    Looks like a Picaso picture, look at it as a kind of art. Great colors but the woman face looks bored or drunk.

    PS. she has very white skin. In Japan a beautiful woman is considered a woman with "bihaku hada". So she is the symbol of beautiful skin.

    LoveUSA: "the only scary thing is the snake..." You said it. Just a note. Never EVER try this with a real snake, even for a rock video. Once it starts squeezing, only a chain saw will save your life, and you better have it handy and fired up, because you will have about 10 seconds before your trachea and spinal column get crushed far beyond the limit of functionality. Just sayin.

    Has there been a revolution down at JT? The editorial staff up against the wall and all that? Seriously, after being bombarded day after day by stick-like waifs whose lack of substance all too often extends to above the shoulders, it is rather refreshing to see a photo like this. To use the slogan of a certain credit card, "Priceless." What does it for me is the zombie-like stare....

    Very graphic, or poetic? Maybe this fashionable shoot and the sexy boots excite and inspire you beyond fuctionality. I can feel your pleasure between the lines describing it. Do you have a secret grudge against me?

    This picture is awesome. I love it. Asian women who are overweight tend to carry it all in their belly, instead of hips and ass like Western women. It makes her look kind of like an overgrown toddler.

    This has got to be the best pic of the day for uniqueness. Bizarre pic but followed up by entertaining comments.

    Fat is not beautiful, and its very unhealthy. Voluptuous is beautiful, but this picture is not about peoples bodies, ~its about long beautiful hair~shining, gleaming, black and white~ I'm talkin HAIR!

    Bah nevermind I can't remember the lyrics.
