The LACMA exhibit with my grandmas' dresses is ongoing and will be featured with Mahjong night next Saturday. There's probably 12 funny Chinese puns to be made there. If you're into the couture of cheongsam, qipao, and related garments, it's a good time, and mahjong is a beautiful game.

Hey, my first novel's available in print form at the Kindle store. Pretty cool huh? Also in the ebook formats. It's a thinky crime thriller about sports gambling scandals, casino culture, #AsianAmerican stuff. Pairs well with the start of #NFL and #NCAAF! "JQK" ~ Jack Queen King ♣️❤️♠ #debutnovel

A CNN article featuring my mom, about the exhibit opening at LACMA this week, featuring cheongsam and qipao from my grandmothers' collections. Specially-designed mannequins by Jason Wu, too. The piece goes into good depth about the journey, I think, and the dresses are gorgeous in this setting.

A rare collection of Chinese cheongsams tells a story of personal style and cultural connection in 20th-century America | CNN

“Fashioning Chinese Women,” a new exhibition at LACMA, showcases over 70 garments, many of them from the private collection of one Chinese American family.

A reminder, this exhibit is opening soon at LACMA, featuring garments from both my late grandmothers, cheongsam and qipao (we won’t get hung up on the terminology right here, it's complex history). Bsky seems not great with the images, but the dresses are all splendid and gorgeous.

Hi @minakimes.bsky.social, big fan, I may've written a novel on Asian Americans & football scandals w/ a main character very loosely inspired by you, if you were a cinematic action hero in the trashy-yet-thinky crime thriller genre. Becos fandom! Thank u for all u do. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZ9BKM52
