鳳飛飛
It was announced yesterday that she passed way in January. May she rest in peace. She was one of the first Chinese singers to whom I was introduced (through TV) when I was a child.

Your face is an illusion
There are some comments about Katy Perry's "natural face" over at Traditional Christianity. I like how some have described the removal of makeup for certain women as "removing their face" as the difference is so stark. I was thus reminded how much Asian women rely upon makeup. In an episode of a Taiwanese show (Queen, with 藍心湄), a makeup artist was demonstrating how to create the illusion of a bigger eye through the application of makeup and colors. Walking through Kinokuniya the other day I was looking at the women's fashion magazines, searching for the ones that discuss makeup techniques as they usually include before and after photos. It's enough to make one swear off looking at women, lest one be beguiled by feminine deception. At the very least one can attempt to withhold making a judgment about beauty until one has seen the natural face? Yeah, good luck.
