[Really creepy.](http://www.thisistrue.com/saayairie.html) > [@](#): > > The Chinese are upset by a new Japanese school history textbook which, they say, whitewashes Japanese crimes during WWII. But photos of a little Japanese girl are helping to melt Chinese hearts. Saaya Irie is “pacifying a certain segment of China’s population” with her photos, especially those showing her in a bikini. The 11-year-old budding actress fills an F-cup bra, and her photos have swept Chinese web sites. ---

I’m at work so I can’t check the link–but I can’t admit to this sounding too strange from local standpoints. Whooooole lot of pent-up sexual frustration in certain circles of Japan–and I would imagine China as well. Currently I’m more worried about enjo kosai than little girls in bikinis. ---

This is not terribly surprising coming from a nation that exports countless cartoons containing clearly pre-teen girls in very skimpy clothing fighting crime (or whatever it is they do). Creepy. Very creepy. But not very surprising. ---

P.S. She looks about 14. She could pass for 17. I’ve never ever seen an eleven year old like that. ---

I don’t believe it. I think it’s a marketing ploy coming from a country that’s got a serious issue with school girls. [Like this.](http://www.snopes.com/risque/kinky/panties.htm) Honestly… she doesn’t look 11 to me. I’d almost be willing to bet that she’s 18 and being promoted as a kid. Color me a skeptic, but without a birth certificate I just don’t buy it. ---

She doesn’t look 11, that’s for sure. And those are not Fs, not even DDs. Perhaps a C. Unusual on an 11-year-old but not extremely so. I’d actually be surprised if she’s really only 11. ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > P.S. She looks about 14. She could pass for 17. I’ve never ever seen an eleven year old like that. I’ve seen at least one like that. She was the SIL of a former friend of mine. The first time I met her, it was only briefly and I assumed she was about 17 or so, only to find out later that I found out how young she was. The next time I met her, it was for a longer period of times, and I could tell from the way she talked and acted she was definately only 11. ---

Did a quick look up on the name, and first thing that came up was a person indicating that it is a fairly common rumor that the girls who want to become stars are “Injecting Hormones” to get large busts. No idea. ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > P.S. She looks about 14. She could pass for 17. I’ve never ever seen an eleven year old like that. Back in the early 90s my SCA ‘lady in waiting’ was 12, and looked over 18 - classic olive skin, oval faced madonna look [classical oil painting madonna, not material girl madonna] and I regularly had to warn the guys off her at events outside our normal BArony where her age was known. I started making sure that she only went to other encampments parties with me watching over her after I caught a bunch of guys feeding her alcohol thinking she was old enough to _not_ be jail bait. And the sizing of japanese bras is worded differently than in the US. It takes into account barrel of the chest and breast size. In the US you arrive at the 34 DD by the diameter of the barrel of the chest where the bra band would go around just under the breast, and the DD is the number of inches the breast cups protrude [for lack of a better term] DD being 4.5 inches. [I was a 32 D for a number of years. It is very difficult finding a 32 D in walmart’target stores, most women having a 34 or larger chest measurement as an adult.] ---

I was looking at that page a minute ago, and Harborwolf called from across the room, “Hey, she’s cute.” I looked at him, and said, “Don’t say that. She’s only eleven.” He made the most horrified face I’ve ever seen on him. ---
