擠!/squeeze!

Modelo: Mr Hao Yunxiang/郝允祥

Our favouritest Modelo is currently on a location shoot in Langkawi Island, Malaysia, having just wrapped up his first Season at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2012, NYC. Go Boy.

重混/remixes

Modelos: Messrs

Pics 1-8. Henry/亨利

30; Beijing-based music label PR exec; and a perfect emBODiment of what we call in Chinese, '天使臉孔, 魔鬼身材'.

Which, translated, means: 'Angelic Face, Devilish Bod.' Phwoar Phwoar.

19. Koh Masaki/真崎 航

26. Mr Koh again [left] & fellow performers

29. Aki Komatsu/小松 吾芸 & his hmm bodily secretion...

Currently feeling: 'Feeling Me' [Remix], an upbeat and beats-centric duet between Ms Abella Leung/梁佑嘉 & Mr Alan Kuo/柯有倫.

The way they're mixing languages/dialect in this song is exactly the way Thinkcount and his friends speak: a feisty mishmash of English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

We really haven't a clue what it means to be MONO-lingual. So totally 不可想像， 係啊。。。

飛去/flown

Taiwanese pop legend, Ms 鳳飛飛/Fong Fei-fei [1953-2012] passed away last month. The cause of death was lung cancer.

Ms Fong was a contemporary of the late Ms Teresa Teng, and was only just about second in terms of popularity.

So, in a sense, Ms Fong's demise formally wrapped up a brilliant chapter of Chinese pop history, a chapter prior to lyn-synching, auto-tuning, and 'free' mp3 downloading. It's an era where songstresses sang 'live' while performing, were dignified in appearance, on and off stage, and kept their own counsel, instead of baring it all, to the media/paparazzi and on their own Weibos.

R.I.P. Ms Fong: you'll be missed.

Here's Ms Fong singing 《三部情歌》/'A Three-part Love Song', a favourite tune of Thinkcount's favouritest uncle, who's a BIG fan of Ms Fong's. He'd always play this cassette tape in his car while ferrying us kids around to all sorts of fun places.

Unfortunately our uncle is now subsisting in a state of semi-consciousness, after having suffered a stroke about half a year ago. Time is brutal...

一代歌姬的告別/a Diva bows out

Here's the very moving performance by the late Ms Whitney Houston [1963-2012] at the 2009 American Music Awards.

Good Night and Rest in Peace, dear troubled Angel.

開工吉利/off we go!

Our beloved Mainland modelo Mr Hao Yunxiang/郝允祥 aka HaoHao wurking it at the Todd Snyder Men Fall 2012 presentation on the first day [yesterday, Thursday 9 Feb] of the New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

We must confess: we have never heard of this label before; and we have a rather similar looking Paul Smith sweater, but from about 10/15 seasons ago. But none of that matters, as long as HaoHao is getting Breaks at the Big Apple. YaY.
