Still no sex, they’re Singaporean

Still no sex, they’re Singaporean:
Before going to the three-day Sexpo, which opened on Nov 18, I had thought allowing it to happen was such a great idea that I wanted to send a bottle of champagne to Singapore’s Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong.

The Sexpo, however, lived up – down? – to the island republic’s reputation for giving off those “No sex, please, we’re Singaporean” vibes.

Donald Trump – Clothier Extraordinaire

Donald … ummm … Trump is the leading designer? Do I need to burn my Armani to fit in now??

YOU probably didn’t notice, what with all the excitement about the return of “Project Runway,” the release of a survey by a marketing company last week noting that Donald J. Trump had beat out Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan as one of the most trusted fashion names in America. That’s right: Donald Trump, the real estate mogul, television star, hair aesthete and confessed “germ freak.” Even the editors of Women’s Wear Daily seemed to be in a state of disbelief, since their report of the news was buried on the inside.

Donald Trump ranks high with consumers.
It couldn’t be true. Mr. Armani has worked his fingers to the bone to be a world-renowned designer; spent a fortune advancing the idea too. And what about Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and those boys – what are their names? – Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana? They don’t even make the list. Shut out of America. Ignored. Trumped. It’s true.

Zheng He

Zheng He-1 He was a brilliant Chinese General who discovered America well before Columbus. Only the changing tides of Chinese government put a stop to his exploration. If they would have only supported him the Chinese would have had an America! … and I could have spoken Chinese! I am so irritated that I was deprived of speaking Chinese natively (or, at this moment, not at all). I guess it's not *so* bad to be limited to English and a tiny bit of French and German, but, to quote Monty Python "There's a hundred billion of them in the world today so you better learn to like them that's what I say" … I want to know Chinese!
