Why are fashion bloggers really just people who post their daily outfits a la Street Snaps?
They don’t blog about fashion, just visuals of their own personal styles.
The brief story that accompanies this photo needs no embellishment. When a human confidently mixes West Asian* and Italian culture, the resulting style will knock you on the ground.
Devin Fitzgerald says:
“I took this photo a few years ago in Litang, Sichuan. Not only was this monk the coolest person I have ever seen, but he also spoke Italian. He said that he worked in a Buddhist center in Milan. I hope he counts as Chinese. ”
Sigh. Devin, can you hear the sound of 1,000 hearts breaking as your dreamy monk bounces around the Internet?
*****Correction: This guy is Tibetan, not Chinese. My mistake. Litang is displayed as a part of China on Google maps; however, “Litang is actually part of Greater Tibet. It used to be called Kham before the Chinese occupied Tibet.” Thanks for the information, Johnathan. I guess he only counts as Chinese if you’re being a careless butthole like I was.

The dress is too die for.
Please meet the original accidental Chinese (actually, Taiwanese, I know this distinction is important) hipsters. I saw this unforgettable couple a year ago while on vacation and part of me has probably not been able to stop thinking about unselfconscious, out-of-context Chinese fashion ever since. The best thing: they are at a bank! Running errands and being bored! That lady was not even smiling while she was doing the most whimsical ATM transaction of all time.

PS. Hi, nice to meet you.
Well, the blog I started to entertain ten of my friends has found more than a few additional like-minded persons thanks to very kind mentions on Thrillist and Angry Asian Man. I’m so excited! The photo submissions, commiserations from other first generation halfies, and notes of support from a variety of fans of Chinese style have filled my week with joy. I want to invite you all to a diasporic picnic party in Sarah Roosevelt Park where we eat dumplings too sloppily and hock loogies with old men. Someday soon.
But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen -Conan O’Brien.
Note: Being kind excludes all types of back-stabbing, back-bitching and selfish actions ;)
