The Supreme Master Ching Hai writes a book and it rockets to No. 8 on Amazon. (links to AngryAsianMan). Who is The Supreme Master, you ask? Let's just say she's a very special lady. With lots of followers. We chronicled some of her antics in our chart of nutty gurus and cult leaders, "Gurus Gone Wild" in Issue 11. By the way, if you're going to buy her book, do click through the Amazon link to the right of our blog here. Anything you buy while going through the Hyphen link helps Hyphen get a teeny tiny commission.

DISGRASIAN has a few sassy things to say about how the show follows in the footsteps of Gwen Stefani in treating people of color like accessories. Read about the one black girl and one Asian girl on the show, aka the HaraGossip Girls (links to Racialicious). You know the two. They always show up together, dressed similarly, trailing queen bee Blair.
And here's a cool story in the Boston Globe about POC bloggers. Blog is Beautiful. You should check it out if only to find out about all the great blogs that are out there. (I linked to a few of them today.)

It's a busy day. And I'm hungry, so I'm just going to link to a few things I've been reading.
By the way, I love the tagline on DISGRASIAN's site: "You're a disgrace. To the race." We feel that way too sometimes about certain people. I've been thinking of starting a hopefully not-too-recurring entry on the Hyphen blog called Losing Face. As in "Losing Face: Tila Tequila."
