Xiaxue says that Singapore is running out of good-looking women, which explains why she keeps seeing the same Singapore models in magazines and ads. (warning: er, strong language)
Like Rebecca Tan, Denise Keller, Jaymee Ong, Fann Wong, Zoe Tay, Fiona Xie, and Belinda Lee. And others like Rebecca Tan, Denise Keller, Jaymee Ong, Fann Wong, Zoe Tay, Fiona Xie, and Belinda Lee.
Hmm, she does have a point.
Now that she mentions it, there really seems to be quite a lot of repeat appearances. Her review of Rebecca Tan and Jaymee Ong's magazine covers was particularly entertaining (complete with images).
And speaking of images, that one of Jaymee in her NewMan cover (warning:may be NSFW)... yeah, I can understand how seeing her too often in magazines can be a real drag.
My interest is, of course, purely academic.
Excerpt:
BUT WHY??? Why are there not enough models in Singapore? Is everyone too smart and educated to take a job which under-utilises their brains nowadays?
Come to think of it, if I spent 10 years of my life studying, why would I wanna be a model? Ah, to get shagged by rich guys driving Zondas of course, then siphon their money dry and then go f**k another rich guy who lives in Queen Astrid Park or 6th Ave.
Model 1: My bf drive Lamborghini leh!
Model 2: My f**k buddy drive Bentley ok!
Model 3: My n*n* is so big that my godfather drive the Singapore Duck Tour Boat around town just because he can afford it. *smirks*
Model 1, 2: ... But the boat can drive one meh?
Model 3: I don't know leh, I think we sort of bounce about. Oh, it messes up my hair. =*(
The comments section was also a good read. Some of these readers posted essays, man. Like, why Eurasian models are used more often. And a few readers also spotted the irony of her statement, "Big minds discuss ideas. Mediocre minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."
I say, whatever. It was still a great read and funny as heck. And you know me, funny is money.
(Although I would suggest that Xiaxue does something about the filesize of her images. Wah lau eh, 105Kb for just that Jaymee one alone...)
