Blogging hotties live the high life

Sometimes you just need a dose of crazy-assed antics, you know,  some amusement and distraction from the everyday world. You want to forget about the Red Shirts vs Yellow Shirts, the shrinking U.S. dollar and mutual funds, the Thaksin roadshow antics, the plight of Burmese refugees, and the farang-Thai stories. That usually means the subject matter is about everyday stuff,  like checking out a new bar or restaurant, or going to a chi-chi party or making risotto with Asian twist or make a perfect hair bun in 1 minute  or  visiting Disney World in Hong Kong.

I find quite a bit of this material on blogs from young people in Singapore and Malaysia. There may be more. Lots more. A recent post by the extremely popular Xiaxue, a Singapore hottie, led me to many more English-language blogs by Southeast Asian young people.  It also gave me a colourful tour of Disney’s Hong Kong establishment. I’ll tell you right now that I don’t give a rat’s ass about things Disney. But Xiaxue’s report and pictures of fellow bloggers getting the five-star treatment was a hoot. (Image above, from xiaxue.blogspot.com, of Princess Aud, Redmummy, Xiaxue (Wendy) and Cheesie)

Need I tell you the report is full of pictures of  pretty blogging girls? Asian hotties? I do like ethnic Chinese girls’ looks and there’s much to like in this report as well as the reports by the other blogging hotties. And there’s food. Do Asian girls like food? Do humans breathe?  If the posts aren’t full of young Asian women having fun, they’re full of amazing, mouth-watering, beautifully prepared and presented food. I’d recommend these blogs if your only interest is Asian cuisine.

Then again, how does a girl survive if she doesn't know how to make a hair bun. You'll get that too in these blogs. Visit cheeserland.com and you'll see Cheesie (you won't mind her screen name too much  after you get a look at the hottie herself) shows how to do it [Update: dropped 1-min version for longer one. More is better, isn't it? ]. Watch a new, longer YouTube video:

Xiaxue, a.k.a. Wendy,  is a multi-award winning Asian blogger. It's interesting that her rants and antics are rather atypically Asian. Which is maybe why she's so popular. She doesn’t hold back when something bothers her such as a whinging reader or poor restaurant service or something done in bad taste. I like that. And so do her readers, it appears. Her site registers some 20,000 pageviews a day! I’ve seen as many as 200 comments on a post.

Note that Xiaxue’s blog takes quite a while to load, because of the heavy image load. It took maybe 2 minutes on my 10 megabit service to fully acquire the page.  I will also warn you that her language is colourful. This is not for office computers not because of the pictures, although your buddies might not leave your work station if they get a eyeful of the Asian pretties, but of the oversized displays of the f-word. Many of these Asian girl bloggers  use the f-word. Liberally. Speaking of language . . . the blogs are a mix of English and Singlish, as well as being peppered with (what I think is) Malaysian and Chinese expressions, but  transliterated into English. One blog in particular, Redmummy.com, is full of multi-language expressions. Couldn’t fathom too much of it, I have to admit. But then, it’s not aimed at a Canadian dude the other side of the planet.

Rick that is one hell of a line up of hot tottie. I checked out a couple of the blogs and the swearing is very prominent, still if it works it works.

Reading about the free stuff they all receive including the amazing paid trip to Hong Kong really took me. We are definitely the wrong sex and writing about the wrong country.

You should receive quite a few google images search hits with the top photo, best of luck with that one. Nice post.

There is always the possibility we can start new blogs and pretend to be young hot Asian women...

Talen,

They have it sooo made! As you're no doubt finding out right now. But for others who haven't read Xiaxue's blog yet . . . All the bloggers were flown and limo'd to HK from wherever they lived in SEA. Free. They stayed in what appears to be a five-star (Disney) hotel and, well, look at the pictures of the rooms, the food, the souvenir clothes. They were S-P-O-I-L-E-D! It looks like everything was FREE. I haven't read every Xiaxue post but I think she is wined, dined, clothed and transported weekly without a single Singapore dollar leaving her designer purse.

Oh to be young again. And handsome. And Asian. What do we get? What's that? Exactly. 0.

I read a lot of South East Asian bloggers too...mostly from Singapore and the Philippines...lots of great stuff.

As bloggers they have it made there seems to be events held weekly by everyone from Nokia and Sony to major clothing brands and destinations. It amazes me how much free stuff they get as well as access to products and things before they hit the market. We don't seem to get anything lol.

Off to check out your hotties roundup of blogs and the new Disney.
