Being a sort of newbie Manhattanite (I’m a Boston gal –sorry Yankee fans!) I’ve become terribly obsessed with the Bravo television show Housewives of NYC. As much as I wouldn’t want to be any of them, except maybe one, I’m drawn to their lifestyle and curious about their social life. I tune in every Tuesday to see what parties they have attended, what they are wearing, who’s fighting with whom and who’s dating who.
Several months ago, a palm reader once warned me that I was going to lose a large sum of money in the near future. I scoffed at this but I canceled a hair-removing consultation that could subsequently result in my spending hundreds of dollars. Little did I know that I still couldn’t escape fate.
You most likely have seen Kevin Stea as the sole Asian face as one of Madonna’s backup dancers on the Blond Ambition tour. Kevin is also a choreographer, actor and model.

I have returned home from my amazing experience in Japan and I have been back at school since the winter semester. When you leave and then return back to something familiar, you develop a different perspective. I know, I did. I became more critical about the university. After having spent nearly a year working, the university seems... questionable.
The Wonder Girls are a South Korean pop group comprised of 5 girl members who are produced and managed by JYP Entertainment and looking to break into the American market…What Asian superstar isn’t?
The band has been a hit in Asia for over 2 years having performed all over Asia and teaming up with other members of the JYP Family. The five girls, Yubin, Ye Eun, Sunye, Sun Mi and Sohee not only sing but they starred in their own reality show The Wonder Life which MTV aired, have their own makeup line and Yubin even raps!
Benson Lee is a Korean American director well known for the popular documentary Planet B-Boy which captures various break dancers around the world in an emotional and cultural journey behind the dancing. I actually spotted it on Netflix “Browse Instantly” a little bit before the interview and was very excited! It is definitely worth renting and increases in popularity every day!
As a skincare product junkie, I was never as obsessed with fragrances as I was with product texture, performance and packaging. However, I noticed with the launch of JUARA, my own line of products, that people’s first reaction to my products was completely scent oriented.
Last month, when I last wrote, the outlook was rather pessimistic. The Dow had closed at a new multi-year low of 6,763.29. With little word from Washington, it was hard to know where things were headed. The bears had control of the market, and I argued that unless the Obama administration came out with action that addressed the banking problems, we would head steadily downward.
Krystal Virulchanya, a.k.a. Krystal Vee, may not be a familiar name in mainstream American entertainment yet, but she has already made her mark by playing Lucy in the recently released film, “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li,” which also stars Kristin Kreuk, Chris Klein and Neal McDonough. Born in Bangkok, Thailand, Krystal has led a very “culturally dynamic” life. As a teenager, she divided a lot of her time between Russia and Thailand, due to her father’s career as a Thai military general, and has traveled frequently, working as a model.
I was first introduced to Michelle Cho, while running on a treadmill at my gym. She was 10 feet in front of me on a television screen, and although I could not hear anything she was saying, I could see the footage of animals being killed for their fur. The images were beyond imaginable and although I knew about the process for retrieving fur, actually seeing it was beyond comprehension.
Attempt #2
If there is any take home lesson from my first self conscious attempt at sitting solo at a bar, it would have to be this: you can do everything the magazines say (put on your favorite pair of jeans and a killer new top, go to a familiar bar, order your favorite drink), but if you don’t prepare yourself inside as well as out, you’re going to feel as awkward and uncool as you did as a pubescent. With that in mind, in the days immediately after I slunk out of that first dive bar in shame, I concocted a new strategy.
Kimora Lee was one of the first real identifiable Asian beauties in fashion. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and known as the "Chinky Giraffe", Kimora's good looks and good fortune brought her into the world of modeling. At 13, Kimora was awarded an exclusive modeling contract with Chanel.
