SPEED's Takako Uehara poses semi-nude for GQ Japan

SPEED’s Uehara Takako is featured semi-nude in the March issue of popular men’s magazine, “GQ JAPAN“.

Uehara was featured in the monthly special feature, titled “The Determination of a 29-year-old“. For this 8-page spread, Uehara challenged herself to semi-nude shots. She stated, “I want to destroy the public’s image of me.”

The photo shoot was held in the middle of winter. Despite the cold, Uehara willingly jumped on a convertible, and exposed her silky, soft skin and beautiful body.

The article also features an exclusive interview that is said to bring out a new side of Uehara Takako, who opened her heart to share her current feelings.

... Destroy her public image?! I understand her point, but she's had racy photobooks before, and she still kept that 'good girl' image. She needs to do something else to change it.

Too bad this is already sold out where I usually buy stuff, tho D': Really wanted to see the rest.

Getting fake ones isn`t necessarily a bad thing, though.

apis_cerana 25th-Jan-2012 03:33 pm (UTC)

That's true, I don't judge women who decide to get them
But I do judge society for making women feel like their bodies are not good enough.

I personally don`t feel like plastic surgery is usually necessary, but it can do wonders for some people. Especially to help lessen or get rid of noticeable physical defects. Or for some women, reduce back pain via a reduction. Or to remove the excess skin off of a formally morbidly obese person.

apis_cerana 25th-Jan-2012 06:04 pm (UTC)

Yeah I know more than 1 person who has had breast reduction surgeries and it improved their quality of life quite a bit.

nova_usagi 26th-Jan-2012 01:33 am (UTC)

Sure. Less back pain and sagging, and it`s easier to run, fit into clothes, etc.

our_scars 25th-Jan-2012 01:06 am (UTC)

She's so skinny now, she's losing the little she already had

morroska 25th-Jan-2012 02:50 am (UTC)

i wish i had small tits like hers.

our_scars 25th-Jan-2012 02:52 am (UTC)

They're rather nice. Big ones are overrated.

morroska 25th-Jan-2012 02:56 am (UTC)

right? and inconvenient. i am big into running and i hate wearing bras. but i have to. i'd rather just have A cups.

our_scars 25th-Jan-2012 03:05 am (UTC)

Mine hurt if I don't wear bras D:

senshicalico 25th-Jan-2012 03:16 am (UTC)

our_scars 25th-Jan-2012 03:17 am (UTC)

OMG, I LOVE YOU <3

mte tbh

a_cheshire_grin 25th-Jan-2012 12:31 am (UTC)

I want to destroy the public’s image of me.

What's that supposed to mean?!

She's always had a "goody two shoes" image

a_cheshire_grin 25th-Jan-2012 01:25 am (UTC)

Mhm, it's funny how many people think that being a nice and decent person is something to be ashamed of!

Well...whatever!

flashylicious 25th-Jan-2012 01:39 am (UTC)

probably meant that the public's image of her is not the real her in the first place

So not relevant to the post, but THIS!

our_scars 25th-Jan-2012 03:24 am (UTC)

I don't think being nice and decent is the problem, but rather having to fit into a 'perfect' image mold, because nobody is like that in reality.
That reflects in her job, because of the stereotype, ppl won't offer her villain roles, for example.

zoemi 25th-Jan-2012 05:39 am (UTC)

I wouldn't say she's ever had the "goody two shoes" image. She's known as the withdrawn, introverted ditz of the group to people who aren't really big followers.

It looks pretty tame....

taylorniw 25th-Jan-2012 12:43 am (UTC)

that first one makes her shoulders look massive

luvmile 25th-Jan-2012 12:47 am (UTC)

she looks weird in the first one... not a good picture :/

the second one she looks fierce!!!!

our_scars 25th-Jan-2012 01:09 am (UTC)

too much photoshop and she doesn't even need it

our_scars 25th-Jan-2012 01:14 am (UTC)

The previous GQ shoot is winning so far
