I think she’s hot. I don’t know that I’d break the law for her; which law are we talking about? ---

I’m in China, and most of the images of Lu Jiali are blocked, so it is difficult for me to see any photos of her. The Chinese standard of beauty seems to be be tall, thin, big eyes, small mouth, and narrow jaw. Reminds me of Japanese anime. In the one photo I could find of her she does not look “plain faced”. Most of the Chinese that I talk to seem to think that Lucy Liu is “a little ugly”, so tastes in women can vary. . ---

ok, she looks better here [http://fisherwy.blogspot.com/2007/08/photo-of-professional-sex-briber-lu-jia.html](http://fisherwy.blogspot.com/2007/08/photo-of-professional-sex-briber-lu-jia.html) . Maybe she is like Communism - best viewed at a distance and with some details covered up ;). ---

Lucy Liu pics in wikipedia to me look pretty similar to a white face. But no white ancestry seems mentioned in the article, so maybe that just happens to be one of Chinese facial types.
