oritsu_luv | The giant Lena Fujii Picspam of Doom! (Part One) (Reply)

Lena Fujii (藤井リナ) is my favorite Vivi Model. She's 25 years, 5'4" and a quarter American. (Her mom is Japanese, and her dad is biracial) She started modeling for Vivi when she was 19, after being scouted in Harajuku, after which she moved to Tokyo into an apartment by herself, and quickly became one of their top models, thanks to her strong work ethic, sweet smile, great bod, and her ability to combine a girlishly cute 'kawaii'-ness with a aura of coy sensuality.

In addition to Vivi, she also appears in several other magazines: sweet, ar, VOCE, and LOOK!s, and models for several companies such as Peach John, and has her own line of kimonos, yukata, wedding dresses and jewelry. She has released one photo book, LENA, and one album, also titled LENA, and recently, an essay/photo book of off-shots called 'No Make', which also contains photos from her blog, Ochappy Days ~Fuji Lena's Ochame de Happy-na Hibi~". (Lena Fuji's mischievous, happy days') She's also appeared in music videos, commercial, and has a radio show.

She has an apricot toy poodle named Tiffany, and is dating ISSA from Da Pump.
She has also dated YamaP from NEWS, and KAT-TUN members Jin Akanishi and Koki Tanaka.

In high school, she studied abroad for a while iin both Switzerland and Los Angeles, because she decided that she hated not being able to speak English looking as un-Japanese as she does. In Switzerland, she was bullied at the school by students who said things like 'Japanese girls like you shouldn't be wearing make up! You're so impudent!', and 'Japanese people should either write manga or go on the internet!', and decided to get revenge by wearing lots of make up and slutty clothes and stealing the leader of the mean girl's boyfriend.

Her best friend from Tokyo says she's a 'princess', and Lena agrees, saying that when she was a teenager, she used to wonder 'Why do I have to live such an ordinary life? Why do I have to live in such an ordinary apartment building?" and that when she grew up, she realized, 'That's because I'm an ordinary person!'

Despite weighting only 96 lbs, according to her official profile, she eats a lot, usually enough for two people, and once ate 6 bowls of tan-men noodles, and once ate yakiniku 5 times a week for an entire 6 months.

Her personal PR is: No matter how depressed I am, or how hard things are, I'll be fine the next day! No one can get over things faster than me!

PART ONE: Pictures from Magazines.

(Note: While I have been subscribing to Vivi magazine since 2001 - way before Lena's debut - I don't have any of the magazines at the house, so these photos are just from 2009 and 2010)
