Strange habits of Chinese females

Walking through Chinese city is always amusing. But the most amusing feature of any city in China (well, of any city on this planet) would be it's inhabitants - the people on the streets, minding their business and occasionally trying to poke the nose into yours.

And of course being male I will look at the girls. Now that would be almost evading a description. Chinese street crowds are as multicolored - and multicultured - as any crowd on Earth. If somebody would say that Asians are all alike - kick the liar. Here in Guangzhou you will see people from Northeast towering over tiny Southerners, all kinds of Caucasians, Arabs, Negroes from all over Africa... I haven't seen any Australian aborigines yet, but they must be here somewhere. But in all that swirling crowd some local girls stand out like... we'll, not like delicate flowers we Westerners were taught to expect, but more like sore thumb. They have that unique ability of taking what prettiness the gods have given them... and ruining it completely.

Take, for instance, their fascination with big breasts. Having not much in the natural way, they took to every method of getting it enlarged. They put that foamy stuff you find in the seat cushions into their bras. They use silicone baggies (filled with silicone goo) in the same place. They would buy all kinds of quack treatments. They will turn to the surgical treatments (there are more plastic surgeons than dentists in Guangzhou, it seems). Just this month some "entertainer" was showing her botched boob job to everyone in the street so these plastic surgeons must be not much better than local dentists...

And that eternal quest for white skin! Again there"' an industry of "whitening" cosmetics which can't possibly do the job but costs like a whole truckload of industrial-strength bleach. The best this gets you is a skin the color of very pale dirt, if there is such a thing.

Still not scared enough? Well, there's always clothing. Now, that would be something I can't even begin to describe. Take everything stupid from Japanese teen magazines. Make it cheaper and uglier by orders of magnitude. Now you have something that would be seen as fit for wearing by our breast-enhanced bleach-treated specimen. And don't forget those knee-high boots! It doesn't matter that Guangzhou lies in the subtropical zone and it's like 30 degrees Celsius outside. And maybe add parka or warm jacket on top.

You know the best part of this nightmare? Most of Chinese females are too sane to wear all parts of it and have to go round looking natural. The most awful part, on the other hand, would be that not everything looking that outrageous would be female. About 60 per cent would be, in fact, boys... Straight boys, in fact. Speak about cultural differences...
