a proper Mongolian welcome – yay Wuhai! :)

Posted this on my Sina Twitter account and got some *very* amusing responses… best one of course is the Oreo reference.

跳蒙族的欢快舞蹈

最近我去内蒙呼和浩特主持了《第十一届中国·呼和浩特昭君文化节》的活动,去年我也主持了这个晚会。这次让我感觉印象比较深,更加喜欢中国少数民族的传统文化,我特别的喜欢晚会上他们唱的蒙族歌曲、跳蒙族的欢快舞蹈。 当天晚上表演了很多地地道道的蒙古舞蹈,很多是我从来没有看到过的,他们穿着非常漂亮、五颜六色的蒙古服装跳舞。他们的蒙古舞蹈是那样的美丽,和我们平时看到的舞蹈非常的不一样,也和我以前知道的完全不一样。如果你看他们的舞蹈可以感觉到蒙古人的热情、奔放、豪爽。晚会上还有唱了很多的歌曲,有很流行的歌曲,也有一些蒙古歌曲。但是我觉得最好听的还是很帅的蒙古小伙子唱的歌曲,不管是唱蒙古歌曲还是流行歌曲,你都可以感觉到非常的不一样。听他们唱歌好像感觉到你站在一望无际的大草原上一样,非常的舒服也很难忘记。 在后台我一有机会就会和他们聊天,请他们教我跳蒙古舞蹈,那些姑娘和小伙子都很好很热心的教我。还有他们蒙古的名字让我一直记不住,在蒙古生活的汉族人也很难记住,因为我是老外记不住也不能算是不礼貌的吧!我自己很喜欢内蒙,也和内蒙古有很多的缘分我有好多很好的朋友是内蒙人,还有我的干妈也是内蒙人。就想起中国人经常说的一句话“上辈子我就是一个地地道道的内蒙人” 所以我对内蒙感觉是那样的熟悉和热爱。内蒙也好像是我的第二个老家一样。也有很多的活动机会让我经常来呼和浩特看看我的“第二个老家” 在呼和浩特让我印象最深的还有蒙古美食,你可以大口吃肉大口喝酒。(虽然我不能喝那么多的酒)所以现在我每次去呼和浩特的时候,我都吃很多很多的菜和肉,回北京以后我再开始减肥呵呵…. 但是这也让我觉得自己很幸福有机会吃到这么美味的蒙古菜。这里不像在北京,每个人都是那么热情好客,让你觉得像是回到自己的家里一样没有陌生感。我个人一直觉得中国有很多的少数民族文化,他们的文化是那么的特别,中国应该多多的保护他们的文化。这样的文化如果慢慢丢失了太可惜了,应该有更多的机会让全世界的人知道他们的文化。如果有机会我希望自己可以帮助他们宣传他们的特色文化,让更多的人知道并了解。

Backstage Boho — the glam Elyse Ribbons look (or something)

So I recently caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror while waiting for the elevator before another one of these gala shows I was hosting in Inner Mongolia and couldn’t help giggling at myself. I’m used to people looking at my strangely (what, a whitey speaking Chinese?!) that I guess it hadn’t occurred to [...]

as a sexy secretary for a bank commercial 职业女性柳素英

Spent this morning at a study in the northern outback of Beijing’s Haidian District filming a silly little commercial for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China 工商银行. I think I’m meant to be a sexy secretary and/or corporate executive (is there a difference?). I mean, from a costuming perspective, of course. Ha. But still [...]

Elyse as “Blanche” in the film Li Jia Dayuan

I haven’t really had a chance to post much during this film shoot… not that I should have expected otherwise, but still, there’s always the hope that maybe I won’t be so exhausted that I might be able to write down my thoughts and share pictures and whatnot. But no. Sooo tired. Always. The filming [...]

柳素英饰布兰切《李家大院》

这是我在运城拍摄《李家大院》布兰切的照片。剧组的人很好,有几个帮我偷偷拍剧照。大家也看出来我在扮演一个孕妇,这是我第一次享受大肚子的感觉。我是不是以后要生孩子我现在不知道,但是做妈妈的感觉很幸福。 你们看我的服装怎么样?像不像一百年前英国的贵族?穿这么复杂的衣服当然挺好玩,但是很热。超级热。我一天最少得喝十几瓶水。正好可以排毒。哈哈。 这是一个真实的故事的电影。当然剧本被改变了一点,但是大部分还是非常真实的。大家如果有机会推荐你们去参观一下李家大院,非常漂亮的建筑风格。而且那边的导游都很热心。有几个可爱的小闺女也在剧中扮演不同的角色。 小吃也超级好吃,尤其是凉菜和醋是我的最爱。:) ~ 布兰切 (柳素英)

Returning for the second time, I did the English hosting for NMTV’s Mongolian version of the lunar new year (which happens in the Summer) [...]
