Postby amdg » Wed Aug 10, 2005 7:09 pm

10 August 1982

"Born in New York but raised in California, Devon is no stranger to the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Her father is former Olympic wrestler and Benihana Steakhouse magnate Rocky Aoki, and her mother is Pamela Hilburger, a jewelry designer. Devon is of Japanese, German, and English ancestry. She started modeling when she was 13, the same year her godmother introduced her to modeling legend Kate Moss. She is now the face of Lancome and is one of the top earners at her agency, Women." - imdb

Her father is more interesting. He might be rich, but is extremely thrifty. The word is, he married his last wife, a management consultant to his company, only to avoid paying her fee. Also, he has been in some legal controversies for doing insider trading.

Yes... rich people often are...

That's the word is it? Do tell. But how does that make Devon, stuck up?

I sincerely doubt that you know what insider trading is, even though you managed to spell it correctly.

amdg: Your reaction seems somewhat hostile. How come? If there are some errors in my writing it is only because English is not my native language. I happen to be married to a woman related to Rokki Aoki and who has stayed in their home many times.
I do not spread rumours without a good source to back it up.

My only problem is that you don't spread any rumours.

Devon

Postby Somerandomgaijin » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:20 pm

She's okay. Not exceptional for a "bi-racial" being. I have seen better/I have seen worse.
What reason would she have to be "stuck-up?"
Her father started the TEPPAN craze in America, or she has been a model; so what's the proverbial rub?
1. The Teppan thing preys upon American stupidity.
2. Model. Model? Usually women who are exceptionally beautiful&anorexic are models (the exception being here in Wa-land.)
3. Money. It has to be the fact that dad has some cash.

Okay, Random is rambling. Stop that.

Some-Random-Guy-Country-Outside-Person :P

Ps. Why is it, in Korea they had a Happy Birth Day song in Korean, yet Japan doesn't? Here goes the bilingual version...
Sang il chukkah hamnida (omedetou gozaiimasu)
sang il chukkah hamnida " "
sang il chukka _____-sshi (omdetou gozaiimasu daredemo-san)
sang il chukkah hamnida (Happy Birthday to YOU!)

Watch out, Mulboyne. asdg might take it personally if we talk bad about Devon and her father. He seems to fancy her quite a bit.

Sophie is pretty in a Russian kind of way. She's not ODD or FUNNY Looking at all.

I don't know if that idiom is much of a complement unless you are talking about corruption.

Meh, not that I'm a prize winner, but I don't think she's attractive.. and she sure as fuck annoyed me in 2 Fast 2 Furious.. (the whole movie did of course, but she stood out.. probably the PINK car.)

She sure as hell wasn't my top choice to play Miho in the Sin City movie. I think she's a little too goofy looking to play a character that was originaly drawn to be a ukiyo-e painting come to life.

Edit: Then again, Chiaki Kuriyama probably wouldn't have beent he best choice either, but I woulda used her. A young Meiko Kaji probably woulda been the best actress ever to play Miho.
