Unusual mention of Anita in TODAY papers

by Delfin

 

No, this is not the latest news on Anita but I was pleasantly surprise to find Anita being mention in this article on fashion & being made a point of reference. So, juz wanna share since it's so rare to see her in local (Singapore) papers.

Source: TODAY papers, Weekend edition, 29-30 Apr 2006, Pg.30
Article entitled, "Male it In - To look more feminine, women are raiding men's wardrobes"
(I'll only quote the parts that made reference to Anita)

"I've always been baffled by one thing about legendary female characters Hua Mu Lan and Zhu Ying Tai and their modern celluloid counterparts Gwyneth Paltrow's Viola in "Shakespeare in Love" and Anita Yuen's Ah Wing in "He's a Woman, She's a Man".

How could anyone not notice that these cross-dressing females are, well, not men?

For those not in the know, Mu Lan and Ying Tai posed as men to go to war and school, respectively. Viola and Ah Wing disguised themselves to venture into showbusiness - Viola to become an actress in 16th Century England and Ah wing to become a celebrity in modern-day HK.

Methinks whether you are disguised in a Shakespearean costume or a warrior suit, the grace of a woman - especially one as fine-looking as Gwyneth and Anita Yuen (who incidentally also played Hua Mu Lan in a recent tv series) - is still inherent."

...ok, that's all...hmn, think i like this reporter, Pearlyn Tham, now....hahaha!..juz kidding
