The Twins in the land of pandas and brocade

Gillian and Charlene were in Chendu recently and stopped long enough for some oddly lit photographs.

The Twins and the Empress Dowager

Charlene and Gillian went to Shanghai for the opening of a Vivienne Westwood store and were decked out in her fashion as a comment on fashion outfits complete with Frankenstein shoes and devil horns. Xinhau has the better story (from which the moniker "Empress Dowager for Vivienne is taken) while Sina has better pictures.

Presented to the Empress:

Question: "How do you walk in those things?" Answer: "Very carefully":

Gillian and Charlene open tour in Guangzhou

The Twins are hitting the road, beginning the Asia part of the tour in Guangzhou. Xinhau reports that Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Ekin Cheng, Hacken Lee, Hins Cheung, Wong Cho Lam and others sent their blessings. No word on Edison Chen's reaction.

Gillian missed her cartwheel--she wasn't injured and the world kept turning on its axis

Next after the Asian tour will be Canada so start saving your loonies

The Twins appear as brand ambassadors for bread n butter fashion line

bread n butter is variously described as a "French lifestyle fashion brand originated in Paris, owned by ZTAMPZ GROUP that provides fashionable items with a global distribution network" making it sound like a successful logistics company and also as a "a middle-high end contemporary ladies fashion brand established in France since 2002", a description that is both highly specific (time and place) and maddeningly vague (middle high end of what?). They are well established in China--16 stores in Hong Kong, many more in Mainland cities--and feature, among others, Sammi Cheng in their advertising.

Gillian Choi and Charlene Chung grabbed their heart shaped purses and blue feather stoles for a photo-op personal appearance at one of the stores, looking much too cute and perky for two women whose combined age is very close to sixty years.

Charlene may want to spend more time in the gym or skip the mini-skirts entirely.

All that is solid melts into air--except The Twins.

Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi had a press appearance in support of some project and were given an award. Gillian was weepy, Charlene was comforting and together they were as cute as a box full of puppies. Gillian Chung seems to have taken the heaviest career hit of all those involved in the Edison Chen scandal since she and Charlene had such a squeaky clean image.

The machine translated caption for this picture had "ten year message" in it although it doesn't say if that Charlene's message is about the last ten years or the next ten years. And it might be just a dodgy translation. If anyone would like to interpret, please do.

Getting an award from a very earnest looking presenter.
