Bangkok Blogstar
A few hours ago she was at the Central World Shopping Center, Bangkok. “It was echotastic” she wrote, “but then lightning hit.” She wrote this on twitter. She also posted that she was on Phuket for the weekend, where she had an unpleasant encounter with a repulsing foreign reporter: “Do you write for an English magazine, he asked. Yes, I said. No, really? he said. Am I not speaking English with you, you idiot?” [All quotes are loosely translated back and forth and prob. nothing like the orig. posts?]
Her name is Alisara Chorapongse, she loves the color pink and is obsessed with fashion. For years she has been running an an accordingly themed blog, starting out with a small readership, and this would be the end of the story if the Thai military hadn’t staged a coup in 2006, followed by a news blackout, as usual for a coup d’etat. But then, this kitty showed her claws. “The military is staging a coup!” she blogged. “It’s over for the government. The military is in power!” She posted photos of the troops and organized a campaign against the army’s attempts to win her over for censorship. Ever since, she is known in the whole world and talked about from time to time. Today, for example, here.
And ever since the coup, she doesn’t like like roadblocks, either. Yesterday the Rama 1 road in Bangkok was blocked, which she criticized right away. “Why I care? Because I have yet to pick up my pictures from Phuket and I can’t access the shop.”
