TOKYO —

Actress-model Karina, who has recently turned to fashion designing, on Tuesday unveiled her new line of wedding dresses. During a post-show press conference, Karina, 24, said that she would like to be married by the time she is 30. “I know in the past, when you have asked me, I said 27 or 28. I think 30 would be the latest.”

Karina’s latest collection was her third as a designer and featured 26 dresses, some of which she modeled herself. The dresses will be available for rental at hotels from December.

I agree with Sarge - She looks all right.

She'll have more chance of being hit by a bus than getting married after 30 anyway...

30?.... too old for me.

And what about kids?... I agree with Koda Kumi.

No, thanks dear OBASAN.

The design of the dress is not good at all. Looks kind of cheesy. And there goes that red dyed hair. Boy this is a popular color in Japan plus the curlyness of it too. So, why stop at 30 like you just can't get married after that, what's up with that?

6 more years... hmmm... I don't think I'll be ready to marry her by then... it's going to take another 9 years for me to 'calm down'.

Why is dating someone older than 30 a bad idea? I know plenti of J-females over 30, travelling to China, and just looking to have a 'fun' boyfriend to mess around with.

I wonder what kind of man is qualified to marry an actress/model?

Maybe a singer/songwriter, or an owner/operator, or maybe even an english teacher/priest.

Its usually the directors or other actors that get involved with actresses.

"So, why stop at 30 like you just can't get married after that, what's up with that?"

har har, it's called... Japan. That's why.

I didn't know that Karina had recently turned to designing things... I don't like the dress in the picture, but I wish her the best... I've liked her work in the past...

Another celebrity wants to be married by thirty. Wow. Shocking news though, really.

Why not stick to the traditional Japanese Uchikake? I think it looks way more sophisticated than a western style dress.
