Sonia Sui, Taiwan's top model

One of Taiwan's exceptional women


Sonia Sui or 隋棠 (pronounced Suí Táng) is currently Taiwan's most famous top model. Born on 22nd October 1981, she's slowly approaching the age of 30, but she looks better like never before. She's part of the famous Taiwanese model agency Catwalk Production House. Last year she was voted Top Taiwanese model 2010 on one of Taiwan's most popular blogs. Sadly, she did not claim her tiara, nor did anyone from Taiwan's mainstream media notice her victory. Frankly, that doesn't speak well for the visibility of that blogger, who spills out his heart for Taiwan, but let's not go there now. Sonia Sui is for me the second most beautiful Taiwanese woman (my number one would be this amazing lady), but she's definitely top in the model business not only in Taiwan, probably in whole East Asia. Her biggest assets are her gorgeous smile and for the model business perfect waistline (58.4cm or 23 inch). According to sources, she's very mindful about what she eats in order to maintain her skinny appearance, what's more she said she's doing 100 sit ups a day to keep fit (source). She's one of these women, who can be a graceful diva, a femme fatale or the cute girl next door. She's commonly seen in Taiwanese TV ads, variety shows and soap operas. She's also booked for various events promoting beauty products, clothes, even cars. I mean, who would not want to have their product connected to this extraordinary beauty? Dear Sonia, in case you want to help me promote my blog, I'm open to that. I will send you a I love My Kafkaesque life T-shirt, you can wear it, when you go a variety show. I think it's a win-win situation for both ;-)

I browsed the web and found some great photos of Sonia. These are my favorites:

Paulina 胡文英, Taiwan's wonder mom

Let me introduce you yet another exceptional woman from Taiwan


Meet Paulina: An exceptional mom.

I noticed Paulina, known under the real name 胡文英 (Hú Wén Yīng), in one of the updates on Nicole's Facebook page. So I had to check her out and wow: She truly is an incredible woman. Why you might ask? Well, she's a mom of 3 kids (the oldest is 17 years old) and looks that good. Don't you agree? She became popular in 2009, when she appeared on a Taiwanese variety show featuring beautiful mature women. She was 42 years old back then. She was born in 1967! She instantly became popular online, appearing on various blogs and forums. She's 43 now and still posting photos of herself on her blog. Do you remember, when I wrote about "Taiwan's wonder woman" Jeannie Hsieh a while ago? I couldn't believe how good she looked at age 36, but what about Paulina? I had a hard time finding a title for her, but I think "Taiwan's wonder mom" would do her justice (I don't wanna use that abbreviation that ends with -ilf, let's keep it classy).

Check some videos of Paulina, first is a slideshow of her photos, the second her appearance on a Taiwanese variety show:


According to Paulina, she doesn't do sports, she just keeps a strict diet. The rest is taking care of her body with various beauty products. I'm sure some of her photos were retouched and she also uses a lot of make-up, but we can't deny that she's blessed with great genes, that keep her looking young after the dreaded age of 40. Sure, she has a very skinny body (she's 167cm and has 43kg according to sources), but that alone doesn't make her look young. I think a lot of it is the attitude. Her fashion style and the way she takes photos is the one of a young girl, maybe a teenager, but definitely someone in the early twenties. There are photos of her, where I would say she looks 23, some others make her look way over 30. It depends on the angle, the light, the zoom and the expression. With that said, one thing is sure: She definitely doesn't look over 40. But these days, they say, you're as old as you feel. Age does matter, of course. If it wasn't, I would not write this post. But more and more men and women are pushing the boundaries, baffling us, inspiring us. As long as they age naturally, I will give them thumbs up.


Paulina, a 43 years old woman your cute girl next door?

Since I try to keep this blog somewhat semi-decent (alright, stop chuckling), I didn't wanna post some of her sexier photos. Believe me, she's pretty bold, when it comes to photo shoots, so if you wanna see some of her hottest pics from 2009, when she was at the height of popularity, go to:

You can also visit her blog or browse through her personal album.

So what do you think about Paulina and how do you like women, who at an age over 40 still want to look like younger women or girls and behave that way?

My list of Top 10 Taiwanese models

Classiest, sassiest and hottest Taiwanese models of 2010/2011

Taiwan is full of beautiful women! I think that's clear to everyone who's ever visited that beautiful country. From young to old, most Taiwanese girls and young women are graceful and classy, but bold enough to be sexy when they feel like. Be it beautiful girls selling betel nuts on the countryside or sassy urban women in Taipei, who make streets look like catwalks, Taiwan is simply a pool of exceptional beauties like rarely seen in other countries. Why is that so, I'll leave it to someone else. What I want to do here is introduce to you the hottest Taiwanese models of 2010/11.

Interestingly, I only knew three models from Taiwan before (who are now over 30): The always labeled as number one model in Taiwan Chiling Lin (林志玲) and the the eternal runner-up Pace Wu (吳佩慈). These two dominated the model business few years ago, but are less active now. Even more famous is another model (turned actress) from Taiwan: Shu Qi (舒淇). She gained international fame by appearing in various popular movies. Who doesn't know her from the movie Transporter?


Today however, I want to show you, that the new generation of Taiwanese models are more than eager to grab that invisible crown from Chiling's head. The girls listed below were introduced to me by my girlfriend, who also helped me composing this post. However it was I, who picked and listed them in the order of my preference. So this may also be a list of Taiwanese beauties seen through a foreigner's eyes. These girls are pretty known, if not very famous in Taiwan. I'm sure most of them would land in the top ten of an average Taiwanese guy as well. They're not only models, who go to fashion shows or make photos for the magazines, they usually appear on TV in various Taiwanese talk shows, advertise beauty products and appear on various events. Some even act or sing. In Taiwan most celebrities have multiple talents and are usually engaged in a lot of projects at the same time. Many of them are also known in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and PR China. Beauty is very important in Taiwanese culture, especially for the women. And once you make it in the Taiwanese beauty business, wealth, fame and admiration are guaranteed.

The models on my list were all born in the 1980s, they're mostly tall, skinny and photogenic (which was the essential criteria to be on my list) and they're probably some of the hottest women in the country at this moment. Please vote on the poll at the end, I want to know your top ten. And be careful not to get blinded by all that beauty (wink).

My list of Top 10 Taiwanese models (name first, family name last):

01 隋棠 Sonia Sui 1981, 173cm
Sonia Sui or 隋棠 (pronounced Suí Táng) was born 22. 10. 1981 in Jhongsing village. She is one of the most famous Taiwanese models of our times. She's part of the famous Taiwanese model agency Catwalk Production House. I chose her as my number one Taiwanese model, because she has the perfect body of a model as well as a perfectly beautiful face with a gorgeous smile. She always looks classy, but with a touch of a cute girl next door. She's certainly a dream woman, who just looks perfect on every photo. Check also the video on the left to see how good she looks in TV commercials. She's also an actress, starring in several Taiwanese drama.

02 姚采穎 Yvonne Yao 1981, 173cm
Yvonne Yao or 姚采穎 (pronounced Yáo Cǎiyǐng) was born on 16. 11. 1981 in Taipei. She's probably the most photogenic of all the models and has the perfect model body and face. She's not the cute girl next door, but more of a femme fatale. She's famous for a life with many ups and downs. She grew up in poor circumstances and without a father. She became popular as a model in 2000 and her fame peaked in 2004. Being in the focus of the media, a photo of her smoking a cigarette spurred an outrage, because she was engaged in an anti smoking campaign. She publicly apologized. In 2008 she was arrested and suspected to be in possession of marijuana (someone used her name), but tests proved, that she did not use any drugs. But the negative press damaged her name again. In 2010 a video of her smoking was leaked on You-Tube.

03 王伊平 Vickey Wang 1983, 178cm
Vickey Wang or 王伊平 (pronounced Wáng Yīpíng) was born on 18.6.1983. She's famous for having a very nice curves and Taiwanese gave her the nickname "美胸名模", which means the "super model with a beautiful chest" (see a famous video of her walking). Besides these outstanding assets (no pun intended), she's one of the tallest models on the list and the one that probably has the most beautiful face. She's also one of these models that looks amazing in all types of clothes, especially in jeans. Besides being a supermodel, Vickey is a talented musician. She graduated in traditional music at TNUA. All that combined totally convinced me to put her in my top 3. Ain't she amazing? Photo and info sources: [Bio][Sohate.pixnet pics][Babe1616 pics]

04 王思平 Jenna Wang 1987, 173cm
Jenna Wang or 王思平 (pronounced Wáng Sīpíng) was born on 22. 5. 1987. She part of the younger generation of the current top Taiwanese models and proved herself to be a very versatile and photogenic model. She became popular in 2009 by being on the cover of FHM Taiwan (see the photo shoot in the video). She's not so famous like some other girls here, but I really like her photos, because she always looks good on them, especially when she's wearing elegant clothes, such as gowns. She's also amazing casual wear, such as shorts and tops. She's definitely the cute girl next door type and not a vamp like Yvonne Yao or Vickey Wang. I'm sure she'll be more famous in the future. Photo and info sources: [WikiTW][Blog][FB Page][Moko.cc][MY POST]

05 赖琳恩 Lene Lai 1989, 169cm
Lene Lai or 赖琳恩 (pronounced Lài Línēn) was born on 6. 6. 1989 in Taipei. She the youngest on the list. She has recently became popular and is known as a very versatile and talented young woman. She started her career with beauty pageants (2nd runner up in Miss Asia Pageant 2008) and continued to play in dramas, movies and music videos, as well as appearing on various TV channels either as a guest or as a co-host. She's said to be the younger version of another famous model named Ruru Lin (the girl below), because they look alike a little. I think she belongs on this list, because she extremely likable and cute, probably the cutest of all the girls on the list (check her video). In a couple of years, she'll probably be the number 1 model in Taiwan.
Photo and info: [WikiEN][WikiTW][FB Page][RainDog pics][Purple gown pics][MY POST]

06 林葦茹 Ruru Lin 1981, 175cm
Ruru Lin or 林葦茹 (pronounced Lín Wěirú) was born on 28. 11. 1981 in Taipei. She's a popular TV presenter and model. She also appeared in music videos and did several advertisements and promotions. She's one of the "oldest" on the list here, close to that dreaded 30 mark, but she looks way younger. If I didn't know she's born in 1981, I would think she's way below 24 years old. She does have an awesome body (like most girls on the list) and obviously she feels great doing shoots in bikini (it wasn't easy to find pics of her not in one), because that's where she looks the best. But she also has a face to remember, a cute girly face that is. She looks more like a hot girl next door than like a supermodel (compare to Yvonne Yao). She could've easily be in the top 3 here, but I gave other younger girls the chance to be higher on the list. Photo and info sources: [WikiTW][Blog][Album][FB Page][Osaki99 pics]

07 李毓芬 Yufen Li 1985, 163cm
Yufen Li or 李毓芬 (pronounced Lǐ Yùfēn) also known as Tia or Keiko, was born 11. 5. 1985. She's said to look a bit like the younger version of Vivian Xu, a popular Taiwanese singer. But that wouldn't do her justice, because she's much than just a lookalike of her. She's the shortest of all the girls on the list, but she's definitely a great model. She makes up for the lack of height with her charming persona and beautiful eyes. She really has great modeling skills and if you'd not know that she's so short, you wouldn't think she's any different than other girls here. She looks petite and cute, these are her biggest assets. But she's also very good in looking serious and seductive. She's definitely on the right list. Photo and info: [FB Page][Blog][Osaki99 pics][RainDog post]

08 馮媛甄 Abby Fung 1982, 164cm
Abby Fung or 馮媛甄 (pronounced Féng Yuànzhēn) was born on 30. 10. 1982 in Chiayi. She a famous model and TV persona in Taiwan. Her nickname is little cutie (小可愛) and many people say she's the small version of Taiwan's famous supermodel Chiling Lin. Abby is probably the cutest girl on the list. She's also not the tallest, but you'll forget about that completely, when you hear her speak. She has the cutest voice ever. You gotta see the video and hear her speak. I asked my girlfriend, if it's really her voice and she guaranteed me, that this is truly her voice. Amazing, huh? She's not the supermodel type, but she's definitely the cute girl next door type, the one you'd love to have as a friend, if not girlfriend. She has a very good figure and a smile you won't forget. And I'm not even gonna mention her voice again.

09 白歆惠 Bianca Bai 1982, 175cm
Bianca Bai or 白歆惠 (pronounced as Bái Xīnhuì) is born on 23. 10. 1982 in Taipei. She's born in a family of entertainers, her father used to work for a TV, her mother was a singer. She's a famous model and TV persona, who starred in dramas and music videos and also did a lot of TV ads and other promotions. She's famous for a large chest, which she cleverly uses to her advantage (just check the video on the left and you'll know what I mean). Once on a fashion show her nipple was exposed (see NSFW photo), the media gave her the nickname "pink nipples" (粉紅乳暈), because according to my girlfriend (*cough) that color is rare (*cough) for Taiwanese women. I have never even thought about it, and I guess you haven't, too. But well, now you know it :-P Anyway Bianca deserves to be on this list, because she's really a great model with a lot of grace. Maybe not the model type at first glance, but once you see her TV ads, you'll realize how talented she is. Photo and info sources: [WikiTW][FB Page][Baidu pics][Osaki99 pics]

10 劉伊心 Yihsin Liu 1984, 170cm
Liu Yihsin or 劉伊心 (pronounced Liú Yīxīn) was born on 30. 11. 1984. She became known in 2009, when she won few beauty pageants (Miss Asia Beauty Pageant) and ever since, she's doing photo shoots and appear in TV shows, but unlike most of the other girls here, she's not really famous. She has a curvaceous body and a beautiful chest, which she loves to display in various photos she makes. A photo of her nipple slip was leaked and people thought she did it on purpose, which garnered her some attention online. I put her on this list, because I thought she has a nice body and a very memorable face. She looks very sexy in most of her photos, but she's more like a photo model and less a fashion model, hence no 10 on my list. Photo and info sources: [WikiTW][Blog][Album][Yuan3652 pics][Iamayuan pics]


It took me a while to compose this post and I want to thank my girlfriend again, who provided me all the information I needed about the girls. I hope you have learned something more about Taiwan and about the Taiwanese idea of beauty. There are of course thousands of Taiwanese girls like them, who could be put on this list, but these girls, albeit seen everywhere on Taiwanese streets, are not famous. Many dream to be famous, only few succeed. And I've chosen the ones who have broken through and climbed all the way up to the top of the Taiwanese beauty industry. And believe me, it's not easy, because the competition is fierce. This post will be translated in Chinese and also I may do another list next year to see how much has changed in a year. For now, I want you to vote on the poll on the left and tell me which girl is currently your number one Taiwanese model.

How to seduce a Japanese woman

by now most people in this world know that i am an expert of seduction of far eastern women. i have spent a big portion of my life studying women from the most eastern part of the biggest continent and my impenetrable seductive powers are admired and feared in the occident as well as in the orient.
i traveled, i observed, i listened. there were innumerable moments in my life, where a lovely lady gave in to her tidal wave of emotions and longed and begged for a single touch of my lips with hers. oh, how many ladies fell into my arms willingly and completely entrusted themselves to me.
too many, my friends. too many.
now that i am famous and few ten thousand followers can't wait to learn the wisdom i acquired through my several years long pilgrimages to asia, i am willing to unlock and dust off my inner marco polo and share a story about how i seduced a lovely japanese office lady from kyoto a few years ago. her name was saki. saki seto. her blossoming youth and the charming ways were electrifying and i couldn't help but to surrender to her appeal that was beyond tantalizing.
i used to go to that office building near kyoto tower from time to time only to see, if there were women that had that certain expression, the one that says i'm yearning for something more than the daily routine. i want to be fulfilled. i took photos of the building from the outside. it was a terrible structure and i wasn't surprised to see quite few women with that look inside. but then i saw saki.
she was different than other women, because she really longed for change in her life. her eyes told me that every single moment they met with mine. i admit, i was drawn to her, so when i had some free time (and as a photographer i had plenty of it), i was most often found around that building, where she entered and exited every day at about the same time. she worked overtime of course, because that's very common in japan. i was a ghost. she couldn't see me, nor my big camera, because i knew how to hide when i had to. i couldn't reveal my weakness for her or my utmost powerlessness in her presence or my nervousness even if she was a hundred meters away. i wanted to be invisible to her, because i needed to study her. i pasted her photos on the wall of my apartment, i wrote a list of all the things she does, like smiling, when she sees a butterfly passing by her office window or how she holds chopsticks in her left hand so skillfully. it took me seven days to figure out how i could conquer her heart. i will never forget that reality altering moment, where i realized that i just deciphered the ultimate way to steal the heart of every japanese woman. of course she wasn't every japanese woman, she was saki. saki seto.
saki in her office. i had the privilege to see how dazzling she looked at work.

she was beyond japanese, beyond woman, she was pure magic in the shape of a japanese woman. it felt as if god carved perfection and embodied it in her. even though i unraveled one of the mysteries every man in this world would not only envy me, but torture me in order to extract the secrets from me, i wasn't completely sure, that saki would fall for the ultimate move i have set up for her.
i knew i had to focus real hard. the next day i first headed to the east temple, where i tried to dispel the torment of my heart by restoring my inner balance with meditation. it worked. in the afternoon i found myself near that office building again. soon after arriving i saw her sitting in her office on the second floor. she diligently took care of paper work while charmingly explaining serious matters to her office mate. then she stood up and left for the main lobby. that was the moment when i thought it's now or never. i was ready. i walked quickly just to pause in front of the main door of the building. i saw her, she was standing near the elevator, checking some papers. snap! i took a photo of her. snap! i took another one. i started to approach her, when she finally glanced over, still not expecting that i'm about to ask the most important question of her life.

let's freeze the moment here for a bit. you must be wondering, what did i do, what did he say? i'm dying of curiosity. and don't worry, i will reveal the biggest mystery of all times very soon to you, but i must say something very important first: forget about all the websites claiming to be experts on how to seduce a japanese woman, i've read them all. forget about all the cultural differences they try to instill into your head, it's a sham!
they only want page impressions, that's why they lie to you. everyone knows that love is stronger than any cultural barrier. you just need to follow my way and you'll be fine, trust me. but now back to the situation.

so what did i do, what did i say? well, she was about to fix her shoes, when she saw me taking another photo of her. she looked up to my lens and smiled gently with her eyes asking what is it you want, lovely stranger? that was the moment where i finally had the opportunity to make the move of my life. i took a deep breath and then i asked what i had been planning meticulously to ask: would you like to share a bowl of ramen with me? the moment froze for few seconds. i could hear my sweat pouring down my back. i feared my broken japanese wasn't understandable to her, when she lifted her left eye brow in awe. but a second later she gently replied in her perfect japanese: yes, of course, i'd love to. i was released, her warm words jump started my heart in that very moment. it was electrifying.
in that evening we met near kyoto tower and she brought me to her favorite ramen shop. we shared ramen, we smiled, we joked. she held my hand, fed me, giggled. we had some intense 3 months before i had to fly to taiwan, where i became the celebrity i am today. all that happened, because saki inspired me to master the art of seduction. and i realized that food transcends everything, even the harshest realities and the steepest slopes of insecurity. now you know how to seduce a japanese woman or any woman for that matter: it starts by simply talking to them!

Why most men love and most women hate Megan Fox?

I think a part of the answer lies in the question above: Because most men love Megan fox, most women hate her. I think the main reason for the hate is simple: Envy. Women, who are extremely sexy, will always attract the scorn and contempt of other women. Isn't it funny, that we men on the other hand do admire a handsome man's popularity with the ladies, because we rather think what we could do to become like him instead of finding flaws to make him appear as nothing special. In my case, I never envied Brad Pitt at the height of his popularity in the 1990s. I was happy for him, even admired him. He was the male Megan Fox back then, just that he was always the good guy. Megan on the other hand is considered the bad girl by the media. She has tattoos, she has most likely done some surgery, she's blunt and outspoken, never shy to say what she thinks. She's not hesitant to show of her sexy body and be the vixen the media wants her to be. And the men love her and think she's uberhot. And the women hate her and think she's fake. Ok, I'm exaggerating, not everyone thinks that way. But there are many people who react to her the way I described here. I was reading some comments under the video embedded above (which is pretty funny, btw) and here are some typical reactions to her:

Women:

Angeline Jolie is better. Jessica Alba is better. They're so classy and beautiful naturally. Megan Fox looks like a pornstar. [by roseheroine]

I hate to admit, I am jealous of how pretty she is, but then again, she's fake, natural beauty doesnt come with makeup, hair dye, spray on tans, plastic surgery and eye contacts. [by Xrandomnesssable]

Men:

The people moaning about how natural beauty isn't appreciated, aren't naturally beautiful.
Megan Fox is 86x hotter than any of you will ever be, even in your dreams.
[by
a155099]

To all the comments saying "she's not hot without any makeup" and shit, f*ck off. I'd f*ck her brains out and so would any straight guy on this planet. [by AnE000002]

To conclude my little observation, let me tell you that I myself am a Megan Fox fan. Hey, I'm a typical guy ;-) I think she's one of the hottest women in the world at this point, only my girlfriend is hotter than her for me (that's obvious). And with all the love for Asian celebrities and models, at this time I can hardly find any girl from the Far East matching up with Megan Fox.

With that said, I urge my female followers to not mind my personal feelings and tell me honestly: Do you like Megan Fox? If you do or if you don't, just explain why, so we can find out why does she divide the genders so much.

What does Hwang Mi-hee think?

Imagine the image above is something you saw in real, with your own eyes:

It's a hot spring day in Korea and you find yourself wandering a few miles away from Seoul in the country side, a bit lost, a silly tourist, who went astray and doesn't speak Korean. You're tired, hungry and thirsty and you need someone to tell you the way back to Seoul, where you will feel safe, where you belong. It's after two hours of walking, when you see her sitting there at the side of the road. It's Hwang Mi-hee, presented in all her beauty and curiously looking at you. Her long sexy legs are displayed, it seems, only for you and you can't do anything but stare at those 180 centimeters of female perfection and silently utter oh sweet mother in heaven to yourself...

But then you're just a step away from her and I want you to tell me: What do you do?

a. You stop, look her in the eyes and smile. You use sign language to ask for directions.
b. You look at her, smile and continue walking. You curse yourself for not talking to her.
c. You start to sweat, blush and tremble. You feel like a complete idiot and start running.
d. You stop, look at her and give her a big smile. Then you sit beside her and start to flirt.
e. ________________ (Maybe something completely else. Share with me, be creative).

So... what would you do and how would she respond?

Hanna: A Taiwanese fairy tale

A Taiwanese girl's thorny path to beauty

Let me show you some photos of a lovely Taiwanese girl. Her name is Hanna 澎澎. Do you agree with me, that she's beautiful?

Hanna: Beautiful face, perfect body, dreamy eyes...

Hanna: Simply dazzling.

Hanna, a lovely Taiwanese girl.

Now you wonder why am I showing you photos of a beautiful girl? Well, there's much more to Hanna. Unlike other girls, she wasn't always as perfect as now (according to the modern standards of beauty). There's a story behind these photos. They are a result of a thorny path she had to walk to become like this. Why? Because...

...Hanna used to look like this [photo on the left].
Hanna lost 44kg!

She's currently 24 years old and she's blossomed into a beautiful young woman. She used to have 94 kg and came down to 50. Isn't that amazing? I admire people, who have such will-power to change their lives by never giving up. Apparently she stopped eating meat and maintained a strict diet. I hope Hanna will be an inspiration for you. In case you're about to give up in one of your struggles, think twice. Is it really so hard to continue? You have to find that out for yourself.

On another note. Have you seen celebrities without make-up? If you haven't, check some pics here. It will make you feel good. I guess with great make-up, you can be perfect, too. But then again, what is perfect and what has value?

Hanna, 你鼓舞了我。我欽佩你,加油!

Adeline Lee: Singaporean beauty

Let me introduce you my exceptional friend


I came across this lovely lady 3 months ago on Twitter. Where else, right? Seems like Twitter is a place to meet the most awesome people. Adeline Lee (born 1985) is definitely one of those. And she's also one of these women, when you see them, you just have to ask them something like: Are you a model? And I think that was one of the first questions I had in our initial tweet exchange. And yes, she is a model. But not only that - she's a model you'll definitely remember. What captivated me most about her were her eyes. She's got that uniquely deep look with big radiant eyes you can't really forget. Check the photo above and below: Amazing eyes, right?


But apart from the eyes, she's got an awesome body, which is obvious in the next pics (She's 163cm tall). Have you noticed the leopard outfits? Seems as she has a special affection for leopards, because she uses the nickname leopardladyy for her blog, Twitter and other websites. But more about that later in the interview.


This my personal fav photo of Adeline. I love those sunnies.

I like this one: Black, white and blue colors, a perfect composition.

Now that you know a little about Adeline, let's hear what she has to say. I decided to make a small interview with her, it's my first, so wish me luck :-) So here's a little conversation I had with the amazing Singaporean model Adeline Lee:

How do your friends call you? Any nicknames?

They all call me Adeline, but my family calls me 'ah Yong' in Chinese (my Chinese name in short), I hate it because it sounds like a guy's name. Lol.

I noticed you use 'leopardladyy' as your online name. How come?

Because I love leopard prints so much! hehe. I love animal prints. :) Everyone knows it's my trademark now, haha!

When did you begin modeling and how did it start?

I started modeling early this year. It all started when a photographer approached me for shoots, and then I find myself doing it till now...It's fun.

Share some of your favorite models, female and male.

I love Devon Aoki, she's a model turned actress. She has very unique features. And from male models Randall Tan from Singapore.

What is your favorite look when it comes to fashion?

The wild smokey eyes look is my all time favourite.

What kind of shoes are your favorite?

I love high heels, but it always gives me nasty blisters. I love boots too, but it's not very appropriate to wear in Singapore, unless it's for special occasions etc.

Share your favorite make-up brands for my female readers.

I love MAC cosmetics, eg. their liquid foundation and concealer provides great coverage which is suitable for parties/shoots. And I always wear Maybelline mascaras, I think they are alot better than those expensive brands. I don't have to wear any fake lashes at all!

Now let's talk about some topics that aren't related to modeling. What do you do in your free time? What are your hobbies?

I love reading novels/literatures. And singing is also my hobby.

Where did you travel and which place did you like the most?

I've only been to Bangkok and Hong Kong/Shenzhen. But I really love Bangkok. Apart from all the cheap bargains, their simplicity of lifestyle appeals to me, it gave me a nostalgic feeling.

What's your favorite food? Do you cook and what do you cook best?

Lol. My fave food is pasta/sphagetti and tom yam. And I just learned how to cook pasta, haha. I want to try cooking tom yam next. :)

What are your favorite TV shows?

My fave tv shows are American next topmodel and Prison Break. I don't really chase dramas, but watch a lot of movies.

Who is your favorite singer?

Jam Hsiao.

What kind of guy is handsome for you?

Like Wentworth Miller! Lol.

What kind of people annoy you the most?

Ohh... I met a lot of annoying people while taking the train everyday in the morning. Weird people, who try to strike a conversation, people who squeeze and push like mad....

You're pretty, you must have many guys approaching you...

Hahaha, but im married. Lolz.

How would you describe your character?

I'm quite introverted. I tend to be very quiet around people I don't really know,and hence often being mistaken as aloof, which I'm really not. But with my close friends or family, I would be crazy!

Before we finish this little interview, do you have any special message for my readers?

I wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy New year! Hope everyone enjoys good health and good luck for the coming year 2010! :)

Thank you for the lovely interview.

Thanks for the time and effort. :)

Wang Zi Fei: Chinese online sensation

China's beauty in black

Recently there was news about a girl in China named Wang Zi Fei (王紫菲), who has become an instant internet sensation! She's called The Beauty in Black, but I'll explain that later. First have a look at her pictures: Doesn't she look beautiful?





Do you want to know how she became famous?

She sat behind US president Obama at his town hall meeting with an audience of students in Shanghai (Nov 16, 2009). While he spoke about individual rights and freedoms, the camera captured Wang Zi Fei in the back, who took of her red jacket and sat there in a black shirt and skirt and listened. Soon after the broadcasting Chinese netizens went crazy and started to speculate about her, naming her The Beauty in Black and begun to spread all kinds of false (and also nasty rumours) about her [Source here]. Soon her identity was public and the poor girl had to write a blog post to refute all the crazy rumours. [You can read the English translation here, but scroll down]

It's obvious that she caught attention, because she's beautiful. And I'm sure that the one who initially went crazy were men. That's just how it is and always was: Men go crazy when they spot a beautiful woman. She was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Zi Fei, I wish you good luck and hope you can get something good out of this after being defamed by so many Chinese netizens. A model career? We shall see. 加油, 紫菲!

Kang Yui: Best Korean model

Let me introduce you another famous model from Korea

Kang Yui in 2010with short hair.

Her name is Kang Yui [강유이], born 16. December 1982*, and according to the latest news, she is currently the busiest** South Korean model. I did a little research and here's what I found out: She's is 176cm tall and currently weighs 53kg. She started as a racing girl in 2006 and turned into a very versatile model in 2009. Her nickname is 깜직이 which means Precious 2.

Personally, she's my favorite Korean model. So many favor Hwang Mi-hee 황미희, another popular Korean racing model, but she just doesn't have that natural beauty and the versatility of Kang Yui. Check the pics below and the links I provided and you will realize that she's close to the universal ideal of feminine beauty: A gorgeous face reflexing a depth of multiple emotions, captivating and radiant eyes, a perfect smile and a figure that can hardly be topped. There's so many beautiful women and she's definitely one of the few that would leave a very strong impression on every man's (and woman's) mind. Enjoy her photos and best of luck to Kang Yui's future, that will undoubtedly be bright.
