Christmas comes early in Kunming: A Teresa Mak Ga-Kei sighting!

Whatever the occasion--the googlespeak translation of the Ifeng captions mentioned fur, plastic surgery and the 12th anniversary of something--it was a red letter day here at Favorite Hong Kong Actresses when Teresa Mak decided to show up somewhere accompanied by police officers and photographers.

Michelle Reis in "Madame Figaro"

"Madame Figaro" China continues the international fashion magazine practice of photographing a beautiful woman in uninspired, time worn poses, wearing whatever the big advertisers sent over for the photoshoot and then smoothing the result in Photoshop so that all texture and detail is lost leaving what looks like a mannequin of Michelle Reis. She shouldn't feel bad since that is pretty much what fashion editors all over the world have been doing. Even with her skin plasticized Michelle Reis remains drop dead gorgeous.

Speaking of hot mommas--Kelly Chen for children's brand

Kelly Chen is outrageously beautiful, never more so than in these quick offhand poses with a goofy mascot for the "green moth Prince" a brand she is repping. She announced she is three months pregnant and was wearing an intriguing maternity dress that looked like a shower curtain with an Empire waist. A few hundred years ago men would fight duels over someone as gorgeous as Kelly Chen--or in hyper-romantic late 18th and early 19th century Germany, shoot themselves.

Carina Lau for Swarovski...Note to Xinhau editors: Slang in a language not your own can be tricky

The Swarovski people are pushing jewelry made with their crystals and signed Carina Lau to pick up a few baubles and look good while doing so. The headline is unfortunate, at least as rendered by Google translation: Carina Lau MILFs seductive debut self-examination is not to celebrate birthday. The characters in question seem to translate as "middle-aged but still attractive woman/lady of a certain age" and "seductive"; MILF may not have been the term they were looking for or may not mean what they think it does.
