    Observations:

    the model on the right is clearly a professional, with her smile, and eyes and other assets pointed directly at the camera.

    the model of the left, is looking off into the distance, and her left hand is clearly curled in the well know satanic cult symbol.

    I believe this to be an indication of the impending end times.

    Mona is half-J/half-Norwegian. I've run across J-girls that "looked" caucasian occasionally and they weren't "haafu" or anything. I've also ssen J-girls that looked non-JP and non-caucasian. How many years have you spent in Japan to have reached your conclusion?

    Wrong. In general, Japanese can be considered the closest to caucasian of all Asians. A few Japanese could pass for caucasian, but many have what we would consider to be caucasian features.

    I thought Suzannu might be half because she has the one gaijin name and I think its the effect shes going for with the 3 TONS of makeup she uses.Either that or New Half.

    Mona's body language reveals she feels insecure. Probably, because she standing next to a beautiful model.

    Liketis,

    Where is the scientific evidence that Japanese are considered the closest of all Asian to Caucasian? A lot times Japanese people have other ethnic backgrounds in their family lineage. In the past, they would usually try to hide it. We are talking about a country steeped in class systems and xenophobia. This is a homogeneous society (at least in theory) and being mixed has only recently been considered a plus.

    We should be very worried about famous tv personalities using satanic cult symbols. I checked tv this morning and found 3 other people using these. We should all be on our guard!

    Another pair of awful shoes. Yesterday it was Emiri in her knock-kneed/ pigeon-toed pose with PM Aso, today it is Mona's turn. Adriana's strappy shoes are so much more elegant...

    While Mona smiles inward, Adriana smiles outward broadly.

    Very funny. I was not talking about a nationality obviously, but rather an ethnicity.

    Mona is not intimidated or insecure. Japanese body language is different from Western. BTW- Nice gang sign in Mona's left hand.

    Stop with the line drawing! It's getting tired.

    Adriana is promoting her line of cosmetics so she HAS to look stunning and ravishing 100% of the time. Mona's just there for the ride...looks like she was about to say/do something when Jun Sato took her photo.

    I see two women, each fortunate to be beautiful, and each in their own way. Why do people need to bring up 'race' ?

    Karembeau is one lucky guy and was a good prolific football player.

    Pah! Race, heighth, eye color, face shape, hair length....they are just descriptive words to me, not that much meaning beyond that.

    ALL races are beautiful in their own way, not sure about Mona though.

    Ken_chan,

    Some body language is cultural but not these signs. It also the context of the situation and knowing previous history about Mona. She is definitely showing insecurity, not taking anything away from her appeal.

    The shoes look uncomfortable. See the toes of Miss Karembeu, see how pinched. Ouch! Miss Yamamoto's toes are hangin out her shoes. Ouch again! I do like Miss Yamamoto's dress. Classy and not green.
