Bye Bye Disco
From a small town in Yunnan, Peipei runs Bye Bye Disco, one of the most notable shops on Nanluoguxiang, with boyfriend Pang Kuan, a member of disco-punk hybrid act New Pants. More on Bye Bye Disco on the website of That’s Beijing, a magazine that is now defunct. This place is beloved of foreigners, who come for the iconic Feiyue sneakers (available all the way up to size 47 at Bye Bye Disco). Feiyue is so hip these days that there is even a blog.
wow, I want her tights!
This is a wonderful contextual photo with a nicely contrived view of a smartly dressed and coifed woman. The tights are great.
Hey! I have been following your blog for 5 days now and i should say i am starting to like your posts.I guess im subscribing now for not missing anything new.
Hmmm…I still think she looks like she’s “trying” to look like a retro hipster. I hope no one take offense. This is coming from an ABC (American Born Chinese). I have been living in China for the last 3 years, and growing bicultural cna really give you a keener eye on the Chinese people. In a given situation, I often look at it from a Western P.O.V., then from a Eastern P.O.V. then from a worldview…then concluding my decision. There’s something about the people in China …it’s something in them that they’re born with. I remember, back in the States, I can just walk down the street and distinctively tell who’s from China, who’s from Hong Kong, who’s from Taiwan, who’s from Korea, who’s from Japan and who are ABC. I guess it’s just in our blood. For the lucky few, we have the capabilities to be like a chameleon, disable people from tagging us with labels. I’m not being egoistical, but few people ever guess right where I’m from. I hope one day, the Chinese youth can look more like a global citizen instead of wanna-be’s. I know it sounds harsh, but it’s true, to an extent.
