She is stunning in person I have seen her many times.

modelgirlie, have you talked to her?? she seems like such a nice person, very down to earth... am i wrong?

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.

she is she seemed a little shy and standoffish but I just happened to be on a go-see while she was at a fititng in the same building I think. We passed each other and said hi.

:claps: Is it possible? Has Ai just redeemed the infamous bowl haircut? ::giggles:: Thanks so much for the pics, funnyfan!

 

[funnyfan]

Yes, being able to rock out awful haircuts is the true test of supermodel coolness!

that's a cute story... ai is awesome

It is only cute because Ai is cute. I had her autograph my plane ticket because I was nervous at meeting someone who I thought was possibly very important and that is all I had in hand, but she wrote,'' One thousand kisses to Kim TOMINAGA " What made it more memorable was the fact that we have matching last names. We joked around saying we probably are related. But in Japan, we are probably not, .

In her home country, she is known as someone who is intelligent. She has so many ambitions in life. She is not known as some stereotypical model who does nothing but that. She is actually admired that Japan created a model who has a chance against those Europeans and Brazilians.

I know that Ai will be out for a while, but she plans to return. On a radio interview, she said she would come back.

I just hope that Ai comes back with a loud BOOM and Frost Wedges other top models.

I am just curious, what is she up to right now?

She's pregnant and taking some time off to give birth to a high cheekboned lovely.

The Jan issue of Brutus has a shot of pregnant Ai on the cover, but unfortunately, I can't find a high res shot online and I have no scanner. Here are some itsy bitsy thumbnails (she's the top photo in the strip), and a adequately sized pic from the 2004 Pirelli calendar shot by Nick Knight. She was June.

Thank you for that new pregnancy shot! Ai looks so radiant there! I hope she gets back to modeling after having a healthy baby.

Some random pics I picked up. I knew Ai was always cool and chic... but I had no idea she could be so SEXY!
