Jolin Tsai Wows Beijing

She wowed (if you will) me just from the stills! Must be quite a show.

Is that a Pepsi logo partially seen on the side of her costume in the first, second and fourth picture?

Jolin Tsai Wows Beijing

Suddenly I'm in the mood for a cool, refreshing soft drink . . . but I can't figure out why.




EDIT:

Just noticed you caught that too Ed. Jolin is indeed a spokesperson for Pepsi. I have to admit this is probably the most blatant form of celebrity branding I've seen in forever, actually making the star look like a can of their product!
