The blog of a semi-virtual celebrity: eXinxinPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, December 14, 2005 8:08 PM
![]() Coming to a cartoon near you Her name is eXinxin (E 欣欣). She appears in video games, cartoon books and computer generated movies. She also acts in TV series. Her pneumatic body looks like Lara Croft's, and Angelina Jolie is her favorite actress. And, of course, she has a blog. She is being touted as China's first virtual celebrity, a little like the Eidoru of William Gibson's novels who exist only as bits and bytes but become more popular than flesh and blood actors and singers. eXinxin is a real human being, but many of her 'performances' are as model for the cartoon and video game characters that use her name. This is translated from a Sina.com page about e Xinxin: The real person behind eXinxin has signed to Jiuzhou Yahua Talent Management Company; eXinxin is her stage name. In the real world, she is a performer whom Jiuzhou Yahua hopes to develop as a star for movies, TV and music. In the imaginary world, she also has all types of virtual roles in many works, including eXinxin's 3D cartoon movie, eXinxin's epic cartoon book, a non-playing character in network games, and as a virtual TV presenter in TV programs. Before she became eXinxin, she was known as Li Xinyu (李欣娱 ), which also looks like a stage name. Her blog includes many photos of her in skimpy clothing, and descriptions of her current experiences in Shenzhen working as model for a computer generated movie. She writes about how men prefer to look at women's upper bodies, illustrating her point with many photos of her ample cleavage. She tells readers why she deleted comments calling her a slut, and describes her vision of a woman's passions, ambitions and basic characteristics. And she is very happy that her blog has had more than 30,000 visits since she started it. ![]() Virtual celebrity with no clothes on car in garage UPDATE: Since the above was published, eXinxin's blog has been going nuts. Witness the image to the left, and the stuff she is writing, loosely translated below: Let's first talk about wild women and basic instincts! Yeah. Links and Sources
