Platinum lady

no one is buying this anymore who has the money?

nice effect with the aperture size. great photo skills!

She's the daughter of Watanabe Ken.

Much better than the typical trashy celeb pic we usually get. These women are few are and far between and oddly they look similar in face and "westernized teeth" and style... My guess is she can hold a conversation in two languages....

Nice...

A woman like that is worth more than any amount of diamonds on her head. Looks beautiful and intelligent, rare in Japan.

You know, she kinda' looks like a young Princess Masako....

She is so beautiful! Like a fairytale princess!

Platinum Charm !

very nice, i must say Ginza Tanaka has very nice jewellery pieces

If one looks lazily at the photo, it looks like she has a mustache....

she does not have an upper lip

She does look like Queen of Japan,;-).

@Love, her thin upper lip is another beauty ;)

"a platinum tiara valued at 300 million yen"

Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

seeing as how e'ery cop from okinawa to hokkaidou's @ the APEC summit, how hard would it've been to gunbutt her in the face and snatch that thing?

@Love, her thin upper lip is another beauty ;)

I am crying... my lips are so fat .... i will never be a beauty sad sad... and more sadly, i do not have a tiara...

Anne Watanabe is one of the most beautiful women in the world. And seeing her on some TV shows in Japan, it looks like she has a personality to match too. If a perfect woman doesn't exist, Anne must surely be the closest thing to perfection there is. I don't think she writes a blog, because I would be the No.1 fan of it if she did.

i do not have a tiara...

I've seen them at the 100 yen shop.

All people have thin lips when they smile. I'm not sure thin lips are a sign of beauty anyway. I think western culture prefers "pouting" lips. As far as the tiara goes, even if I could afford it where would one wear it?

saw her a show the other night. her schedule is crazy! she is doing everything! one of the few stars in japan that actually has talent..... wonderful girl

@Love, her thin upper lip is another beauty ;)

Eye of the beholder...She is very pretty but not because she has thin lips. Wish they were fuller.

What is she holding? A platinum giraffe?

She looks lovely. Nice use of the starlight lens filter, too.

On a side note, I sometimes wonder what's the deal with the one-name convention. Anne, LIZA, Becky, Suzanne, Koyuki, etc. Do they get them trademarked or something?

This tiara is a symbol of a by-gone age, maybe 20 years ago. Now, people are just hoping to have a job for next year, being on one year contracts, and hoping to have enough change to go to the 100 yen store. What, at the end of the day, is the purpose of showing this off. To make people just envious. I frankly think that they don't even have the time for THAT.

Without question this is a lovely looking young women wearing the costly piece of jewlery. She is simply beautiful.

Her thin lips are fine. Nothing ruins a woman's face more than a poor lip implant. Just ask Meg Ryan. She ruined her lips and now the biggest female star of the 1990s is struggling to find work.

As for the tiara, it seems like a pointless exercise at first, but I believe those people on the upper tiers of the economic pyramid have been completely unaffected by this downtown -- having caused it -- and still continue to shop for things like this.

Well guys she's smiling, come on you're the ones who think things like she's a model for everyone because she has innexistant lips, mattaku !

Oh, I love her! Her voice is very nice to your ears, can be heard on J-wave 81.3 FM in and around Tokyo, a radio program named "Book Bar" at 23pm on every Saturday. Google "book bar".
