Another very good video magazine from SexyBeijing is the Hard Hat show. Here, Beijing based English film maker, Nick Bonner talks about his films about North Korea.
Sexy Beijing is a videoblog, written and presented by a New Yorker (I assume), living in China, Anna Sophie Loewenberg. Its great, everything that video blogging should be, short, smart and funny. Collect them all.
A galaxy of Chinese stars (almost none of whom are recognizable in the West) sporting Zoolander haircuts and wearing the type of clothes that children’s TV presenters wear (hip, but very clean, and not too hip that you’ll scare the kids) sing an anthemic, fist in the air, Chinese pop song of the universal “We are the World” genre.
This is a fascinating glimpse of what an emerging, mainstream Chinese TV culture might look like, and you get to see all the cool new buildings that Beijing has built for the Olympics (the stadium, swimming stadium, national theater, Beijing museum and airport etc.) The lyrics to the song go something like this:
“When you see our Olympics on TV in America, you will shit your pa-ants. We take your capitalism, sell you plastic toy and build ourselves a free-eeway. There are a billion of us, we are very indu-ustrious, you can never wi-in. Repeat 78 times: There are a billion of us, you can never wi-in.”

From a Vegas that no longer exists, this is the real Ocean’s Eleven. Or more accurately, this is the authentic but worn Ocean’s Eleven, made in 1977, the celebrity roast was the last gasp of the Dean Martin show, as the Rat Pack lifestyle excess begins to take its toll. Nevertheless, its an iconic piece of American television. An unbelievable array of celebs attend and a smoking Dean Martin hosts - as in actually smoking.

If you are like me and think that all current women’s fashion design looks like it was designed for heavily pregnant women by toothless fortune-tellers from Bucharest, then Moritz Waldemeyer’s forays into fashion for the likes of Hussein Chalayan, are a breath of modern, fresh air.
