IT’S ALL CUTE, WET AND GREEN IN BANGKOK
A kiss is just a kiss
One of J-rock’s most popular bands, X Japan, recently hosted the launch of its official web site. On the microphone was Thailand’s supermodel Sonia Cooling, who stole a kiss from J-rock’s godfather, Yoshiki Hayachi. From the look on Hayachi’s face, Sonia’s husband, businessman and socialite Dominic Vajrasindhu, shouldn’t have anything to worry about.
Money raining from the sky
So what if companies are going bankrupt and we are in a global meltdown? Kriengsak Tantiphipop, the big boss of uber shopping complex Emporium, last week showed everyone that the greenback is still in demand. The Emporium Asset and Wealth Management Expo 2008 started with a balloon flying up into the air. Then a big “Bang!” The balloon exploded and US $1 notes came raining down, real ones. Chaos ensued.
The definition of ‘gig-goo’
Thailand is never short of successful girl bands who capture the hearts of the Kingdom by singing adequately enough and behaving like they are 11. Freud would have a field day with this infatuation of ours.
The girl duo Neko Jump, Neui and Jam, recently launched their latest album, Lady Ready, packed with J-pop style songs. On a side note, there’s a popular Thai slang expression, “gig-goo”, with neither negative nor positive connotation, used to describe a person who behaves so adorably innocent that he or she teeters on the edge between cuteness and mental retardation.
