Anyone seen this magazine?

I'm sure its in most newsagents.
I'm not sure who's on the cover - but it features models from HK, China, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia (I think) and Thailand. Phew!

The only names I could make out were Bai Ling and Mika Tan.

seriously.... you really should have posted some images in this thread. I really got my hopes up (among other stuff...) so it's a bummer to only find text here...

Yeah I posted about it a few weeks back in "Toge's babes" thread. It features ladies from the Asian FHM mags.

It's an awesome magazine but for £5 it was to much when free Asian lady pics are on the net.

It has ladies from all over the world including Kelly Hu whose only actual Asian connection is Chinese ancestory, by that point it gets a bit silly.

p.s - Pics are probably on fhm.com which I can't look at at work.

£5 is a bt steep yeah.
Oh yeah I forgot about Kelly Hu, she's there too.

(Some) African Americans look African that doesn't make them African!

Nope, at least I wouldn't say she is:

"Kelly is a fourth-generation American with Chinese, Hawaiian and English ancestry.

Ethnicity: Chinese, Hawaiian and half English making her Eurasian."

She was born in Hawaii so really Hawaiian-American but seeing as Hawaii is very much part of America I'd say America. That said IMDB says she's Asian-American so what do I know.

So according to IMDB she's Eurasian AND Asian-American. O-Kay!

IMO it all gets really silly when people start reciting all the connections they have.

Like when Eva (No offence intended) said he has Scotish, Dutch, Portuguese, Indian and Sri Lankan blood in him. Those connections are so distant you can barely bring them up.

There's nothing at all African about 90% of African Americans except their skin colour. Why don't many/some White Americans call themselves British-American or English-American??? It makes just as much sense as Irish-American.

I'm Irish-English or English-Irish (you decide). My Dad was born in Ireland from Irish parents but moved to England when he was very young. My Mum's father was Irish but her Mother is English.

Technically I'm more Irish than English yet I've lived here all my life (technically most of it but it's already confusing enough).

I'm English (with Irish extraction). Done!

My parents are Scottish...
My grandparents are Scottish...

I'm 100% Dutch I think, and honestly, thats nothing to be proud of...

I'm English, but my name (well surname) is French. Go figure

Was born in London but my grandparents are from Newcastle. My cousin is Nigerian

Brad what does Eurasian (sp?) mean? I know Caucasian is white, right?

european-asian, so an asian mixed with european, lets say a french mother and a vietnamese father... or whatever.

Eurasian isn't limited to people born in Europe though, it can apply to Americans of European descent. In other words a white American father and Chinese mother would make their kid Eurasian.

Er, guys, can we stop arguing over her genealogy and just get back to Kelly Hu? Behold!
