Presenting self-confessed Gweilo Diaries "groupie" Isabella, who has, as I informed you yesterday, volunteered to be this week's Girl Friday.

Isabella is from Singapore and, in addition to semi-clothed showers, enjoys Salsa, Nabokov, whisky sours and black forest cheese cake.

You can see more of Isabella here, and here.

NOTE: The observant will notice I have prohibited comments to this post. I will not be around all weekend to babysit and, as sure as night follows day, someone will, in my absence, post something lewd or otherwise inappropriate. Anyone wishing to share appreciative comments can address them to me by e-mail and I will, as appropriate, foward them to Isabella.

More Irin here and here.

And speaking of Thai week, Kwan is back from Krabi, Thailand and has posted her holiday pics here. No boobies, but lots of photos of Kwan and her friends climbing some very frightening looking rock faces. How bizarre. The only thing you'll find me climbing on holiday is on top of a bar stool.

The delectable Phusara:

More Phusara here.

This week will feature beauties from the Land of Smiles:

One more Filipina:

Another Philippine delight:

Plus, as an added bonus, to conclude "Filipina Week", buy one, get three free.

Sorry about the long posting drought. I'd hoped to update while away for the weekend but a painfully slow internet connection, a distractingly pretty girl and an excess of alcohol intruded.

In rememberance of my travels, here's an indigenous beauty.

This photograph looks remarkably like a girl I know in Manila.

More of Korea's Yumi Lee here and here.

Proof that South Korea's xenophobic nationalism doesn't have to be ugly.

Since yesterday's change of pace proved popular.

Here, here and here.

Despite the protests and condemnation, here she is.

Enjoy your Chinese New Year. This should help.

All photos this week are dedicated to Hong Kong's most self-righteous blogger.

Twelve rounds, no head butts, no rabbit punches, but clinching is not only allowed, it's recommended

The booby embargo, imposed to punish your less than wholehearted support in the recent Asian Weblog Awards, has begun to elicit howls of protest. Have you suffered enough for your fecklessness? Is it time for me to relent?

I don't think so. Your punishment continues.

More "anti-boobies".

More anti-boobies.
