Remember that some actors (lots of them, actually) didn't find fame until they were in their late twenties, singers as well, etc etc.
And models are always very young (some start at 13/14!). Hyuna is a Kpop star which means she went to some sort fo school/training center at a very young age, to accomplish what she did.

>How do these girls do it?

I've wondered that too.
Honestly though...luck.

You need to have gotten the right genetics for the time period you were born in.
(can't be a skinny chick with far set eyes in 1630, can't be a cow with a big nose in 2012)

Once you have that all you need is some drive to do something with it or someone else to spot you so they can use their drive to make you into something.

Now though girls, you are only 20. Life has BARELY begun. You got a good 10 years to do something really substantial and have all your looks to boot. Around 30, unless you take really good care of yourself, looks fade a bit but you can still do some awesome stuff.

I think the secret is not falling into the trap of the day to day. You have to have something you want and you have to work on it a little everyday. Otherwise you get stuck and before you know it a year, then 5 years have gone by.

I think, for those of us that aren't lucky enough to look like say, Chokelate, we should try to develop a talent too. I have been trying to get a lot better at drawing. I figure I can post cute outfits, cosplays, or Lolita coords as well as draw things, so that way I have potentially two things to help get my name around.

Actually I'm not really actively working as a model anymore. Finally found a possible home I could rent, it's ridiculously difficult to rent a place in a city that isn't just a so called "room" - you need to save points for about 4 years before you even make a chance to be able to rent an apartment (I don't have points because I never expected to stay in this country), but I found an amazing house in the village I live in wich has a separate guest stay that's great for my office <3

>>6445393
Honestly, if you really want to do something else it can be worth it to take the risk. However you have to work hard for it and not give up. That's not per se only for things like modelling, but for pretty much anything else that you can't study for :) It can be really rewarding!

first of all being an English teacher is not lowly. being a teacher of anything is something that ought to be highly respected.

secondly, while i agree with you that she's a bit stuck up, she was fiercely dedicated to lolita before she became a model. and to me is great because it means someone who genuinely loves lolita is also modeling it.

Challenge: Live in Tokyo for over a year on a visa.

Obstacles: Must work full-time on your native Engish speaking skills because you are not a native Japanese speaker and your Japanese is not good enough to get a bilingual position.

All work must be done legally and tied with your visa. Money must be high enough to pay for your rent or room and board provided.

So tell me Anon, in glorious Nippon what will your job be? Keep in mind it has to be good enough to keep you in Japan for at least a year and it has to be realistic (ex. your resume and educational background must qualify for it).

>> No.6447978

>>6447959
I guess the point is that Asuka's looks aren't as relevant - she does go to promo events, but it's because her skill is as the designer, not as a model. A model's purpose is to make clothing look attractive. So, although it's kind of catty, I suppose it makes sense that others might criticize her appearance, since it does actually have to do with her "purpose" (aka job). Asuka's job isn't to be beautiful or wear the clothes well, it's to design them, so as long as she represents the brand as best she can, it doesn't really matter if she's pretty or not.

That said, I think RinRin is beautiful and a great model for AP. I'm glad she's having fun!

Why not? What is with everyone hating on Chinese people? Without fucking China there wouldn't be Japan or Korea, damn.

That's a dumb comparison and you are dumb. A better comparison would be Coco Chanel and any random Chanel model.

If Asuka wasn't the ~designer~ then nobody would give a fuck who she was and she certainly wouldn't have a job in AP like RinRin does. Her job might not be being beautiful, but I've never seen her NOT wearing Angelic Pretty and she always looks ugly in them. Either way, my point was that Asuka is less pretty than RinRin. I think Maki is on the same level as RinRin, hence why I didn't mention it. I just don't get why I'm not allowed to criticize Asuka's looks when everyone else is fair game.

I disagree. I think Asuka is quite pretty; she's just not cute. I think her face is more mature and she would look better in at least classic lolita, if not a different style completely. I don't think bright colors suit her face well.

It's not white knighting. It's not falling for the bait and instead, having conversations about her. Too bad your attempt for dramu didnt work.

Bro, you need to chill. You can criticize Asuka all you want, I don't think she's much of a looker either, but when you start asking why Asuka has a job at AP when RinRin is prettier, you're going to get obvious answers because that is a dumb question.

I don't think that person on the right is Asuka, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Where on earth did I say anything like WHY DOES ASUKA HAVE A JOB AT AP? I didn't ever. I just said Rin Rin was prettier. That's all.

>>6448004
No it is.

You do realize this picture is HELLA old, right? Even Maki (on the left) looks busted.
IMO Asuka looks better in candid pictures than posed ones

Yeah. Also Asuka looks way better irl than in photos. She doesn't wear much makeup so her face doesn't photograph that well, but she looks cute in person. Not beautiful, but far from ugly.

If it's hella old, then they should look better. Women only get worse with age.

I guess that's what they look like without much make-up and hair extensions, am I right?
