Rika Izumi: A little bit of this and that....
Just did a post for her fifteen days ago but did say I would be back with another very soon, today seemed like a good time. This makes it ninety posts for Rika, her first was done in July 2017 and it just seems she should have more than that. Don't think it'll be possible but a year from now would like her to reach a hundred as far as posts go. It's become so rare these days when someone can hit that semi milestone, especially for an actress/model as it's only been done once in the last five years.
Twice recently have mentioned how there's a core of four elite women who will probably make the fave's list every year as I've been smitten with them for so long. Rika is one of the quartet and also the oldest woman I post about but looks just as good at 35 as she did a decade ago, actually to me even better! Rika only finished in the 15th position on this year's list so a goal is to see her return to the top ten in 2024, five times she's accomplished that feat. This was her seventh consecutive year to be on the fave's list which is a new record and I do wonder how much longer will I be doing posts for her? Have no clue and it appears Rika has no plans on getting married and settling down so will she become the first woman who is forty in age who I do posts for?
Not the largest of posts but least she saved the day as there wasn't another I could do and the last few weeks of December does tend to be a slow period for happenings. First off are these IG pics from the last two weeks and Rika has been someone who has never posted many of them. Behind her in the third pic is her 2024 calendar and the top pic is the cover of it. The bottom one is from the set of season two of the "Gifted" drama. Have watched the first few episodes of season one and it is a decent police show but sadly there's only so much time to view all of the dramas I would like to.
Not too many older photos for Christmas but more than I thought there would be. That third Rika pic is a real oldie as it's from 2015 and don't you think she's gotten more attractive over time? My response would be YES and that bottom photo is certainly quite good too as who wouldn't want a woman who enjoys going double fisted?!
Have one small batch of event pics which took place in November 16th. It was for a 'Dior Holiday Pop-up' event where the lighting for their yearly 'Tree of Life' took place. The event was held in the Omotesando section of Tokyo, Rika always looks so darn classy at events but doesn't appear at as many as she once did.
Classy is also an apt description of Rika's modeling pics from the past four years, gravure photos are of course so alluring but to me her regular modeling pics have been just as magnetic. Don't have too many new ones for today which is okay for as I said a mini goal is to do another ten posts for her by next December. This small batch is from the Mercury Duo site, more will be coming out next week and that first pic is out of this world....
There also weren't too many newish modeling pics at the Oggi site so will hold on to them for her next post. These days Rika doesn't appear in many magazines but usually does have a monthly spread for Bijin Hykka, this large set is from their December issue.
Usually end off her posts with new modeling pics from the Stola site, will do that for today and these terrific photos are for their Winter collection. No new videos but after the pics have a pair of Rika Christmas CM's from 2018 that were for Indeed.
