Ex pornstar Tabatha Cash; half Asian or half African?

Tabatha Cash

Tabatha Cash is IMHO one of the most erotic women ever to enter the Adult Industry. I thought she was half Japanese so I figured I could post her on Asian-Sirens. But according to Wikipedia, “she falsely claimed to be half-Japanese, half-Italian to create an exotic appeal – she is half-French, half-African. In fact, her biographical remarks are surrounded with falsifications. She also claimed to have studied law at University of Paris II: PanthΓ©on-Assas, another assertion she could never confirm.” Well, whatever the truth may be, I think she looks very exotic.

I only saw her in the mid 90’s in two Ed Powers productions (The Dirty Debutantes series), and immediately thought she looked very special and never forgot her name. She is believed to have starred in about 150 hardcore films, mostly in Europe where she had some fame. She grew up in Paris and entered the porn industry when she was only seventeen years old (she faked her way into the industry), a career that lasted only four years. “I called myself Cash because I always needed it. I love money. I spent it on flats and other good stuff.”Her career boomed in May 1993 when she won an award at the Hot D’Or, porn’s version of the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or, for the movie “RΓͺves De Cuir 2” (“Leather Dreams 2”). During 1994 she hosted a highly rated radio show on the French station Skyrock where she gave sexual advice and quick instructions to insecure French youths.

After leaving the industry she was highly critical of it, claiming that working in porn was just the same as being a prostitute only with a camera present. “I was a prostitute. I sold my ass.” and further “I only had fake orgasms [on camera], I’m a good actress. The guys who work in that business are so ugly and so stupid they are victims because they don’t have anywhere else to make money. The men are all stupid and the women are all horrible.”

What Tabatha Cash has done since she retired from the public is not known, but according to herself she was “not made for work”. At the time she wanted at least three or four children and to stay at home and be a mother…

Kaede Matsushima

Kaede Matsushima

Long legged Kaede Matsushima , born on November 7, 1982 in Fukuoka (Japan), debuted in Japanese Adult Videos when she was 19 years old. Since than she is one of the most popular Japanese AV stars. And although I’ve never watched one of her videos, I can imagine why.

You can find her official website at matsushimakaede.com and her blog at blog.livedoor.jp/matsushimakaede.

Last month, Kaede Matsushima was featured on the Italian porn blog Numerozero (see also this gallery). Definitely the most complete picture gallery can be found at scanlover.com (only for members).

Maggie Q

Last week I saw a very stupid movie: Naked Weapon. The only reason why I finished watching it, was because it was full of beautiful Asian girls πŸ™‚ One of the lead actresses was Maggie Q. I did not think her acting was very good, but I will not pass final judgement untill I have seen more of her films. It could have been the script and director that ruined it for her.

Maggie was born as Margaret Denise Quigley in 1979 in Honolulu, Hawaii. She has a Vietnamese mother and American/Irish father (some websites also mention Polish & French). I think she looks a bit like Jennifer de Jong, who is half Chinese/half Dutch.She is a successful model and rising actress, featuring on magazine covers such as Cosmopolitan, Elle, FHM, MAXIM (be sure to check out the photo’s!) and Marie Claire amongst many others. Her film credits include Gen-Y Cops, Manhattan Midnight, Around the World in 80 Days, Rush Hour 2 and Naked Weapon. She is currently shooting Mission Impossible III.

Japanese designer; Makoto Nakamura

Makoto Nakamura

Because I am a designer myself, I would like to post about design every once and a while. But of course only about design that has something to do with (Asian) female beauty! Would not want to chase you all away! πŸ˜‰

Today I present to you the work of Makoto Nakamura. A Japanese designer born in 1926. I will not bore you with his biography, but the man won several awards and his work was exhibited in the Louvre in Paris and the National Museum of Modern Art in Japan. Check out more of his graphic work here.

My thoughts on the design? Beautiful eyes! ;-)top-right: Subtle Perfume Drives You mad / Shiseido Cosmetics, 1978 (103×73 ofset)
