Howdy, folks! It's good to be back. Here's a little bang bang to get us started again: two clips from Josephine Siao's 1967 action film The Professionals (金鷗).
First up are the opening credits — featuring Josephine dressed à la mode in a pirate's blouse and cravat and psychedelic print pants with white belt — followed by a scene in which she proves that she's way cooler than that British bloke... what was his name...

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.

Soft Film Summer Holiday

I just want to let you all know that I'll be taking a break from my blog this month. I'm feeling a little burned out and need some downtime to recharge.
Also, Fanny Fan invited me to cruise the Maldives in her private yacht for the next three weeks. And there's no way I was going to tell her, "Sorry, I'd love to join you, but I'm busy blogging."
Have a great June!

Stardolls: The Fun Continues
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been on a Stardoll bender the past ten days. Whew... talk about a lost weekend!
Here are a few more looks that I received in my inbox...
GoldenPigsy braved the ridicule of his friends to make these outfits for Fan Bingbing and Faye Wong. When he's not playing Stardoll, our porcine pal dishes out "brain slop" (which includes great reviews of bizarre Taiwanese wuxia movies) at his blog GoldenPigsy's Gilded Trough.
Here's Gong Li and Jay Chou, courtesy of Lucky Cat Zoë. Besides whiling away her time figuring out every possible combination of Jay Chou's impressive accessory collection, Zoë throws together a tasty chop suey of reggae, blues, and vintage Asian pop for her fabulous online radio show, Lucky Cat. If you've never had the pleasure of listening to one of her programs, get your ears over to Zoë's podcast archive. And then follow her on Blogger or Facebook, so you don't miss out on her next series of shows.
Finally, let me conclude this post with a double dose of cute and a solemn promise that I will never play with nor post a Stardoll ever again! ;p
