Pop Star

Traffic around Taipei's Breeze Center stopped last weekend when a little blue truck with advertisement billboards mounted on its sides featuring supermodel Hsiao Chiang's (蕭薔) horribly defaced mug parked outside the shopping center. An unknown whipper-snapper painted crossed eyes, gray hair, zits, creeping nose hair, a five-o'clock shadow and a couple moles with scraggly hairs onto Hsiao's normally flawless face, causing mayhem as passersby scrambled to get their pictures taken in front of the billboard.
