Casio Cassette Recorder

Thursday, December 31st, 2009


Here’s a little clip of me hosting on TV that my dear sis sent me. Forgive the dreadful quality (it was taken from her iphone!). I suppose I could have waited for the producers to send me the hi-res versions but being the queen of self-promotion, I just had to strike while the iron’s hot & post here for y’all!

This reminds me of when my sister and I were kids in suburbia & we were just starting to take an interest in music. Problem is we didn’t have money to buy albums, we had no cable TV, we weren’t old enough to get to the mall…our only chance to catch the newest Madonna song was to sit by the radio all night with our thumb poised over the record button on our Casio cassette recorder , should our song hit the airwaves! The quality was wretched and garbled, but it didn’t matter one bit to us. We were just thrilled to ‘own’ our copy! I stopped this practice after a girl in my 6th grade told me it was illegal and that she would tell on me.

Counting down to the New Year on-air!

This commercial I shot for Owl International earlier this year is finally on heavy rotation on USA Chinese Channels! I portray a diligent little worker bee. I love the close up hand shots; they look amazing, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!

I’ve notched yet another cover! I must admit, after all these years and other covers under my belt , I still get tickled pink when I score one.  I was very lucky that my very first gig ever was in fact a cover, so I can’t help but get a little misty eyed when I see myself grace another.  Up until I saw myself that first time on the newstand, I still perceived myself to be  that flat-chested nerd w/ braces….Well, things have changed! I lost the braces.

PS: Unbeknownst to me intially, I was in regal company with fellow model Carol (Miss Asia USA 2006 & Miss San Francisco 2007), Lisa M (Miss Asia USA 2007 & Miss Little Saigon 2008) & Ying (Ford Models).  They got to wear some lovely frocks by fashion designer Isidoro Tabarez. I would have worn one but they didn’t have my size, much to my dismay. Despite the holiday theme, it was 100 degrees that day & we were sweating bullets on the shoot and in the clothes.

Attached here are some bonus pix/outtakes from the shoot!
