Today, 8.8.08, besides being the start of the Olympic Games in Beijing is the LUCKIEST DAY of the year according to the Chinese. From yesterday:
Tomorrow morning, at 8:08 am, 8 ladies in Shanghai Tang’s signature scarlet silk Qi Pao dresses will pass out 888 red envelopes containing a lucky Chinese dollar on the corner of 57th and Madison Avenue.
