Fake Friday: Ancient Girl

This is one of those before and after makeup pictures. However, I realized that this girl wasn’t really that ugly compared to the others…

What I don’t understand is the number of girls in China who pay to have photos of them, in ancient outfits, taken. I thought that only tourists would do such a thing. Does this raise their marketability to men considerably? Is there some sort of weird cosplay fetish going on in China?
