For an event called the Asia Fashion Awards I didn’t see much interesting fashion. I think the attendees and performers that I saw looked fine but it wasn’t nearly as couture or inventive as some of the other events recently such as the Golden Horse Awards. The highlight was the attendance of Japanese top singer-actor Kimura Takuya, and reuniting with … Continue reading →
Taiwan’s biggest movie awards night was this weekend with the 54th annual Golden Horse Awards, feting the best of cinematic achievements in 2017. I haven’t watched a lick of Taiwan or Mainland awards worthy movies this year so I was watching solely for the fashion and it didn’t disappoint despite not having as many actresses walking the red carpet as … Continue reading →
The Chinese-speaking glitterati was out in full force this weekend at the 15th annual Bazaar China charity event held in Beijing, with many reasons to check out ranging from couple sighting to once again C-stars showing that they do high fashion right.

I’ll need some eagle-eyed readers to assist in determining what’s going on with Taiwanese musical superstar Jolin Tsai‘s look, one that is getting tons of netizen chatter over whether it’s just makeup, surgical changes, or a combo of both. Jolin has been on an Asia tour this summer and unveiled a new look with dramatic eye makeup and a black … Continue reading →

This year very few Asian stars attended as the theme went high tech fashion called “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology”. Top Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai went futuristic gown paired with retro bob and makeup while … Continue reading →
TW-superstar idol queen Jolin Tsai totally declared at the 2015 MAMA in Hong Kong that she still PWNS the Cpop music scene even after fifteen years and countless challengers. I’m thrilled for her, having come to appreciate her craft more recently rather than her early years trying to make her mark on idol-dom. After MAMA two weeks ago, she’s remained in Hong … Continue reading →
Every since Jolin Tsai released her beautiful ballad single and MV last December “We’re All Different, But the Same”, I’ve really started to see her in a new light. She’s been around for what feels like forever, and is undisputably Taiwan’s top female solo singer.

What an unexpected and lovely MV as the year winds down and people start reminiscing, maybe more willing to seek and give more warmth and affection. Taiwan’s top female pop star Jolin Tsai, basically the Hamasaki Ayumi of Mandopop for the last twelve years and going strong, released a new album this month and in her second single she once … Continue reading →
Given that this is just the subjective assessment of one major Taiwanese entertainment publication TVBS Magazine, it’s still pretty darn accurate in my estimation. The power rankings are out for the top Taiwanese entertainers of 2013 with ten selected from each gender.
