Two portraits of a woman with short hair.

I recently noticed that TW-actresses Janine Chang and Annie Chen cut off their decades long hair recently for new acting roles and it totally changes their aura and visuals.

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 13, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2020
Four women in elegant fashion poses.

This red carpet for the just held 2020 Taipei Film Awards feels like a wash, I mostly hated the outfits but enjoyed actually seeing some because it’s pretty unexpected. Like, Joanne Tseng‘s lace pantsuit is on par with historical epic fails in every way from cut to fit to sheer fugliness. I don’t know why Ariel Lin decided to come … Continue reading →

Fashionable group posing at Fendi event.

There was a whole fashion mixing going on at the Fendi event this week in Taipei but I’m cool with it because everyone was just so on point in attitude and vibe. Tons of well known stars attended the Fendi 10 year anniversary event for the Peekaboo bag, the aughts answer to the Baguette bag from the 90’s. HK-superstar actress … Continue reading →

This weekend was the 2017 Golden Bell Awards celebrating the best of Taiwanese television programs for the last year.

Young woman holding an umbrella, fierce expression.

Taiwan doesn’t make period dramas anymore, not since China started churning them out twenty years ago with bigger budgets and the resources for vast location shoots. Many Taiwanese actors and actresses have since done period C-dramas but a few haven’t worked that extensively in the mainland so still hasn’t tried out the flowing robes for size.

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 1, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 1, 2014
