I like how she doesn’t look like a wasian, but actually looks gyaru style!

Well, anorexia nervosa isn’t just about eating. People forget it’s a mental disease and that the problem with food is only one of the symptoms.

“She’s probably from a wealthy family.”
No, just she`s really clever.
She passed MEXT and study at Todai for free.

More power to her. It’s her choice. She definitely has got the look down, she looks very Japanese.

The only thing that bugs me is the creepy half-smile/grimace she keeps on. But then that is quite common in MySpace (Facebook/whatever) pictures too eh?

Cheesy hostess gyaru-style designers and Wigstock should consider a joint venture. There is enormous untapped marketing synergy there.

Let me answer that for you succinctly:

YES.

She looks completely different from the video to the photo on that link! Looks like it’s not just clothing she’s spending out on…
I think she’s gorgeous in the Miss Tokyo Uni shots.

It depends how tall she is compared to her weight.

There are medical height/weight distribution curves derived from empirical study of large populations. If you fall too far on one side of them you are emaciated and probably amenorrhoeic — it would be hard to call that anything but anorexia when the situation is like this one — voluntary weight loss without major exercise.

However it is only speculation.

I agree it’s sorta ironic she’s like a white person who looks like a Japanese person who looks like a white person. But I’m pretty inspired… I’m an American going to Todai this fall and I really like gyaru fashion. Maybe we can make our own little gaijin gyaru clique hehe.

A caucasian with dark hair dying it blond after being in Japan? How ironic.

This may have been the best comment read on JP in months.

She actually pulls off fake blonde quite well, but I liked her original style much better.

you’re assuming stuff based on… what? I think this line of thought is just unhealthy for a serious debate

I personally liked her old look better but it’s kinda cool to see a gyaru chick so to Tokyo U! She’s having her fashion fun while she still can, so I can’t blame her for choosing one of the more extreme styles. Her bf isn’t half bad either, imho. Good on her, I say!

I have a random bit of information for you all:
She was nominated as “Ms Tokyo University” in 2009
http://utmmc.com/candidate/miss/dina/

Even though it’s not that exciting of a link I was so excited when I watched the video and I recognized her.

This clip celebrates her problem with anorexia. I don’t care what she wants to wear but that weight is just unhealthy for a girl of her height.

Her features seem very Japanese to me, difficult to detect her Russian features.

Unfortunately she will have to adopt a different dress when she applies for work in her vocation. Being in a foreign country is not always easy but she seems to have immersed herself fully into the popular culture which should help in making friends.

If I were teaching Japanese, I might use clip this as an example for the word “mottainai”.

I wouldn’t be so dismissive of her based on her looks. She came to Japan 2 years ago (at age 19). She had graduated from some kind of elite school in St. Petersberg. She was able to transfer into Tokyo University, to the Komaba campus. She wants to be an international lawyer.

Also, she’s from Russia and she’s going to university overseas. She’s probably from a wealthy family.

Is it common for women students at Todai to put their top-notch academic pedigree to work by aspiring to the fast-paced hostessing sector?

Personally, I think I like her original look rather than the new gyaru image.

She is looks kinda like a okama or a new half to me though.

Whoa. That is just so creepy, no matter how many times I goto Shibuya 109.
