Even some of Hong Kong’s most beautiful and remote beaches suffer from hazardous waste. Last year I spotted two syringes on the beach while hiking along the coastline to Tai Long Wan in Sai Kung. Just last weekend I happened upon another nasty object. (more…)
This Friday the 23rd, Diesel is holding an in-store event to celebrate their Spring Summer 2010 denim collection. Titled ‘Sex Sells,” it features racy, charged photos by photographer Miko Lim.
Getting into the spirit of the campaign, Diesel will transform their main window on Queens Road Central into a ‘peep show’ to tantalize attendees (and unwitting passersby,) with their new denim line. Tunes for the night will be supplied by d.j. Miss Yellow.
Diesel’s invitation summarizes the event as: “Come hang, get boozed up, eat hot dogs and gawk at models!” Also on hand will be some sort of campaign-themed game with naughty Diesel toys as prizes…

O.k. we’re catching up on things that happened over the last few weeks. American Apparel has finally landed in Hong Kong, curiously housed under the roof of high-fashion retailer Lane Crawford.
Will the basics-brand-with-attitude be a success? (more…)
Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin… Michael Wong? If you’ve been longing for a Rat-Pack inspired evening in Macau, this may be your best chance!
Friday, April 16th, Michael Wong will be performing live with a seventeen-piecebig band at the Sands Theater in Macau. In addition to announced duets with singers Race Wong (2R), and Marsha Yuan, you can expect a number of special celebrity guests to take the stage over the course of the evening.
In true Vegas form, there will be a string of dancers and other performers adding to the spectacle of the show.
A Legend Reborn
This isn’t the first time that Michael Wong has helmed a band of this size. In 2007, he lead a series of concerts with a big band as well. You can watch a video of him rehearsing for that performance here.
Based on the previous show, I’d say Michael will be singing renditions of popular songs and big-band classics. The vast majority, if not all of the songs, will be in English.
Though most people think of Michael Wong as an actor, (and one who personifies the stereotypical ‘A.B.C.’ with a cocky attitude and broken Cantonese,) he’s put out several CDs and has a real passion for music.
Check out his recent rehearsal with Race Wong and a brief interview:
Michael Wong has not left the building… there’s more!
In addition to the concert, there will be a special after-party to celebrate Michael Wong’s birthday!
The after-party will take place at The View on the 24th floor of The Sands casino and features several d.j.s as well as the Glamour Girls and Sands Angels dancers! If that’s not enough, the Alive Not Dead gang will be in strong attendance and you know how they party! Expect a celebrity-filled event with Michael Wong presiding.

Eugene Kan, managing editor of the popular fashion site Hypebeast, has brought together eighteen individuals from different backgrounds to form a new photography exhibition titled ‘Day Job?‘.
The exhibition opens Friday, April 9th, at the new Above Second gallery in Sai Ying Pun.
Simon Birch, an artist we have covered extensively on Hong Kong Hustle, is launching an ambitious new exhibition titled Hope and Glory on Thursday, April 8th.
The show will be spread out over 20,000 sq. feet – an enormous size in this land-scarce, densely packed city. (Some of you may already be familiar with the ArtisTree space as it was the site of last year’s excellent Vivienne Westwood retrospective.)
This show is billed as a “conceptual circus” and seeks to immerse the attendees in a multimedia experience. Although known primarily as a painter, Simon has experimented with additional art forms including sculpture, film, and even performance art.
