I have seen her in person in the airport. That is how I got into modeling. I always thought models were stuck up and not nice in every sense of the word. But meeting Ai was awesome. She was super tall compared to any man or woman, especially in Japan. I approached her as she ate her salad and asked her if she was a super star (she looked extremely suspicious). For she had a tux with a skirt. She had glasses and so I asked her if she was famous in any way. She said, "please don't tell anyone" As she didn't want a riot. Her two friends would not be enough to push through. I kept silence and asked her for her autograph. Typical I suppose. She is extremely serene and very smily. I went home and did some research on her and discovered the modeling world. I have been a fan since.
