Widescreenbabes.com is a wallpaper site that specialized in babes. So they must have some Asian girls in their collection! Well, they have. But not a lot 🙁
One of the Asian cuties is Japanese Yuriko Shiratori. I’ve put resized copies of all 4 images in

Model Kanny Theng first caught my attention at hottestblogger.com, where she was one of the many Singapore girls featured. (Michelle Phan, also featured there, is one of the few from the U.S.) Even though that site hasn’t been updated in several months, Kanny still posts to her Xanga frequently.In addition to modeling at car shows, trade shows, and occasionally doing fashion and print work, she tells me she’s also done a bit of acting, having appeared in a few local TV shows. Also, after being featured there the previous year, the readers of the Singapore entertainment website, Stomp, subsequently voted Kanny its STOMP MAXIMum Babe last June.
Kanny made the cover of the Singapore edition of Maxim magazine in October of 2005 and later made their “Hot 100” list earlier this year.

For those of you who may have wanted to see a photo of her where she’s not smiling, this was as close as I could find.
One of our readers asked why we have never featured Maggie Cheung. She is one of Asia’s most beautiful women according to some. So here we go at last:
Maggie Cheung Man-yuk (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.Biography
Maggie Cheung traces her ancestry to Shanghai, China, and then fled from the Communists when the concession was returned to the Communists and moved to Hong Kong a couple of generations ago. Subsequently, her family, merchant-class, emigrated from the Crown Colony of Hong Kong to the United Kingdom. Maggie Cheung spent part of her childhood and adolescence in the United Kingdom. Upon her return to Hong Kong in 1983, at the age of 19 Cheung entered the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant contest. She won second place. She was a semi-finalist in the Miss World pageant the same year.
Prior to 1988, Maggie’s screen appearance was often limited to eye candy roles. One of Cheung’s notable movie roles then is that of “May”, the girlfriend of police detective “Kevin” Chan Ka Kui in Jackie Chan’s Police Story movies (however, she did not reprise the role in Police Story 4: First Strike or New Police Story). Maggie frequently cited her performance in the movie As Tears Go By (1988), her first of many collaborations with film director Wong Kar-Wai, as the piece that truly began her serious acting career. Maggie Cheung is famous for being a talented multi-lingual actress. In Centre Stage, she performed in Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghainese fluently, switching languages with ease. In Clean, she performed in fluent British-accented English, Parisian French, Cantonese and a smattering of Mandarin. Unlike most traditional actors in Hong Kong who are Cantonese monolingual, she is a polyglot as a result of her cosmopolitan upbringing.
Audiences outside Asia have become increasingly familiar with her work, including her roles in Centre Stage (as Ruan Lingyu), In the Mood for Love, Irma Vep, 2046, Hero, and, most recently, Clean.
She married French director Olivier Assayas in 1998 but divorced him in 2001. Their relationship remained amicable, however, as in 2004 Cheung made her award-winning movie Clean with him. As part of her portrayal of the drug-addicted aspiring singer Emily Wang in Clean, Maggie Cheung performed songs written by David Roback of Mazzy Star.
On 7 February 2007, The New York Times rated Maggie Cheung as one of the 22 Great Performers in 2006 for her Cannes winning role Emily in Clean.
After 25 years of making movies, Cheung is deciding to retire from acting and pursue a career as a film composer. She allows that there might be room for an occasional comedic role, but she would like to paint and compose music, after fulfilling her acting potential.
Here is a hilarious video all about Dim Sum – Chinese delicacies you should be familiar with if you love Asian ladies and Asian culture. Aiko Tanaka and Helen Su are featured enthusiastically eating their Dim Sum! I don’t see too many Chinese rap videos so this one really made me laugh. Click here for a much better quality version of this video.If you’ve never heard of Dim Sum, here is an excerpt from the Wikipedia entry:
Dim sum is the name for a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea. It can include dishes based on meat, seafood, vegetables, as well as desserts and fruit. The various items are usually served in a small steamer basket or on a small plate. Yum cha (literally “tea drinking”) is the actual term used to describe the dining session, especially in contemporary Cantonese.
