Ani

My friend Ani, a restaurant operator, was bugging me to take a pic of her that will make her look like a fashion model. So I told her to get off the car and took this pic of her against a construction site hoarding. The “deer-caught-in-the-car-headlights” look with harsh lighting and resulting shadows was popular with fashion magazines at one time or another. Of course, she didn’t believe me when I told her clients will pay thousands for that style. She was quite pleased with the outcome and it did get her catwalk career going πŸ™‚

Have you noticed the recent Chinese fascination with stainless steel? The shiny metal adorns the front entrance of so many Chinese homes these days.

Being practical folks, they are probably attracted to the maintenance-free and longer lasting properties of stainless steel. It is ideal under our weather, especially when used for gates and grills.

So what can you give a Chinese homeowner who has every chrome railing and bannister?Β  No. Not blue roof tiles. That is passe. Get him a set of matching, shiny stainless steel water tanks lah. It must be externally mounted though. πŸ™‚
