." This is the only show in Shanghai where you'll find some in demand boys," joked a buddy at Ximon Lee, the last runway presentation at the Shanghai compilations. "You'll see lovely females and traditional Chinese Tai Tai's [an idiomatic condition for a wealthy, wedded lady], those kinds of versions, however simply here you'll get hot men!"
