lure of the disco

The Chinese Ugly Betty. Who is adorable, y'all. She was also one of the finalists to play Lin Daiyu, who is one of the most beautiful women in Chinese literature. IDEK, casting directors, IDEK. Great for a Su Li (if your Su Li is one of these), or a sibling for Fan Bingbing. Or Crystal Liu!

He looks so fabulously douchey and would make such a great jerk PB. He's of German/Chinese descent, and an actor/model, though he hasn't been in all that many things yet – his character in the Chinese Ugly Betty show is tbh, a little boring. But then I'm only in the middle of season one.

Qiqi, real name Wang Qiuzi. One of my finds from trawlin' Moko for the past couple of days (that website makes me feel so skeevy sometimes), the girl is stunning, especially her contact lenses eyes, but she has some serious modelface going on. Good for a NPC, perhaps!

I usually avoid the musician crops - mics, instruments, but I also didn't know if anyone would actually have a practical use for these icons of him, so I thought I'd let him retain his image. A little about Xie: he's the lead singer/guitarist/dude for Chinese rock band Coldblooded Animals. I'm fairly fond of their music, and I support them on principle: they are actually... a rockband. In China. Where generated popstars dominate. So. ♥

It's Bruce Lee! Only not. Though Danny does play Bruce in this newish TV series, and it's not hard to see why. It only adds to the effect when he dresses like a 70s porn star, I know.

He needs to smile more. Otherwise I've no complaints about his physical aspects since I believe this man is probably as close to perfection as we're going to get. Him and Michael Obiora and this guy I met at work the other day :D May or may not cap Crouching Tiger for him, but knowing how these things usually go, it'll probably be a 'may not' kind of scenario.

What I'd like to know is how to maintain my youthful complexion when I am older, like some Asians can. Sure it'll be annoying to get carded all the time when you buy drinks, but just think of the awesome if I could be like Li Qian and look 16 when I'm 24.

You'd think that now I'm on holidays I'd have time to make icons. You'd think. But no. Anyway. I'm still convinced that Bibi here should've won Supergirl (Chinese Idol... but girls only), even though I never watched the show. And she's utterly adorable.

Beautiful woman, terrible actress. Her legs go on til tomorrow though, which more than makes up for what she lacks in acting ability. Her last name is pronounced kind of like "Chyu".

Tiffany Tiffany Tiffany. You're young, you're hot, you've got the complexion most Asian women only dream about, and your character on It Started With A Kiss doesn't annoy me half as much as she did first time around. Just... stop dressing like you're 24 going on 42, please. She is, to me, like a half-Asian Olivia Thirlby.

When I was doing this batch, mum hovered a bit behind me, and then randomly commented that "whoever this is, he's pretty handsome", and I cracked up. The world needs moar Leehom, pls. The man's got singing/dancing/acting talent, plus he makes out with random dancers on stage, which is great in every possible way. Also IMO, could pass for Huang Xiaoming's brother :D :D :D

So I totally think that if Faye Wong and Mika Nakashima got it on and had a love child through the miracles of science, she'd look like Mavis.

Model, mainly, but also TV personality now - she hosted China's Next Top Model, which, as a show, brought so much lulz. Though Li Ai was totally fabulous in it and it was worth watching just for her.

Gorgeous, gorgeous man. Why on earth he never gets offered roles that really showcase his talent as an actor I will never know, though there was this one TV series he did, where he played a spy/gangster/rebel in 1920s Shanghai, and it was so hot. Anywho.
