Chinese Fashionista Boot Camp

The Chinese sure love order and discipline.
I was walking down the street in Xi’an this afternoon, when I heard the distinct call-and-reply of a drill sergeant and his troops, only it was all in Chinese, and the voices were a whole lot daintier than anything you’d hear coming out of the Army. A few more steps revealed the source of the yelling: the drill sergeant was a scrawny Chinese hipster, with tight black jeans and impressively dolled-up, teased and highlighted hair, yelling to rows of cute teenage girls, wearing in shoes with little bows, and standing at “attention” as best as a girl with rainbow barrettes and perms could muster.
The drill sergeant would yell out commands, and the girls would yell back in a chorus of high, girly voices, and then do coordinated hand movements…pretending to comb hair, lather shampoo or blow-dry invisible locks. This was Chinese Fashionista Boot Camp, and these girls were, apparently, learning how to be hair dressers. Why they needed to stand at attention and recite commands about dying hair, or show how to “take a little bit more off the sides” with synchronized imaginary scissors, is completely beyond me.
But then again, this is China.
(Sorry for the crappy quality of the photo – I didn’t want to be too obvious that I was snapping a picture! There’s a second one below.)

This post reeks of patronisation. You obviously know nothing about China, and your clueless white man’s perspective isn’t cute or funny – it’s just dumb.
Stop posting this shit.

* Fight Darth Vader with a Light Saber!* Come out of the water holding a mcihane gun in one hand mowing down the enemy like Rambo.* Do the Crane kick on that punk in Karate Kid Part 1 and then immediately catch a fly with chopsticks.* Survive and win a boxing match against Drago from Rocky 4.* Arm wrestle and beat Bull Harley from Over the Top, but only after I get to turn my hat around backward.* I am Superman, so I have that covered * Swing over a pit of killer alligators with my whip like Indiana Jones.What can I say I’m an 80 s brat?!
