My first AA celebrity male crush

From the moment I stopped thinking that boys were just cootie-spewing aliens and realized their eye-pleasing potentialities, I developed crushes only on…famous white boys (embarrassing confession #1). Let’s see, there was the ever iconic JTT (Jonathon Taylor Thomas), Devon Sawa, Andrew Keegan, Leo DiCaprio, and whoever else populated the covers of those exceptionally insipid tween-hottie ...

Throwbacks: Russell Peters does a sick Chinese dude

Indian-Canadian comedian Russell Peters is a comic genius and his stand-ups always have me tearing. His impression of a Chinese man is so on the dot that if I closed my eyes and just listened, you could not convince me that it was an Indian man doing an impression of a Chinese man. He’s been ...

Throwbacks: ZOOMin’ Keiko

♫ ♪ Come on and zoom, come on and zoom, come on and zoom, zoom, zoom-a, ZOOM!! ♪ ♫
My uber-Asian parents refused to install cable television when I was growing up, so I resorted to gorging on PBS Kids’ programs to fulfill my adolescent couch-potato needs. They actually were fun to watch AND I got ...

Throwbacks: “Booby Traps. That’s what I said.”

All right, raise your hand up high if you grew up watching “The Goonies”?
Awesome movie, right? Fo real, you have no idea how excited I was when I went to Target last week and found “The Goonies” DVD to be on sale. Let’s just say, I bought two. One to be used as my Secret ...

Throwbacks: The Anti-William Hung

Flashback to 2007’s American Idol, Season 6.  Jordin Sparks was crowned the new Idol, while Sanjaya Malakar received more buzz for his wacky hairstyles than his mediocre vocals.  But what about the other top 22 out of the 24 hopefuls?  Regardless if the contestants had pipes or not, there was always ‘that one’ who left ...

Throwbacks: “My Name’s Jubilee. I Blow Stuff Up”

Remember the days when the thing to do after school was watch your daily dose of weekday afternoon cartoons? What about waking up early for Saturday morning cartoons?
If so, then I gotta ask: Anyone remember “X-Men: The Animated Series”?
You know, the original “X-men” cartoon show that aired back in the 1990’s during the now-7-years-defunct Fox ...

Throwbacks: Cinderella’s singing sweetheart, Paolo Montalban

Throwbacks: Cinderella’s singing sweetheart, Paolo Montalban

I managed to catch a particular gnarly wave of nostalgia while channel surfing today, and the cute culprit was none other than Paolo Montalban. He became a household (well, just the ones inhabited by Asian hunk-appreciating girls like me) name with his, unfortunately, one-hit wonder claim to fame, Rodgers and Hammerstein‘s, “Cinderella.” The made-for-T.V historic ...

Throwbacks: Skittles, Taste the Stereotypes?

Skittles, the second-rate version of M&M’s, have had their fair share of interesting infomercials. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched them and thought, “Ummm seriously what was that about?” The following are no exceptions.

Throwbacks: “I am the Queen of Make-Believe”

Throwbacks: “I am the Queen of Make-Believe”

When I was younger, I practically learned the majority of my basic life skills from watching television. PBS was for sure one of the main TV channels that I glued my eyes to every morning.
One show in particular that I loved to watch and I am definitely not ashamed to admit watching was Barney. Yes, ...

Throwbacks: Got Rice?

If you’re an Asian American or you have AA friends, then at some point in your life you’ve heard this song. This used to be the anthem for Asian Americans around the states and I remember jamming out to this song and dancing like a fool with my posse. The lyrics are hilarious and though ...
