62個評論Heh ok...stupid title aside I wanted to write a blog that has absolutely nothing to do with me...kinda.
So at the Tet fest there were tons of little girls wearing Ao Dai's, a few teens and a lot of grandma's wearing them. Funny thing was unless they were part of the show not many if any girls 20-40ish were wearing them. Oh well, must be shy.
Ao Dai is vietnamese dress...similar to Qipao chinese girl's wear...cept better hehe jk just different.
Vs 
(Chinese vs Vietnamese...actually they're pretty similar in some ways...)
No reason, just like this artist so threw in his version of korean clothes the Hanbok.Ok onto the real pics...

Traditional White Ao Dai...^_^




I'm always worried for the girl in the pic on the left...the dress is so white and so thin...if she falls in the water...maaaann...=\

The dress is cool...strange...white to show purity...but almost looks see through...so kinda strange at the same time. Girls are supposed to wear it as a school uniform I think too.

Those are the plain basic white ones...but seems like people don't like wearing white ones that much anymore (or at least not many American Viet girls do) so the fashion designers are going nuts coming up with new designs and colors. Supposedly white till you graduate high school, then pastels till marriage then more vibrant colors after marriage...least that's what I read some where. I don't think girls in America follow those rules though, cuz I've seen some girls who I doubt were married wearing super colorful ones heh.



Crazy big hat on that one girl hehe










Yep colors....okNow for more random designs..heh


Whoa too much European/french influence I think on the first one...and the second one is definitely a more modern look at Ao Dai...heh.







The one on the left...pretty different if I just randomly saw it I'd doubt it was an Ao Dai, but found it on a site that sells only Ao Dai's so I guess...

The pink one almost looks like a night gown more than a normal Ao Dai...
And per most cultures I guess girls wear Ao Dai's for their weddings. My fiance'd be wearing one too...if I married a Viet girl.


First one's tight, got a dragon print, looks like an old design I made before. Oh Yeah traditional hat versus wedding Veil...
-----------EDIT-----------
The Old design I made...heh ok looks nothing like the Ao Dai above...minus the dragon print...

Dunno if the red one qualifies as a wedding dress, but looks good to me...heh.

Not sure about that pink one either...but oh well. Veil vs hat again heh.Here's a couple random links. First link is from a Fashion Designer's website, and all the photos are from a well known photographer, he mostly takes pics of girls in Ao Dai's.

A poor struggling artist trying to live his own way in a confined business run world.
Hmm about me huh? Well my story isn't for the weak of heart. Actually it probably isn't for anyone, because it's probably really boring. So I'll just go over some aspects.
Born in Manhattan New York. We lived in Queens, Brooklyn and eventually moved over to Jersey before heading out to California where my mom was from. We'd end up moving every couple of years because rent would go up and we couldn't afford to stay where we were.
I started learning martial arts from my father when I was about 4 years old, he's a 3rd degree black belt in Japanese JiuJitsu so he taught me the basics. He got tired of teaching though and sent me to sign up at the local Tae Kwon Do school. Every time we'd move I'd have to sign up at a new school, usually learning a new style as well. I stuck through doing martial arts at least 3-6 days a week up until the day I turned 18. Lots of the time I had wanted to quit, because giving up my days to train and tire myself out while other kids were just home goofing off or hanging out and so on seemed like a waste to me. But after I turned 18 I was off to college where I began teaching a weird TKD/Karate mix to elementary school kids all across the San Jose area up north. Teaching the kids was a lot of fun, one of my favorite jobs ever. Had to go through a lot because parents didn't like a kid teaching their kids, but after a while I'd have the parents asking me to teach them. I did that for a couple years but hadn't really trained myself in 3 or so years, until I joined a WuShu school back down in San Diego. I trained pretty good there for about a year, then got the chance to go to Beijing to train WuShu out there. My first day there though I ended up ripping my Achilles tendon and had to quit training for good pretty much. I fell into a bit of depression thinking my martial arts life was over, Achilles injuries always seemed the worst to me, and Martial Arts had always been a big part of my life. I haven't ever gotten my foot completely fixed, so still hurts like hell everyday, but much less than it used to. I couldn't walk for at least over 6 months, and couldn't walk properly for almost 2 years. The injury happened about 4 years ago, back in 2004. About 6 months ago I started training a lot again and now I'm back on track to where I want to be. Although my skill level has dropped significantly and I'm embarrassed for people to see me, especially people who knew me before my injury and before I was 18 heh.
That's my Martial Arts history, now for my acting one heh.
At around 10-12 I began an acting career. It didn't really get anywhere because I looked "too young" according to all the casting directors I would go see. I got a couple small things, but nothing significant. Then I had to drop my agent, who took advantage of me anyway, and had to start focusing on school. Later when I was about 16-17 I tried to get back into it again with a new passion and drive. I almost got a couple leading roles on tv shows, but this time I was too old heh. Then I had the opportunity to get on some high school drama show, but I was leaving for college then and my parents told me college was more important. So I left. Acting had to go on the back burner for a while. I tried once or twice to get back into it in the later years, but never had the opportunity or had to back out before I could really pursue it. Now I'm driven more than ever and on my way back to the life of acting and trying to get myself recognized. With the help of some friends, learning new acting techniques and getting some tips on where I should start and how I should approach the whole thing. Acting as an adult seems, so far anyway, much different from acting as a child. Exciting and scary it's the path I've chosen and the one I'll be on forever hopefully.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
