It's quite clear, the cosmetic in japan and korea are especially for makeup far east asian women to look like caucasian princess.
how they make up the far east asian models are in the same town of caucasian models.

the skin whitenners are best saller in the countries like japan, korean and south east asia. the pink and blue make up base are poppular in asia.

this is a pictures of asian cosmetic presenters.

this is the caucasian presenters of love clover's cosmetic of japan. that the ideal of this cosmetic is for makeup asian women to look like maie antoinette.

Sun, 05/11/2008 - 04:04 z Human evolution: initial steps toward an hourglass figure in the female

Erik : in this world has no perfectly race. white women have delicate facial's feature than Indian but Indian got more feminine shape than white and their breasts are not sack like white women ( which most of the time, the white women with natural big breasts always have its sack, and flabby skin. far east asian women got delicate shape eventhrought their face is disporportion. but they are look petite than white, India and black.

katrina kaif and all Indian actresses are feminine than white women.
eventhrought I like slender shape of white women but I'd consider Indian women have feminine shape than white. Indian women always shorter than white, round waist, wide hip, chubby neck and chubby arms. however I don't especially this type of shape but it looks feminine than white women.

most of the time I have seen the slender shape ( rather skinny) of white actresses in many of hollywood movies, also the ordinary white women got only two kind of shape and that's "fat" and" slender". you will never find the white women with buxum arms, round waist,full breasts, wide hip like in latino and Indian women.

Indian actress.

Many of asian women are feminine than feminine white, but I don't like this type of beauty. it's pedofield, freak and I don't think far east asian that trying to look like caucasian princess would look nice. on the contrary I'd rather like to see these asian girls in tann skin and show off the power of asian beauty out than rather do something to look caucasian because they don't look the same in anyways.

like these pictures, the eyes are look big because of mascara, contact lense and the narrow face of curly european hair style, photoshoping etc.

P.S I'm graphic designer and I have done before, edited asian women face to look caucasian or edited european women to look masculine or feminine. by the way to photoshoping asian women to look caucasian, you still could notice one thing that is person is caucasian or asian by looking at the area above their eyes. far east asian women even the one with big eyes, still their epicanthic is fold and you will see much of distance between their eyebrows and the eyes. unlike caucasian always have deep sunken eyes.

far east asian women.

Sun, 05/11/2008 - 01:21 Erik Lingerie modeling: Rebecca Romijn or Layla from W4B?

Well, we also have this thing known as inadequate knowledge of science. You cited 4 studies published in 1997, 2001, 1999 and 1993, respectively. I have already cited and critiqued the 1993 study (most of the articles on WHR studies within this site are mentioned here; see the first listed article in particular). The 1997 study was similar to the 1993 study. I have also cited both the 1999 and 2001 studies and some other studies along these lines (WHR preferences in tribal populations) here.

More relevant to your argument, by now it is very well documented that waist-to-hip ratio alone explains a very small proportion of the variance in women’s attractiveness. In other words, a woman with a higher WHR can easily be much more overall attractive than a woman with a lower WHR. So pointing out a reported WHR of 0.7 in fashion models to argue that they are appealing to the general population is useless. Look at Rebecca Romijn overall. How can you fail to see masculinization?

Sun, 05/11/2008 - 00:01 Erik Cellulite treatment by electromagnetic radiation (infrared, laser, radiofrequency) and ultrasound

Here are the results from a pilot study on slight reduction in the girth of the thighs and abdomen, as well as improvement of cellulite, using a combination of ultrasound, suction pressure and massage (the MedSculpt device).

Abstract – Liposuction is the gold standard of body contouring procedures. Many patients, however, will not tolerate the invasiveness and subsequent recovery time associated with this procedure, despite the likelihood of superior results. Consequently, patients opt for minimally invasive forms of body contouring that require several treatments, have fewer associated side effects, and afford more modest improvements. The MedSculpt device is one such modality that combines computerized massage, vacuum suction, and ultrasound with a continuous sinusoidal pulse delivered at a frequency of 3 Hz. The efficacy of this device was assessed in the reduction of thigh and abdominal circumferences. Five patients were included in this pilot study. A total of 12 treatments were performed on a semiweekly basis to 2 abdomens and 3 pairs of thighs. Photographs and circumferential measurements of each area were obtained prior to, and at the conclusion of, the treatment course. The treatments were well tolerated and without side effects. The mean reduction in thigh circumference was 2.25 cm or 4%, with a 5 cm reduction in 1 subject. Although limited improvement was seen in supraumbilical circumference, the mean reduction in infraumbilical circumference was 6.5 cm or 7.3%, with a 10 cm reduction in 1 subject. Mild improvement in skin tone, texture, and the appearance of cellulite was observed in all study participants. The results observed after 12 treatments were similar to or better than those seen with other minimally invasive, body contouring devices.

Sun, 05/11/2008 - 00:00 statik Waist-to-hip ratio and attractiveness in women: addressing confounds

Erik how small should the waist of a girl who is 5'1 be?

im 5'1 90lbs slim (i have tiny bone structure) build and the following measuremnts

32 B-C chest (the cup size depends on if i put on weight being 94 pounds will make me a c cup for some reason but being 87-90 will make me a b)

I have a 22-23 inch waist

and 33.8 inch hips with a rather full bum

would that put me hourglass? should i have a smaller waist for my height?

Sat, 05/10/2008 - 20:09 z Human evolution: initial steps toward an hourglass figure in the female

“You ask me “how is that if an Asian woman gets double eyelid surgery, it’s because she want to look white”? Where have I implied the latter? I have implied that this surgery is often used to make one look less ethnic, but this does not mean that the woman is somehow trying to look white.”

Jump : have to say this to erik, my maid is chinese and she wanted to has double eyelids because wanted to look like thai or India actresess but not white women. so it's not always people do plastic sugery because wanted to look like white people. I know also some asian girl who wanted to do nose job because wanted to have nasal like arab or India rather than like white.

erik said : To describe a woman as slightly masculine is to say that she is on the masculine side of the average for women of her ethnic background

erik : Indian women are not masculine eventhrought their skin are dark, tann or white. they tend to have large breasts, wide hip, short and small waist than white women that tend to be more slender and their leges are not have much fat when comparing to many of some far east asian and most of Indian. it's my observation that asian women, especially east Indian women, philipina, native women of the eastern area of south east asia,many of japanese, mongolian women, tibetian and southern chinese, australoids, black people in carribean tend to have shortly section of the legs beneath the knees. and they tend to have much fat or mussle. on the contary, the white women, sub-sahara african,african, arabs, the west India tend to have the long section of the legs beneath the knees. many of plump, buxum or fat white women , black and arabs or west Indian seem to have skiny or slim section of the legs' beneath the knees than of the average shape or thin asian women.

you also can take a look at this picture. I have collected the picture s of the legs of white, asian/Indian and black women in comparison.
the section of the white women and black women legs, they are the legs of average weight buxum or fat women. and the section of asian and Indian legs are all from thin, slim and average weight women. one thing you can notice that the slim or thin asian and Indian women seem to have short and chubby legs than the legs of the fat and average weight white and black women. I have talked to asian women, many of them say the same that " caucasian and black women do not have the bulky mussle on their legs even the fat white women seem to have smaller legs than most of thin asian women. many asian women like white and black women's legs because they find the slender legs of white and black women look like fashion model. yes, I find fashion models' legs of white and black women to be pretty but I think it's not feminine when compare to the chubby soft legs of asian and Indian women.

Sat, 05/10/2008 - 13:21 z Human evolution: initial steps toward an hourglass figure in the female

Eventhrought I do not agree that much the way erik's judge, who is feminine and who is masculine. but I do understand him one thing, erik trying to say that caucasian women have good porportion facial's features and I think so. I do not think far east asian women, latino women or african women are ugly, on the contrary many of them are also very beautifull, but most of the time non-white women, even the beautifull one have got disporportion facial's feature. such as they tend to have wide face, the one with big eyes still remind epicanthic fold, short chin and flat area beneath their eyes. I don't know other people tast, probably some people find big eyes with epicanthic fold is just fine and don't mind the short chin or wide face. I also accept those facial's feature could be pretty and feminine too but it's not in the good porportion.

Erik : Katrina kaif is very beautifull and if u find she is masculine I don't know more what kind of the man you are? I watched her on many of her Indian flims. her face looks prettier than most of your attactive feminine women. I accept she is abit too tall and probably it's the reason you find she is masculine but I don't mind that. she got breasts, hip and very beautifull feminine face is enough. right now I really don't know which women 'd be prettier than katrina kaif.
I accept katrina hasn't got that perfect porportion facial's features. her nose is abit too long but she looks beautifull very much in any case. she looks prettier than aishwarya rai,julia roberts and especially very MUCH prettier than all of your feminine women.
I damn sure when kate and some of your feminine women walking pass the gathering of guys. the guys'd look forward to katrina kaif than look forward or probably don't look at all to all of your feminine women.
Kaif has beautifull oval shape face, beautifull small lips, beautifull big round eyes, beautifull dark hair which I find it's attactive than blonde.( blonde is too light, and every women with blonde hair always look too pale like the sick or unhealthy old women) I never find blonde women to be attactive, they could be very feiminine and beautifull but I'd rather not touch them because they look like the fragile women. I like blonde hair and it's beautifull but I just don't find blonde is sexy. the blonde, too pale and flabby skin look like very delicate and easily to be brake. by the way katrina got everything in her perfectly. she has european face, weak jaw and sweet smiling and tender kind eyes. her tallness isn't masculine but elegrant and attactive. her shape is damn feminine, she got small waist, nice breasts and long legs, and her shape is hourglass shape for me.

I feel I should give this link:

www.lookism.info

Its alright to define exactly what beauty is in a biological sense, but don't go and discriminate against those who don't match exactly as what society deems attractive -

looks are not earn't, but handed on a plate by DNA.

Whereas neither may be true because she has a hook nose, many Indians don’t seem to mind hook noses.

Erik : the hook nose's women cann't be pretty?? if you find hook nose can not be pretty then epicanthic fold, flat nose, piggy nose etc. also can not be pretty too? because they'd fall into disporportion facial's feature?

I think Indian do not mind hook nose. they prefer more the actor and actress with light skin or white, amber, hazel, blue or green eyes.

Fri, 05/09/2008 - 08:55 Emily Fashion illustration vs. superheroines, pinups and fantasy art

I have always found that interesting how in cartoons and comic books, women tend to have heavily feminine features. Like in spider-man comics, no matter the artist, Mary Jane always had the same kind of features - large breats, extremely small waist, rounded hips and butt. That was were I always got my view of how women should look, not from fashion.

Fri, 05/09/2008 - 04:16 Erik Makeup as cosmetic camouflage

Emily: Sometimes people come to regret tattoos, and unwanted tattoos qualify as a skin blemish/a pigment problem. The issue here is not treating the blemish, but hiding it. So leading a healthy lifestyle, though recommended, is irrelevant to the article since sometimes there are skin blemishes regardless of lifestyle.

Cosmetics are not necessarily harmful. There are many alternatives, and the author makes it a point to seek cosmetics that are nonallergic, nonirritating, etc.

Zonneschijn: You fool, no one is arguing about cosmetics playing a big role in how women look like. You seriously need to learn English before leaving more comments. You should have the courtesy of leaving alone a website in a language that you are poorly versed with. Again, your comment has nothing to do with the article and has no value otherwise.

The effect you are demonstrating has little to do with makeup, photoshopping or lighting, but a lot to do with clarity of physical features as a function of posing, clothing and size of the pictures. Depending on the picture, the woman either looks masculine or of unclear masculinity-femininity. The clearest picture shows a masculinized woman, and this is unlikely due to photoediting because the woman is likely either a model or an actress. Whereas neither may be true because she has a hook nose, many Indians don’t seem to mind hook noses. If she is a model, then the homosexuals would not mind her masculinization though they will find her too bulky and would not edit the picture to add bulk. If she is an actress then she would typically play romantic roles and would be depicted lighter than she is and not made to look more muscular/masculine.

Please do not trash this site by leaving irrelevant, useless and absurd comments.

Fri, 05/09/2008 - 03:32 z Makeup as cosmetic camouflage

I do agree that cosmetic plays the big role in how women look like.
also u can take a look at this Indian actress. in one picture she looks hot and abit masucline awhile in the other picture she looks feminine.
so not all the time you could judge which woman is masculine or feminine by the picture.

Like this one the actress looks almost like body builder?
due to the makeup style, photoshoping, light etc.

This picture she looks like she is not the same woman on the first pic.

and on the flim her shape seems to be skinny and delicate than the fashion picture of her.

Fri, 05/09/2008 - 03:01 z Does beauty lie in the eye of the beholder?

Everyone try to find this flim to watch, katrina is very gorgeous.

Yes, she looks very gorgeous on India flims.

Wed, 05/07/2008 - 16:18 Erik Quick judgment of face beauty; variation in and appeal of women’s gait across the menstrual cycle

Yet another study on cyclic variation in women’s appeal, this time involving dancing.

Female strippers/lap dancers earn more tips when they are in the neighborhood of ovulation

Abstract–To see whether estrus was really “lost” during human evolution (as researchers often claim), we examined ovulatory cycle effects on tip earnings by professional lap dancers working in gentlemen's clubs. Eighteen dancers recorded their menstrual periods, work shifts, and tip earnings for 60 days on a study web site. A mixed-model analysis of 296 work shifts (representing about 5300 lap dances) showed an interaction between cycle phase and hormonal contraception use. Normally cycling participants earned about US$335 per 5-h shift during estrus, US$260 per shift during the luteal phase, and US$185 per shift during menstruation. By contrast, participants using contraceptive pills showed no estrous earnings peak. These results constitute the first direct economic evidence for the existence and importance of estrus in contemporary human females, in a real-world work setting. These results have clear implications for human evolution, sexuality, and economics.

Michalle : Maryam looks very sexy and attactivefor me. but I do not think she'd be verify as feminine women for erik. I think she has melform nose which it's very obvious, also her thick eyebrow and high cheeksbone, large body structure. indeed, the large woman can be feminine too and I'd recommend natalie glebova and Katrina Kaif as feminine large women.

here's a pictures of Katrina Kaif (India part british supermodel) eventhrought katrina got large structure by her tallness but her face shape, lips, shoulders, waist and legs are very feminine like short women.

Some women with melform's nose can be feminine too, sich as katrina kaif, the Indian part British supermodel.











Wed, 05/07/2008 - 08:13 Emily Makeup as cosmetic camouflage

I don't think you can classify tattoos as a pigmentary disorder but hey, its your blog. At any rate, a lot of the above issues regarding skin can be taken care of with out the use of such harmful cosmetics! American make-up is loaded with carcinogens and endocrine disrupters that may effect the woman very negatively. In summary, exercise, drink lots of water, eat well(No non-fibrous carbs or grains! Mainly vegetables, healthy meats that are free-range and antibiotic/hormone-free, nuts, and small amounts of fruit) and your body and skin will follow.

Another study related to cyclic variation in some aspect of women’s appeal.

Women’s voices more attractive around ovulation

Abstract – We investigated ratings of female voice attractiveness as a function of menstrual cycle phase. Women had their voices recorded at four different times during their menstrual cycle. Voice samples were categorized from low to high conception risk based on menstrual cycle phase and empirical pregnancy data. Results showed a significant increase in voice attractiveness ratings as the risk of conception increased across the menstrual cycle in naturally cycling women. There was no effect for women using hormonal contraceptives. Previous research shows that the sound of a person's voice appears to serve as an honest signal of fitness, and our results show perceptual shifts in women's voices that match the predicted output of an independent and well-designed fertility monitoring system. More work is needed to identify the biological mechanisms that underlie these perceptual differences, but growing evidence points to the impact of hormones on the larynx as being the source of these changes.
