's responses to the Miss Universe event. When Kinuko Ito of Japan placed third in the 1953 contest, most Japanese were jubilant, as they thought it was a case of a Japanese woman whose ideally proportioned beauty was recognized as having merit on the world stage, the professor said. "Immediately after being informed of Mori's victory in the latest pageant, I thought there would be a deluge of phone calls to my home from media for my comment about the news, but there actually were only a few," he said.

Seemingly linked to this may be the rising tide of voices against the holding of beauty pageants and the resulting decline in their popularity. In addition, the time has probably passed when people in Japan yearned for the Western criteria of beauty that centered on a tall, well-proportioned figure. Considering the reactions of my female acquaintances to Mori's makeup, it seems an increasing number of Japanese women may want to see their "Japaneseness," their beauty as it is, recognized at home and abroad.

All of this is confusing to me. Can any of my YBF-inflicted brethren explain how Asian women can ever have been considered unattractive? Booth, this make sense to you?

None at all. Worst I ever had was nothing short of magnifiecent. Also, you have to remember even if you discover that rare one that others might consider ugly, carry on, full steam ahead. Ugly pussy is grateful pussy! I support your sig, bird!
