April 14th was Orange Day, a quasi-holiday created by the fruit industry in Japan to celebrate the greater consumption of oranges. Central to this year’s promotional activities was an ‘Orange Day Princess’ event that honored 31-year-old gravure idol Aki Hoshino:

Hoshino told reporters that she planned on continuing her swimsuit modeling career, adding that she hopes to get married before she turned 40. Much like the oranges she was promoting, she considers herself best eaten when ripe.
