Ao Dai Style
I would like to dedicate the new layout to all my Vietnamese ladies around the world on International Women’s Day. So don’t say that Donny doesn’t care about women. My inspiration for this design is drawn from the captivating photograph on the left. Once again, mad kowtows to Hoai Nam and the Ao Trang‘s folks for allowing me to use their work. I emailed them this morning asking for permission, and I received an instant reply with, “We’ll always backing you up 100%.” That makes me feel so good, and I am grateful for it. Anyway, enjoy your special day, ladies! And keep your head up!
That’s a very pretty layout, D. Good work.
Good to know some people still remember. Thanks D =)
Don are you gay, ahhahha?
Joking…you are good.
It looks simple but elegant.
N.
It is a nice background! I like it.
I’m a travel guide in Vietnam, know you through the song Bonjour Viet Nam and a article written about you. Would you like to make friends with me? I’m a girl,26 years old. I’d like to make friends with all patriots.
I love this.
Having seen “Bonjour Vietnam” and “Ao dai” flashes from Donny, I wonder how a flash with “Ta da yeu nhau trong mua gio” will look like.
To Donny:
have you heard that song? Thuy Tien is famous for it before “Ngot & Dang”.
and I have an Ao Trang calendar hanging over my bed…just love it…
Hoa Nguyen: I wonder the very same thing. That is one heck of a mesmerizing song. It can lead one to an altered state of consciousness and heightened vulnerability. Me, for example. :P
Good job on the layout Donny as always. I went back home this year after being away for 30 years and it was really a shame to see so very few ao dai’s being worn by the women in Viet Nam (mostly school girls). Ladies, don’t you know how attractive and beautiful you are in an ao dai?
To Miyo,
Finally found SO loves “Ta da yeu nhau trong mua gio” like me. :-).
Can you believe that even my girlfriend hardly shares that feeling with me, although Quoc Bao’s lyrics is all I want to say to her.
But we still share a lot of other stuff. hehe
Hoa Nguyen & Miyo, don’t worry. you guys are not alone. I like that song too :)
Donny,
I find the new layout is disturbing. I got used to your old layout and this new layout make me shift my focus area to the right. The picture of the lady in “A’o Da`i” took to much space. I use side bar for RSS and i can’t read some of the right end text without using horizonal scroll bar in the main window.
Donny, your site becomes more like your own online dating service with each new post. Hmmm… actually that wouldn’t be too bad. You could make some side cash without succumbing to ad suffocation.
Good times
I like the background color, it looks warmer. The picture is cute but doesn’t show off ao dai, the girl’s hair is more highlighted. It is good though since Vietnamese women have beautiful hair too.
