THE LADY IS A TIGER

Pop stars come and go, but you know you’ve hit the big time when Hong Kong stars imitate you in drag.

Meet Lady Tiger.



That’s Wong Cho-lam [王祖藍], one of the hottest stars on TVB right now. Like most HK performers, he’s all-purpose (acting, singing, dancing), but he’s also a writer, an ace improv performer and impersonator. And he’s currently knocking them dead in a weekly variety show mainly by dressing in drag with co-stars Johnston Lee and Louis Yuen parodying Sex And The City.

Which is worth mentioning because in HK, the only way you can do a TV sketch with three sexy women making risque sex jokes is to have the women played by three guys in drag.

The other thing worth mentioning is that Wong is a better singer than most of the major Cantopop stars in heavy rotation. (So are Lee and Yuen, for that matter.)

Camp rock,
