This one is 3/4 of a homegirl lolz
She's a British actress famous for playing a gamut of characters on British television dramas such as Sherlock, Doctor Who, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, etc. Her name is Gemma Chan (awhh prettiiiii name ^_^), and she's tall too, 5'9" like me. I believe she's a former model!

Here's her bio from Showtime:
British actress GEMMA CHAN was born in London and grew up in Kent. Her mother is of Scottish-Chinese heritage and her father grew up in Hong Kong. She studied law at Worcester College, Oxford University and upon graduating was offered a job with a leading law firm. However she turned it down in order to pursue her acting career, going on to train at the prestigious and notoriously tough Drama Centre London. Spotted at her showcase by British film producer Damian Jones (The History Boys, Kidulthood, Welcome to Sarajevo), she then signed to acting agent Nicki van Gelder, who has guided the careers of Samantha Morton and Helena Bonham Carter.

Chan has had a busy time since graduating from the Drama Centre in 2008. She can currently be seen in Sherlock, a contemporary adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. She can also be seen in the fourth season of the BAFTA and International Emmy award winning sitcom The It Crowd for Channel 4, directed by Graham Linehan. Next year, she will be seen on the big screen in the comedy drama Submarine and the World War II drama Shanghai directed by Mikael Håfström, alongside John Cusack, Chow Yun-Fat and Gong Li.

Chan previously appeared as a guest star in the Autumn 2009 special of the BBC's Doctor Who ('The Waters of Mars') and in the the psychological thriller EXAM...

i've been obsessed with this model. her name is Fei Fei Sun ( or, if u r chinese, u'll say her name Sun Fei Fei. we always say our last name first!) Anyway, she's amazing, tall, super skinny, and has such a fierce walk. i think her nose is her most amazing feature, like model alessandra ambrosio and actress keira knightley. i've seen her popping up in ads everywhere, and runways all over the world including the most recent new york fashion week. she speaks her mind, is not shy, and is so real and herself in interviews. i think she rocks!!!

the one with her eyes closed

... well most Los Angeles peeps are about to, with the closure of a section of the infamous 405 freeway, which we nicknamed the PARKING LOT.



"For 53 hours this weekend and early Monday (7pm Friday, 7/15th - 5am Monday 7/18th), a 10-mile stretch of Interstate 405 between U.S. 101 and Interstate 10 will be closed for a bridge demolition." CNN

For those of you who don't live in Los Angeles probably wouldn't be able to understand the severity of this "Carmageddon." But, let me just tell you, this is gonna be THE END OF THE WORLD for us... LOL - my very last LOL ever!

Check out this super funny article written by Roy Rivenburg on CNN Opinion. It's hilarious and so very very very true at the same time!

"
Why is it called Carmageddon?

Because the National Weather Service refused to lend the city one of its hurricane nicknames. And because "Traffic Jam Vince" didn't adequately convey the horror of a total freeway meltdown.

Isn't everyone overreacting? It's just one freeway.

If your heart had a blockage, would you say, "It's just one ventricle"? Freeways are what make L.A. tick. We don't have an NFL team (and the Dodgers are on life support); we have the 5, the 405, the 10 and the 110. And we don't have seasons; we have morning rush hour and afternoon rush hour.

So, this isn't simply about closing a highway. It's about disrupting a way of life. The 405 is to L.A. what the Cubs are to Chicago: totally infuriating, yet we keep coming back for more.

Aren't there alternate routes?

Yes, but they require a detour through Arizona. There was a brief glimmer of hope when JetBlue offered $4 flights between Burbank and Long Beach, but the trips sold out in a few hours.

Why don't people just stay home for the weekend?

And do what? Read? Don't make us laugh.

So how will residents cope?

Psychologists strongly advise against quitting the freeway habit cold turkey. Public service announcements urge motorists to spend at least one hour a day parked in the driveway with the motor running, simultaneously sending text messages and shooting at their neighbor's cars in simulated road rage.

Why weren't people given more warning about the freeway shutdown?

It's true that most of the publicity was fairly recent. However, the event was clearly prophesied in the Bible, which mentions the Four Hyundais of the Apocalypse appearing near the end of time.

What happens after the freeway reopens?

The movie version, of course.

A lot of people have been wondering why the LACMA lawn behind the Resnick Pavilion is getting all torn up just a short time after getting all nice and green. The spot is preparing for the arrival of artist Michael Heizer's enormous "Levitated Mass" installation--a 340 ton boulder hovering over a 15 foot deep trench (which you'll be able to walk through!). For a showstopper like that, you can't just pick up some boulder off the street. Heizer's had his eye on a particular rock at a quarry near Riverside since 2006, reports the Press-Telegram. He bought it for $120,000 and storage has been $100 a month. (Heizer's had dibs on it so long that caretaking responsibilities have now spanned two ownerships--a worker says "It's been in the way every day.") On August 5, the boulder will board a 200 foot trailer and travel on surface streets at about seven miles per day. Nine days later, on August 14, the rock will arrive at LACMA to what a museum rep says will be a public celebration. Everyone start getting your "Welcome to LA, 340 Ton Rock" banners out of storage.
