First, Sonic that is not her...
Second, I am about to post the very type of post I hate and I do not like it! <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> But I am more upset because it is a case where things could have worked out for everyone.
You see, over six years ago I happened upon a photo of Minka at around age 17-18. It was on a site to which Minka actually contributed and the context of the site was not porn but up-and-coming Asian models and other **28**. This site was something of a "before they were stars" type site with commentary from each person.
The site was actually fairly old and had not been updated in what I recall was a few years. Minka had already been circulating nude photos so it was interesting to see this pre augmentation shot.
Did I download it?... Yes <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Can I find it now?... ah, no <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I fear that it has been deleted or lost forever because the link is dead (as you would expect for a site nearing 12 years), that was 2 computers ago, my ZIP disk or CD is gone or reformatted, or whatever lame explanation - sorry...
I should say that this was very likely a real photo of her, with some supporting text, and that there was no reason that the image should have been faked or morphed or whatever. I tend to keep interesting or unique images so I am upset with myself more than anything.
Just a description -
She was wearing a elastic tube-top or possibly bikini style outfit with straps and white shorts. She was at a amusement park and looked to be waiting in line for a ride with friends. She was leaning on a fence with something of a hill or rocks in the background. I think she had a soft-drink in her hand and the whole thing looked very candid.
Her breasts - looked very natural and full (wide) but I would say in the C-D cup range at most. A bit low on her chest but the photo was not professional and looked like it was taken by friends (it was even a bit tilted) - she was also just a bit "chubby" with a bit of left over adolescent plumpness.
I remember this photo because I had a special folder for what I called unique photos and this was one of only a few in there. So, I would occasionally be reminded of it. "Oh, there is that 18 year old Minka photo again." I may have deleted it just out of boredom... <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Never delete those old images, you never know...
Sorry gang - I feel like I have let the BEA down.
Good_Grip: She was still above average and would have had a good tennis bounce.
Well this had been
bugging me for so long I went digging just to see what I could find. I have always found Minka's life story much more interesting than her bust size. So, taking what I could recall from the photo I deleted all those years ago this is what I was able to reconstruct:
One should remember that Minka had contributed the commentary and possibly the photo itself to the original Korean website (or at least someone who knew exactly the who, what, why and where it was taken) - "amusement park" was in the original text.
The location turned out to be Everland Park (then called Farmland - yes, Farmland)
Luckily there are several sources of images and in a few old photos I found the exact "rock" background.
From there it was surprising how all the elements worked back into the comments from the original photo.
- actually the more I dug the more clues appeared that backed up the text of the photo.
What does this all mean?Well I am satisfied that the location of the photo, the year, the reasons the photo were taken and essentially all the origin story from that photo have been exhausted. Realize that this was a 17 or 18 year old Minka probably on a high school trip with friends to go to an amusement park and see/ride the new coasters. About 4 years later (1992) this photo would make it to a "Hot Korean" girls site where she would add a few remarks. About 5 years later just prior to the site being taken down someone from the BEA looking for pre-augmentation images of her would happen upon it. Nothing crazy, scandalous or titillating. Just a day at the park.I think it should just stay that way. Personally I find it cool that Minka technically had a web presence since 1992.
Oh, and for the record and because this is the BEA she looked to be around a full C cup in the original photo. This works with the timeline, her age and Minka's known augmentation history. Still do not know if the black bikini image attached is 1993 or 94. I believe that her first augmentation brought her up to an F cup. (which also works with her know first implant size of about 300cc)
Finding any early Minka images (smaller breast) images is very difficult - I only found these few because they were attributed or tagged to the wrong person so obviously the delete-bots had missed them.
