Just some stuff:
- I added some links to older pictures (from my pre-China life, for instance) in the Photos section; it’s on the right hand side under the title “Older Photos.” This was previously accessible through the legacy version, but I thought I’d just consolidate all the pictures here so people can see how much more useless I’ve come to appear on film.
- Tina’s friend Ling, who has been a presence here in China on CCTV and who last I heard is getting her journalism master’s at Berkeley, wrote an article for Time about the prettying-up of Asian males. The funny thing was, I was fascinated by this article prior to hearing about it being written by Ling, when I came across it at my neighborhood hair salon. I couldn’t help but laugh at all these metrosexuals spending vast sums of money on their narcissistic little asses, only to turn out looking like a bastardized version of prince, or worse yet, a woman. Of course, I had to struggle to read all the fine print as my face was caked in a very fine and expensive layer of avocado cream, and I had to interrupt my reading several times because the 800 RMB pedicure I was getting from Jean-Pierre Wang was too disruptive to handle.
- The LA times has this great piece on the “second wife,” or mistress, of many prominent public officials in China. I couldn’t believe the amount of money some of these old men were throwing at their concubines, and just for status and sex! I immediately called up my sugar daddy and told him that if he really wanted to keep me, he’d have to thrown in that Lexus too. Fucking ingrate.
- I finally made it onto Shanghaiist! No, not as a writer, but close: they somehow got their hands on a picture of me and posted it. Now I’m a pseudo-celebrity here in Shanghai. Here’s the pic and the story.
Visiting my sweetie, Latecia
