Hawaiian actress Kelly Hu can be seen in the new Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 videogame. The trailers unfortunately only show her for a split second.

Betel Nut Beauties (also known as Betel Nut Girls) are young women in Taiwan that sell Betel nuts, cigarettes, and other types of goods by standing behind a clear glass window wearing very, very little and bringing the foods to customers when they need them. To an outsider, it can appear to be public prostitution (the women bring it to the cars of men and they showcase themselves like goods) but it is a completely clean business with beautiful women and very little fabric.

More after the jump.There is of course controversy behind this idea as it appears to exploit women and, again, many people do not realize that they are actually performing a legitimate task. But the reality is that these women get paid fairly well, and are essentially just saleswomen dressed sexy.

A Dude That Incorrectly Thought This Was Prostitution

Always wondered how a plasma TV works? Ziya Tong (of Chinese and Macedonian descent) explains its inner workings on the pilot episode of Wired Science on PBS. (Thanks to fromkhaos for the tip!)

I’m wondering what the readers of Asian Sirens think of Esther Ku. A few weeks ago a post on Xanga by somekoreanchick (“Why I will Never Date a White Guy: Asian Girl/White Guy Not for Me“), which had been posted on July 8, started to get a lot of attention (over 50,000 views, which is off the Xanga scale). In it, she describes Esther Ku as a “self-loathing girl who makes me want to vomit.” Take a look and tell Asian Sirens what you think.Please don’t comment on somekoreangirl’s Xanga site. A recent post of hers (“For the last F*@&% Time“) says, in part:

“Do Not Bother posting anything if you are going to fucking argue with me because I am so sick of reading misunderstood shit.”

So, tell Asian Sirens what you think.

Before I started writing on this website, one of the ways I was advertising my book was by posting random videos of Asian women that I downloaded onto YouTube. The videos were chosen relatively at random, using only videos I came across in my travels that did not appear to be on YouTube yet.What I found particularly strange however, was that two of the most popular videos I posted were not of some attractive model that everyone was searching for. But rather two videos of Japanese women bouncing on large rubber balls.

Okay, euphemisms aside (Asian girl, balls, I get it), is there something “hotter” about large rubber balls than, say, a cute Japanese girl in just a bikini? Does the ball make it that much better?

I’m looking for the Asian Sirens opinion on this. But I’m looking for an honest opinion – is there something about these Asian girls bouncing on balls that would be more attractive than other YouTube videos of Asian women.

Examples of other videos:

Example of a video I used for advertising that got fewer hits:

Often on Asian Sirens we discuss attractive models. But nothing is more fun that randomly clicking through web pages and coming across some random photograph where the Asian woman in the photograph is so attractive, we have to pause for a moment an appreciate.

Take the photo above, for instance. This was taken at Wonderfest Tokyo in February 2008. I think the girl on the left is one of the most attractive Japanese women I’ve ever seen.While it is possible the girl on the left is a model, I’m going to go ahead and guess that it was some random Japanese woman that decided she wanted to dress up for the event. And while I do not expect everyone to agree with me that the girl on the left is that attractive (I like dark tans and eyeliner – that’s not for everyone), at the very least I’m sure you all have come across photos like this in your travels where the girl stops you dead in your tracks for at least a few seconds, and you know you will likely never see a photo of her again.

I’d encourage people to post them below, though I’m not sure what Siren’s rules are on non-model photographs. Still, at least we can appreciate it when it happens.
