A couple of weeks ago, I watched this old Hong Kong movie, Tempting Heart, and one of the actresses in it was Karen Mok. It has been a long time since I watched her or read about her. Heck, it has been a long while since I kept in touch with the Hong Kong entertainment industry as I was busying myself with Korean dramas and movies instead.

However, after watching Karen Mok in Tempting Heart, I was reminded that she launched her own lingerie line earlier this year in January, 2008, the first Asian celebrity to do so, just like Western celebrities. Well, Karen Mok is really forward thinking, I must say. After all, she is not pure Chinese and was educated in the West.

In this Karen Mok lingerie line, Karen herself designed these luxurious lingerie pieces and on top of that, she modeled them herself as well. I managed to dig these old shots online, thankfully. Enjoy!

19-year-old Peaches Geldof, who angered his father, Sir Bob Geldof, for her hasty marriage to boyfriend, 23-year-old Max Drummey last month in Las Vegas after only two months of dating, once again created a shock, this time by modeling for Agent Provocateur in their ‘Season of the Witch’ ad campaign.

Agent Provocateur is a well-known British lingerie brand that opened its first lingerie store in 1994 in London but has now expanded to thirteen other major cities around the world. A little bit of trivia for those who are interested, one half of the founders of Agent Provocateur Joseph Corré, who is the son of British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and ex-manager of the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren.

Agent Provocateur lingerie and the ad campaign have always aimed to shock and provoke. Their break came with their 2001 ad campaign that featured Kylie Minogue. Kate Moss also appeared for Agent Provocateur twice in 2006 and 2008.

This latest ad campaign called ‘Season of the Witch’, features Peaches Geldof, whom Agent Provocateur say has just the right “look” and “person of the moment”.
