Although relatively unknown outside of Asia, with the Jackie Chan vehicle Around the World in 80 Days as one of her Hollywood credits, Karen Mok is a superstar. One can’t walk down the street without seeing her image splashed on various billboards for watches, cameras, and other lifestyle products. I’m still waiting for the day that there will be a Karen Mok approved toilet tissue. With Mr. Whipple gone, r.i.p., that day has just come one step closer; remember, don’t squeeze the Charmin.
The singer, actress and savior of China’s Moon Bears, all titles worthy of a business card, has a new credit to her name. Good Housekeeping, yes the one and the same, has voted Mok as China’s “Most Feminine Star”. Looks like she better order a new set of cards. While it is true that she’s a great entertainer, what does “most feminine star” mean? When I look at television, music and movies, I don’t exactly see an army of Serena and Venus Williams clones. So, if you’re like me, wondering just what it takes to be most feminine, according to China Radio International, Mok is “known for her supermodel figure, especially her long legs.” So that’s all? I think I hear the rumble to the plastic surgeon’s office growing louder.
