Mima, a 22-year-old student from Tokushima, beat out nearly 4,000 applicants this year and will represent Japan at the Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam in July. The 173-cm-tall Mima excels in the high jump and Awa Odori dance.

sincity - "Why don't genuinely beuatiful women enter those silly contests?"

because either their beauty comes from the modesty of not assuming that they are beautiful, or because they are not so insecure as having to 'prove' their beauty to the world.

These two are just averagely pretty, that's all. What a joke

frontandcentre -

well put. That's kinda my take on the whole thing as well. Though I do like eye andy pictures of women now and again...

rjd_jr -- Apparently you like the Barbie-doll -- pardon me, Licca doll --look. Personally, I'll pass. I mean, seriously, look closely at the picture -- they look like dolls, not real women. (They even have their arms/hands posed identically.) If the caption wasn't there, I bet a lot of people would look and think that it is a picture of two new Licca dolls. They look like they would break if you got too "physical", so to speak. Purely a nice arm-accessory.

Mori is hot as hell.... 'Miss Universe Japan' (a joke contest in and of itself) is not all that good looking. Wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers, but hey.

jerseyboy, you are aware that beauty pageants make up their women to the hilt and 'doll like' right? Look at all past winners of beauty pageants and the make up is so thick these two above are nothing unique in that aspect. Criticizing the two women above for the way they look or made up is like criticizing a stripper for wearing a g-string. I seriously think (not you necessarily) that it makes many men here and elsewhere feel better about themselves to nitpick and criticize successful or beautiful women, to hate what they can't have. That kind of insecure personality will never attract any women, hot or not. Though again I do find it rather curious that pictures of women here in skimpy outfits seem to have far more 'positive' comments than pictures of beautiful women in 'regular' clothing.

RJD: "Though again I do find it rather curious that pictures of women here in skimpy outfits seem to have far more 'positive' comments than pictures of beautiful women in 'regular' clothing."

What's curious about that? It's called sexual attraction... and there's nothing curious about it.... unless of course you want us all to die off. I do agree with you on some points, though, mainly that all this is so superficial... but that's life. As for criticizing a stripper for wearing a g-string... she shouldn't technically be wearing anything at all... at least not after the fact. hehehe

I would kick her out of bed for eating crackers.

Peace

She does'nt look too special! May be a change of hairstyle would do. Can we have chibana on POTD please!!

The only way to know if these two are even half-way good looking is to take another look as they step out from a bath.

I volunteer myself to take your test.

They look pretty good after practicing for hours last night to perfect that patented 'Double Mirror Wave.'

And Sarge, you can't see Hiroko Mima's eyebrows because I shaved them last night.

I'm like that :-)

Well, Japan doesn't stand a chance at this years competition!

Nessie - the only thing I'd let her bring into bed would be a large sized paper bag.

Peace
