Lovely Lena

Wow! Just... Wow!

Back to the Bangkok Governor's race. I profiled Chuwit already - not because I'm interested in Bangkok politics, but because he's such a quirky character. A close second to Chuwit in the quirky category is Lena Jung, otherwise known as Lovely Lena. Whereas Chuwit's quirkiness is more on the eccentric side of the spectrum, Lena finds herself on the extremely insane side of quirky.

She's called Lovely Lena because she owns a line of Hi-So (High Society) beauty products.

Here are some samples of her products:

- Pink Nipple Nourishing Cream
- Big + Up Breast Cream for Growth and Firming
- Lift-Up Whitening Cream- Whitening Milk Shower Spa Cream
- Whitening Armpit Cream
- Eye Primer Gel
- Stretch Mark Remover
- Acne & Blemish Whitening Cream

Not sure what inspired her to get into politics. Oh, right... she's insane.

This past Wednesday, she was out campaigning and, not unlike Banharn Silpa-archa last year, she fell into one Bangkok's bacteria-ridden canals. Only, unlike Banharn, she did it on purpose - to show her support for canal safety. That's her in the pink.



She's got my vote.



It worked so well that she did it again on Thursday. But this time, her entire campaign team fell in. To dramatize the danger and filth of the canal, one member, Thirasak, flailed wildly and cried for help. Everybody cheered and laughed, as he played for the cameras. One problem - he was really drowning.

I read where Lena is going to take some time off from her campaign to help with funeral arrangements and look after Thirasak's wife who is 7 months pregnant.
