Ayumi Kinoshita: Her historical and overly tantalizing "Lemon Colored Afternoon" photobook..... WHEW!!!!

 

 Yet another oldie but goldie woman but one that doesn't need to be introduced as Ayumi does have close to ten prior posts. Have said a few times how I'm trying to clean up some older posts that had pics linked to Photobucket and these days those pics are unviewable. So have been doing the posts over and have no clue how many more there may be, could be five or twenty and just will be doing ones that may be popular.... there's no doubt this one will be! One major problem with doing 'All Time Favorites' lists is that it tends to favor the newer woman and often times I overlook my favorite older women. But I didn't do that for Ayumi as when I did my first ever 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' back in 2018 she did finish in the sixth position, had I done the list five years earlier she would have been close to being my #1 woman!!!!

 However Ayumi didn't make the second list done two years ago and there really was no reason for that. So was thinking should I increase that all time list to 25 women and would do a third list two years from now. Or should I perhaps have two kinds of lists, say for the women whose prime years have been from 2015 until now and have a second list for those women whose prime years were prior to 2015? Ayumi would be way up there on that list, no lower than third and hadn't thought about having a list for my older faves until now. That sounds like a good idea and will be working on that, of course there may not be many newish photos and such but creating that list sounds so intriguing to me.

 Have also done a pair of lists for my top ever photobooks but the last was over two years ago. This is a book that didn't make the list and only because I hadn't thought about it, this is a book that should be in my top ten of all time. So there's another list I may do plus Ayumi may have two of my top 25 pics of all time, one is right above and the other is the third one down, those are two good reasons why Ayumi was so close to being my #1 woman of all time for so long! Bet many have seen Ayumi in the "Dekaranger" series that aired in 2004/05, she played the heroine Jasmine and for fifteen years that has been my all time Sentai show!!!!

 The years are zooming right by as on December 13th Ayumi will be hitting the age of 42!!!! But she still looks darn good for her age but of course hasn't done any gravure work for so long, the main reasons being she's now married with three children. In al odd twist her first child was born on her 30th birthday!. This is her first regular photobook and was released in May 2004, Ayumi was 21 in age and it was three months after "Dekaranger" had started airing. That series really made her so popular, Ayumi also had four gravure videos which are among my all time faves and all of them hit #1 on the charts! On to this book and guess there is an advantage to doing some posts over as ones like these tend to be forgotten about though do try to have many of them for the 'Featured Post of the Day'. This book contains eighty photos and in all honesty how many of the hundreds of women I have posted about top Ayumi(?), to me the total would be quite low....
