sorry to break up the back n forth, but when can we expect scans of the full article?

also, I don;t want ayu to go all lady gaga vulgar, but this pic is fine with me. very fine ;)

Come on guys.

This is the real world. And I'm sorry, no matter how much everyone wants everyone to be equal, they aren't.

There are absolutely double standards and different standards when it comes to men and women, and sadly, we have to live with it, continuing to try changing it.

Now...some people might think it's vulgar, others don't. Who cares. That's them.

I, personally, think it's sexy, mature, and beautiful. From someone who is constantly searching for the reasons why people think a naked body is vulgar...I think it's high time that we left those puritanical views in the past, and walked forward into accepting humans for what they are.

And, we are beautiful. Why not show it off every now and then?

In any case, I don't think this gives you guys reasons to be asses to each other. My god. Do you know how ridiculous some of you look right now? :no

And no, I don't just mean GRACE.

Oh!! It's clear to me now when she mentioned on TA that she had her nails red to match the theme to the shoot she was doing. I know it's in black and white, but they look like they'd be red and red nails = sexy.

Back to my post above - I AM COMPLAINING about her look all the time (bawww, her hair is bad, her pose, blah blah, she's too cute! bawww mummy give me an icecream..) BUT as I said. The MUSIC is priority. She can look like an alien, i will not stop stop listening to her/being a fan/carry about her carrier JUST BECAUSE of her image. Amen.

WOAH this kind of shocked me!!! :O

really wouldn't have expect a half naked Ayu...was expecting somehow a cute posing Ayu...

kind of speechless right now or rather don't know how to find/feel about it...but Ayu suprises me everytime...

According to me you're the voice of the reason.

Adam & Eve were naked people, go back to the Eden garden ^^

Woah! I didn't expect this!!! Ayu looks hawt!!!

& I really don't see why there is some controversy since this is just 1 picture of a photoshoot. And she's not even showing anything. >_< Besides, she's 31! She can do whatever she wants. :yes

Closing thread temporarily. Don't open a new one.

Thread reopened. Please stay on topic and don't dig up old comments.
