Japanese celebrity Yuko Ogura, 24, has been awarded the “1st Japan Gravure Idol Award” by Sankei newspaper’s online entertainment site “ZAKZAK.” The organizers said they chose Ogura by considering sales of her DVDs and photo albums, as well as exposure to media and appearances at public events.Ogura said, “I really appreciate my fans who support me all the time. When I started bikini modeling eight years ago, everybody thought models should have big breasts. But it’s different now. Diversified girls with different characters and shapes can succeed in modeling.”

MTV Ruins Fantasies

Kaila Yu

MTV, with its obsession with reality shows, has ruined my fantasies about several Asian models I had enjoyed. In the early 2000’s, I was a fan of Kaila Yu and Tila Tequila (long before she was Tila Tequila – when she was an attractive, 19 year old model named Tila Nguyen). MTV managed to ruin my attraction to both of them. First, by featuring Kaila Yu on their dating show in 2002 (I think it was called “Dismissed”) and next by featuring Tila in the nauseating series “A Shot at Love.” How many more Asian women are you going to ruin for me?I’m all for seeing more Asian women on television. In fact, I wouldn’t mind more Asian women in every form of media. But MTV needs to stop taking the most beautiful Asian models and putting them on their poorly produced, ill thought out teeny bopper shows, thus destroying the fantasies I have about them as elegant and high class models that only I (and the readers of Asian Sirens) appreciate. And I certainly do not want to see them dating other people. If you want to feature more Asian women on your shows, start playing Asian American music videos and stop trying to hook them up with other people that are not me.

Jeju Loveland

Well it seems the Hyori Lee post below has some people accusing Koreans of prudishness. So in the interests of fairness, I though I should bring your attention to Korea’s unique “sex park”, Jeju Love Land.Here’s some more pics and info:

Asian Sirens is always looking for serious bloggers

As regular readers will know, I haven’t been posting much for the past few weeks. I just thought I’d give a bit of an update so nobody thinks that I’ve given up on blogging. But due to a busy schedule I just can’t find the time to post as much as I used to do. I am hoping to have some more spare time by the end of August.

Furthermore, we’ve had a bit of a discussion about the ‘short posts’ we’ve had lately and the fact that sometimes there was no model name in the post. As much as we like to give more information than just a photo of a good looking girl, these posts are easiest to make and we want to give you something to discuss about. And in my opinion it’s better to have something than nothing. (Feel free to comment on this below this entry.)

Of course we are always looking for people to join our blogteam! So, do you think you can come up with some good stuff to post? Then fill out this form and let us know why we should let you blog for us.
