Sexy 40-Year-Olds: “There Really Are Miracles…”

After being introduced to the charms of Masako, above, even 2ch’s substantial contingent of JK worshippers has conceded that mature women can be exceedingly attractive indeed.

Most famously of late, 43-year-old model, mother (her eldest daughter is actually 20) and housewife Masako Mizutani, said to “have the looks of an 18-year-old”:

According to reports, “she spends 5 hours a day on skincare.”

2ch is currently deleting all their  junior idol stashes to make space for more of her pictures:

“Take me you old hag!”

“She’s beautiful isn’t she?”

“Let me have go, old woman!”

“18 is pushing it. She looks 24 or so.”

“She’s pretty but doesn’t look 18!”

“If she really spends 5 hours a day on skin care I pity her poor husband.”

“This is creepy! Leave looking young to the young!”

“But what if you scrape off all that makeup?”

“Don’t believe photographs.”

“Watch out for these women, they know every trick in the book for looking good in photographs. Movie please.”

“Seriously? 27-32”

“If she was your mother…”

“Imagine taking a bath with her as your mother.”

“I bet her husband is proud.”

“She looks a bit aged in these, but still hot.”

“The wrinkles on her neck are 40.”

“Makeup is good, isn’t it?”

“In this age of Photoshop, I don’t trust anything but an untouched photo.”

“If you guys spent the time you spend on 2ch on skincare instead, you’d all be hot guys. Give up 2ch now.”

“She’s great. But I wouldn’t want to marry some idiot who spends 5 hours a day on skincare.”

All this has prompted a great deal of searching for more ageless belles:

And then there is this 44-year-old lady who rather spoils it all:

Japan’s mass media has rather nastily taken to calling these older ladies who maintain their looks “bimajo” or “beautiful witches” – although looking at the last photographs this may perhaps be justified…
