Faye Wong: Decadence

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

Let's Play Stardolls!

A few readers were game enough to submit some of their creations after wasting precious moments of their lives at Stardoll. First up are Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi, dressed up courtesy of ewaffle, who specializes in observant and amusing fashion commentary at his blog Favorite Hong Kong Actresses. He's dressed Maggie (one of his "favorites") much as she might look in real life; while for Zhang Ziyi, he's imagined an outfit she might have worn if Zhang Yimou had made a Category III wuxia film — House of the Naked Killers, anyone?

Next on the runway are Faye Wong and Maggie, both dressed in a funky mix-and-match mode by sbk and dleedlee (respectively). sbk is an Asian movie fan and Holga mistress who loves to double expose at her blog Pictures, Thoughts and Comments. dleedlee is the unsung hero who trawls the World Wide Web for all the latest Chinese movie news and gossip, which he presents fresh daily on his blog Roast Pork Sliced from a Rusty Cleaver.

Finally, here's Bai Ling dressed by me. Although she is much maligned for her nip slips and funky outfits, I have a soft spot for kooky individualists like Miss Bai. I'm not exactly a fan (although I loved her in Dumplings), but I will always stand in her defense.

Anyway, many thanks to dleedlee, ewaffle, and sbk for sharing their outfits! If anyone else wants to join the fun, send me your looks and I'll post them next week.
