As a part of Asian Contemporary Arts Week, Tally Beck housed minimalist artist Chen Jiao's artwork this past weekend.  Jiao's work was hand selected from a "live" panel in Shanghai, who chose twenty artists to represent contemporary Asian design.

• Love our Queen Bee as much as we do? Then check out Blackbook's article about Rachelle, the "Industry Insider," and learn more about the girl behind GofG. [BB]

• A California sperm bank is providing customers pictures of celebrities which most resemble donors. Oh, wishful thinking. [CNN]

• The city is putting the breaks on street food favorite, The Dessert Truck. Hysterical sweet-toothed fans wander the sidewalks aimlessly, shouting the names of various sugary treats at passersby. Okay not really, but that would be really funny. [Eater] More»

The Hello Kitty Castle. Mover over Barbie, there's a new dream house on the block ... well, on the other side of the world. Hello Kitty lovers now have an official shrine in China, and it just might be the greatest thing to happen in Hello Kitty's march toward world domination. The folks in the far East recently baptized the too cute feline-inspired home in Shanghai, and much like everything San Rio, we don't get its purpose. Though,  people think it's super kawaii! More»

[The Fuwa, the mascots of the Beijing Olympics]

And alas, Sunday night"s closing ceremony marked the end of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing China. And what a Games it was! Arnold gave US athletes an awesome send off before they left for China. Michael Phelps managed to pull off 8 golds to become the most decorated (greatest) Olympian ever, and we bumped into him and his cocked Lacoste hat at China Doll. Opening ceremony tickets were nearly impossible to come by, fetching prices upwards of 30K (and Bill Gates was rumored to have spent 400K on an air-conditioned box). Henry Kissinger was spotted sleeping at a basketball game. Vince Vaughn hung out with the US athletes at the USA house. You can find Mcdonalds everywhere on planet earth, even in the Olympic Village cafeteria. We encouraged Olympic twins to mate.  The pool in the village was quite the scene, and gate crashers were a no go at the village "sex fest".  Till next time, London 2012 here we come!

Just a couple of months ago, China Pagoda moved into my neighborhood. No pork in a Chinese restaurant/take-out joint? An anomaly? Being Chinese myself, I know that though some things claim to be vegetarian, there is always pork essence (at least in my household). Pork is so much more than meat. Think My Big Fat Greek Wedding and their sentiments on lamb.

Apparently, China Pagoda proves that pork or not, the same flavor can be reproduced sans pork and with halal meat. More»
