She's soooo pretty. I remember her guest starring on an episode of Quantum Leap, which was my very favorite show for a while. But I think I somehow missed seeing Karate Kid 2.

Until Northern Exposure, you rarely saw anyone of Native descent on television, either full or mixed blood. My uncle made us watch Westerns with him on the weekends, but the Natives on those were played by white people in bad face paint. I get a lot of amusement out of the fact that many mixed blood Native actors now play white people. But I'd prefer better representation than the "special" episodes where they go to the rez to solve a crime and the local "tracker" helps save the day.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138968066861006638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-23400652027213972642009-05-17T02:56:00.000-07:002009-05-17T02:56:00.000-07:00Holy crap, I watched Karated Kid 2 a week ago in t...Holy crap, I watched Karated Kid 2 a week ago in the train (yeah don't ask, old school movies to pass the time is pretty brilliant :D), and was thinking about her and how gorgeous she was!!!

That being said, I'm still waiting for a filipino representation that's not a prostitute/stripper/domestic servant.<br /><br />I also thought Tamlyn was the best thing in KKII, but her turn in the Babylon 5 pilot made this SciFi geek giddy w/ unrequited anticipation.<br /><br />Love your blogs and tweets.rjeladnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-17279910374901313812009-05-16T06:40:00.000-07:002009-05-16T06:40:00.000-07:00Wonderful post, Dorothy.

I remember that when I watched "Mulan," it was one of the first times I had ever been, firstly, aware that I was Asian (I grew up in a predominantly white town), and, secondly, proud of the fact that I was Asian.<br /><br />That and when that James Bond Movie, "Tomorrow Never Dies" came out, I saw it several times just to see Michelle Yeoh (of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" kick ass and be super-sexy (I was also a blooming Asian baby-dyke, at age 9 or 10). <br /><br />I love your blog, by the way, and reading about sex-perspectives written by Asian-American lesbians (or queers, I'm not sure what title you use). I'm hoping to find more A-A queer blogs out there, or perhaps to start blogging about these things myself. Do you have any suggestions on where to find A-A blogs that write about these sorts of things?Whithttp://runciblespoon.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-53469947442512136432009-05-15T09:07:00.000-07:002009-05-15T09:07:00.000-07:00and she is, still, unbelievably hot now.
