Exploring the ephemeral past of Chinese entertainment from Hong Kong, the U.S.A., and around the world: vaudeville pioneers, flappers, aviatrices, burlesque dancers, hula hoopers, movie queens, sex bombs, jade girls, tomboys, pin-ups, sour beauties, girl jocks, swordswomen, and go-go girls.

South Sea Greetings
Sorry for the sudden disappearance! I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the past two weeks. I'm struggling to get back into my blogging routine but hope to share some of the finds from my trip in the coming days like this lovely tropical Christmas card featuring Fanny Fan and Patricia Lam Fung.

hi David,
welcome back. This is very nice.
did you go to any thift/second hand stores in KL? (thats if they have any).
we call them op shops in Australia.
cheers
Thanks Eddy! I went to a Sunday flea market at one of the local malls. The pickings were pretty slim for movie ephemera but looked like a goldmine for vinyl collectors. I had better luck at some of the antique shops, where I found this card.
Precious find!!
Hi David,
Really sorry we didnt meet up in KL. I missed so many opportunities while I was there. Anyway, thanks so much for your encouragement and i look forward to following your blog in the future.

-- Hi Carl! No worries. I'm just happy you were able to meet so many of the Malay pop stars and musicians. Looking forward to the CD and documentary. :)
I like your photos of the graffitti in kl!:-) Hope u had fun in KL and enjoyed the food there too!
Hi hcpen! Yes, I had a fun time in KL and ate lots of good food, including mamak, nonya, thai, and tea cuisine (at Purple Cane). And although I didn't gorge on durian every day like I imagined I would, I had a really nice feast with my friends.
welcome back dave! hope you had a wonderful trip!
will you be posting up some pics?
Thanks Ling! And yes, I'll post a link to my photo album once I get it ready. :)
