I Found It… On the INTERNET!!
Vol. 3: The dream of Poptimism is alive in mid-1990s Hong Kong.
Tonight only! Come see me and my personal Internet heroine Katherine Cross talk DILF at Literary Arts in Portland, Oregon. Details here.
Tomorrow, January 28, the fifth and penultimate issue of Be Not Afraid will be at your comic store. When last you read Be Not Afraid, the lead character died and we immediately went on hiatus for several months. While I'm delighted to know that some people think we just had the most depressing ending of any series in history, we're not done, so go read the preview.
Finally: Dead Teenagers, the time loop slasher coming-of-age tale of your (my) dreams, is still coming your way in March, and now we have an extended preview.
I will be honest with you: I got into Faye Wong for the Looks. Every so often, among the various pieces of clickbait offered up to me by Facebook and below-the-article link chunks, there would be a photo of a woman looking truly, spectacularly, wonderfully ‘90s — a woman I had never seen before, but who nonetheless embodied Fashion at its glorious pre-millennial peak.
There were casual looks:

Not-so-casual looks:

Unholy mergers of casual and not-so-casual, featuring several dozen layers of sweater atop emerald-green pleather hot pants:

Semi-transparent sweaters, Bjork buns, DeLiA’s-cut athleisure with space-age makeup — this was a woman who had everything. But what did this woman — this “Faye Wong” — do, other than wear clothing?





Correction: EXCELLENT clothing.
I'm glad you asked! Faye Wong is also responsible for saving the concept of Poptimism, in that she is a world-famous mega-commercial extremely successful pop star who also feels as if she were manufactured in a lab specifically to appeal to the highly specific taste profile of one Jude Doyle.
