[Yahoo News] I love juicy Lucy (Weekend Standard)

[yw_news]

Beauty, as we all know, is in the eye of the beholder and - as far as Chinese and Western standards are concerned - Asian-American actress Lucy Liu is a good case in point.

How many 'news articles' about having an Asian girlfriend need to be written by white guys? Since when are these serious journalistic endeavours?

Imagine how it would be if positions were reversed...maybe in Bizarro world or something...


"Wait a minute,'' I said. "Basically you're talking about Paul Giamatti types, right?''

"Exactly! He's sooo frickin' ugly! I hate him. I can't believe how famous he's become after that Sideways bullshit.''

"I kind of like his paunchy face and beard,'' I mused. "Most Asians think paunchy faces and beards are cute.''

My White American boyfriend's clean-shaven, square-jawed, cleft-chinned face was aghast. Then he mentioned the googley, pseudo-bloodshot eyes.

"Also cute. Endearing almost,'' I rhapsodized, before adding hastily "but you're much more so, of course.''

By this time we were on the 9 Train heading back to our $3,250 a month 72nd St. on the West Side 1-bedroom apartment. The debate raged on as fellow passengers virtually ignored - mostly sat in indifference, really - in the face of the trendy mixed-race couple who were obviously bored to death with each other in the pitiful search for something meaningful in the mainstream to talk about.
