One musing for the week:

... and this is going to be strange and in the end will sound more like a weird ramble than anything else. I don't have a lot of time, so here goes:



Okay, this is Anna Ohura, an AV actress (adult video, another term for porn actress) in Japan from the late nineties, early turn of the millennium, reportedly mixed Japanese and European blood, with huge natural breasts. I mean huge.

But that's not my point. I've been seeing her... "work" for the past few years and why is it that everytime I see her (well, around 75 percent of the time) she has this look, which can only be adequately described as a mixed confused/annoyed look. In Filipino it would be called nakakunot ang noo. Can't visualize? Here's an example:


This look has been baffling me for years. What does it mean? Is she annoyed at her male counterpart's insufficiency? Is she thinking to herself, "what the hell am I doing here?" Is the camera making her insecure? Are there spectators around, and are they making her insecure? Is that her "thinking deeply at the course of my life" look? Is she confused? Annoyed? A combination of the above? Does she have chronic back pain? More than half a decade of looking and I have no idea. Note that this look doesn't show up in still photographs, only in video, only live.

Ladies and gentlemen (especially gentlemen,) AV stars are people too. They think about various things in their life. This look may entail a deeper meaning for all of us.

That, or I'm just insane. I'm leaning towards the latter.
