The fallout from the battle of the boobs being waged by sex kittens Shushu (舒舒) and Yaoyao (瑤瑤), real name Kuo Shu-yao (郭書瑤), continues this week with Next Magazine (壹周刊) entering into extended speculation about how Shushu, real name Tseng
Ya-ling (曾雅鈴), obtained her 32E bazookas.
The National Communications Commission (NCC) had voiced its disapproval when the pair gave a comprehensive rundown of their cha-chas on national television.
Seeing as young men across the country seem to have achieved unrivalled levels of excitement from watching Shushu get to grips with a pneumatic drill while wearing a sexy workman’s outfit and low-slung tank top in an ad for the Internet role-playing game Prophecy Online (預言Online), Next’s line of inquiry appears immaterial.
Whether Shushu’s turn in the advertisement is more or less sexually suggestive than rival Yaoyao’s now infamous ad for Kill Online (殺Online) — in which her breasts are shown swaying as she straddles an undulating exercise machine — is open to question, but both have been pulled from public broadcast for the present. Shushu’s ad has been taken down from buses.
Fortunately, for those bent, in the spirit of objective research, on determining the relative merits of Shushu and Yaoyao’s ads for themselves, they are still available on YouTube.
Yaoyao’s agent has accused Shushu of being a cheap knockoff of the original jug jiggler, but Next magazine helpfully quotes Shushu’s agent rebuffing allegations of breast enhancement.
“I’ve felt her tits, and they’re soft, not hard,” the unnamed agent is quoted as saying.
The maelstrom of publicity has seen Shushu lose a contract to open the season for the Uni-President Lions. Yaoyao opened the season for the La New Bears on March 29.
Yaoyao has responded to the brouhaha by saying that she will now keep her woofers under wraps and work on cultivating a cute and vivacious image.
This does not, however, preclude the publication of a photo album later this year in which Yaoyao dons nurse and sailor costumes.
“As to how much cleavage will be shown, we’ll keep that to a minimum,” her agent is quoted as saying. “You can’t really specify the number of inches of cleavage shown in the contract.”
Staying with the theme of exhibitionists, a new face is likely to capture major paparazzi attention if the reported relationship between porn star Maria Ozawa and local actor Bryant Chang (張睿家) takes off.
Ozawa, who visited Taiwan to attend Spring Scream last weekend, has a role in Invitation Only (絕命派對), billed as Taiwan’s first slasher horror film.
Chang has a starring role in the film, which is scheduled for release on April 17.
The star of such hardcore fare as Shemale Orgy Gangbang Rape and Enema Clyster Large Jet Best Collection for Japan’s DAS porn production house, Ozawa’s visit was much anticipated, and according to Next, super-stud Ethan Ruan (阮經天) had publicly expressed an interest in meeting her.
The magazine quoted Ruan as stating that he hoped his girlfriend would not be jealous, but there were things Ozawa could do that his girlfriend couldn’t.
Ruan reportedly got a slap on the wrist from his handlers at SetTV (三立) for making inappropriate comments and any meeting between the two was nixed.
In response to the publication of photos showing Chang and Ozawa getting up close and personal, the porn star would not commit herself beyond saying that Chang was a nice boy who was very considerate.
In the next few months tough decisions will need to be made by the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) and their pan-blue allies in the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). It will reveal just how real their alliance is with actual power at stake. Party founder Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) faced these tough questions, which we explored in part one of this series, “Ko Wen-je, the KMT’s prickly ally,” (Aug. 16, page 12). Ko was open to cooperation, but on his terms. He openly fretted about being “swallowed up” by the KMT, and was keenly aware of the experience of the People’s First Party
Aug. 25 to Aug. 31 Although Mr. Lin (林) had been married to his Japanese wife for a decade, their union was never legally recognized — and even their daughter was officially deemed illegitimate. During the first half of Japanese rule in Taiwan, only marriages between Japanese men and Taiwanese women were valid, unless the Taiwanese husband formally joined a Japanese household. In 1920, Lin took his frustrations directly to the Ministry of Home Affairs: “Since Japan took possession of Taiwan, we have obeyed the government’s directives and committed ourselves to breaking old Qing-era customs. Yet ... our marriages remain unrecognized,
During the Metal Ages, prior to the arrival of the Dutch and Chinese, a great shift took place in indigenous material culture. Glass and agate beads, introduced after 400BC, completely replaced Taiwanese nephrite (jade) as the ornamental materials of choice, anthropologist Liu Jiun-Yu (劉俊昱) of the University of Washington wrote in a 2023 article. He added of the island’s modern indigenous peoples: “They are the descendants of prehistoric Formosans but have no nephrite-using cultures.” Moderns squint at that dynamic era of trade and cultural change through the mutually supporting lenses of later settler-colonialism and imperial power, which treated the indigenous as
Standing on top of a small mountain, Kim Seung-ho gazes out over an expanse of paddy fields glowing in their autumn gold, the ripening grains swaying gently in the wind. In the distance, North Korea stretches beyond the horizon. “It’s so peaceful,” says the director of the DMZ Ecology Research Institute. “Over there, it used to be an artillery range, but since they stopped firing, the nature has become so beautiful.” The land before him is the demilitarized zone, or DMZ, a strip of land that runs across the Korean peninsula, dividing North and South Korea roughly along the 38th parallel north.
