Sunghi Lee - Never Before Seen Photos

Going through some of my old photos, I came across this one of Sunghi Lee, taken in Suwon, South Korea on June 6th, 1998 while she was there to promote her movie A Night on the Water. Not a great film (despite a decent performance by Sunghi), but one I truly feel deserves cult status. Great soundtrack, though.

Kelly Siew

I first caught medical intern and singer Kelly Siew at her Xanga blog and immediately thought her worthy of a inclusion here, so I contacted her about it and she immediately replied saying she was fine with the idea.

Having studied singing since she was 8 years old, the 5' 8", 24 year-old Malaysian native currently lives in Australia, where she's a first-year intern at a small hospital in Melbourne. Kelly's trying to decide between OB/GYN, psychiatry, or family medicine. However, she tells me singing is still her first love, which she does semi-professionally. Some of her achievements include being named first runner-up at this year's TVB International New Talent Singing Championship and 2nd runner-up at this year's Chinese Melbourne Miss University Contest, which the photo at right is from. She's also quite and amateur chef and even shares some of her many personal recipes at her Xanga blog.

Penny Gilley

While most of the big names only perform at the big US Military installations while they're on USO or MWR overseas tours, Penny Gilley was one of the few who appeared at the Scudbuster on Suwon Air Base, to the delight of some very appreciative soldiers (such as myself) and airmen. Having met Penny on three separate occasions, I could almost say I know her personally. Above is an interview she did last April for KOLR TV in Springfield, Missouri, about her shows at the newly-opened RFD theater in Branson.

Comedienne Tina Kim

Even though a rare breed, there are several pretty Asian stand-up comediennes ("comedienne," that's the feminine form of "comedian") on the US circuit these days. One of whom is Korean-American funny girl, Tina Kim, who was born in Seoul and immigrated to the United States at the age of four. She's a former TV news anchor who now books and produces most of her own comedy shows.

Tina's humor can be a little on the "blue" side at times (like another popular Korean-American comedienne, that I don't think I'll mention by name), but she seems to appeal to a pretty wide crowd. You can catch more samples of her humor at her Youtube channel, her Myspace, and her Offical Website.

Vampira

Long before Elvira was wishing her viewers "unpleasant dreams," there was Vampira, TV's original sexy horror hostess with an hourglass figure poured into a sleek black dress. She told her fans she gave "epitaphs, not autographs." Played by Finnish-American actress Maila Nurmi, Vampira hosted the Vampira Show which originally ran on Los Angeles' KABC TV from 1954-1955.

"The Black Widow" Jeanette Lee

A couple of months ago, Korean racing girl Yoon Sun-hee was featured at Asian Sirens, which led me to find this video of her participating in a Racing Girl Billiard Tournament. I commented that she was "no Jeanette Lee," which made me wonder if the winner of 17 WPBA titles had ever been featured at Asian Sirens. I was surprised to find that she hadn't, so I'm featuring her here now and sharing this with Asian Sirens, for all to see why ESPN once named the Black Widow one of the sexiest female athletes in the world.

By the way, yours truly had the pleasure of meeting her last year when she visited Korea for some exhibition games, and she does have very a nice rack. (Pun intended.)
