Unfortunately the famous Pirelli Calendar does not has any nude photography this year. (What were they thinking?!)
But the good news is that the theme of 2008 is ‘Pearls of the Orient’ and no less then THREE Chinese women are part of the line-up! Again, no nudity… (I just can’t get over that!)Mo Wandan (born January 29, 1988) is a Chinese fashion model. She has walked the runway for Dios, Armani and Krizia. She posed for fashion magazine French wearing John Galliano. She is considered a rising star in Europe.
Du Juan (born September 15, 1982, in Shanghai) is a Chinese fashion model. A former Miss China 2003, Du made her runway debut in Spring 2006, walking for prominent designers such as Valentino and Jean-Paul Gaultier.
Maggie Cheung (born September 20, 1964) is a multi award-winning Chinese actress from Hong Kong. Raised in England, she has over 80 films to her credit since starting her career in 1983.

thats scary looking
No nudity! The calendar’s past subscribers aren’t gonna be happy with that.
Hmm, now if it only featured those models, i would buy it. but i think my Bleach and Ayumi Hamasaki calendars are enough.
Oh, and I am glad there is no nudity in this one.
Here’s my favorite shot from the calendar. Beautiful Shanghai. This is where I need to be.

hideous photos
Maggie Cheung’s a hottie. She’s definitely older now but a Maggie Cheung in her prime was a force to be reckoned with. Watch her in the film Days of Being Wild and fall in love.
Thanks for the movie hint. I’ll see it. Thought I’d seen all her work. She’s 43 now and still a knockout, and my life would be complete were I to have a night with her. She’s not only still hot, but smart and talented. She’s getting into composing film music.
43?! Wow, that really is quite something!
Du Juan is a nice surprise. I don’t usually like the super thin fashion model look, but she’s pretty amazing. She’s supposed to be 5′ 10″. Now that’s a tall asian broad. It’s cool though, I could handle her.
Just noticed Robin didn’t link to our earlier Du Juan article in his post – I’ve just updated it. Without mountains of makeup, Du Juan is (like many fashion models) not very attractive at all IMHO.
I see why she needs mountains of makeup because she is very unattractive without it.
Speaking of unattractive models, America’s Next Top Model comes on in a month. I never watch it but I’m always curious to see if any Asians are on the show which there are none and Yahoo just put up a slideshow of the contestants and to me they are all the same, half are unattractive, and two look like dudes so I will continue not watching this show.
