Expressionless and Lovely

Bole just graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and is now looking for work. Maybe she can model boots? It is rare to people who can pull off stuffing trousers into boots; the hoards who can’t should desist immediately. The hat almost looks like the style worn by the Afghan Mujahadeen, which gets street credibility in my book. And yes, I do live and hang-out near the Central Academy of Drama. It also happens to have the most stylish students and it is the only university within the Second Ring Road of Beijing. Famous graduates include Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, but I believe all the major directors also attended.
