Nene Shida: Who better to begin off November with?!?!

 


 Been too lazy to get that above question patented, wonder if I've been missing out on barrels of moolah???? Probably not as I can't recall ever seeing that as the title of a post in another blog or site so wonder what that says about my originality? That's three questions in a row and let's get to this post's honoree who of course is Nene but I had no intentions of beginning the month off with her. But I've been missing her so much, she's only had three posts since April and know it's not just me who can never get enough of Nene as her seven previous posts for 2026 have an average of 985 views. Last year her posts were #1 as far as popularity goes, 2024/25 were nice comeback years for Nene here as her popularity had really dwindled the previous couple of years.



 Could have done some bigger posts for a few other women but thought they could wait as we've been seeing a lot of them lately. I had an urge to do a post for Nene 😍 and when I get the urge for a mega favorite of mine nothing can stop me! Back in September did a post for Nene which was very popular, that did feature some terrific new photos but then she quickly went back into semi-hibernation. To me think Nene really needed a break from things, especially gravure modeling, as she had been non stop for almost seven years. Not just with her show biz career but she also graduated from college in 2022 so if Nene wanted to take a breather and not work as hard for six months she was deserving of that. A week ago did get Nene's newest magazine spread but there hadn't been much else for a post. But I really wanted to do something soon for her so did work a bit at this post and there will be over fifty new photos for today so it will be a fabulous beginning to November!



 Had thought about holding off another week for this post as Nene does have another mag spread coming out plus a new digital book, perhaps even two so it appears her vacation may be over. But seeing as how the posts have been so infrequent since April thought two medium sized posts would work out better than a massive post. Unless something unexpected occurs Nene's streak of five consecutive years making the fave's list will come to a halt, four of those years she was in the top six. A dozen will make the list but even with so many that long gap did hurt Nene's chances and the same would go for any woman but as long as she returns to being busy again all is well with the world! In five months will begin on the third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list, even with that slow stretch this year Nene 😍 will still have a high position, as of now either fifth or sixth which to me is mighty impressive. Though many have tried to unseat her for about four years Nene has been my #1 gravure model longer than four years and besides her sizzling looks what sets her apart from most other models is how she's done such a variety of activities over the past six years. As a matter this December will mark the sixth anniversary of Nene's first post, even with 2026 being a slowish period for her she's still averaged over fourteen posts a year since 2020.



 Nene has so many thousands of overly sweltering photos, it'd be close to impossible creating a top ten list of her best pics and for some reason that bottom pic above has been close to being my favorite of hers 😍.... well, along with too many others to count! Nene posts so few photos at her IG page these days or at least fewer than she once did so will skip having any. Hopefully will have her next post in two weeks and you'll be seeing some of those photos then. I'm writing this up a day early so it's Halloween and don't think it's possible for Nene to ever put the fear into us but sure wish she'd try....(knock knock) hmmmm, that appears to be her at the door asking for a treat..... sigh, how I love my imagination at times....











 Over the last four months have been including many semi-older pictures of photo shoots as so many pics had never been posted and the majority are so dazzling. But in Nene's case have posted most of those photos though do have a few below that had never been posted, also added in a few of her regular IG pics as those too are so terrific.

















 Nene is slowly getting up there in age, on July 15th she celebrated her 28th birthday so now it's only twenty months until the age of thirty is hit! Nene still does a bit of acting though she's slowed down on it this year, sure she took a break in 2026 from most activities and as I said she did deserve a vacation. Nene does post a lot of videos at her YT channel and also is a reporter for a variety show, when I began to post about Nene she was a weathercaster and also a student. Nene has 84 prior posts and that's too many to look for one thing which is this magazine spread and I have no clue whether or not it's been posted. If so it had to have been done five years ago so sure most readers are like me and have forgotten all about it but this semi-historical spread with ten pages and four bonus pics from the photo shoot is Nene's first ever gravure spread. It's from the September 13, 2019 issue of Friday and her gravure career began out slowly as she didn't too much modeling for almost a year and as the saying goes the rest is history!















 Speaking of the Friday magazine Nene will be the cover girl for their next issue which will be promoting a new digital book. Hope to have that book for Nene's next post and below are some advance pics which promises to be another set of cold shower inducing photos!









 Will end off here, it may not have been as large as other posts but seventy or so photos is plenty for an amazing post! Which usually is the case when Nene 😍 is the subject and for the finale she's the cover girl for the brand new issue of Big Comic Spirits which is dated for November 2nd. After the pictures is a video from the photo shoot and highly recommend checking out Nene's numerous other videos which is where the word Sweltering came from....
