It’s Halloween.
Although we are not in America, we do like to participate in all unique festivals, especially when there is commercial opportunity to sell a thing or two.
Masquerade parties are abundant. I wonder why are there so many girls dressing up as witches and guys dressing up as prostitutes. Secret inner fantasy of oneself maybe?
After the recent success of the movie “Twilight”, I decided to dress up as a vampire.
They are no longer frightening creatures. Why should they be? At least in Hollywood, they always look so sexy, so gorgeous and extremely romantic. They always wear designers’ clothes and live in castles. All of them have sleek kung fu moves. Vampires don’t age or die from the passing of time. Wanna nibble my sensitive neck area? Big welcome ! Once you are bitten by a vampire, you will become one of them. Then I will live forever.
In the Asian world, vampires are anything but glamorous. They are always ghastly looking and pallid. Their clothes are torn and they dwell in forests. They must be exhausting because they need to hop like a kangaroo all the time. Asian vampires demonstrate no emotions except growling. They are considered parasite-like; surviving on the expense of their host. A monk and some magic words are all that is needed to gain control of them.
So what do you think? Will I be dressing up as a western vampire or an Asian one?
