This week Tencent held its own 2023 Tencent Video All Star Awards to celebrate the actors and actresses who did a Tencent project this year. It’s like the network drama years in South Korea so all attendees are there basically known he/she will get an award. And there were a lot of awards with very creative names so recipients could … Continue reading →
If the C-actresses are dressing way better than their K-counterparts on the red carpet, more diverse and experimental, they are also looking better makeup wise with rarely any overly BB-creamed face. K-actresses are so foundationally shellacked it detracts from the rest of the makeup technique but on the C-ent side there is apparently one top Chinese makeup artist by the … Continue reading →
It’s been some time since I saw so much glitz and glamour and this time it’s courtesy of C-ent which held the 2020 Weibo Night Awards despite it already being 2021. Better late than never and the ceremony feted popular C-stars in various categories that I’m less curious about than checking out the fasion. Yellow, bright canary yellow, as the … Continue reading →
The Golden Eagle Awards are held every 2 years and the Golden Eagle Goddess selected also every 2 years. It’s basically a sign that C-ent thinks you’re the Current Drama It Girl. This year 2020 has selected Victoria Song as the Golden Eagle Goddess and she follows in the footsteps (reverse order) of: Dilraba Dilmurat (2018), Tang Yan (2016), Zhao … Continue reading →
The 2020 Weibo Awards, celebrating the 2019 year so perhaps the 2019 Weibo Awards would be more apt but it’s held this weekend in January 2020 so imma stick with this year, brought together China’s most popular stars and the platform where they get to curate and expand their popularity. The fashion looks remains my sole interest and it was … Continue reading →
I’m waiting for the Big Three K-drama year end awards show but over in C-ent this week the stars were out in force at the Star Awards. The usual three big name actresses Yang Mi, Zhao Li Ying, and Dilraba Dilmurat shared the stage together in a rare occurrence, and the three also went with very similar hued but different … Continue reading →
I don’t know if I’m disappointed because this is what was expected. With the Hong Kong democracy protests well into two months with no signs of stopping, all signs point to Mainland China escalating it’s countermeasures to curtail and end the movement. Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese stars who are working in K-ent as K-pop idols this week all collectively … Continue reading →
Another year another Harper’s Bazaar star-studded fashion charity gala awards in C-ent, this time a tad more subdued perhaps with the recent months entertainer tax evasion muck still permeating. My favorite two ball gowns were Jelly Lin and Yang Mi, both coincidentally wearing Reem Acra. Jing Tian in Dior and Victoria Song in Chanel were big misses, and the most … Continue reading →
There is so much fashion eye candy out and about at the Vogue Film Fashion Exhibit in China this weekend, with top Chinese and Taiwanese stars making their chic presence felt. I don’t think everyone looks good, necessarily, but everyone looks interesting. My favorite look is definitely Yang Mi with a chic and playful one side off the shoulder short … Continue reading →
It was a collision of popular and famous East Asian actresses at this week’s Paris fashion shows and not everyone made it out sartorially unscathed. But then the models parading down the runways in the latest couture are usually way weirder this is as good an occasion to go for fashion broke if ones wants to try something different. It … 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. Married Taiwanese acting couple Ruby Lin and Wallace Huo stole the spotlight by making their first public appearance … Continue reading →
The long lag time between the publishing of fantasy C-novel Once Promised by writer Tong Hua in 2011 to when the drama adaptation A Lifetime Love is hitting the small screens has lowered excitement but also expectations. I’m not peeved that the final cast of Huang Xiaoming and Victoria Song may not have been my choice, I care more that they … Continue reading →
The romance novel Once Promised is a fantastic read for those who hate love triangles and love OTP consistency, but terribly traumatic for those who need happy endings. The C-drama adaption A Life Time Love (Ancient Love Song) uses the story but changes all the names to avoid upsetting Chinese censors as the original tale was about historical fantasy deities … Continue reading →
