I saw this on another forum and just had to share:
Beautiful 43 Year Old Japanese Model Looks Like She’s In Her 20′s, Garners Huge Chinese Fanbase
* November 14, 2011
Japanese fashion magazine model Masako Mizutani is stunningly beautiful. Her goddess-like appearance and smart style have enchanted people across Japan and her official blog, where she mainly shares cosmetic product recommendations, has earned her a steady fan base of both men and women looking for beauty tips.
What’s really stunning about this Japanese Aphrodite, however, is that in addition to being a model, Mrs. Mizutani is a 43 year old housewife with a 20 year old daughter.
Mrs. Mizutani became an instant celebrity in 2009 after appearing on a Japanese television variety program where she shared the secrets of her age-defying looks.
Now, it seems like her beauty has led her to a big international break. After being introduced on a Taiwanese news site, images of Mr. Mizutani began appearing on Chinese microblogging sites as “Japan’s Lady of Eternal Youth,” and soon her popularity in the country exploded to the point where a Chinese fan-made blog about her has reached over 10,000 followers.
However, it seems that upon hearing the secret to her eternally young visage—spending roughly 5 hours a day on skin care and makeup—some Chinese internet users were turned off, citing the peculiarly popular-in-China Helena Rubenstein quote: “there are no ugly women, only lazy ones.”

Even if my life were organized in such a way that I *could* devote five hours/day to skincare - would I want to use my time that way?
I don't think so. Maintaining my health and looks is important to me...but so is exercise, spirituality, time with friends and family, expanding my mind and just life itself.

I'm going down to the blood bank and donating all my Type O blood and getting a transfusion of Type A.
Some days it feels like I spend about 5 hours on my skin - I've got enough gadgets to spend twice that long really - but it's just not getting me the same results as Masako!
I think Asian women age much better than Caucasians - just think of the doll like Geishas. Also the Japanese tend to like child-like things - that's why Louis Vuitton brought out that range of bags with the cartoon motifs on them (can't remember the name), Japanese being the largest consumers of Louis Vuitton. Japan is the land of Hello Kitty after all. |
