Apparently 22 degrees Celsius is the best temperature to eat chocolate. At that temperature the chocolate is about to melt and causes the biggest sensation. So why not add a dot to the package that turns pink when the temperature hits that very same 22 degrees? Via Fresh Creation.
And if you don’t like chocolate, but want to learn more about Ryoko Shinohara, then Wikipedia has more on her.
Maria Ozawa as a Game Character
Some guy in the Philippines decided to turn Japanese AV idol Maria Ozawa into a character for the game Perfect World.
Too bad for him Maria plays Guild Wars instead.
Comedienne Tina Kim
Even though a rare breed, there are several pretty Asian female stand-up comedians on the circuit these days. One of whom is Korean-American funny girl, Tina Kim, who was born in Seoul and immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 4. She’s a former TV news anchor who now books and produces most of her own comedy shows.Tina’s humor can be a little on the “blue” side at times (like another popular Korean-American comedienne, that I don’t think I’ll mention by name), but she seems to appeal to a pretty wide crowd. You can catch more of samples of her humor here at her Youtube account.
Oh, and for those of you who might have been thinking she’s not “Asian Sirens material”:

Get Into the Holiday Spirit with Ai Tominaga
In a series of photos for Gap’s current ad campaign, “Holiday Classics Redefined,” 25-year-old Japanese supermodel Ai Tominaga and her son Akitsugu look absolutely ebullient while playfully modeling their Gap attire.
Ai is the current face of Moschino and has appeared on the cover of Japanese Vogue. She has walked in runway shows for Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Michael Kors, Valentino, and a host of other high-profile designers.
Thanks to this blog for the advertisement scan, since it’s not posted in Gap’s Image Library.
