The state of Asian porn

Content providers of Asian erotica once considered themselves members of a unique niche, but they now share the perils and pitfalls of the adult online arena. All ambitious webmasters need to remain vigilant, because adult businesses no longer can afford to see product split into the old brick-and-mortar and click-and-mortar worlds.Companies now compete in an intensely demand-driven environment with consumers’ enjoying an array of options never before available, and so an economic Darwinian situation has developed.

Maggie Q dit it again!

Maggie Q

Maggie Q (half Vietnamese, half Caucasian) did it again! After appearing in Mission: Impossible III alongside Tom Cruise, she now shares the silver screen with Bruce Willis in Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4).

She once said: “Not only do I not want to be stereotyped as this Asian girl who fights – gee, what a wonder – but also I have more to offer than that.” I wonder if her agent heard this, cuz in this movie she is kicking ass again!Ohw, and don’t let the FBI attire fool you, she plays the bad guy… eh… girl! Niiiiice.

Erika Snyder: experimental photographer & model

Erika Snyder (self-portrait)

Erika Snyder is a 19 year old ‘experimental photographer’ and model from Japan. She is half Japanese, half Caucasian.

She does all her own marketing on the web via various sites as Myspace, Flickr and deviantART. Unfortunately there is no YouTube account yet.Personally I love her work (although I think she should experiment a bit more with distant shots, she seems to really like the close-up thing! ;-)), but I am sure you guys have someting to say about it as well.
