A brief look on ViVi magazine’s models.
Having spent quite an amount of time trimming clips of ViVi magazine, I always have the impression that ViVi had at most 6~7 models running in full rotation and they are tall and mainly of mixed race models.

But, after flipping through this month’s special section on “ViVi model’s beauty secrets”, it came as a surprised that I have been imagining something different all this while (- – #)

For one thing ViVi has a team of currently, 13 models working to sell its brand.
Ages and height varies widely among the models.
And they aren’t all mixed races…

For those who yearns to know more about ViVi models, this article contains pick ups of each of the model’s brief profile (full name, height & date of birth).

A continuation of yesterday’s post on Fabulous 40s, 50s Japanese beautiful women.

Don’t you agree that all these women look overly stunning? Do they fit into your image of how middle age women should look?

It is every women’s dream to look forever young. Today, I will introduce a few fabulous looking middle age Japanese actresses, whose beauty has withstood the test of time (neared abnormal level) in my opinion.

They could probably be holding the mirror each morning, laughing away, thinking how fortunate they are, to be able to age so beautifully. How many people could get away with aging, I mean.

Beautiful with great style, they are known as the beauty siblings in Japan.
The eldest is Carena Michibata, followed by Jessica Michibita and the youngest, Angelica Michibata. They are full-time model and talent, no qualms about it with their “super long legs” and charisma.

— Does the face of Jessica Michibita (center) ring a bell? She is well-known for her high profile relationship with Jenson Button, British Formula One driver. —

They are “LIVE EXAMPLES” that heredity plays a part in beauty.
Most probably, their exotic looks came from their father who is a mix between Argentine & Italy.

Without doubts, they make lots of heads turn on the streets.
Ok, enough about the envy. Everyone’s life is special in their own way, I think (*’-^)

Momoe Yamaguchi, a Japanese actress and singer who reigned the 70s. Nicknamed as the “cool beauty” by the Japanese, she quitted showbiz at the height of her popularity and had disappeared from the entertainment scene since. She was 21 years old then and to this day remained a pop icon.

To quit at the height of your career might not necessary be a bad choice. She could be smiling her way knowing that after all these 30 years, her songs are still favorites in mimic programs and TV here sometimes play footage of her days as singer.

Everything about her is just a mystery as she remains a legend in the heart of many Japanese.

To some extend, I somehow feel that Aya Ueto (another popular actress, singer in Japan) resembles Momoe Yamaguchi. Ueto is nowhere the “cool beauty” of Momoe, in fact the very contrary. She is very lively, chirpy and has a very energetic feel. Why I feel that they look alike is another mystery myself.

Maybe some might disagreed about their resemblance. But both are no doubt the representative actresses of Japan, in different generations who win the hearts of many Japanese.
