The very model of a modern major

Alright. So normally the very mention of Louis Vuitton would send me back to the bar for a better conversation, but...

It seems the company has put together three audio guides for those visiting Beijing, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. What penetrating insights can Vuitton offer that a tattered copy of Lonely Plant can't? I don't know, but here's the thing: the guides are narrated by local actresses Gong Li (Beijing), Joan Chen (Shanghai), and Shu Qi (Hong Kong), respectively. In English. Which is sort of nifty.

At any rate, here's a link to the rather pretentious website they've created to hawk said products. (Available for download in MP3 format.)

I'm a big Gong Li fan, so the opportunity to pass on anything Ju Dou related more than makes up for the ridicule that will no doubt follow this post.

I didn't know Gong Li had any big fans.

I did Joan Chen though. Whatever happened to her any way?

I think Uncle Coop is definitely Raising the Red Lantern on this one.

Looked again, got the picture moving, she walks along the street and after a minute or so, you see her seated with headphones, she closes her hand - picture goes blank. But the bit I did see - it was nice.
