I caught the popular Taiwan Variety show - Guess Guess Guess on Sat nite.

The show's one of my fave and it has a history of more than 10 years in the running. Helmed by the wacky Jackie Wu, Ah Ya and Butterfly sister ( a recent addition to the show), it is humorous mix of interesting personalities, chio babes, sunny hunks and fun games.

There is a segment called (translated into english here): Do not judge a book by the cover. Usually (mayb like 85%of the time) is chio babes and guests are to guess which chio babe is the fave of the lot. Last sat's theme though was girls who looked the exact opposite of their made-up self.

Firstly, guests were shown pictures of these girls made-up and when the girls appeared, the guests and audiences were ghastly apalled by the un-made-up girls. The stark difference got many an eye-ball popping.

But what really struck me was how one the girls who came on the show, revealed her motivation for appearing bare-faced on telly:

She was tired of piling on the war paint everytime she steps out of the house even for a short while to meet friends. Sick of boyfriends (ex and potential) giving her the boot after seeing her bare faced.

(in fact another girl pointed how a potential skirt-chaser went from worshipping her to treating her like she's air when she met up with him one fine day without her make-up and curls.)

Courage points definitely. I think is quite horrendous if a trip down the neighbourhood kopitiam warrants a made-up face. No one's gonna do a moses-spilt-the-river if you appear bare-faced there,which is like 10mins from your home.

But I have to admit, make-up skills exhibited those girls were superb. They looked like they just stepped out of those online blogshops that you see on taiwan auctions. Super chio!
