Real vs. Scripted -- Sumo Style

I've blogged some in the past about obvious differences between real and "scripted" (or to be less kind, fake) apartment and mat wrestling matches. I thought it would be interesting to apply this analysis to photos from entirely different culture and type of match -- Japanese Sumo Wrestling.

In the above photo, we have two very attractive women who are not physically built for sumo and have very stylish haircuts while their makeup has been expertly applied. Instead of crashing into each other as is the norm in a true sumo match, the two ladies attack each other's naughty bits for our viewing pleasure.
This next photo is basically an homage to the standard breast attack featured in Japanese catfighting. One lady grips the other's breast, careful to let the nipple poke out between her spread fingers, and the attacker watches the other's reaction. Again, the ladies' bodies are obviously better suited for virtually anything other than sumo and their loincloths are perfectly fitted (or to be more accurate, misfitted) so to expose just a hint of their fine pubic hair.
At least in this photo one could argue that the mutual breast pushes are designed to push the opponent backwards. But since they are wrestling in a ring, how does one know when a lady has been pushed out of the circle -- is it when her back touches the ring ropes?
And now we're onto the real stuff. Immediately, one sees that the ladies would shop at the "plus size" department, at least in Japan. They are obviously not models, but instead are everyday women who have agreed to go at it topless for some extra Yen. While the lady on right does appear to go for a defensive breast push, it is interesting to note that her opponent attempts a much more solid press right into the upper chest.
Going breast to breast, these big ladies are trying to push one another around. And below, we see that the women are starting in a traditional position, on a simple mat that has the tradtional sumo circle.

An Interesting Hybrid

And no, I'm not talking about the Toyota Prius. Instead, the combination of the typical California Wildcats ladies with competitive wrestling. Both ladies are attractive, in great shape and are wearing makeup. Not that I'm complaining, but I think you only need the first two to be a good competitive wrestler.
I've haven't seen this tape, so I can't say whether the action is as real as promised. But I have to say that, to my eyes at least, it looks a bit too posed for comfort. For example, why is the lady getting head scissored look so much more comfortable than the lady issuing the punishment? But I have to admit that there are a few nice touches here, such as the feet being crossed to complete the head scissors, and the bridge to try and escape the pin in the photo below.
I can only marvel at how these ladies manage to keep their makeup so perfect as they "struggle" on the shiny mats.

Real versus Staged

This is what a real apartment catfight looks like. Antonia has another one of my DWW favorites in a bad way in this titantic nude catfight. Denise's hair is all mussed and is partly obscuring her fine features, and Antonia has a noticeable rug burn on her thigh. The ladies aren't making any exagerated expressions, and thank god, are focusing on each other and not the camera.
In this photo taken by the incomparable Theo Ehret, represents the epitome (which I used to think was pronounced e - pi - tome) of the 70s Apartment Style Match. With that ever present and mysterious Van Gogh self-portrait looking down, the ladies are perfectly positioned for our maximum fantasy viewing enjoyment. Perfect hair, perfect focus, perfect lighting and a great pair of asses to boot.
Another Ehret masterpiece, with the ubiquitous upturned hand of impending submission. Not only are the ladies' faces clearly seen, but the winner's hair falls in perfectly coiffed curls down her right shoulder. Pretty amazing after a tough battle. The studio lighting highlights the loser's fantastic expression which is the centerpiece of the work. The viewer can also marvel at the contrasts in breasts -- the loser's are hanging down while the winner's are perky and jut forward with a certain confidence.

And to conclude with a real catfight, with the lovely Denise getting her own back. Antonia covers her face to protect against Denise's slap, and we can barely make out Denise's face through the tumult of hair. The backdrop is mundane (some unfiled binders sticking out of a bookcase), and it looks as if a piece of Denise's pantyhose waistband is still around her middle. The complete opposite of a scripted photo and our enjoyment is only enhanced by the unplanned beauty of the excellent, true action.
