I read with incredulity in yesterday's newspapers about how this Chinese Australian woman in Sydney has bought a billboard ad to try to get herself a husband. The ad is placed at some prominent road intersection in the suburb of Randwick. There was a photo of her standing in front of her billboard ad.
I must say that this woman is very brave to take up such an ad! I sure as hell wouldn't pull off something like that. She describes herself as a "beautiful intelligent Australian Chinese lady" who is seeking to have a "dream family with a fabulous partner to enjoy a lifetime with". Apparently she has a thing for white men as she has specifically asked for someone of Caucasian appearance. Her other criteria include having a good sense of humour, solid financial background with warm and caring nature, and she prefers someone who's a businessman or from a professional background.
I say she should go to the movies--that way she'll find this person she's looking for!
And just for the heck of it, since it's a Friday, and I have a self-given licence to be ditsy and bimbotic, what should I write if I were to put up one for myself?
Intelligent (ahem) Chinese woman seeks to find partner who can accompany her on her eating escapades
- Ideally can cook, enjoys food, and doesn't eat like a bird
- solid financial background...must be able to bring in the bacon both literally and metaphorically
Only connoisseurs and food aficionados need reply.

Posted by: dsd at October 22, 2004 10:38 AMI hope she finds her man, and she doesnt need to go to the movies to see him!!!! I give her 10 out of 10 for effort.
DSD doesnt need a billboard, the Blog steals hearts across the world. Unfortunately not only hearts go out to DSD, but also dinners.
DSD pick up line : "hi, what would you like for dinner"....

Posted by: D W at October 22, 2004 5:48 PMRoss: Well yeah, I give her 10/10 for effort too. I'll bet the Sydney Morning Herald or rather the Daily Telegraph will do a followup story on her.
Haha...i should try that pick up line some time! :)
DW: Good, that's the way it should be. Cookie Monster is very endearing in his eternal quest for more cookies. The only bird i'll condone is Big Bird! He looks like he'll eat helluva lot more than little sparrows.
