When I first put Tiara Ayase on my list, she was a Gravure idol that had a lot of very cute photos. That was not that long ago … Maybe, 3 months? Now I decided to feature her, and apparently within that time she has become a nude model and AV star. Who here is sad that I waited? Show of hands?Stats:

Even though at this point it would take me about a year of posting every day to get through my list of Asian models, I’m still always looking for names to add to the list. When searching “ShaveAsian” (I hate these site names), I realized that this website is the most blatant perpetrator of trying to pretend their models aren’t Thai on the Internet. Some 200 models, not one single Thai name. They even mixed ethnicities, with names like “Kimiko Chang.” Wow. So here is “Tanya Chan.” Guess what she is …Stats:

Ribith Leang is a popular MySpace model, featured on a variety of websites like this one. I have a soft spot for Cambodian women after some great personal experiences, so it is always fun for me to feature one. Ribith Leang was born in the Philippines and I believe is still modeling today.Stats:

Hired through agencies by businesses promoting grand openings, special events or sales, these ladies can be found outside the entrances to night clubs, restaurants, stores, or even in supermarkets like Jang Yoon-jeong, the lovely lady pictured above (and not to be confused with the singer of the same name). Their duties include such things as handing out flyers and promo freebies, delivering sales pitches, and dancing to pulsating techno music pumped out by large PA systems under archways of colorful balloons.In addition to their appearance, these girls are chosen through auditions for their speaking and dancing abilities, and have to be of a certain size, in order to fit into the outfits provided to them.
There aren’t too many images of these ladies around the net (and I state that after searching Korean portals for them) and one reason for that is, despite their high visibility while on the job, a lot of narrator models aren’t too keen on having their photos taken, which is something this blogger will cosign to. The snapshots below are from my personal collection, all taken by myself.
Another example of the 90s-style outfits the girls wore

The ladies in this group were happy to have their photo taken and even got up to pose and dance when I approached them on their break.
At a bakery’s grand opening
This was an unusual narrator model sighting as they were outside the exchange on a US Air Force base in Korea. The girls were primarily there to provide the eye candy while a lady off to the side was delivering the sales pitch for military calling cards, in English.

Gas stations occasionally use narrator models in their promotions, as shown here.

during the Christmas season. This girl was also part of a chorus.
Very young-looking (but over 18) doumis who promoted the re-opening of a popular Songtan night spot with cheerleader-type outfits and dance moves.
Grand opening of a Popeye’s Chicken franchise
An example of two doumis who were not keen on having their photo taken. They wouldn’t turn back around until I put the camera away.
Handing out free samples in the Myeongdong district of Seoul, which is always a good place to catch narrator models, even off duty ones.
Seoul narrator model, Choi Ji-ae was recruited by her friend to help sell her store’s overstock of wine when I saw her. Not only was she very charming, her English was nearly fluent, thus breaking the stereotype that narrator models cared little of study and even less of English when they were in school.
Sometimes attraction is simply due to approachability. Take Azusa Isshiki, for instance. She’s probably objectively an average JAV model, but for some reason she has this aura of approachability that gives her bonus points, at least in my eyes. The photos are fairly conventional, there is nothing particularly unique, but I like looking at her because I feel like she could be someone I know, and that’s sometimes a nice feeling.Stats:

When I was younger, I wanted to be a lot of things when I grew up. I wanted to be a fireman. I wanted to be a police officer. I wanted to be a singer, an actor, a baseball player, a football player, an astronaut and a novelist. The one thing I didn’t want to be was a stool. Boy was I ever wrong.Stats:
