Hong Kong is often said to be the most difficult city to find a woman that’s a keeper with many local girls fobbed off as being materialistic, the single expat women simply not worth a second glance while the Cathay Pacific and Dragonair pilots having the pick of the crop- even if not a vintage crop when knowing what’s available in London, Australia, Scandinavia and, of course, Eastern Europe.
Over the past week, we have seen one of the most transparently fraudulent, yet savvy, Chinese business women in action.
In her late Twenties, reasonably attractive and openly gay, she still manages to snag a particular type of man- Chinese, weak, married and very well-to-do.
They wine and dine her- and her female friends- in the most expensive restaurants in town and shower her with presents- expensive ones.
At around 1am she brings them to one of her favorite bars in Soho where the management knows the game she plays: Have these weaklings eating out of her hand, promising to buy her all things Cartier while she insults them- and which they take and wonder what’s wrong with THEM!
Then, when they feel it’s late enough and time to get her to bed, she suddenly starts to fall all over the place like a drunken sailor- she’s sober as a judge- until she is put into one of their chauffer-driven cars and taken home- her home.
Believe it or not, this game is repeated over and over as there’s a new sucker born every minute- or the same sucker coming back for more.

TWO WHITE ELEPHANTS AND ONE ALBATROSS
The much-hyped Hairdo Bar in Lower Elgin Street, which many thought would truly wake up that street appears to be DOA.
Whenever we walk past it, there are no customers, often there is no staff and “the grand opening” promised months ago is still to happen.
All very suss and strange as to why this place was opened in the first place.
In the meantime, what was once the Liquid Lounge- for a very short time and should never have been opened as it was one big mess- on the same street remains boarded up- fueling rumors amongst many locals that the venue is haunted which is why no business started here has ever succeeded.

WTF TO BECOME FAR MORE WTF?
Attracting a very loyal and different type of clientele- those who actually spend money and not sit there for hours on end sipping one drink and smoking from sheesha pipes- plus the straight crowd and the Pink Dollar market is WTF in Lower Elgin Street.
We understand that 2014 will see WTF live up more to its name and create a restaurant-bar that will be a happy meeting place for the variety of customers mentioned above, great music, some ‘live’ music and plenty of real WTF Moments.
