Not sure what you're referring to. It's from South Park, is it not?

I Just Figured Something, Can't You Just Be a Super Model Or Something Related And Once You Found Your Agent Then Do Some Gravure Modeling. Cause Finding an Agent To take You Under Its Wings Will Be Easier In Your Own Country Then Finding One In Japan.
Ok I just re-read what you said
and thats a pretty good idea

This is an interesting subject. I considered maybe being a fashion model in Japan since there arent to many blacks over there in that profession (that i know of) Any tips, links or ideas, id really appreciate it. I wanna know how tangible this idea really is.

Actually, in Japan, if you're just starting out then the younger the better...

Gravure idols may not be so hard if you are quite good looking. Not as much as people think. But are you of SE Asian decent? You might get away with being a white girl in a magazine like that, but a lot of men who read them prefer to see women/girls who they can visualize on the street more as someone they'd actually meet...
My dream is very unrealistic since I'M BLACK!
but im very skinny/pettie and i noticed most gravure models are
like that....
ehh o well it didnt hurt to ask
the chances of me becoming popular in japan are close to zero
ahh well ^_^
maybe if i was white...wait a minute if i was white my chances would be raised to atleast 95%

Being white or black has nothing to do with being a gravure model. You need to be Japanese and have large breasts.

Yep. And if you're a 10-year-old with those qualifications, prepare to be rich.

Hmm...

Anyway, don't mention that Emily thing on these boards please. I'm more acquainted with her than I'd like to be. Also, has Syphilis.

99.9% of Gravure Models are Japanese. I am not sure why, as a 17-year-old with the world at your doorstep, you would aspire to what would likely be a flash-in-the-pan career you would probably regret later in life... and the only thing sadder than an aspiring gravure model that finds success is an aspiring gravure model that doesn't.
