ART: Nooin - Cute Chameleon Selfies

Nooin

HAIKU Art Review: Nooin

Trying many masks
In hopes of finding her soul
Cute chameleon

   She is Luso-Japanese (under the cultural sway of the Portuguese Empire) Nu Goth. She has lived abroad, but returned to Tokyo, Japan to be with her family. She speaks English, Japanese & probably a few other languages. Beyond that Nooin is a bit of a mystery.

   I do know that she creates some unique selfie-art.

   Here is Chompoo (ชมพู่) modeling the colors of the Yellowmenace, Yellow & Red. I just couldn't resist.

   Chompoo (ชมพู่) is currently starring in the lakorn Sai See Plerng (ทรายสีเพลิง) on Ch3. It's airing Mon & Tue nights @ 8:30, Aug- Sep 2014 on Ch 3. You can find it at LakornHD on Youtube

Chompoo is famous actress, singer, model.. (comedian?) of Thai, Lao & British descent. She has a warm, charismatic personality & tons of talent, her fashion sense however, is an area where she does not excel.

    Yes, it's a fashion shoot, but you can always say "NO" when someone tries to stick a naked Barbie on ur head.

    She looks like some crazy Eskimo cheerleader.

   Green is a singer, model & actress in Thailand. These are some of the intricate outfits from her musical performances.

   My fav Green Lakorn  is Maya See Mook with Vee Veraparb Suparbpaiboon (Ch.7 2013). She plays Kaimook a Thai girl working as a stunt double for a TV drama. She ends up becoming the lead actress in a drama set in Korea & ends up connecting w/ her long lost mother, Sinitha Boonyasak as JinJoo. If you noticed that last name, yes that is 'Ploy' Chermarn's older sister.

THAI: Katreeya English - Siamese Kat

Fanpage   -  Facebook   -   Youtube

Sources: Volume - Image - FB - MagazineDee

   Katreeya English (แคทรียา อิงลิช) is a half Thai/half British singer, actress, model & acrobat.

   My fav Kat Lakorn (ละคร) is Faad Na Ya (แฝดนะยะ) with Por Tridsadee Sahawong (Ch.3 2010). As the title indicates, she plays twins named Bang & Baang, the girl is a tomboy who practices Muay Thai, the boy is a ladyboy who dreams of winning a beauty contest.

   It's lots of fun & adds lots of twists to the typical Lakorn plots because of the subject matter.

   Kat will be in a new Lakorn - Sao Noi Cafe. If the name sounds familiar, it's because this is a remake of an old Lakorn which Kat starred in & performed on the soundtrack.

Haiku Art Review: Erik Jones by Yellowmenace

Barry - Nadech Kugimiya (ณเดชน์ คูกิมิยะ;) 

   YaDech or YaBarry, (call them what U will) have captured the hearts & imaginations of Thai people dreaming of the perfect love.

Haiku Yaya & Barry by Yellowmenace

Perfect DNA
Men want her, women want him
Too beautiful 2

    Thailand was first introduced to YaDech in Duang Jai Akkanee (Akkanee's Heart) part 2 of Ch3's epic 4 part Drama  4 Hua Jai Haeng Khun Khao.

   Yaya was just a teenager & the lakorn was a sweet Romeo & Juliet story. Fai's (Nadech) family had a big farm  & Jeed's (Yaya) family owned a nearby dairy farm. Jeed's father was a hothead who hated Fai's father for taking the woman he loved, Fai's mother. Jeed's brother was a wild bully always looking for trouble.

   They starred together in couple other lakorns, Game Rai Game Rak & Torranee Ni Nee Krai Krong, but couldn't really recapture the magic of Duang Jai Akkanee.

   They've been working on a new lakorn called Roy Fun Tawan Deard (รอยฝันตะวันเดือ - The Rising Sun). It is an epic 2 part historical drama set in pre-WWI Japan. Mario Maurer will star in pt 1 & 'YaBarry' in pt2.
   I believe it will air this summer on Ch 3.   (I can't wait!)

THAI: Ploy Chermarn (พลอย-เฌอมาลย์) in Swimsuit

ImageMagazine - January 2014 Issue
Photos via: Magazine Dee & Image FB page

Name: Chermarn/Laila Boonyasak (เฌอมาลย์ บุญยศักดิ์)

Nickname: Ploy/พลอย

Profession: Actress/Model

Date of birth: September 15, 1982

   Ploy gained most of her fans thru her roles on Thai Lakorns (ละคร = nighttime TV dramas). 

   Unlike the majority of Daras (ดารา = Thai stars) who only play Nang-ek (นางเอก = heroine), Ploy has also played her share of villains. 

   Usually Lakorns are compared to soap operas or their nighttime equivalent (Dynasty, Melrose Place, OC, etc), because of their over the top emotional confrontations & cliched plot devices (evil twins, rich vs. poor, amnesia, etc).

   However, Thai Lakorns have closed story lines & are closer to mini-series usually airing 2ice/week over 2 - 3 months.
