Glossy magazines and their swimsuit supplementsPosted by Banyue on Friday, August 3, 2007 at 3:45 PM
This is a monthly roundup of a number of popular glossy magazines in the Chinese market. 
 Esquire and its swimsuit supplement, August 2007 A 60-page swimsuit issue comes as a supplement. The girls inside are not professional models; their email addresses are included alongside their photos if you want to get in touch with them for any reason. 
 Trends Health and its swimsuit supplement, August 2007 This month's issue also features actor Tong Dawei. 
 Cosmopolitan and Vogue, August 2007 This issue has movie star Gong Li on the cover. Other top stories include a list of crazy faddish people, an interview with Sex and the City screenwriter Liz Tuccilo, and five women's pilgrim travel journal. Leading fashion magazine Vogue (服饰与美容) gets a jump on the next fashion season with "light autumn and winter" as the coverline. 
 Ray Li and FHM, August 2007 FHM (男人装) claims that August 3rd is Men's Day (reversing March 8th, Women's Day). The four men on the cover are musician Zhang Yadong, actor Deng Chao, supermodel Zhang Xinzhe (who shares a name with the popular singer from Taiwan), and former CCTV host Huang Jianxiang. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
