From Bruce Sterling:
"Holy macaroni. Why is the official news agency of the People's Republic of China posting a whole bunch of nude body-painting? Have they lost all their little gray Mao suits over at Xinhua? What gives? A couple of these pics are Veruschka Lehndorff art-shots from the mid-1980s. Some official Chinese web-guy has been collecting these things. What could this be about?"
Gee, I don't know. The site is here. Delightful stuff. Isn't that a christmas ornament there? Or chocolate and strawberries?

Explore the sire it's worth it AND there are more amazing pictures too.

Hahah, yes, you're right, I didn't check out the rest of the site. Actually rather interesting news and features, from a different angle than most of us normally read.

Don't get your panties in a Singapore sling Jumadi. I've always spoken my mind and don't intend to change that for some anonymous guy in Singapore. Sorry about your mom.
