Up for cross dressing?
In Korea, a boyband called SHINee starred in a new cross-dressing drama called "School of Rock Summer Special".
I haven't actually watched it myself but wow. I've never heard of a WHOLE BOYBAND cross- dress as girls. It really is erm.... something new. Apparently it is a success because korean girls are going wild seeing their favourite boyband in wigs and short skirts.
Though cross-dressing for shows are not something new, they should be completely differentiated from singing Drag Queens cause asian shows tend to only feature the 'pretty boys' that look almost girlish like.
Not surprisingly as well, handsome , delicate featured males dressed as women are also not uncommon in Japan. Akihabara Street in Japan (famous for weird kooky stores & cafes!) opened its very first Maid Cafe.
You're probably thinking "Like, OMG, who actually wants to go there????!!!!"
Your answer:
Photo credits, click here (yes, you know you like em. there's more from where that came from)
To read more about how the hell did this concept come about click this!
The video below is a Japanese host show were the men cross dress as women. Some of the men actually turn out quite beautiful! Until they start talking then it gets pretty weird.
But ladies fret not, Akihabra Street in Japan also houses the very popular Edelstein Café a "boarding school" where long-lashed men dressed in uniform play the part of schoolboys as they go about serving their adoring female customers.

The power of advertising
Damn you Aero. Watch this advertising clip below. Its a MUST WATCH!
The advert uses a "Sex and chocolate" concept to encourage (probably female and gay) people to buy their chocolate.
The brand is pinning their marketing on ‘Sex and the City’ hunk Jason Lewis who played the role of ‘Smith Jerrod’ in the popular TV series
Created by JWT, the script for the ad attempts to seduce consumers. It reads, "37 degrees Celsius. Otherwise known as body temperature. When the little bubbles in new Aero Bubbles dissolve, the chocolate melts even faster in your mouth. And that, ladies, makes the pleasure even more intense."
Miaow.
To read more, click here.
So in the end, did I get influenced by this ad?
Yes.
Did I find the character yummy (by this, I mean the Aero chocolate obviously. ahem)?
Hm.. well, there is no doubt Aero is a very yummy chocolate. However, I did not feel the 'intense pleasure' from chocolate melting too fast. Felt a bit upset actually that chocolate could melt soo easily as I usually like to let it slowly melt in my mouth savouring the flavour. For me, it was just a very very veryhorny sexy advertising gimmick.
Do I still like Aero then?

Hello little fucker
UPDATE: moved my blog. the stupid drama below was getting annoying. Any future comments will be left at the bottom of the page, not in my chatbox anymore (I've removed it anyway). SHIT LOHH!!! I hated the fact the "Shim" knew so much about my life. Now I have to upgrade my security for everything. ish ish ish.
Hey.
Yeah, I remember you. I remember the sweet little comment you left on my chat box:
anonymous how to adore you? i find you f'ugly
IP: 90.214.97
Then I scanned your stupid little IP add and you were just some pathetic internet surfer that goes blog hopping to diss people because you're probably a worm that lives in a dark stinky hole. Nonetheless I continued to ignore your comment because you are a NOBODY.
But my girls are the bestest things ever. They dissed you back.
eiko+13.: Yes, and your name is anonymous.
wildberry : anonymous, u want to know the real definition of fugly? go look in the mirror - it doesn't get fuglier than that.
eiko+13.: Don't scare yourself!
However.......... I was shocked a few days later to see a comment from my close friend Melvyn saying this to me:
melvyn : save your breath gals, annonymous dude's probably never ever gonna read what you all said. he has a point though. LOL
cereal 2 mel: are u saying i'm fugly???!!! I will personally rip u to pieces if the answer is 'yes' =_=
melvyn: aww, that's not gonna change our friendship, will it? are you only friends wih ppl who think u're prettty? :D
eiko+13. : aww, don't be so cruel to mel.... everyone's entitled to their 2 cents worth.
I GOT REALLY PISSED AT MY FRIENDS. Thank God though they came up to me telling me that those comments weren't left by them.
I did a double check.
Why you little worm. Its probably you or your wormy little friend trying to spam my blog. I can take it if you diss me but you impersonate my friends????!!! Aren't you a brave little backboneless asshole. Just the right description of a worm. Befits you no?
Since you're sooooooooooooooooo " Oh I am mightier than thou" attitude, and you insist that you have your 2 cents worth , well you fuckin retard, its time to hear mine.
YOU ARE A WORMLESS COWARD YOU MOTHERFUCKER.
STOP IMPERSONATING MY FRIENDS AND GET A REAL LIFE OUT OF THE INTERNET RETARD.
I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN WITH YOUR IP ADD.

Beijing (III) - Going to touristy places
Beijing is a touristy place kau kau. Even though I've already stayed there for 7 days I have only visited half of all the available tourist attractions! I did so wanted to see the catacombs (ok, technically its not in Beijing itself but its super nearby).
My mum is an absolute sucker (sorry) for old churches, she likes the whole olden times feel and complex architecture. So we went to visit 2 of the oldest churches in Beijing.
This church dosen't feel like church grounds at all because of the massive amount of people picnicking there and doing skateboarding/rollerblading. pretty cool stuff ^^
We stopped by to visit Wanfujing market as well as buy souveneirs. Damn sad loh, actually I bought a Mao Ze Dong lighter from here which would have made a great souveneir but they confiscated it at customs =_=
The next day we went to visit yet another church founded by St. Francis. I think.
I also went to visit one of Beijing's most historical places that day, the Temple of Heaven.
All these historical places usually have huge parks surrounding them and the public just love to go there to do all sorts of outdoorsy stuff.
History says that the Temple of Heaven was created for the King and his discples to worship and pray to Heaven. In those days, only the King was allowed to pray or ask anything from heaven.
For the Olympics, the China's government spent billions of RMB trying to restore the historical architecture in Beijing - it pulled of wonderfully. They have restored all the detailed drawings on each piller and roof painstakingly. It really is kinda stunning to see the amount of work they have put into it.
But seriously, from my totally honest point of view the Temple of Heaven is NOT worth visiting. Kinda rubbish actually, its soooo boring!! If you really want to see more temples/olden china architecture everyone is better off going to see the Forbidden Kingdom or the Summer Palace (which I will blog about eventually) .
If you are around GouMau, Beijing business central you should however stop by to visit Trader's Hotel. This is the hotel where all the massive names stayed in during the Olmpic games, big names such as George Bush, the president of India, Princess of Jordan, etc etc.
And there is little doubt as to why they choose this place.
The famous CCTV tower. CCTV is China's national television, and this tower was famous for its unique structure.
My mum is an absolute sucker (sorry) for old churches, she likes the whole olden times feel and complex architecture. So we went to visit 2 of the oldest churches in Beijing.
I cannot remember any of the churches' names but I'm sure their bound to have a "St...." something
This church dosen't feel like church grounds at all because of the massive amount of people picnicking there and doing skateboarding/rollerblading. pretty cool stuff ^^
I like the way the chinese words are tattoed vertically down his side. UBER NICE!!!He would have looked so much better if he took of his nerd glasses.
I WAAAAAAAANNTT a sausage dog. They are so funnee looking
