Sexy model wears bikini backwards in her calendar

This sexy swimsuit model is moving up in the world—she became so popular that she came out with her own calendar for 2009. But now everyone's making fun of her because she wore her bikini top backwards in the top right photo. I think maybe she did it on purpose...what do you think?

Really it's backwards? I would not have known unless told. Still, did she dress herself? There's usually a crew of people just to assist the photographer and several more to handle wardrobe for the model.
If people are making fun of her, their inner hate might have something to do with it.

Poor Hirano Aya. You'd think the wardrobe guy would notice.

"Heads will roll."

To be honest, I actually didn't even notice either. If it wasn't there, obviously I would have! haha

Given the amount of care that goes into a proffesional photo shoot, it's almost certainly intentional.

I can't read the Japanese story, but the picture of the supposed 'correct way of wearing' doesn't even use the same style of swimsuit (the bows for the top are different, bottom parts: one with bows, the other without). IMO, she didn't wear it wrongly, the bikini style is just weird (wired over the cup instead of under).

I would say that it's on upside-down ,not backwards!

[NelC]

Yep, upside-down, if I'm reading it right. The wide strap is supposed to go round the back, the string over her shoulders and behind her neck. It looks obvious now -- wide strap topside and thin string below looks unbalanced -- but I don't think I would have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out to me.

As for the model, when you're putting on and taking off a dozen or so swimsuits in a photoshoot, it must be easy to lose track of what goes which way around. I don't know why she gets singled out for ridicule, when the wardrobe, makeup, the photographer, his assistant, the lighting guys, and all the staff at the publishers who selected and scanned the photos all had a chance to notice it. In these photoshopped times, even at the publisher's wasn't too late to correct the error.

Just to be clear, she's not a professional bikini model or anything. She's actually a fairly successful singer and voice actress (anime.) So I would imagine she was depending on the staff at the shoot a lot more than a professional might, and they really let her down here.

Lisa, please bit more careful before you blog something.
She is voice actress, not the swimsuit model.....

And also you should check your post on BB(Calligraphic manga featuring famous samurai Musashi).
You blogged misunderstanding thing...

[David Huff]

Heh heh, I think you mean "upside down" not backwards. If it were "backwards," the cups would be behind her (and I'd be much more interested ;)

[Lana]

I guess she did put her bikini on backwards, what with that cockeye and all.

If you read the Japanese BBS further down, it is a photoshop job. She did wear it correctly. Read post 261 in the Japanese link to see.
