Sweetness up, Sexiness down

Overt sexiness has always seemed a bit out of place on Chinese girls themselves and on billboards throughout the country. Her appearance on the most recent cover of Vogue suggests Tang Wei is set to become everyone’s new fashion sweetheart.

因在《色戒》中富有争议的演出被封杀两年后,汤唯带着最新电影《月满轩尼诗》重新回到大家的视线中来了。

Factory Girls

Those who fancy pretty girls near big machines should check out the next music festival at 751 D-Park where pipes, giants tanks formerly filled with toxins, smokestacks and other mysterious mechanisms abound.

After a few Drinks

The lines for the large tubs of Absolut cocktail were brutal and long, but the drink was very potent. This young lady said she was feeling the effects.

I was trying to think of all of the headings for this that could involve Absolut _____ and nothing appropriate came to mind. Have they done an Absolut 798 advertisement yet?

At Intro Electronic Music Festival

Italy Pavilion Uniforms at Expo

I guess giving the “Best Uniforms at the Expo” award to Italy is not exactly a shocker, especially given that they are designed by Prada.

The fabrics were a little bit too techno for me – I often find this with Prada – but the color and pattern matching is quite memorable. I will talk more about the Pavilion itself later, but Italy deserves to do well in the China market after such an effort. Having the backing of such major fashion houses helps of course.
