.... final post ever? Did say yesterday in a preliminary post for this year's faves that there would be no more posts for one of my all time faves, so huge she's not far from being #1 of all time. But thought things over and would hate to see Rika depart from here so abruptly and on a semi-sour note. As mentioned have learned she's been dating someone off and on for about four years but these days it appears to be much more on. No engagement news or anything like that but I try not to post about women who are married or on the verge of it. But don't think Rika will be getting hitched in the next week or so(!) though she is 32 now so of course I can understand her wanting to settle down.
This is her 47th post in 39 months which is a very high average, 1.2 posts a month. Was also not going to include Rika on this year's faves list but will, it'll be starting in about six weeks and it didn't seem right for her to be in the top five for 46 weeks and then get canned just like that. So will attempt to have three more posts so she hits fifty, then again perhaps things will remain the same in her private life and those posts won's stop at fifty.
Rika does have a huge fan base here though she's not as popular as she was two years ago. Have a strong feeling it's because she doesn't do that many gravure spreads these days but in the past she really only did them promoting her photobooks. To me her regular modeling pics all get a grade of A++++ and if you like those kinds of pics from her this post is for you as there's about sixty new ones.
As usual no new event pics and as I've said for so long that's a shame as she looks so classy at them. But do have some pics that weren't posted from an event last November 24th and what struck me was how it looked as though Rika was checking out engagement rings! That wasn't the case but at the ceremony she was chosen as the female 'Nail Queen of the Year'. It's an award show in it's 24th year which is put on by the 'Japan Nail Association' and don't know if there will be a show this year.
Those spreads for them are always quite superb but prefer the pics from the Oggi site, Rika's been an exclusive model for them since May 2019 but it seems much longer than that. These are all new from the site and can't believe how many they had but no complaints from me....
