Okay, I take back every nice thing I’ve said about Vanness Wu’s facial hair. He now appears to be doing a bad impression of Johnny Depp:

At least, that’s the most charitable explanation I have for this horrible ensemble. Vanness turns thirty this week (welcome to the club, dearie), and he held a little celebration of that auspicious occasion this weekend with 500 of his closest friends in Taipei. Ex-girlfriend Vivian was apparently going to jump out of a cake, but she arrived too late to pull off the surprise. There’s a bummer for you… though I can’t imagine wanting an ex to jump out of a cake at you no matter how amiable the split. Guests included Barbie Hsu and Leehom Wang… [*pauses to consult the cardinal rules of Mandopop blogging*]… don’t you think Vanness was looking much better back when he and Leehom were boxing?
Hideous. Looks like an unflattering caricature of J. Depp and has none of the charm.
But seriously, are you trying to set a record for number of times linked back to the Leehom boxing video???
No, I’ve decided it’s a rule: no self-respecting Mandopop blogger can mention Leehom and Vanness in the same post and *not* link to it. Mention just Leehom, no worries, just Vanness, of course not, but both together = sweaty shirtless boxing MV.
Ugh, I feel like Vanness just makes bad clothing/hair choices in general. He really can’t pull it off at all -_- Change your stylist dude!!!!
