Beijing Mac Chick stripping for earthquake relief – makes us wish we lived on a fault line
19-year-old Xiao Yun from China’s Sichuan province has come up with a novel way to raise money for victims of the catastrophic earthquake which struck China 2 months ago – she is posting scantily clad pictures of herself on the web, with promises of more to come as more money is donated. Her site has already received over 1 million hits.
Yes, there IS a Mac in the picture, you just have to train your eyes…
“It’s encouraging to see people donating to help – I will release more photographs of myself to encourage more people to donate,” she writes. “I am still a student, so I am doing my part in my way. I just want to give something back to my hometown.”
As you can see from some of the photos, Xiao Yun seems to be a Mac Chick, a great sign that perhaps Apple’s newly opened Beijing store will be a success.

I actually considered a similar fundraiser, one where I would vow to keep my clothes ON if people donated, but the tax issues involved in international fundraising were just too complicated, so I think I’ll leave it to Xiao Yun.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader MBK for the link!

Come on. Not everybody in the world speaks English as their first (or even second) language, so give them a break.
But I have to admit, it’s hilarious! 😀
Hey Doc, have you tried contacting her (or her “handler”) to see if she’d give permission to post her as a MCotM? Get a little interview maybe and some hi-res desktop wallpaper if possible.
I can’t get to any of the sites mentioned in the article or the comments. They just time out on me.
I just tested the site I posted before. It works fine for me.
Me love her long time.
Thanks for the Arrows… I really really needed them to help me find the apple product. 😎
