I'm still pretty high from Chinese New Year. The prolonged break from the frustrations of ladypose moil, combined with the fact that I'm reading The Travels of Marco Polo, a mostly-true catalog of Marky Marc's impressions of unfamiliar provinces, has my soul incandescing daily with delight at the myriad subtle ways in which the Chinese mode of ( Read more... )

TONS OF FOOD. I was thinking that one serving would be enough for three models and told my colleagues that we should go back together and all split one, because imagine what a bargain THAT would be, but they don't like spicy food and they don't like Chinese food and is it, like, dirty and blah blah blah FUCK Y'ALL.
